OpenBSD / Openbsd Install And Fdisk

« on: September 23, 2006, 07:14:56 pm »

Thanks for your help, that did it! If I was better at coding, I'd quite gladly help out..but as it is, perhaps I'll work on becoming more familiar with the Zaurus installation and see how I can help with the instructions.

OpenBSD / Openbsd Install And Fdisk

« on: September 23, 2006, 04:02:47 pm »

I apologise for being unclear before. It's not that I don't have the time to install or enjoy it, it's just that I'm having difficulty following the instructions, which for OpenBSD are generally of higher caliber and are simpler to follow.

One of the three partitions on the Zaurus C3x00 hard drive is
   a 3GB or 5GB MS-DOS filesystem.  This partition has application
   and user data on it and can be a lot smaller.  It is therefore
   recommended that you cut most of the space off this large MS-DOS
   partition, and create a new A6 partition afterwards, like this:

  0: 83    0   3 13 - 1511   7 17 [          63:      205569 ] Linux files*
  1: 83 1512   0  1 - 7559   7 17 [      205632:      822528 ] Linux files*
  2: 0C 7560   0  1 - 9065   7  1 [     1028160:      204800 ] Win95 FAT32L
  3: A6 9065   7  2 - 67885   5  3 [     1232960:     7999488 ] OpenBSD     

   After shrinking the MS-DOS partition, please be sure to newfs
   it using: newfs -t msdos /dev/rwd0k

That's the part I'm having trouble with. I'll [E]dit partition 2 and enter a new, smaller size, but the changes aren't reflected and I can't subsequently create an OpenBSD partiton of any size. It's unclear as to how I should continue. Edit 2, type a smaller size, Write the changes and enter the newfs -t msdos /dev/rwd0k command, then re-enter the OpenBSD install and create the fourth partition? But I doubt that would work, as fdisk in the i386 OpenBSD has never lead me wrong, and it's reporting that no space is left for OpenBSD, even after I try to shrink it.

Themes, Icons, and Backgrounds / Black/dark Theme For Sharp Rom?

« on: September 21, 2006, 08:54:36 pm »

That icon above is actually called qtsamba.png
It's the wrong one, here's the correct one, it's called myzaurus.png [32x32]

connect and disconnect icons are located in opt/QtPalmtop/pics/netmon/

The attached icons have their respective filenames, if you right-click them and save as, the filename should appear.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=142026\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Nope, the forum conveniently renames them. No worries though. I'll figure out the other and stop dragging this thing off-topic.

Again, a wonderful theme, Cresho!

Themes, Icons, and Backgrounds / Black/dark Theme For Sharp Rom?

« on: September 21, 2006, 08:37:46 pm »

I may have to try this in Cacko later.
Presently, I'm using Cresho's "cacko123-icons-oslinux-cxxxx_1.0_arm" theme
BTW, here is a *.png of the card manager icon in cacko.
This is the correct image, but it's 64x64
I didn't think an icon in the taskbar would be 64x64
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=142024\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

What's the icon name for that? And for the record, any idea what the Connect/Disconnect icons are called? I've tried to change various icons such as that before, but never could get it to work. To make this perfect I'd want to swap the CyrKeyboard and Pickboard icons, replace the Connect/Disconnect icons, and swap the tray icons with more decent ones. (Not a request for Cresho, a question of where the actual icons are stored and if it's possible to change them manually..but I'm getting off-topic here.)

Themes, Icons, and Backgrounds / Black/dark Theme For Sharp Rom?

Nope, I installed it normally from an SD card, with no special tricks. Not all of the icons were automagically changed for me, but that was expected and I just used icons from xtra. Everything works quite well, and my only complaint would be that the Connect/Disconnect in the Qtopia ("Start") menu are still the old style, and stand out. The card manager icon was changed to a CF card - I forget what it was before, but I use the CF slot for wireless, and only have an SD card. Not really even an annoyance, just interesting.

Two of the icons in xtra, xtra/gnome-mime-application-vnd, and....apparently the same icon again, xtra/gnome-mime-application-vnd, appear in the list but don't seem to actually have an image.

Screenshot attached.

OpenBSD / Openbsd Install And Fdisk

« on: September 21, 2006, 07:15:34 pm »

Hello! I've been trying to install OpenBSD current on my C3100, and I've been running into some confusion. I've installed OpenBSD a number of times on my laptop, and it's by far the operating system I'm most comfortable with and prefer - so I thought it would be rather simple to install it on the Zaurus.

The problem is, the installation instructions aren't incredibly clear, and I'm having difficulty following them. Perhaps I'm being stupid, but I can't seem to figure this out. I know I have to shrink the third partition, (perhaps to around 30 or 50 MB?), and then run newfs -t msdos /dev/rwd0k, but the instructions aren't incredibly clear. I try to e [edit] it, and type in a new size, then edit the last one to be of type OpenBSD, but it won't let me enter a large size, and then if I continue, more confusion erupts on the next screen.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Heh..thanks! Although I was attempting to come up with inspiration..I tried to make it myself, but quickly discovered that I'm no artist. Please, make it however you feel like, or not at all if it's a bother. I'm sure it'll look great. It seems the backgrounds I posted have disappeared...perhaps this artist can provide you with a suitable background image? I quite like his work.

Many thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Clock Applet Colour/font

I don't believe that matchbox-remote can do that, unfortunately...thanks for the help though.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Clock Applet Colour/font

« on: November 11, 2005, 01:40:14 am »

Is there a way to change the colour of the clock applet in RC12? The font's ok, I suppose, but I'd like to change it if possible. All I really need to do though is change the colour of the time to white, as the vast majority of my Zaurus themes are dark coloured.

I already checked the Matchbox website, but the best thing I could find there was:

4.2.3. mb-applet-clock

A simple clock.

Wonderfully helpful, isn't it? Anyways, does anybody know if this is possible? Many thanks in advance.

@Meanie: In your signature you are writing about a 4G card you use... I always heard that there exists a 1G limit for SD/CF cards... What have you done to make this huge card work?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=100693\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The 1G limit applies only to SD cards, not CF cards.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Hard Drive Question

« on: October 22, 2005, 11:26:18 pm »

Perhaps he already tried that, and merely can't find the files on the hard drive whilst searching. Never fear, they're there! Somewhere. I'm gibbering tired right now so I can't recall how it's all set up, but if you told it to install to the hard drive (the default option, I should add), then it's there. You just won't be able to see it when you're connecting it the Zaurus to the computer.

Or, if you never get the option, then just reflash it and try again. (Presumably converting it to English beforehand)

Thanks, both of you! Good luck! Take your time, I look forward to seeing the finished product. If I knew how to help out, I would.
