Requests for packages which are in OE and need to be upgraded and added to the (upgrades) feed.
Few rules:
1. package MUST already exist in OpenEmbedded
2. it has to be package - we won't build whole OPIE

I installed qpegps, but it requires a gpsd to run...and gpsd isn't in the feed. Could we get the gpsd the qpegps team provides from Sourceforge. That would make me a truly happy person...thanks!
-
A working Wellenreiter II would be nice
Thanks to all the effort the OZ and Opie teams put in! It is much appreciated.

A gpsd integrating fixes for the USB Delorme Earthmate (http://trans.civil.northwestern.edu/~jay/gpsd.html, http://geocities.com/i0xox0i) (http://geocities.com/i0xox0i)) would make me very very happy.
Says it requires libusb 0.1.8+ and kernel 2.6, or there is a patch for 2.4.x kernels in the second link.

for machine related things please add (by hand) machine feeds:
http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl.../machine/collie (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/machine/collie)

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...ed/machine/tosa (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/machine/tosa)
choose correct one ofcourse
this will resolve:
- sharp-camera-support
- libqte2
- orinoco-modules-cs
- kdepimpi 2.0.27 will be available soon in feed
- gpsd is provided - fixed version has to be made by someone who know that util - I probably can add it but wont be able to test. Anyway qpegps has a problem with new gpsd
-
Hrw,
could you try adding it anyway? I'll test it for you.
As i recall, I tested the gpsd from the ipk on SF provided by the qpegps, while myself using the qpegps from the 3.5.2 feed, and it worked, except it gave me numbers that were totally off...i assume this was because of the float incompatibilities, or whatever. If you could just try? thanks a whole lot!
Also (to stay on topic a bit), the poodle machine feed doesn't have a sharp-camera-support ipk, i had to get one of a thread here somewhere...
Later:
Just tried the gpsd in the net feed, it still doesn't work with qpegps, but i can get correct numbers from it through telnet fine...tried zroadmap also, that gives the error "could not open the selected trip" on startup, and then promptly crashes...aargh.

I'd love to try a working package for gpe-nmf...

I did update to 3.5.3 with opie, step from 3.5.2 is very cool
I did try to install opie-mediaplayer2, but I could not find libxine1 library, it was a dependency, I did find only libxine,
so I did install libxine, and I did change dependecy in control file of opie-mediaplayer package from libxine1 -> libxine
seems that it's working
BUT when I play mp3 sound is not very good, it is disjoined, and some noise is in the sound :-(

There were some irritating bugs in the 2.6 kernel in the OZ 3.5.3 release. I've updated http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/ (http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/) with the current status of them. All the new bugs have been fixed and an upgraded kernel is available in http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/packages/ (http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/packages/) along with some extra modules (bluetooth).
You don't need to reflash the initrd again as updater.sh is able to update the kernel only (just put the zImage.bin and updater.sh file on the card without initrd.bin).

camera support in gpe? gphoto2? something along those lines?
-
upgraded:
- kdepimpi 2.1.0
- ipkg 0.99.148
added zbedic 0.9.4
to upgrade zbedic you need to remove older (20041227) version first!
-
shadymint: feed/interpreters/gawk_3.1.4-r1_arm.ipk - look in ALL feeds before asking..

upgraded:
- kdepimpi 2.1.0
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=75868\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Aargh!
I need new glasses or a new brain:
When testing 2.1.0 I did not notice the obvious edit dialog size problem in KO/Pi with 2.1.0.
I fixed it in 2.1.1.
It would be great, if you can update to that version.
I have left sources of version 2.0.23 -2.0.27 on SF.
Which one of these I can delete without causing problems in OE?
Thx,
z.
-
Upgraded:
- kdepimpi 2.1.1
@zautrix:
all 2.0.* can be deleted - stable version has higher priority
-
I have install KO/PI from upgrade feed. I get this error on installation:

Will do this as soon as I have time - in the mean time, there's gxine in the upgrades feed, which does a much better job, last I checked.
-
Upgraded:
- opie-wellenreiter 1.2.0-r1
This version will work with WE16 kernels (so all from OZ 3.5.3) - tested on my collie where it starts but I did not any scannig as there is no WiFi networks in neighbourhood ;(

I did try to install opie-mediaplayer2, but I could not find libxine1 library, it was a dependency, I did find only libxine,
so I did install libxine, and I did change dependecy in control file of opie-mediaplayer package from libxine1 -> libxine
I cannot find libxine1 or libxine. Also, if I found libxine, I wouldn't know how to change the control file of opie-mediaplayer...
Any help?
-
Added:
- libxine1 - empty package which depends on libxine package from upgrades
Please give feedback does it helps with libxine1<>libxine problem.

Works great!
I installed the opie-mediaplayer2-skins first. Then used the gui packaged manager to install opie-mediaplayer2... everything installed properly and it sounds very good with mp3s. I should note before someone thinks they have a problem, that the package manager showed a little linking error at:
*** Command: add
*** Locating package
Package "libxine1" not found.
Symbolic linking failed!
But it is linked (libxine) and works properly.
Thanks

To HRW:
in my C750 I added the feed ..../machine/c7x0, so I could upgrade the orinoco-modules and orinococ-modules-cs.
But after the upgrade, I see those modules:
1) are installed under /lib/modules/2.4.18..., while they should be installed under /lib/modules/2.6.11/
2) after manually copying them to /lib/modules/2.6.11/, modprobe can find the modules but there's an execution error, that looks while they weren't compiled for this kernel
Can you please review this, or should I post a bug report ?
To rpurdie
following your suggestion, I upgraded the kernel to the latest found at http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/packages/ (http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/packages/), and it seems it performed OK:
1) I have since lost the graphical startup with the nice half-face. Is there anything I can set to turn-it back?
2) Is there any package in the same feed that its mandatory to install with this new kernel? Or I just can install the modules I need by my hardware?
3) I'm learning to fast-type!!
Thanks both in advance.
-

Most stuff was compiled into the kernel, hence the lack of additional modules in the feed.

No, it's a kernel patch - looks like RP turned it off for his build.

Oh and I see there pysqlite 1.0 in the devel feed, would it be possible to consider adding pysqlite 2.0alpha4 ?

Added:
- python-pysqlite2-beta1

how 'bout adding http://www.zaurususergroup.com/feed/apache...2.3_0.1_arm.ipk (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/feed/apache-1.3.27-php-4.2.3_0.1_arm.ipk) compiled for OE 3.5. ?
-
This would need someone to fix our apache build file.
-
Is it possible to do a bt950_cs module for the 2.6.11 kernel? I have no idea how difficult it would be (so flame away if this is an unreasonable request/stuupid question) to make such a module, since it seems not to be part of the 2.6 'internal'/mainline kernels?
Thanks in advance (for either putting it in, or telling me it cannot be done, so I can quit searching )
Gr.
Hertog
-
hertog: looked into it.
bt950_cs does not compile with 2.6 kernels. From bluez-devel mailinglist I saw that that driver was too dirty to include in newer kernels. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/1243 (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/1243)
Other info: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/1923 (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/1923)
so maybe you can try btuart_cs or other BT pcmcia/CF driver.. Give info if you got it working.

Hi.
I think the upgrade for libqte2 for SL-C1000 (akita) is missing some dependencies (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/upgrades/libqte2_2.3.10-r15_akita.ipk).
It requires libts-0.0-0 >= 0.0cvs20050505, but this version doesn't seem to be available in the upgrades feed.
Any link for downloading it ?
Thanks in advance.
-
It is probably worth adding an up-to-date opie-reader to the upgrades now that (with a lot of help from the opie team) the CVS is up to date.
-
Added:
- opie-reader 1.2.0+cvs20050516
- tslib 0.0cvs20050505 - so now libqte2 should install OK on akita
-
removed opie-reader. will look later how to update it to working version - sorry guys

3) the original ones in orinoco-modules[|-cs]_0.13e-26-r1_c7x0.ipk work fine
Can you please review this, or should I post a bug report ?
-
orinoco-modules are available in two versions:
2.4.18: orinoco-modules*_0.13e
2.6.1x: orinoco-modules*_0.13e-26
naming is not best as ipkg takes 2.4 ones as newer...
-
HRW:
1) can then naming be changed, so ipkg upgrade doesn't upgrade my 2.6 to 2.4 modules ?
2) when installing 2.6 modules, they get installed in a wrong directory: they are installed in /lib/modules/.../net, while modprobe looks for them in /lib/modules/.../pcmcia; I had to move them to /lib/.../pcmcia and depmod -a to have them actually working
thanks
-
HRW:
It does not appear that the orinoco-modules have the monitor mode patch. Wellenreiter is giving an "Can't set 'eth0' into monitor mode: Operation not supported" errror; iwconfig eth0 mode Monitor says "invalid argument"; iwpriv does not show a monitor mode ioctl. I do not see the patch in any of the feeds, but I was also under the impression that monitor mode drivers would be standard issue for any new ROM...
I only know these concepts from exhaustive OE Forums and Google searches, so please be nice to me if I am completely off track here :-)
-
What about a tun module package for SL-C1000 (which is not available at the present time if I'm not wrong) ? That would help to use openvpn a great deal
Thanks in advance.

Could you add b0ti's Ratoc CFU1 drivers to the feed? Thanks
-
It's not urgent for me, because I just went back to Opie again, but the revision of sylpheed (r2)
shipped with 3.5.3 seems not to support SSL. 1.0.0 r4 is in openembedded.
So if you run out of things to do :-)
PS thanks for your efforts OZ team

Any chance of building fxconv (http://free.pages.at/uberger/zaurus/fxconv_en.html) for OZ? It installs fine, but doesn't work correctly under OZ 3.5.2 or 3.5.3 (Opie) due to softfloat incompatabilities.

- collie kernels again - this time with one more APM fix
now suspend/resume work, machine does not hang when right-arrow or menu is hold
Kernel files are named zImage-collie-MEM-RAMDISK-r21.bin and should work with checkversion script (sorry for that with earlier kernel upgrade).

On further investigation, the latest vulnerability does not affect earlier versions of the library, e.g. 1.1.2 and 1.1.4. However, according to the [a href=\"http://www.zlib.net]zlib homepage[/url] older versions have their own vulnerabilities, and the upgrade path is clear.
In answer to your question, Si, you can get the Debian ARM binaries or sources from this link (http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=arm&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fz%2Fzlib%2Fzlib1g_1.2.2-8_arm.deb&md5sum=301944e83226531d89cdae58528bdc2b&arch=arm&type=main). From the looks of things, each distribution made their own fix to zlib...Knowing what I do about Debian, if that is the case, the fix was pushed back upstream.

This statement is misleading. Debians ARM repository is perfectly compatible with OZ, you can run the entire debian repository using pocketworkstation <http://pocketworkstation.org> in a chrooted environment.
I use pocketworkstation for my computing needs as i need a X environment, and GPE is too buggy and flaky, so i just use pocketworkstation, oz is just a bootloader for me.

It is not misleading, it is the simple truth, debian/ARM uses hardfloat which you can't mix and match with softfloat. That it works out in your situation is a matter of luck.
Since you state gpe is so buggy, I assume you have filed bugs in the gpe bugzilla (http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/) for the bugs you found?

I dont think it is due to luck, as you can see pocketworkstation runs in a chroot environment, thus it uses its own libraries libc etc, which is probably why it avoids this softfloat incompatibility.
About GPE being buggy, well most of the bugs that i have discovered are showstoppers like the login anomaly, apm being disabled ie:the suspend resume bug(not specific to gpe i admit), generalised instability, inability to control the birghtness reliably on my 5500 (OPIE does it perfectly) and because these are major bugs they have already being submitted by some kind fork, thus i dont see any need to duplicate the bug postings.
IMHO if you want to run X based applications, then the best ROM is pdaxrom, the next choice is to run debians ARM based distribution in a chroot environment using pocketworkstation, you can have most desktop software including mozilla too running on your pda this way :-). GPE has come a long way from the almost demo releases sometime back, but still has a lot to go to get to at least the pdaxrom quality.

SL5600/Poodle OZ3.5.3: LAN/network issue
(first off) I am seeing the power on/off issue a lot now too, and this might be a showstopper for me using my 'new' poodle. Before it seemed to work OK with OZ3.5.3 but it might have been after messing with the CF card that it stopped working correctly...
Anyway I'm wonderring, I'm using OZ 3.5.3 and the SanDisk ConnectPlus 128MB WiFi card. It recognizes fine and starts up fine. I can even ssh to my poodle from my lan machines. However, when I try to connect out (whether using opie-package manager, opie-konqueror, telnet, ssh) of my LAN it just hangs.
So, obvious problem solution here... I have my default route set up wrong? I used DHCP, and other machines on the LAN work just fine! What's even worse is that when the net hangs in an opie app, it tends to hang Opie completely, requiring a ssh in to kill, or a warm reboot. Usually I have to end up rebooting the machine.
Now here's the interesting issue - I can PING and TRACEROUTE to machines outside of my LAN but cannot telnet, http, ftp to them!
And this too: If I fidget with ifconfig/route, setting it up and down, sometimes I can get it to work fine(!) The things I do I cannot explain as they are the commands I normally use to setup a connection.
So I'm thinking perhaps I'm missing something with the kernel dealing with TCP packets. Anyone seen this issue before? I'm beginning to think it's a kernel bug. I'd like to figure out how to download the kernel source and try to patch in the 'collie' apm fix but no idea where/how to get the trees, and my machine's not fully setup for crosscompile yet (gentoo...)
-
eccerr0r: I can provide you poodle kernel with fixes from collie for test. PM me if you want it.
OOps.. I have to look more into problem - sorry.
good news: ported APM fix - right-arrow fix left to port

Ok, I now have bitbake working and have a checkout of the kernel source. I tried building a kernel and it seems to have completed, haven't actually tried running the resultant kernel yet. I havent figured out how to get mono to checkout different tags yet, that will be my next step...
About that tcp/ip issue that I'm having, it seems if I let it sit there for a while, it will also "self heal" and start working? odd. very odd... Both usbd0 and wlan0 have the same issue. Could it be because of bad hardware (and I may need to have the cache disable patch? is that default off on stock kernels?)

Hi,
I'm looking for an upgrade of the 'aircrack' package

Ok. Here's my attempt at a patch versus the repository openzaurus-pxa-2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-r41 ...
I haven't tested it yet, it's late. and I'm not really a developer, but I've written lots of code in the past...
zImage of my attempt at backporting (http://q.dyndns.org/~blc/zaurus/zImage-apm-poodle-eccerr0r)
I based the patch off of what was in the collie r22 directory. Luckily the structure of the files look very similar so I just made it. It compiles, that's about all I can say at this point.
I'll try my hack sometime tomorrow if I have time, anyone else willing to try before then, it's there with no warranty. The stuff I did to patch sharpsl_apm.c (http://q.dyndns.org/~blc/zaurus/patch_poodle_apm.txt) is there too, it should look fairly similar to the patch in collie-r22.
This only is an attempt to fix the suspend issue, but not the right arrow/button issue. I can live with the right arrow problem (I dont play games on my poodle), but having broken power management, that is just not a PDA!
(Delete this post if some more official patch is available, this is just stopgap...)

Hi Hrw,
Thanks again for your good work !!! Is there any chance of having lirc package working in OZ ? I have been trying to make opie-remote working for ages with the package from http://www.purple.dropbear.id.au/downloads/zaurus/lirc/ (http://www.purple.dropbear.id.au/downloads/zaurus/lirc/) but it can't manage to make it working as it should...
Thanks in advance for your answer

I'd love to try a working package for gpe-nmf...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=75731\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Will do this as soon as I have time - in the mean time, there's gxine in the upgrades feed, which does a much better job, last I checked.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77087\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I just installed gxine from the feed "3.5.3 upgrades" onto my Collie 5500.
MP3 playback works (albeit with some problems - see below).
I had following problems:
* GPE is auto-logged in as an user and gxine would not play any audio, because by default /dev/sndstat, /dev/audio* belong to root and have permissions 660. Needs to be fixed in /etc/device_table and rebooted.
* No video playback (mpeg1) out of the box (audio plays fine). And no prompt about this, just the blank screen. May be gxine needs some special packages for the video playback... I saw there is dxr3 xine vo, is it applicable on Zaurus?
* Attempt to playback ogg resulted in "Segmentation Fault"
One more thing that is not clear to me: all the modules for gxines are small, IMHO all of them can be packaged into single package (even the gxine itself). Some of them will not be used, but it would ease life for many users (the only thing that matters at the end of the day).

Wrong thread - this is not a bug-tracking thread, it's thread in which you can request a given package to be built from OE and added to the feed.
This post should be in the bug tracking thread for 3.5.3.
If I could work out how, I would move it there myself.

Ok, I have a request for this thread as well:
I see that package at is not packaged in any of the OZ feeds, only atd is. And without "at" it is useless.
Can "at" be packaged as well please?
Regarding the gxine, can you point me to the proper thread, so as I would repost the bugreport there?

Though you'd be better off flashing one of the RC builds and adding it as a bug to the bugtracker: http://bugs.openembedded.org (http://bugs.openembedded.org) as 3.5.3 is old now.

Two months passed, we have OZ 3.5.4 really soon (thx to test program) but I will push one nice update for all of 2.4 kernel users:
fixed apm which allow to suspend also from non-root users.

More specifically those using GPE, so as non root user... users of OPIE souldn't have noticed a problem.
Thx for the correction.

updated:
- apm 3.2.2-r6
this release fix all users (especially those which do not use root account) problem with suspend/resume. If any of you had a problem like Zaurus suspends but not resume then this version will fix it.
3.5.4-rc1 users should also install it. Same for 3.5.4 "Hrw test images" users.
I hope that most of you will find this fix usefull :)

I just tried the upgraded apm on my 5600 and apm crashes during suspend. Here is the output from logread: [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
This has beed submitted to the Oe bugtracker as bug #634
I hope this helps track down the problem.

I upgraded my poodle running 3.5.4-test image & still the same - OPIE seems to lock when I hold down the cancel button to try to suspend. Does anybody else experience this? I'll search the buglist & see if it's there already. thks

Same here . Note that it's OPIE itself that's freezing; I can still ssh in & then reset opie.

Does it happen the same if you issue "apm -s" as root or non-root ? I think it may be unrelated to the fix correction in apmd....

Yes it does. I'm downgrading 'cause I can't seem to suspend at all anymore.

The problem seems to be that you need to upgrade both apm and apmd. I can now suspend and resume. Unfortunately, the usb network does not come back after suspend. It seems like the apm-proxy script is not being run.
In order to get the update to work, the old apm and apmd should be removed first.

I've played around with this some more. For me, if I remove the rc2 versions of both apm & apmd & then reinstall the new r6 versions, I can no longer suspend at all. I didn't wait until the auto- suspend would have kicked in to test that. My problem is that my Z tends to lock up quite a bit after a suspend & I was hoping that the update would fix that.
Most interestingly, however, is what happened when I went to restore the old versions. Since upgrading to the 3.5.4*'s I haven't been able to suspend my Z by holding down the cancel button. I would have to either use the menu suspend or run a script with 'apm-s'. Not a biggy. But after I removed the new apm* packages & realized that I'd need to disable the feeds to downgrade (no matter what I do it keeps on trying to download & install the newer versions) I decided to wait until later @ home when I had more time. So here I am, stuck without apm installed, so how would I turn the Z off. Lo and behold, the cancel button now works to suspend & it comes back up just fine.
Now I know this isn't a solution 'cause my Z will never power off on it's own without apmd, but does that give us a clue as to what the problem with apm is?

(snip - removing apm altogether)

I've been running without apm or apmd for the last couple days, just to see if opie would lock up on me at all. It's been nice to be able to use the cancel to suspend. But alas, while the problem hasn't been as bad, I have recieved lockups. So I guess I reinstall apm* (v2 not the new v6).
Do any other poodle users have the same problems? (opie frequently locking up, can't suspend using the cancel button). Maybe it's something else I've installed. thks

I have been running HRW's test image with the v6 apm and apmd and it has been working well. I don't use the automatic suspend feature ( I have it se to blank the LCD ).

And you don't experience any of the problems I described? Can you suspend by holding down the cancel button? Does your unit lock up at all (i.e. requiring a hard reset)?

I've uninstalled apmd entirely. The Z powers off by itself, but of course apmd is what wakes it up for an alarm. This is workable, but if anybody has any suggestions on what I can do for a solution to get it working, I'm open.
Attached a list of all of my installed packages (less the default kernel modules). Anything that obviously would be the culprit?
