Title: Z Crashes When Applets Installed
Post by: penguinsam on March 29, 2005, 02:31:10 pm

I am using 760 with CACKO 1.22a installed. I have installed a number of taskbar applets on Z, and now once I install a new applet or change some settings on subapplet, for instance, Z restarts.

It's troublesome to wait the Z to boot up if I just need to change some minor settings. Does anyone advise on how I could find out the source of crash by looking at some log files or whatsoever?

Try turning on Qtopia logging.

Go and edit /home/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh and comment out this line, like this:

Code: [Select]

#    nice survive -l 6 runqpe $QPEUSER $QPEGROUP >/dev/null 2>&1
and uncomment the next line like this:

Code: [Select]

   nice survive -l 6 runqpe $QPEUSER $QPEGROUP >/home/zaurus/log.`date +%H%M%S` 2>&1
That will send all of Qtopia's output to a log file in /home/zaurus, with a timestamp attached.

You could also try looking at what applets are being loaded, with this command:

Code: [Select]

ls -l /home/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets
The ones with a . in front of them are the applets hidden in the subapplet tray, if you use it.

This is normal - but there is an other applet manager which prevents Qtopia from restarting:

I finally discover that after I installed korganizer-alarm, whenever I make changes to the taskbar, qtopia restart.

Anyone has the same problem or knows why?
