Pdaxqtrom & Apps, Started new thread Options

[Jon_J]

I hope nobody minds me starting a dedicated thread for pdaXqtrom.
I thought it would be easier to search.

Meanie has posted information about pdaXqtrom here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209
and here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18789

BTW, Thank you Meanie for such a comprehensive package.

I'm not an experienced Linux user, so many of the applications in the apps package are foreign to me.
I'm using the cramfs versions.
I installed pdaXqtrom 1.1.0 - beta 0.7.5 first all by itself.
Then later decided to install pdaXqtApps - beta 0.7.5
I have this installed to a 128MB Lexar SD card formatted as ext2
I haven't installed zgcc2-95-2
I have a couple questions, and observations to list.
I use Cacko Lite 1.23 on my C3100
I enabled a 128MB swapfile in Cacko.

Do I need the automounter? I assumed it is already installed by Cacko.
I have 2 mount points shown in console for the two packages that I installed.

Has the libfloat problem mentioned here been addressed?
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...ndpost&p=124465

I tried to launch Abiword from the X/Qt tab in Qtopia and it only launches X/Qt, but not Abiword.
So far, I've been able to launch Dillo and GQview.
(I can launch these from X/Qt and from Qtopia)
GQview doesn't seem to be able to "see" my picture files in any of my directories on my FAT formatted /hdd3.
Is the problem with GQview related to my FAT formatted drive? It shows the directory structure, but no files.
I haven't tried any other applications yet, but will add more to this post later.
Below is the output from console during the install process.
pdaXqtrom-base was already installed. This is from when I installed pdaXqtrom-apps.

Seems I also have a gtk related problem..
After a clean install of Cacko light 1.23 on C1000, I installed Xqt using the 5/15 build.

In this setup, abiword, GIMP, FileManager, Rox, GAIM, SCIM and some other programs failed to launch.. almost all of them encounter error related to gtk library..

Since I am a newbie to both linux and zaurus, I have no idea how to isolate the problem.. could you give me any advice?

[adf]

a few posts up meanie posted "...try running the xqtcleanup script and then make sure there is no more libglib* under /usr/lib/ and then try again."

I'm sure the script is somewhere on his site.

Thank you for kindly pointing out
However, I tried the process mentioned above (mnt/pdaxqtrom-base/tools/xqtcleanup -yes, then rm libglib* in /usr/lib/)
and I still experience the same problem, this time accompanied with another error looks like this

CODE

BScreen::BScreen: managing screen 0 using visual 0x21, depth 16
2036: Segmentation fault
FbTk::Transparent: Failed to find format for Screen(0)
FbTk::Transparent: Failed to find format for Screen(0)
dozens of the above line...

Unknown ClientMessage

Keys: Failed to merge keytree!

Is there anything I missed?

I guess not. I hadn't tried it 'til after i posted. It didn't solve any of my problems either. You have to admit, though-it did look promising

Found some scripts in the other thread, and after these scripts abiword starts.
And so do some other programs such as GAIM, SCIM config and Rox is also working fine. Hurray!
Stardict launched, however no Dict installed. That should not be a problem^^

run this code then re-run install script

CODE

rm /opt/QtPalmtop/libpng*
rm /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

and

CODE

su
ln -sf /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/gtk-2.0 /usr/lib/gtk-2.0
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

However, I failed to use SCIM in abiword. Even after i start SCIM from the terminal, and assigned Hotkeys for the IM I want to use, SCIM still won't work. (I can already see the small SCIM icon hanging on the toolbar of flux)

And, although I know this might happen, IM for sharp rom (ckeyboard) does not work in abiword. Although in the Text editor I can see the incorrect fonts show up, but I can't find unisun in TextEditor. So I still have no way to input chinese in X..

Is there something else need to be done to make SCIM work?
SCIM is one main reason why I want the X environment ^^a
--
Besides, the freetype version too old message still shows up when I try to start GIMP.. not knowing how to uninstall free type inside X, so I still cannot start GIMP

[adf]

it worked! gimp now runs on my cacko/pdaxqt setup (all cramfs btw)

thanks

How do you uninstall the freetype?
Or.. what did you do to make it work?

no idea. i did remove /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libpng* I think you left lib out of that path?

other then thant I just fuolowed your directions --put in each line in order, then ran the pdaxqt install.

Have you tried finding and exterminating all freetype and then playing with installations? kinda obvious I suppose, but if you haven't tried...

[moe]

Thanks for shedding the light

Got GIMP working.. the freetype problem is solved after the below command

CODE

su
cd /opt/Qtpalmtop/lib/
ln -sf libfreetype.so.6.3.8 libfreetype.so
ln -sf libfreetype.so.6.3.8 libfreetype.so.6

After this the freetype lib is redirected to the correct version, and GIMP runs.
Thanks again, Meanie, this package really rocks.
If there are any info about how to get SCIM input forgien character correctly, that will be even better^^

you could had also just uninstalled freetype from the qinstaller gui found under settings tab on the qt desktop before running pdaxqtrom-base-setup
as for scim, are there any error messages in the terminal? maybe you need to assign a different key sequence to activate the scim input panel. ctrl or alt + space usually activates it. also make sure the file monolingual does not exist because that disables the scim input module.

opps.. there is a monolingual file.. And the SCIM works now.
Thank you Meanie, this is a excellent package for newbies.
