I will consider building the jumbo package if there is sufficient interest
-
Simplifying installation of multiple packages is always a Good Thing, IMO.
-
While I think it's been a great (and sometimes painful..) learning experience to install things manually, as sriley says it's probably good to have another choice for those that can't install by themselves...

Meanie, I say 'build it and they will come.' OK, I may not have been the first to say it. The easier it is for newbies to take advantage of the hardware features and available software options for the Zaurus the more people it will attract and that would be great.
-
I Think it's good idea ..
Oncle-Dave.
-
a package would really help us newbies. specially those of us afraid of bricking the new expensive toys and being too dumb to fix them. I'm still a bit of a chicken to do the more extensive software mods..
-
Please do. I keep meaning to install this but haven't gotten around to assembling all the packages.
-
well ok, seems like lots of people want it, so I am going to do it once I get back from Brisbane (going tomorrow)
However, I need some volunteers to be guinea pigs/testers Anyone feel lucky enough?
Also, once the package has been tested successfully, I will need a place to host it as well...
-
If it's possible , i want to be a Beta Tester

I'd test it, too.

It would be fantastic if you could simplify the x/qt pocketworkstation installation. I would be more than happy to help out if I could.
-
Consider me in (btw: this is the same person that emailed you via your on.net addy...)
-
I am back home and have build the jumbo package. It's 15 MB in size.
osx4zaurus has offered to host the file so I will be sending him the package first for him to put up on his site. Then a few of you will receive the secret link to the beta package for testing.
Once it is tested and xqt can be installed successfully with this package (and all the install bugs have been eliminated) the link will be made known to everyone.
-
Meanie,
I would test it to.
Best regards
cmpayc (@mail.ru)

Some of you will have private messages with a link to the jumbo package for beta testing if you are still interested in testing. hopefully it will be a very smooth and pleasant experience (albeit very slow and long one since there are lots of files being installed)
-
which packages it is made up of. are you compiling stuff or picking them up from the xqt feed. if you afre compiling then could you include a package for gaim please....

Meanie,
In case you need another tester. It is time I start doing something useful with the C3000, thus consider me available.

So far the test has been very positive so I expect to be able to release the package really soon.
I have repackaged firefox as well in a QT friendly way so in theory, anyone with sharp/cacko rom should be able to install xqt jumbo package and firefox (provided they have sufficient space)
any volunteers to test this? should also work with c1000, c860, etc...

I just repackaged and combined files from the two xqt feeds and pdaxrom feed so once this package is installed, you got X/Qt and GTK installed with the target being able to install and run Mozilla Firefox and Debian PocketWorkstation.
You should be able to install gaim quite easily, although there are a lot of packages for gaim just like Xqt. Maybe an optional jumbo gaim package would be a good idea to supplement the xqt jumbo package.
-

I'll test. I have a c1000.

great check your pm.

Here are my experiences with the package. I initially tried it on the older stock sharp rom and installation finished. It did report the "this package seems to depend on other packages, please install them" message. I then installed a version of firefox from pdaxrom. X worked, but firefox started the "select a new user" dialog and insisted that the "default" user was already in use. Creating a new user failed because of file permissions. I then started an xterm (NICE!) and su to root and ran firefox. It ran find as root. Eventually I ran into a problem where the screen would not respond to input and rebooted. After this I got the hd1 error and zaurus would not boot. I booted to single user mode, reformatted hd1 and reinstalled hd1 from a tar backup. I then upgraded to the newest sharp stock kernel. I left the machine in stock japanese and installed the packages. Same problem at startup with firefox. Another file permission problem causes the startx icon to fail after the first shutdown of X - the authority files from the old session are not cleared and can't be over written so X won't restart. You can force a restart from a shell. With the new rom I experienced no problems except those related to file permissions.
On another note - does anyone have an idea what the speed difference between running X/Qt and native X (say pdaxrom) is? I also noticed that firefox refused to do downloads because "not enough memory available"
The package is almost ready - just some file permission changes and maybe inclusion of a few other X apps and possibly matchbox? Thanks Meanie!!

Hi Meanie,
Do you need anymore C3000 testers?
-
I think the xqt jumbo package is working nicely now for the C3000 model. firefox has a few issues but they are not xqt related.
I also have 1 tester for a c860 and the results look promising for that too so it looks like the package will be fine for c3000/c1000/c860. other models might work, but will need keyboard remappings.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to move this thread over to the X/qt section or do I need to create a new thread there?

Hi Meanie,
When do you plan to make the package public? I just had to reset my Cacko3Kb1 installation and would be happy to have XQt installed so easily.

Hi Meanie,
Well, like asola, I am ready to try your jumbo package as something is not working now with my X/Qt/Debian setup....
I tried out QuantumSTEP on my Z and it works but I think it must have changed something. Now, X/Qt/Debian is not working when I try to start it up...
So either I try your jumbo package or will need to do manual install again....
However, one question for you please....
I installed X/Qt/Debian to my microdrive on my C3000 instead of using a external storage card. Can I do this with your jumbo package??
Thanks!
Mark

The jumbo package only installs X/Qt. The debian package is next if I have time.
For your problem, you should only need to reinstall the debian-startscripts. Quantumsteps overwrote your .xinitrc file.
-
Thanks as always for your help, Meanie!
Will try reinstalling the debian-startscripts....
*** If I do try installing your jumbo package can I install it to my internal drive or only to external storage card like SD or CF ???

The jumbo package install to internal drive without any problems at all. Not sure whether it installs to sd/cf, never tried it myself.
so far it has been tested successfully on c3000 and c860. still having problems on c1000

Thanks for clarifying, Meanie!

Hi Meanie,
Well....things have not gone as well as I'd hoped regarding getting X/Qt/Debian reinstalled using your jumbo package....
Have noticed a few strange things...wonder what you think is going on...here's what I did:
1) Deinstalled my previous installation
2) Installed your jumbo package, like others got error message that 'install depended upon some other items...'.
3) Noticed that I have 'Pocket Workstation(Debian)' icon and 'StartX' icon but no 'X Server' icon like in previous manual installation.
Is this supposed to be that way??
4) Followed your website Debian install instructions and installed your 'Debian startup scripts'. However, when I click PocketWorkstation icon, it only gets as far as the X 'rxvt window opening....no Debian/iceWM opens up.
I tried typing in that window:
$xlauncher debian
$
qtApInit
Display size = 480x640
could not open translation file /home/QtPalmtop//i18n/ja_JP.eucJP/libsl.qmid
qtRandRRotate(270)
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeALLCOTSServerListener: server already running
Fatal Server Error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
failed to set locale, reverting to "C"
rxvt: Setting locale failed.
BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server.
another window manager is already running on display :0.0.
Blackbox::Blackbox: no manageable screens found, aborting
waiting for X server to shut down
Wondering if I need to install XServer manually??
Also, do I need to install Blackbox manually??
What do you suggest??
Thanks for your help!

I still havent figured about which library is complaining about the dependencies but the library complaining is definately not needed so I just need to remove it from the package once I find which the offending library is.
I moved the X Server icon to the Settings Tab
The jumbo package includes the debian startup scripts so installing that package just overwrote it with the same files I hope
Make sure you were using the 0.3 version of the debian startup scripts (which is the same as the one in the jumbo package) It looks like you may have installed an older version (0.2) of the debian startup scripts. If that is the case, simply uninstall the debian scripts and put the newer 0.3 debian-startup scripts in.
The other errors you got were because you tried to run X from within X. xlauncher should only be run from outside the X environment. I should add a check to it and make sure it only runs when its not in X.

Thanks for your reply, Meanie!
Yes, I see the X Server icon now in the Settings Tab
I checked and I did use the '0.3' version of the debian startup scripts...
I had a feeling that I wasn't supposed to run X from within X....
Hmmm....so what do you suggest now???
Should I try going through all your steps in your Debian instructions again??
If so, what should I do if anything, before doing that??
Or????
Also, remembered one more strange thing....now I can't turn off my C3000 with the On/Off button!!
Don't know if this has to do with installing jumbo package or de-installing previous X/Qt/Debian install or QuantumSTEP or ???..... In fact, after I click the On/Off button, Z freezes up now....then have to reset Z and reboot....
Thanks for any help.

The on/off problem may be due to the sudo package which kills the Advanced Power Management on the Zaurus. See the thread about it, it is recent.
-
Thanks for the tip about the sudo package, asola!
Will check out that post....would be nice to be able to turn off my Z again....

Hi Meanie,
Thanks for helping us with this jumbo package as well as the informative site. I am rather new to Linux, and have been having some problems with the installation of X/QT on my C3K. Any chance of getting a hold of the Jumbo Package to see if that might work? Thanks in advance for your help.
-
hmmm no updates? dang getting 3100 sooon, they should arrive fairly quick. The x/qt+debian install will definately be my first go, then firefox/thunderbird/openoffice. I'm so excited I cant stand myself.

- Last bit wrt the C1000 was "troubles". Any news? (grin)

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=86246\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I was testing the C1k jumbo install, and was able to get around the 'troubles'. You need ~30M flash free in order to install. Pango was also failing a dependency check (libexpat.so.0), but that wasn't critical to getting the X environment up. I believe meanie was going to fix that anyway.
The firefox bundle installed fine, but didn't start for me (waited over 7 min. for it to start before giving up).

Does the jumbo pack run on Cacko 12.3b1 on a 3k? If yes where can I get it?

Same Here, I would love to get my hands on the jumbo pack if it runs on the 3k with cacko rom.

Yes, jumboxqt runs on C3K with Cacko3Kb1.23...

The package is now in its 0.6 revision and I have been able to get more pdaXrom applications to work with it. So far I have successfully tested it with Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Abiword and Ethereal and apps from the X/Qt feeds like dillo and sylpheed naturally work as well.
Also, many people have been helping me test as well and we have it working on the following models:
C3000
C1000
C3100
C860

thx for the work Meanie and all the testers
-
I'd like to try out this package also. How do I get it?
Thanks.
-
Ditto for me too. What's the secret link?
-
The link is secret. If I told everyone, then it wouldn't be a secret link anymore. My site is very slow (slow ADSL uplink) and running on a 16 MB Libretto so it can't handle the load.
Please be patient for a while longer. With luck, I will have the files transferred to OESF very soon and then everyone can get it.

Well, the testing phase has come to a successful completion, which means the jumbo packages are now ready to be released as soon as I can move them to a home with lots of bandwidth.
X/Qt jumbo pack:
- xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm.ipk (15MB)
Mozilla Firefox:
- firefox_0.9-2_arm.ipk (7MB)
Debian Pocketworkstation + OpenOffice:
- xqt-debian-install.zip (2k)
- zaurus-debian-jumbo-v18-b01.tar.gz (95MB)
- zaurus-debian-doc-v18.tar.gz (13MB)
- zaurus-debian-openoffice114.tar.gz (80MB)
Anyway, I am off to catch a plane...
-
bummer, wanted the deb-install zip.....
-
Awesome!
Looking forward to trying it.
What is Debian Pocketworkstation, though? (Newbie alert. I do know all about X and OO,
though. :>)
thanks,

- Me three!! (drool)
- Given my not-so-puffy experience this weekend with flashing, I'm a LOT more interested in this Jumbo X/Qt thing that before! I was interested then, but now it looks like the only potentially viable X game in town for the C1000. A paltry 213MB will more of an issue at installation time than download, once it's up. (expectant hand-wringing) Yehsss massterr...
-
I guess my PM didn't make it to you, but I can host the files, if you want. Not sure if the PM thing works, but try to PM me anyway and we can hopefully work out the details....

I updated the debian install script so now it can install my customised debian tarball and openoffice and/or setup debian using the default zaurus-debian-big-v0.18.tgz tarball. It will automate the steps described on my website including creating startd file so all you need to do is place zaurus-debian-big-v0.18.tgz and xqt-debian-install.sh in the same directory and run the script
Of course you need to install X/Qt first
The script can be found here:
http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/ (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/)
The other files will be available soon I hope.
Anyway, I wasted enough time on this already, better continue working on writing some useful application and finishing my novel.

Just like maystorm said, for all of us Zaurusterati out there, your excellent work and website has been a lifesaver!!
Thanks so much for all you've done for everyone! It is greatly appreciated!

Anyway, I wasted enough time on this already, better continue working on writing some useful application and finishing my novel.

This all sounds incredibly impressive, dare I ask how well it works on a C1000? Can it be installed to an SD card?
Is there a link for it yet? I had a little look in the ELSI, but it didn't pop up there.
BTW, what's your novel about?

[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div] (http://index.php?act=findpost&pid=88704\")
The xqt jumbo package works well on the C1000 and debian will need to be installed on either a sd or cf card due to the lack of internal disk but it will work.
The install script defaults to installing to /hdd3 but you can easily tell it to install to sd instead.
all you need is a ext2 formatted sd card with at least 512MB
[a href=\"http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html]http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html[/url]

the xqt jumbo package uses the standard ipk installation and uninstallation mechanism. should simply uninstall like any other package. it may leave behind a few symlinks but they won't hurt reinstallation. the postinstall script does check for invalid links and deals with them.
as for debian, its just a matter of rm pocketworkstation or rm -r /hdd3/debroot

you better get your butt in 6th gear buddy cuz i been waiting for something like this to come for a long time.
my beef was running an x environment or another rom image that would break my current setup, hardware compatability and usability. Now with this option i can run real linux softwares!!!! best off.....newbie friendly.
you just made me drop a load full.

Am so excited about trying this, but am having probs downloading the files, I seem to get about about 10/15mb of the larger files and then it falls over :-( And as I'm on a company lan, I can't install any download managers. It might be my connection, but usually it's pretty good.

Yep. I uploaded the additional files this morning.
I see that some people are having some transfer issues. I'm not sure if it's related to the site or something else. FWIW, I just downloaded the 13Mb doc file no problem (< 5 min) from here at work.

Thanks for all the hardwork.
I had problems downloading this morning. Just kept trying and finally was able to download a few at a time.
Now installing.
-
Jumbo XQ/T package was installed no problems on my C3000 running Cacko3kb1.
It takes about 45 min. The pocket workstation I was not so lucky at. I got some kind of error messages like no such file. Continued to install then finished.
When I click on the Debian Icon. It opens X and appears like it is going to run but then just closes and nothing happens. Nothing happens if I run from terminal window either.
Anyone else having this problem? How to solve. I tried to reinstall again but it ran through the setup super fast and said finished. But still no cigar.
Thanks for your help.

First, let me say thanks to Meanie for all his hard work in getting this packaged; the X/QT package installed without a hitch on my c1000.
The debian jumbo package installed without an error with the script Meanie wrote.
There seems to be a problem launching debian though. The PocketWorkstation icon in the X/QT tab, when clicked, launches X/QT with blackbox, but debian and ICEWM doesn't appear. The same happens when xlauncher debian is input from the terminal.
It became clear to me that debian wasn't running when I tried to start IceWM and it complained about a library.
I'll try the installation with another pocketworkstation package to see if the problem is solved.

I found the problem. The debian install script forgets to update xlauncher script if not installing to default location which is /hdd3/debroot
The next updated install script (v0.3.5) should fix that.
In the meantime, you can edit /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/xlauncher and change the variables under the default settings section.
You probably want to change DEBIMG. Don't worry about the openoffice stuff, that is being handled automatically already

Yes it shows error messages like you said.
I will remove, and reinstall the debian file from the web. Perhaps with the heavy traffic I

Could I also download from somewhere else? Or should I continue to download it from the site on this thread?

Ok, downloaded debian file again and reinstalled.
Worked perfectly. Thanks meanie for all your hardwork. It looks awesome. I payed around with your instructions before the jumbo pack and I know how much time it takes to install and reinstall - and still not get it to work. So thanks again, you have done all of us newbies a GREAT HELP.
Thanks chuckster for your fast reply as well.

....never mind
but i do have one thing...it asks to install a file that i dont know which one i need.
missing lib or something. fresh install on c1000

hi guys
i installed xqt and it installed flawlessley but when i look into the xlauncher file in the bin, it says to look for files in hdd3 but i am force installing into the card which is the /mnt/card
is there anything wrong with this picture? i am a c1000 user.
when in installed the debian, the first time, it could not create simlink so i edited the installer sh file and replaced all /hdd3 with /mnt/card and it installed flawlessly with no errors but i still cant launch it from xlauncher or anything. any ideas?
one last thing
after installing the xqt, it was reffering to a file which i did not have and asked me to please install them. this is on a zaurus c1000 fresh. nothing installed.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=88987\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
there is a post earlier describing the change required for xlauncher.
this is going to be fixed with an updated install script as well.
what file did it refer to?
-
lib something .so
i cant remember and i cant replicate it.
here we go..
i launched xlauncher and typed abiword
it asks for shared libraries libconv.so.2

http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jum...ian-install.zip (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqt-debian-install.zip)
this one will allow you to install to other location (without needing you to edit the script and it will also update xlauncher)

This is great, Meanie!
Also, thanks to Chuckster for hosting the files!
However, first time I downloaded the 'debian-jumbo-v18-b01' file it was 149MB in size. Then redownloaded it and it is 166MB in size. Did the check on the file and got some error messages..
Would be great to know how large the downloaded file should be?
Thanks,

The page does have the sizes of the packages (just to the right of the download link.) Here they are for reference:
xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm.zip 14.8Mb
xqt-debian-install.zip 2.2K

zaurus-debian-openoffice114.tar.gz 77.7Mb
firefox_0.9-2_arm.zip 7.1Mb
It sounds like your browser was trying to uncompress the file as it downloaded since you got more than 94.5Mb. You might try using "wget" (either from Linux or the Cygwin version for Windows) to download the files. I've had more success in the past downloading large files with it than using a browser...

Thanks for the info, chuckster!
Actually, I went ahead and downloaded debian-jumbo file again this morning. This time it downloaded as a 94.5MB file!... go figure....
FWIW, I'm using Safari as browser on my desktop Mac....
Thanks again for hosting files!

Hi
I installed xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm.ipk
The zaurus seemed to hang, so after 10 mins I rebooted it, the XQT is there and seems to work, but I'm afraid I messed it up and didn't want to move on straight away.
I'm on a C1000. I wanted to install this to the SD, but that didn't work, so then tried to internal memory.
Any and all advice gratefully received.
-
takes about 40 minutes to install...disable all screensaver and suspend.

I hightly doubt that you can install some 40M or 90M or whatever size it was in internal memory, unless you have nothing else installed.

I am attempting that option as we speak.
I spent the whole night installing and learning a few things about this software. I started fresh and now am attempting to reinstall something that takes me around 24 hours to configure and then i will see if i can fit xqt into my main memory with all my softwares installed.I have 8 hours so far of installing software on my default zaurus---and a few more left to go. After i am done installing as much as i can to the sd, i will see if i can squeeze xqt into main memory with a couple of softwares. Then i will tell you if i can do it. I dont know about the rest of you guys!

After re-downloading debian file it installed OK and Debian/IceWM opens and looks great!
Thanks Meanie!
Meanwhile, I wanted to update Debian using apt-get...but have had problem so far...
First, I connected to internet using Qtopia/Network along with my Socket ethernet card.
Tested that I could get online by using NetFront browser. Can surf OK...
Second, in Debian/eterm window, did 'apt-get update'...got the following messages:

Never had a poodle before so not sure how much different it is, but it seems like all the binaries installed successfully, however, the postinstall script failed due to things being in different locations.
you might need to edit the scripts and rerun them, in particular xqtliblinks which creates all the required symlinks
xqtliblinks assumes all the libraries have been installed to /opt/QtPalmtop/lib (which is a symlink itself on my Spitz)
and creates additional symlinks for each of the installed libraries.
since i do not have ipkg-link i do not know exactly what it does, but i assume it relinks everything in /opt/QtPalmtop/lib to the location on your SD card?
if that's so then simply rerunning xqtliblinks might just fix it for you, but if not, then you might have to update xqtliblinks manually to make it link to the right location for your poodle.
good luck

It's resolv.conf that's causing you grief. Depending on your network settings, it might get updated each time you connect to the net. But Debian has a copy of resolv.conf at when you installed (I guess you weren't connected to the net at that point)
need to copy /etc/resolv.conf to .../debroot/etc/resolv.conf each time your network settings change
i'll look into binding that file so it just uses the same copy of resolv.conf
-
Thanks, Meanie. That makes sense...
However, just tried to copy file like you suggest and now keyboard is not working right all of a sudden...when I try to type in characters using the C3K keyboard nothing happens.... ....very strange!
Also, noticed that Perseus posted earlier today about keyboard issues too....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

My objective is to get Firefox and Thunderbird running on my C1000.
Sorry to be dumb with this but I have installed the X/Qt jumbo package to Internal Memory on my C1000. It appears as installed in Package Manager but there is no X/Qt tab.
I have tried rebooting but it makes no difference.
I have not installed any of the Debian packages.
Should I be doing something else?
-
Hi there,
I seem to have X/QT working fine on my C1000 despite the earlier hiccup. So am happy that I've gotten that far. Meanie's great site is C3000 centric and having a C1000 and an SD card, am not 100% sure what to change, this has always been the part of linux that scares me!
-
At least you have it working.
I got the error message “This package seems to depend on other packages. Please install them too.â€
Did you install anything else apart from the X/Qt jumbo package, I wonder?
-
Abiword not working on a C3000
I have installed everything and firefox is working fine (after running it as a root couple of times).
But I tried installing abiword.
There was a message complaining about missing dependencies.
When I launch it complains about missing libraries.
I installed the one from PDAXROM that is mentioned on
http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html)
Any ideas how to fix?
-
I got the same message too. It sure would be nice if the installer would tell you what those dependencies were, right?
I don't know if this is one of the dependencies for X/Qt jumbo, but one that I found for the Debian/Pocketworkstation install which I didn't have was the sudo package.
At least you have it working.

Archi Mark,
The keyboard not working is a result of pressing one of the shift keys (right I think) plus the / key. I tried every key plus the / key to get it working. And my keyboard stopped working. It came back on its own after a while and or a reboot.
However, the / key still does not work. All I get is the letter d when I type / key.
The wireless can be solved if you remove debian (per instructions by meanie on this thread) or doing option 3 then 1 in the ok menu. I had a similar problem. Reinstalled and the internet connection is working again.
Still having problems with the keyboard. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
-
Thanks for the info, Perseus!
Yes, same thing happened to me regarding the keys/keyboard issue...very strange...and like you I have not been able to figure out how to type a '/'...makes like difficult!
Must be a keymapping issue with that 'xmodmap' (or something like that...) file???
Like you would like to get the keyboard situation straightened out....
Will try what you say about the wireless situation...
Thanks,
Mark

I have tried to install this package several times now and the error messages alternate between “This package seems to depend on other packages. Please install them too.†and “The extract of some files are failed. The application may not execute normally. When you cannot operate the application please remove itâ€.
There is 17mb remaining in Internal Flash so that is ok.
I suspect the two error messages are somehow related, hopefully this can be easily rectified.

I had a lot more internal flash space when I installed the X/QT package. I think I have 35mb of flash memory free and after installing it.
I just have no idea how to get anything else working on a C1000 with a 1gb sd card for storage, any and all help gratefully received.

Reinstalled Debian once again, but this time was connected to internet.
Now, apt-get works great!
Onward with other testing...

Hey there,
I put in an SD card in my C1000 and formatted it to ext2
created a debroot
I then changed the install script for debian to point to that as /mnt/card where ever it asked for /hdd3
Debian and pocket workstation and the swapfile all installed pretty much fine.
Yeay! I was thinking.
Hitting the pocket workstation icon first called up X/QT and the plain old xterm.
Then I thought maybe it needs root privileges. So I gave it those. Now it doesn't open at all, just hangs with the flared icon.
Guess I've done something very wrong :-(
Anyone able to hint/help?
-
Hi just small suggestion
I was able to muddle Debian Jumbo Package installation :)
I'm not sure but maybe by insufficient memory on hdd3.
It has made loops as big as posible but not enaugh to make openoffice work properly.
Pocket Workstation seems to work fine.
#df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop0 285367 285366 0 100% /hdd3/debroot
/dev/loop2 183264 183264 0 100% /hdd3 /debroot /home /zaurus /OpenOffice.org1.1.4
(I didn't modified install script)
Do you have your loops in same size as me?
-
Hi, I formatted the SD card again and tried again and this time ran the whole things again from the kterm on the C1000 rather than from within the x/qt
I was as su -
This is what the xlauncher debian said:

-- Debian chroot is /mnt/card/debroot
-- SD card is mounted - enabling it for Debian

And again all that happened was that X/QT opened, displayed the xterm and stopped there.
Not to muddy the waters too much, but is it possible that the problem lies with X/QT on my C1000? I installed it and the system hung and when I rebooted X/QT was there and opened so I assumed it installed fine.
Or maybe I've missed a configurational step.

I seem to be making some progress now. I have also installed xqt-debian-scripts_0.4_arm.ipk and xqt-libXrender_1.2.2_arm.ipk in addition to xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm.ipk. The Tab X/Qt together with placeholder icons now appears and I have installed the packages firefox_0.9-2_arm.ipk and thunderbird_0.6_armv5tel.ipk.
All the packages have gone to Internal Storage and all give me the error messages “This package seems to depend on other packages. Please install them too.†and “The extract of some files are failed. The application may not execute normally. When you cannot operate the application please remove itâ€.
Tapping the StartX icon does not seem to do very much and neither Firefox nor Thunderbird run, despite rebooting.
No matter, this is better than before and any input or suggestions would be very welcome.

I've located the problem on my 860.
I had the same behavior, basically XQt would start as if without the "debian" option.
The reason for me is these lines in .xinitrc:
# check debian location
if [ -f /etc/debroot ]; then
DEBROOT=`cat /etc/debroot`
if [ "$DEBROOT" != "" ] && [ -d $DEBROOT ]; then
DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep $DEBROOT`
else
DEBIAN=""
fi
else
DEBROOT=NODEBIAN
DEBIAN=""
fi
Specifically the line: DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep $DEBROOT`
Since I installed it to /mnt/card/debroot all goes well, however when you look at "mount | grep debroot" you'll see that in the running processes list the card is actually reffered to as /usr/mnt.rom/card and not /mnt/card
And that's the problem.
After I changed the line to DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep /usr/mnt.rom/card/debroot`
all's fine in my case...

the install only hangs if your Z goes into powersave/suspend mode because it takes quit a time (according to some 45 minutes) so it is most likely that your x/qt install never successfully installed so you most likely only have a partial install.

Those packages (xqt-debian-scripts and xqt-libXrender) are included with the jumbo package alrready which means your installation was not completed successful and lots of files are still missing. Check that you have enough space for all the files and try reinstalling. Firefox and Thunderbird are not installed by default with the jumbo package. The jumbo merely enables them to be installed without problems and add the icons for you because those packages do not come with their own Qt desktop icons. Look at the taskbar. It will tell you that they are not installed yet until you actually install them. Same is true for all the other icons.

I've noticed that too and fixed it already and I will upload the fix tonite when I get home.
What you want to do is:
install xqt-debian-scripts_0.5_arm.ipk after installing the xqt-gtk-jumbo package. Note the 0.5 version. This version has fixes to the version that comes with the jumbo pack which is 0.4.
use the latest version of the debian install script (currently 0.3.6 is the latest) if you have already installed debian, you can simply rerun the newer version of the install script without removing your existing installation. it will perform an update/upgrade of the config files.
-
And again all that happened was that X/QT opened, displayed the xterm and stopped there.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=89287\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I've located the problem on my 860.
I had the same behavior, basically XQt would start as if without the "debian" option.
The reason for me is these lines in .xinitrc:
# check debian location
if [ -f /etc/debroot ]; then
  DEBROOT=`cat /etc/debroot`
  if [ "$DEBROOT" != "" ] && [ -d $DEBROOT ]; then
    DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep $DEBROOT`
  else
    DEBIAN=""
  fi
else
  DEBROOT=NODEBIAN
  DEBIAN=""
fi
Specifically the line: Â Â Â Â DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep $DEBROOT`
Since I installed it to /mnt/card/debroot all goes well, however when you look at "mount | grep debroot" you'll see that in the running processes list the card is actually reffered to as /usr/mnt.rom/card and not /mnt/card
And that's the problem.
After I changed the line to     DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep /usr/mnt.rom/card/debroot`
all's fine in my case...

Found that, made the edit
typed xlauncher debian
XQT opened and then seemed to think about it and then just closed. Guess I did it wrong :-(
-
I have installed the XQt jumbo pack about 10 times now using Package Installer and constantly get the same error messages.
It is possible that installing from Terminal might work; could someone give me the full command line to use, please?
The one I have is wrong.

icewm doesnt come up when I tap on the debian icon? Looks like the regular X window manager.

Hello there,
If anyone has gotten all this to work on a C1000, please PM me I'd love to know how you did it. I really want to get debian/open office to work and so far I'm just failing :-(
Thanks!

Better still, post it here, I want to know too.

Meanie's site is great and his efforts are so much appreciated, but if someone has the time to write an idiots guide for total idiots, i.e. step 1 download this, step 2 install this that way, step 3 wait for 45 mins, step 4 reboot, etc, I would be gateful.
-
My problem is so basic, every package I try to install be it XQtJumbo, Firefox or Thunderbird I get the “This package seems to depend on other packages. Please install them too.†and “The extract of some files are failed. The application may not execute normally. When you cannot operate the application please remove itâ€.
I would like to try manual install but need the path to install to. Can anyone help?
Imro
Congrats on your success. Maybe now you are the one to write the idiots guide.
BTW how big is your SD card?

When I get home, I'll review what I did and write it up, certainly. I'm still in a bit of a daze. Definitely look at the other thread, downloading those files from Meanie's site, the correct scripts, seems to be vital, the links are at the bottom of the XQT Jumbo page. That other thread was a lifesaver :-)
When I installed X/QT Jumbo I got the "This package depends on other packages" message. I just ignored it since X/QT still booted, so I thought, well it can't depend on this too much.....
I've got a 1gb corsair 40x SD card which I formatted to ext2

Thanks for the excellent guide to setting up Openoffice/Debian on the other thread. My C1000 has tied itself into a knot and so it will be a day or so before I can try out your procedures.
Rather than distract that particular thread I thought it best to ask here, have you installed Firefox and Thunderbird yet? Do you know where to find Meanie’s build of thunderbird_0.6-1_arm.ipk?
I seem to be alone with the error “The extract of some files are failed.†So I have to assume that my device is at fault.
Again congratulations on your result, I know I shall get there eventually.
-
Hey there, I truly hope that works for people!!
I've no need to try thunderbird so no haven't tried that and probably won't. Sorry.
Firefox is in with debian, so I discovered, but I've not tried to install it just for xqt.
Sorry to hear about your Z being in a mess, I take regular NANDs of mine

yeah i spent like 4 hours trying to find the link for this file xqt-debian-install.zip
chuksters site needs it badly and also, his downloads speed and continuity is terrible..

that debian install file was either lost from my view or i was too pissed trying to find it.
meanie, let chuckster know that his file is missing.
direct link to the file

I've replaced the link to that file on my site. The file was still there, but I had removed the link thinking that Meanie's updated file: xqt-debian-scripts_0.5_arm.zip had replaced it. Anyway, both files are there now. Hopefully Meanie can clarify whether both are needed.
No need to apologize about the site. I find it interesting though. I just downloaded the openoffice file to test my connectivity and averaged over 150kb/s speed. I didn't think that was too bad...

Perhaps if you are using the same ISP to connect to the internet, as the one that hosts your file, you'll achieve a faster and more consistent download rate than someone outside that system?
I remember having major issues downloading from your site, I'm afraid. Am glad the files are there though, much appreciated.

thanks
can i install these files on vfat? i dont want to try ext.

Unrelated, sort of, but...
Has anybody else run into a problem with space when installing Fireox? The first time I installed, I got the dreaded "HDD1 error!!" and had to restore from NAND/my own backup combination. Not terribly difficult, but frustrating. There was 0 space available on /dev/mtdblock3 (mounted as home).
The second time I installed Firefox space went to 99% full (48K free)! Uninstalling doesn't free up the space either. I can't even see what would be taking up the extra space. Nothing obvious, anyway.
One other thing, that may have already been mentioned: During Firefox's install of the ipkg, it comes back with a warning that /hdd3/zaurushome doesn't exist (of course, it's not a standard location). Then states that directory linking has completed. Is there something in the install script that links something in the /dev/mtdblock3 partition to /hdd3/zaurushome and perhaps doesn't clean itself up on uninstall?
R.

** EDIT **
Turns out /home/zaurus/.mozilla/firefox isn't removed on unistall. That directory alone takes up about 800K.
-
-
Nope. Not even close. I'm using Cox cable as my local ISP. I actually have no friggin' idea where my website is hosted (I suppose I should look it up), but I know it's at least 15 hops across 3 or 4 nets to get to it. Definitely not the same ISP though. FWIW, I also did a speed test from my work machine on a totally different net and also had success...

i spent a bit of time today trying debian on the x env but i couldnt get it to work on vfat. I need vfat so i can swap files from my pc to my zaurus.
Reason i dont totally go with mandrake or debian 100percent is because i need to run a windows os for school....this blows totally!!
MAN!
also, it could be that my files could of been corrupt since i redownloaded each of the big files like 5 times each.
Im gona wait for debian and x environment.

Hi Meanie,
I have installed X/QT Jumbo now on my C3000 with Cacko ROM 1.23beta1.
THank you for your hard work! Ths jumbo package makes installation so much smoother! I will try the X application packages later. In case you plan to improve the package, here are some notes:
* Using the GUI installer (Setting / Add/Remove Software), the Zaurus had some problems. After about 15min of installing, the clock stopped counting the minutes. I waited for another hour in case it takes really that long and stops the entire device, but to no avail. I rebooted. After the reboot, X/QT was there and StartX worked. But I didn't trust that interrupted installation and reinstalled. See later.
It may be that following events have disturbed the installation process: 1. I plugged in the AC adapter during the installation, 2. I have overclocked the CPU to make installation faster and 3. I ejected the WLAN card during the install.
* After the reboot I used the command line ipkg install xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm_ikp to reintall the entire thing. That time it worked well. I dont know how fast, as I left the Zaurus unattended for an hour.
But I recommend to use the command line for such large packages! At least if something fails, you will probably see an error message.
* The command line installer gave an error "mkdir: Cannot create directory /hdd3/zaurushome/.mozilla: No such file or directory".
Sure, because I don't have a /hdd3/zaurushome, as some people seem to have. So after installation it will be necessary to
mkdir /hdd3/zaurushome
mkdir /hdd3/zaurushome/.mozilla
ln -s /hdd3/zaurushome/.mozilla /home/zaurus
right?
I have done so in the hope that Mozilla will work correctly.
Now I'll try XQT and install some apps...

Hi Meanie,
The thunderbird.postinst script contains a colon instead of a semicolon in line 2!
And: the xqt-debian-install.sh script creates a swap file, no matter if there is already a swap file or not. So I ended up with two swapfiles now, and have to delete and disable one manually now.
And: It seems an error occurred during download of the debian jumbo package, because the untarring of the tar.gz fails.
It might be easy to implement a consistency check either via md5sum check in the script or via a
zcat FILE | tar tvf -
and subsequent check of the return code.
...now trying to re-download the debian jumbo...
daniel
-
Can someone please advise....
Have downloaded files from Chuckster's webpage.
All of the files, except for 2, check out OK with MD5Sum.
I've downloaded the' jumbopack' and 'openoffice' files about 10 times now.
Each time the MD5Sum is different than what is listed...
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Meanie,
got problems with thunderbird and firefox.
firefox:
"Gdk-WARNING ** locale not suported by C library"
thunderbird:
"/opt/QtPalmtop/share/thunderbird0.6/thunderbird-bin: /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version "GCC_3.3" not found (required by /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libstdc++.so.5)"
Both programs do not start.
X itself does start nicely.
Any ideas?
Thank you

...and anotherone:
qpe-gaim is missing all its icons (tool icons and buddy status icons) after installation of X/QT. What could have happened?
The libpng fix mentioned on the qpe-gaim sourceforge page does not help here, although I get many errors on the console re. an incompatible libpng version (1.0.9 compiled for vs. 1.2.4 running).
Reinstalling all gaim IPKs does not help either.
What does X/QT (or firefox / thinderbird, which I also have installed already) have to do with that?
THanks
daniel

exactly the same for me !

do you guys know how to create those icon under Qtopia so i can launch X apps under Qtopia ?
i saw there're few firefox run script , but i can't launch it
-
Okay guys, after many of you have encountered problems downloading from chuckster's site, I have set up a mirror.
I am also only on a DSL line with slow upstream (I think 128kbps), but at least I have never had any complaints about corrupted or truncated download from my web site.
So, the X/QT and Debian Pocket Workstation files are now also available under
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus (http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus)
I will leave the files there for as long as it doesn't cause me any problems (bandwidth overload, file corruption as on chuckster's site etc.).
Meanie, Chuckster, thanks for all your good work!
I'll be happy to update the files on my site if there are new versions. Please drop me a PM then, as I don't follow this thread daily.
I had problems however with the firefox file. I have downloaded it at least ten times from chuckster and had always the same md5sum, which differed from chuckster's one.
I have installed firefox myself from that file and as root I can start it now. But I HAVE problems with my firefox installation (reported earlier in this thread). So it could be that my file is really corrupt.
It would be great if someone could definitely advise if my file is corrupt or not, and if it is, provide the correct file!
Thanks

A few questions please about JumboXQt/Debian....
Have it installed and it appears to be working OK....however....
1) When I click on Debian icon to start it, I get 'fatal error' message
-But I can launch Debian from Konsole, 'xlauncher debian' with 'su -'
Why 'fatal error' message and what to do about it?
2) When I first opened Debian, I got iceWM bar at top of screen and that nice Debian background image on display and a transparent 'x-term' window.
Now each time I open up Debian I get a plain blue background and bar is at bottom of screen and the 'x-term' window that opens at same time has a different background image than the time Debian opened before.
Why has this background image and bar location changed?
3) As noted previously by Perseus and myself, you can't type a '/'. This makes it extremely difficult to navigate to different directories or use firefox, etc.
How to fix keyboard mapping issues?
Other than the above issues, Debian works great...and thanks again to Meanie for these packages and Chuckster for hosting them!
Thanks for any and all help!

Hello Meanie,
one problem with the Debian install script:
it does a
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop /etc/rc5.d/S50mnt
and a
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop /etc/rc6.d/K50mnt
both failm because /etc/rc?.d do not exist here (Cacko 1.23beta1 on SL-C3000).
I had to do manually after install:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S50mnt
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K50mnt
Just FYI and for all who plan to install the package on a similar system as mine.

I too am getting a 'd' when I hit the '/' key.
xev says that both the 'd' key and the '/' key are returning keycode 47.
setxkbmap says that xkb is not an extension of the current display (ie not loaded with X)
I am running the loopback version of Debian.
I am also using Meanie's keyhelper.xml from his myZaurus site.
When I disable keyhelper, the '/' key works properly in debian.
I can easily add an icon that starts and stops keyhelper, or just remove the '/' ',' switch. But there must be a way for the two to live in harmony. Any Ideas?
If there is no xkb extension (I don't know how X could live without it), how can we reassign keys under pocketworkstation?
BTW: Meanie is a god!

xlauncher tries to bind /mnt/cf to $DEBROOT/mnt/cf by first looking to see if hdc1 is mounted. My memory betrays me as to why, but some of us mount our CF cards on hda1 (it made for many headaches early on).

Hallo,
i have the following problem, when installing xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm on my c3100. after installing a message appears saying that some files couldnt be installed and then comes a message which says that i should deinstall the app if it doesnt work. after reboot also no XQt tab appears. i have downloaded the file about 10 times now... but it doesnt work. i am also not able to download zaurus-debian-jumbo-v18-b01.tar.gz because it says after a time that the download is finished but the file had sometimes 17MB and sometime 89 MB... but it should have 94MB. i checked the checksum of the xqt-gtk-jumopack and it is alright... so the file is alright. i read that there is also a possibility to install the package via the console... what command is it?
what should i do? pls help.

oh... just now i edited my previous post. i downloaded from both pages... i checked all file's checksum. nearly all files are ok on both pages... but zaurus-debian-jumbo-v18-b01.tar.gz is not ok. i downloaded it about 5 times on every page... but it stops @ 89MB or 17MB instead of downloading the whole 94MB.
anyway, like i edited in my last post the xqt-gtk-jumbopack i downloaded is ok (checked the checksum) but i am not able to install... about 5 mins after i install it, a message appears saying that some files couldnt install... after reboot no Xqt tab appears. i uninstalled it again and need to know the right command for installing it from the console, pls.
daniel, your name sounds as if you would be a german (and .de of your page tells it also). i am from austria... so would it be possible to pm me in german? i think it would be easier for both of us . thanks in advance!

ok got it.... just "ipkg install" and then the file.
i am trying to install it now... i'll report if it worked or not. now console says "Unpacking xqt-gtk-jumbopack..." which sounds good.

Done.
after reboot the icons still didnt appear. so am i low of space? the installation again took about 5 mins. does the package not install onto the microdrive of the c3100? there would be enough space... and it would be the place i would like it to be installed. but what should i do?
-
Ok... i was able to install xqt now and it runs nice.
now i am still trying to download the xqt-debian package which is the only one that i dont have until now (but i downloaded it about 10 times now... everytime it stopped before the download was complete and the package was corrupted). i am downloading now once again at the same time 1 package from chuckster's page and one from Daniel's.
hope it'll work.
Edit: The download from chuckster's page stopped again (at 42MB). but the interesting thing is that my browser still tries to download (but about 2 min ago nothing happened anymore)... maybe in few minutes i will get a pop-up saying that the timelimit was reached and the download breaks down.
The download from Daniel's page is at 32MB right now and is still downloading.... hope that this time it works... i need debian

If you are really stuck with getting that file, then you could try using the original debian tarball
(zaurus-debian-big-v0.18.tgz). My install script can use this file as well, but you will not get my customisations though (which is mainly firefox, thunderbird, eterm, winxp theme and openoffice). You can install those applications manually yourself using apt-get. The only thing you won't get will be my custom winxp theme

2) When I first opened Debian, I got iceWM bar at top of screen and that nice Debian background image on display and a transparent 'x-term' window.
Now each time I open up Debian I get a plain blue background and bar is at bottom of screen and the 'x-term' window that opens at same time has a different background image than the time Debian opened before.
Why has this background image and bar location changed?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=90848\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
i managed to download now a working package and debian installation worked great and fast (about 10minutes). but as archimark said before i have the same problem with the debian backround and the iceWM bar. i have a plain blue background and the iceWM bar is at the bottom of the screen.
how to fix that?
Edit: and another thing: i can start debian just from the console... the icon doesnt work for me.

because i cannot run debian from the icon i run it from console using su - before. so from console i am starting as root.
i also tested to change the theme in debian but after some seconds of loading, again the same theme remains and nothing changes... i have also tested your winxp theme but it doesnt work for me.

I tried installing the jumbo xqt package on my 3100. The package itself installed fine, and I've been able to get firefox working with a little fiddling (starting it as root, etc). But I notice that the Firefox icon under the X/QT tab doesn't work. It says "Firefox not installed" when I try to run it from there. However, there is a Firefox icon under Applications that works fine.
Also, Japanese web sites do not display correctly. The Japanese characters appear, but it seems like every other one is wrong. Naturally this makes them appear as gibberish. Any idea why this might be?
I can't get Thunderbird to install, though. I get an error to the effect that the install of the ipk failed.

There are two firefox packages that work. Use whichever icon work for you and simply remove the one that doesn't work.
The Japanese web sites need to identify themselves with a meta tag that specifies which of the various encodings it is using. Try switching between shift_JIS and EUC-JP.
Try using thunderbird_0.6-2_arm.ipk. Hopefully this packages works.

I don't think it's an encoding issue per se (and yes, I did try various encodings to be sure). I've never seen anything like this on any other system. The Japanese is *partially* readable (it's obvious that some of the right characters are being displayed, so it's not complete gibberish like it would be if the wrong encoding was selected). I already restored from a backup (I was just testing it out) or I'd post a screenshot.

cd /hdd3/debroot (where xqt-debian-install.sh is located)
./xqt-debian-install.sh /hdd3/debroot
and then i get this error.
when i installed debian with the old script i did it the same way... and it worked... but i cannot imagine why it says: not found

already tried that one and it didn't work the only way thunderbird works for me currently is under debian which means its slower than running under X/QT busybox.
-
I did some more experimenting with this and found out the cause of the Japanese display problems I mentioned. Apparently it's a font size issue. I don't know why, but if I increase the font size by a couple of ticks all of the Japanese text displays fine. If I use a smaller setting, it basically leaves some characters out, making it impossible to read (like if every other letter was left out of English words). Strange.
-
I've updated the jumbo pack - xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.7_arm.ipk which basically means it includes the latest start scripts and icons as well and it should hopefully be able to be installed to CF/SD as well.

link?
I know you have two mirrors for this but its not up. I have another question. If it works on sd, would i be able to run these applications such as deb on a fat partition? I have not been successfull yet. I put your project aside until someone would get it to work since my time is limited. I know it works on ext and was about to try it out till i saw the new update.
I'll comfirm if it does install to my fat card as soon as i get the installer.

The updated version should be available soon...
Make sure you also get the latest debian install script since it will detect what type of partition you are installing to and if its a ext2 partition it will simply install it, but if it is fat, then it will create a loopback filesystem which is ext2 on top of the fat partition.

cool I got a 1gb cf card formatted to ext2
-
Hi,
First of all thanks to all, especially Meanie, for putting such a huge effort on this X/Qt smoothie!
I got a 1GB SD and partitioned it into two halves, one FAT and the other EXT2. Using C1000.
Then I downloaded the latest files and attempted to install the jumbo package on the EXT2 partition (mounted to /mnt/card2) using the command line. The results are as follows:
bash-2.05$ su
# ipkg -d /mnt/card2 install /mnt/card/Documents/xqt_jumbo/xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm.ipk
Unpacking xqt-gtk-jumbopack...Done.
Configuring xqt-gtk-jumbopack.../mnt/card2/usr/lib/ipkg/info/xqt-gtk-jumbopack.postinst: /opt/QtPalmtop/share/bin/xqtliblinks: not found

X/Qt installed sucessfully.
Done.
Then I restart Qtopia but couldn't see any X/Qt tab or icon, nor in any other tab. So it seems the installation process fails (non-trivially) at some point, but not "installed successfully" as reported on the screen.
Installing the latest debian install script (0.6) seemed to be fine, but still no X/Qt tab and icons anywhere....
Did I do something wrong here? Any insight into my case? I am so eager to get X/Qt run on my Akita! Thank you so much!
-
lookinvg forward to putting xqt on sd on my 6k. with so little flaah to begin with, xqt had been quite a burden on my sharprom setup. There will be an announcement when the package is up?
-
Ok, after several failures I gave up trying to install the X/Qt jumbo package on external cards directly, but finally I got X/Qt plus PocketWorktation installed on both a C860 and a C1000 to a 1GB SD card with an ext2 loopback filesystem and a swapfile automatically created during the installation.
It seems Debian runs noticeably faster on C1000 than C860.
I was really thrilled when seeing Debian loading for the first time. Kudo to Meanie!
Now comes another question: I changed the path of sources.list in /var/mnt/card/debroot/etc/apt by commenting out the internet sources and add
deb file:/home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files debs
as detailed on Meanie's page, becuase I want to install additional Debian packages locally. But what remains unclear to me is the way to install additional Debian packages available downloaded (i.e. NOT throught the net).
When I was doing this:
# mkdir -p /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs
# cp *.deb /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs
# cd /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files
# dpkg-scanpackages debs /dev/null | gzip > debs/Packages.gz
I received an error simply saying
dpkg-scanpackages: command not found
The Packages.gz was still generated, though. Then I ran PocketWorkstation and tried "apt-get update" and "apt-get install" but nothing was updated nor installed.
Then I googled for several hours looking for a solution but to no avail.
So could someone here please teach me how to get over this problem and enable Zaurus on Debian to run "apt-get install" with the expected result?
NB. I have been trying to get OpenVanilla installed and get it to work with OpenOffice as an input method. Any idea to achieve this?

Hi All
First i want think you MEANIE for the great job you are doing
It helps us (newbies) too much and it makes the zuaurs more powerfull
I have successed installing both xqt and debian on my C860, and it is AMAZING
Now i am preparing to install OPenoffice on my sd card 1GB
But i don't knew how to uncompress the openoffice cramfs file (in order to
make it loading faster)
Which programme and which command line shall i use to uncompress it
CAN you help please
THANKS

This needs to be run from within Debian. It should work then.

you just need to mount the cramfs file, then copy all the files over and then you can delete the cramfs file, ie
mount -o loop openoffice114.cramfs /mnt
cp -R /mnt /hdd3/debroot/home/zaurus/OpenOffice.org1.1.4
umount /mnt
rm openoffice114.cramfs

Hi MEANIE
thanks for your quick reply
but please I have some more questions to avoid any mistake
1- where the cmfs openoffice file must be (which path) before i run these instructions
2- Should i Run these instructions after installing openoffice or before
3- I have c860 so no hdd3 maybe i have to put instead of hdd3 /card/debroot
4- from where i have to run these instructions i mean which directory and which console (debain, or cacko or xqt)
5- i guess i have to type su first ???
Sorry mybe these questions are silly but i am not yet familiarised with linux

A question about alternate locations for Xqt / Debian etc.
I am planning to do the following:
1. Unmount HDD3
2. Delete HDD3
3. Create 500 MByte HDD3 as FAT for personal files and such
4. Use the remaining space to create HDD4 as ext2
I think I should be able to do this.
What I am not sure about is the following:
- what do I need to do that the Z recognizes HDD4? ( meanie mentions "add entries for hdd4 in /etc/fstab " - what entries do I need to add?)
- will the Xqt / Debian files give me the option to be installed on HDD4?

The latest jumbo pack (0.7 as indicated above) and several other updated files are now available on Daniel's mirror, though not yet on Chuckster's as far as I could tell. They all checked out with Daniel's md5 values for me, though there is still the discrepancy between the Chuckster and Daniel md5 values for the firefox file. Perhaps Meanie could post the md5 value for his version of the latest firefox if it's not too much hassle after the crash?
Given how much excellent work on the Zaurus Meanie has turned out in his spare time, one can hardly imagine what he's accomplishing in his day job. I'm looking forward to his next web page on running Linux on the OQO (hint ). Then if we can find a compatible battery pack so the OQO can last more than a couple of hours, it would start to look pretty attractive, presumably a real step up in speed running fluxbox, eg, instead of XP.

Now the new files are downloadable from my web server. I had to re-download a few of them due to differences in the md5sums to meanie's md5sums. But all files which are now online on [a href=\"http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus/xqt]http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus/xqt[/url] are correct.
In case you have downloaded the xqt-gimp_1.2.5-3_arm.zip package from my website, please re-download it. It was faulty before.
The firefox package was correct before. Chuckster seems to have a wrong md5sum of this file on his page.
And: Please do not download all at the same time. My web server is not the fastest one.

Hmm, my bad. I added a feature to check that the debian install file is not corrupted but of course if it is not there it sorta seems corrupted
To install openoffice, you will not need to install debian again, but the installer wants the file to be there so all you need to do is to copy it to your cf card as well. It won't actually install it again. Alternately, you could also comment out that section that check for the file.

Hi all
Meanie
I wonder if you can add in you web site some words about the keymapping on debian you knew the problem of "/" key
without the right keymapping the installation of debian is like incomplete
And i can't type no instruction without the "/" key
So it is welcome if you can add some explanations on how

Just a bit of feedback regarding installation on a 512MB ext2 formatted card on the 760: using the add/remove software applet failed, saying "this must be installed in main memory" after a while of processing.
However, going to the command line, su'ing and then ipkg -d /mnt/card install /mnt/card/Documents/install_files/xqt... saw it install without a complaint.
startx complained that it can't find the shared lobrary "libXMuu.so.1"...
I rebooted, and retried, still to no avail.
Then I tried reinstalling and.... it worked!
Any ideas as to why?

dpkg-scanpackages: command not foundThis needs to be run from within Debian. It should work then.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=95811\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
- I have this same problem running from an x-terminal window within Debian. If I do a find / -name "*scan*" -print 2>/dev/nullin the x-terminal window, it does not locate anything relating to dpkg what-so-ever. The error message ignore prevents zillions of "permission denied" messages from appearing when it's traversing the /proc tree.
- I'm of the impression I need to run something to build "Packages.gz" so apt-get will use the local directory setting I put in sources.list. I don't seem to have web connectivity with Hiro via the USB to the laptop, so I can't just pop out to the default sites in sources.list and let it get things. I have the .deb files I want to install on the SD card already, if I can just get apt-get to figure out where they are...
-
I read someone seeing the error "required depencies not here" or something like that but I couldn't for the life of me work out the solution to this problem from peoples' replies.
You guessed it, I'm having this problem and haven't a CLUE what to do about it. Not fun being a noooob...

I want to ask a question here
i have installed debian and it works really well
however, i got a problem
i want to set the locales:
used "apt-get install locales"
but during the setting(dpkg-reconfigure locales), i clicked zh_TW.utf8
and it ends to run out of memory
the x/qt is killed automacially
i have mointor the memory during the second time
i noticed that the physical memory is near full(>55M)
while the swap still has about 33M free...
but it still crush!
any method to solve this problem?

not sure, but maybe you need to create a bigger swapfile. if the swapfile is too small, things from physical memory cannot be moved to swap in order to clean up the physical memory.

I've been thinking about building a cramfs image for X/Qt jumbo so instead of installing X/Qt via normal ipk which takes ages and has problems with installing to CF/SD/hdd3, one could just copy the xqt-jumbo.cramfs file to desired location, ie CF, SD or HDD3, mount it as a loop device and then just run xqt-install.sh and it sets up all the required symlinks similar to my zgcc2-95-2.cramfs image. since the package will be using the exact binaries as the xqt-gtk-jumbo package, all should be the same except for the symlinks needing some testing to make sure that I didn't forget any Anyone wanna try and be a beta tester?
-
Having the whole thing on SD is a big plus and probably the only way I can run this. Insufficient Internal Storage is a recurring problem.
Count me in.
Can the package include Thunderbird, or it is early days yet?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=99329\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
now that you mention it, I could add various x apps onto the cramfs file or have an addon xqtapps.cramfs
now i just need to figure out which apps to include on the cramfs image
-
I asked for Thunderbird because some of us are desparate for an email app. Does Sylpheed work under xqt?
What you are proposing to do here is just amazing.
If I can help with trying out a beta version then you can rely on prompt feedback.
-
I think I will do the following for starters:
FireFox
ThunderBird
Minimo
Dillo
Sylpheed
Xchat
AbiWord
TheGimp
Ethereal

If you can get it running from an SD card, that would be just great. I've tried out your package, but I ended up getting rid of it since it takes a lot of space on the internal flash. But I'd like to have these apps available. I don't have the time to be a beta tester right now, but I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes.
-
Meanie,
would it be possible to create an installer ( for C3x00 ), which would automatically
- make a backup of HDD3 to SD
- unmount HDD3
- create a smaller FAT32 HDD3
- restore the backup created
- create a HDD4 in ext2 or ext3
- mount HDD4
and then all the debian, openoffice etc. files could be installed, in a (non compressed) way on HDD4.
Thank you.
-
Meanie, I have spent 2 hours in this forum trying to find how to free space on my C1000 to install your X/QT package.. and still do not know how to have 50MB free !!.
And now you just offer what i need !!, I could be a beta tester if you need !.
-
actually, i did another method. I installed xqt and made a list of necessery files needed to run xqt off the sd card. after i established the bare minimum files needed to have xqt running in the sd card, i managed to occupy only 2mb. So the other 18 or what ever runs off the sd card.
After i established xqt, i Installed silpheed and gimp. Both ran off the sd. I was so happy that i Tried to install debian and openoffice....to my surprise, I cant figure out why i am the onli idiot who cant run those applications. ext2 even by then wont run.
so.......i got emacs, gimp, and silpheed running off the sd drive while still maintaining all other applications in my system(alot of software) and dstill have xqt. I am not putting this information out until i really get it narrowed down though. Im just trying out various methods........ sucks cuz it is so time consuming.
-
good luck cresho and meanie :-)

ok, I've finished creating the xqt jumbo cramfs image. it is about 16MB in size and copies about 500k to the internal storage/flash during install. all you need to do is mount the cramfs image and run the install script which will then create the neccessary symlinks and xqt is installed. potentially, this script can also be used with the xqt-gtk-jumbo ipk package to relink the files after install to SD or CF now thw xqt apps will be next which should be easy
-
is-it available somewhere ? do you want beta testing ?
-
cant wait to try it meanie!
-
ok, cresho and bolbit, if you two are still interested, you can test the new xqt cramfs images
simply place all files, xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs, xqt-apps.cramfs and xqt-install into any directory you like such as /mnt/card/xqt or whatever. then just run ./xqt-install from that directory and wait a few seconds and you're done.
i will send you the url for downloading the files in pm.

Meanie,
If you still want testers for the cramfs image, I'm game (as is my C860).

Thanks for the offer but I currently cannot let more people access my server. I am way over my net quota (downloaded too many solaris 10 iso images) so all my net traffic is now crawling like a snail
At the moment, the biggest challenge would be to download the cramfs images. Installattion only takes a few seconds and I am pretty sure I ironed out all the bugs already.
The current xqt application cramfs comes with the following pre-installed and I have tested them to be working fine
abiword 2.0
dillo 0.8
ethereal 0.10.2
firefox 0.9
gimp 1.2.5
minimo 1.6
sylpheed 0.9.99
thunderbird 0.6
xchat 2.0.5
xmms 1.2.10
hopefully this mix has enough useful applications to choose from

Hello ALL
i have installed on my c860 both xqt and debian using ext2 formatted 1GB SD CARD i have also installed openoffice IT IS REALLY AMAZING
i have used MEANIE packages and refered to his webpages so THANKS VERY MUCH MEANIE
and thanks to you all guys for your advises
i have also uncompressed the openoffice cramfs to make it faster but loading remain long about 4minutes to load openoffice; 1mn for xqt and 1 minurte for debian any way when it is loaded every thing is ok
Now i am waiting the xqt and xqt-packages cramfs release
MEANIE could you please add two packages which i think are intresting:
-Grisbi: which is very powerful account manager running under mutliplatforms
ipk exists for openzaurus and pdaxrom I tested both under cacko and XQT but it doesnot work
-Gqview: is also a good image viewer ipk exists for pdaxrom but it dosn't work under xqt
cheers

I got both gqview and grisbi working under xqt
now my problem is that my xqt-apps.cramfs is way too big (almost 50MB) so I am thinking of dividing it up into smaller logical parts, ie
xqt-apps-mozilla.cramfs containing firefox and thunderbird
xqt-apps-office.cramfs containing abiword grisbi gnumeric sylpheed and dillo
xqt-apps-multimedia.cramfs xmms gimp gqview
-
There is on reason for the breakup if this thing is installable into an sd card.

Thanks to Bam for creating a mirror for the new cramfs images!
The files can be found at http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/ (http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/)
simply download and place all files into same directory anywhere you wish where you have plenty of space and then
gzip -d xqt-install.sh.gz
./xqt-install.sh
that's it.
The xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs contains the xqt-gtk-jumbo package which is required unless you already have the full xqt jumbo ipk package installed already
The xqt-apps.cramfs currently contains:
abiword 2.0
dillo 0.8
ethereal 0.10.2
firefox 0.9
gimp 1.2.5
minimo 1.6
sylpheed 0.9.99
thunderbird 0.6
xchat 2.0.5
xmms 1.2.10
which makes it almost 50MB in size
what I am planning to do is to split it up into smaller chunks and add more applications to it.
so my current thinking is
xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs (no changes needed)
xqt-mozilla (containing firefox and thunderbird - they use about 20MB which is almost half of the xqt-apps)
java.cramfs (just the blackbox 1.3.1 jre for starters, I will add some working java apps to it in later revisions)
xqt-apps.cramfs (all the previous apps excluding thunderbird and firefox and some additional ones such as gqview and grisbi)
This would come to a rough total of 80MB of compressed applications. This would never had fit into the flash.
on another note to freebird, the best i could get on my 3100 was with everything installed to a 4GB CF card formatted as ext2 and uncompressed openoffice cramfs and it loaded xqt and debian in less than a minute, about 42 seconds and openoffice loaded in 1 minute and 53 seconds.

thanks bam!!! but one problem
if i download it through internet explorer, i get an error corrupt file
if i just click on firefox, it opens file up and you see a bunch of code.

not sure about the tiff stuff, worst scenario would be you wont be able to display tiff images I guess, but try installing libtiff and see if that helps.
as for the i18n warning, that one can be safely ignored but if it bothers you, then you can symlink it to /home/QtPalmtop/i18n/en/libsl.qmid and dont worry about the // since linux is smart enough to figure that it should only be /
now the important bit. set LANG to en. in an xterm, type:
LANG=en
and then launch abiword
the next xqt-apps.cramfs will fix that

Its a feature of the newer webservers and browsers to do on the fly compression and decompression during downloads. They use a magic file to determine known mime types to do it properly. Unfortunately the default magic files on most servers only know the common mime types such as .zip extensions and use a guessing method to determine other compressed or unknown formats. I guess, they guessed wrongly (pun intended).
Bam, to fix it you need to edit your web server's mime.types and add gz and ipk to the
application/octet-stream line or just hosts them as zip files. Now you know why my ipk files are all available as zip files instead of ipk files on my main mirror site
-
ok, I guess so, zipping and uploading....
-
thanks, LANG=en is ok for sylpheed, and abiword etc..
Nothing about config, but if you want (like me) a better e-mail client for your Z than the available from the sharp rom, sylpheed with the meanie's xqt package is quite fast to launch and easy to use.
I wanted first to use thunderbird, like with my laptop, but thunderbird is very very slow, compare to sylpheed on the Z.

Meanie,
it seems that there is an issue (at least for me !) about the cramfs jumbo package :
I was not able to reboot properly after it was installed. the Z just show the Sharp picture for eternity..
I have then restored a backup without any xqt install (this time) and the reboot=>ok
After the cramfs installation, i tried to reboot => same pb. I was able to connect to the Z via the USB connection and openssh while the Z was showing the startup screen since a long time. here is the outpout from ps command:

time), kill the failing qpe and qeserver process . and then the boot process continue. and was ok.
why the qpe.sh script need this lib from the X/Qt install ???
Note that before reboot,
- the startx command works,
- abiword fail to load with a libgthread-2.0.so.0 error, (it was working with the first install ??)
- sylpheed, dillo, xmms, gimp, ethereal, thunderbird and firefox works.
PS : I tried two time the same thing (restore a working backup, reboot , install xqt jumbo cramfs package , try to reboot) to be sure about that.
-
I was not able to reboot properly after it was installed. the Z just show the Sharp picture for eternity..
It isn't just you. I have had the same result on my C860. I just haven't had any time to diagnose it yet, so I hadn't posted.

Similar wierdness here - hung on reboot - restored backup and tried again - same thing. third time I installed Debian using latest xqt-debian-install.sh file. Now I have to pull the battery to reboot - but it does not hang? I am having problems running some of the settings apps also - like Network and System Info?
-
ok, so i m not alone..
After booting with the workaround above, there is some strange stuff. There is something running in background (there is the sand glass on the task bar)??
the network setup don't want to run.. and it is possible to umount /home/xqtjumbo but it not possible to umount /home/xqtapps
there is something like :
umount ioctl : LOOP_CLR_FD:device busy
/home/xqtapps device busy
??
-
sorry everone, I made a mistake with the xqt-apps.cramfs image. Please do not install it until the next fixed release is announced.
I am currently away from home on an assignment and have limited access to the net so won't be posting anything until I get home, but for those who already installed xqt-apps, here is what you need to do to fix it:
ln -sf /QtPalmtop.rom/lib/libjpeg.so.62 /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln -sf /QtPalmtop.rom/lib/libjpeg.so /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libjpeg.so
-
So I'm still wondering which method I should install if I haven't done so already - the
new cramfs option or the previous ipk/tar option? Is one easier/faster/better performance,
etc.?
thanks,
scot
-
For my experience, installing the cramfs package on a clean Z (ie without a previous X/Qt install) is very very easy. I didn't have the required flash memory available to try the ipk jumbo package. if you want to try just wait the updated apps cramsfs.
About the performances, X launch is ok, some apps too (like sylpheed). but thunderdbird (for me) is realy to long to launch.
Last thing, it may be easier to uninstall the ipk package than remove all the links created by the cramfs setup ?.
-
Basically the difference between the ipk and the cramfs jumbo xqt is as follows:
ipk file:
takes long time to install (30mins - 1 hour)
requires 40MB space + tmp space on main memory
has to be installed to main memory (unless you use xipk)
might run a little bit faster (depends on model)
can be uninstalled from package manager gui
cramfs:
takes less than 1 minute to install
uses about 15MB
can be installed anywhere
have to use command line to install (need a console)
may run a little bit slower because files are all compressed
can be uninstalled from package manager gui (ver 0.2)
-
OK, as a self-professed uneducated-in-the-ways-of-linux person even though I still love my Zaurus 3000, I would like some help with this...
What am I doing wrong???
I downloaded the ipk of the Jumbo X/QT package and clicked install package.
I am now getting an Install Error that says "This package seems to depends on other packages. Please install them, too."
Then I finish the install and I reboot the Zaurus.
Then when I try to run any of the new programs other than any of the new icons...it shows the icon exploding like everything else but I get the system stall while beneath it says debian not installed and minimo not installed etc.... it only runs Start X and X/Qt Server, but it locks up when I try to exit out of those applications.
I am running the Cacko ROM -- does that make a big difference in this? I would love to be able to run all of this, even if just to have some alternatives....
Thanks,
Poet

The cramfs images are finished and just need to be put up on Bam's mirror site.
The xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs hasn't changed much. I just added an uninstall feature so once you have it installed, it will appear in the qInstaller uninstall list.
The old xqt-apps.cramfs has been split into xqt-mozilla.cramfs and a new xqt-apps.cramfs
The xqt-mozilla.cramfs contains Mozilla Firefox 0.9 and Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6. Because it is just a port over to the Zaurus, there is no optimisation and thus it loads pretty slow but runs reasonably once loaded. These two apps are for die hard Mozilla fans.
The xqt-apps contains an updated bundle of applications:
abiword 2.0 which is a word processor
dillo 0.8 which is a fast but simple web browser
ethereal 0.10.2 is a network sniffer and analyzer
flfm 0.3 is a X file manager
fltdj 0.7 is a PIM application
gimp 1.2.5 is a graphical image manipulation tool
gqview 1.4.2 is an image viewer
gnumeric 1.2.2 is a spreadsheet tool
grisbi 0.5 is an accounting package
minimo 1.6 is an optimised and customised port of Mozilla
nedit 5.4 is a powerful text editor
sylpheed 0.9.99 is an email client
xchat 2.0.5 is an irc chat client
xmms 1.2.10 is a multimedia player capable of playing sound and video
I hope this set of application is going to be useful.
Finally, java.cramfs is a full blown Java Runtime (blackdown JRE 1.3.1) which runs in command line and also in graphics mode with awt and swing in X/Qt. I also added jikes and kopi compiler so you can write and compile java applications on the Zaurus and run them. In addition, I also included two sample java applications, Hd Pad and Hd Crawler. These run quite slowly due to java being very slow on the Zaurus. Hd Pad is a simple text editor and Hd Crawler is a download tool that can download images and files from entire yahoo and msn groups. It also has a few other tools for splitting and combining files as well as generic url sequence generation...
Have fun running all these X apps on your Zaurus using the Sharp ROM.
-
i want to ask if the files on the site(http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/) are updated?
i see that there is a new java image and its last modified day is 30 oct
but other images' are 23 oct...
and final words, i am shocked by the effort you've put on these things
really thx for the jumbo package and the great website made by you
-
they are updating now as we post...
edit: forgot to zip re-uploading...
-
Bam, that is a way cool web site you have put together.
I must have had my head in the sand not to have checked it out sooner.
Previously I had just gone straignt to the Index of Meanies_XQT page.
Thanks for the resource.
-
meanie put up some fantastic files.
The only problem i have is mounting and unmounting after a restart and umount and mount the sd card when ever i want to eject the thing and...well you know. It mounts itself stuck to the unit.
Ill probably make some icons for ease of use especially for the newbies and or ill put up some commands so the newbies can easily be able to mount the stuff after an install.
other than that, it works great. man meanie.....you gaved the flexibility the c1000 users needed.
I had to reinstall the whole thing since my system was basterdized from previous x environments. I recommend people to reinstall if they expirience problems.

Some NOtes for us newbies and myself.

-
Cresho Mind if I put your post up at my site for reference(just in case this place has a hiccup)
-
yeah go ahead. Im still modifying it since it makes kinda no sense. I had to put this up cuz i was a bit frustrated with the mounting and unmounting since i always eject the darn card to upload pictures from my sd camera which is the mustek or audio files from recorded lecture or even videos which i record on the go.
well i had to take down the commands because there was a bit of a problem
ohh darn..
i forgot to ask..if when meanie is going to release the crams for openoffice and debian?
and abiword still does not work. missing libgthread-2.0.so.0
filemanager is a little funky
gnumeric needs libgthread-2.0.so.0
mounting and unmounting is done in the terminal. my sudo only allowed 2 loops in fat and when i went to ext and reinstalled, still said only 2 available. i may need to reinstall but ill let you guys know later what goes on.
at this moment, I would preffer a crams file that includes all of them including debian and office. Releave the problems of doing mounting unmounting and loop0 problems.
-
The Z by default only has 2 loop devices. The script in my automounter package creates additional loop devices which allows you to have up to 7 loop devices.
I have created a xqtmega.cramfs bundle which contains all four cramfs images in one big cramfs image (98MB). However, I am having problems uploading it due to bandwidth restrictions on my site
There is a also a xqt-cleanup script which takes a brute force approach to cleaning up left over xqt files. If the xqt-install.sh doesnt work because of previous xqt components being installed, try the xqt-cleanup first before reflashing. it may save you some time
As for auto mounting and unmounting the cramfs files from SD or CF on insert and remove, you can modify /etc/sdcontrol or /etc/pcmcia/ide and add the appropriate mount and unmount commands to the appropriate eject and insert section
eg:
insert)
sdctrl insert $SOCKET
if [ -f /mnt/card/xtq/xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs ]; then
mount -o loop /mnt/card/xqt/xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs /home/xqt-gtk-jumbo
fi
;;
eject)
if [ `mount|grep loop|grep xqt-gtk-jumbo` != "" ]; then
umount /home/xqt-gtk-jumbo
fi
....
The above is just a simple illustration. of course you need to mount each of the cramfs images you have and unmount them as well. I might write a script that you can call from within sdcontrol to simplify things...
Have a look at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html) for more info about XQT jumbo
-
thanks meanie. Ill keep you posted when i reinstall cuz uninstalling sudo and running ext2 gaved me the same problems with loop device problems. Tomorrow after school, ill give it a shot with a fresh install.
Nice to see things running btw..very nice stuff.

cresho,
sudo and ext2 have nothing to do with the loop device being unavailable. you just ran out of them since there are only 2 by default. my mntloop script which comes with my automounter package creates additional loop devices on reboots. they need to be recreated each time.
also my latest automounter package (0.4.3) now is enhanced to automatically mount and unmount any loop devices that are defined in /etc/fstab for SD and CF cards. So whenever you insert a SD card for example, it will mount all the loop devices defined for the SD card if the file exists, and unmount it if you eject the card.
as a bonus feature, it will also enable a swapfile if one exists on the sd card (needs to be called swapfile and located in the root directory, ie /mnt/card/swapfile) and also disables it when the SD is ejected. The same also happens for CF cards (/mnt/cf/swapfile).
my mntloop script assumes that cramfs files have a .cramfs extension, an ext2 formatted loopback file has a .ext2 extension, etc. It recognises .cramfs, .squashfs, .ext2 and .ext3 extensions. to disable a mount point from automatically being mounted, you can comment out its definition by placing a hash (#) at the beginning of the line in /etc/fstab.
mount points defined in /etc/fstab are mounted after each reboot automatically which would fail with the default Sharp config if you had more than 2 loop devices defined. the mntloop script creates additional loop devices and then mounts all the loop devices that failed previously, but it will check and not mount them twice if they are already mounted.
i also modified /etc/sdcard/sd_mem_ctrl and /etc/pcmcia/ide which controls the insert and ejection of SD and CF card respectively to call mntloop.
-
Meanie!
I gaved it a shot. It works fine. I put all the cram files in an sd, installed sudo, and your auto mounter ipk.
then i ran install.sh
i can now eject the sd card and insert it..
just like you said. it automounts and unmounts. Everything works fine. everything runs on a fat partition just fine.
the only thing i had to do was to start from scratch because i was using a certain xqt feed which basterdized all processes. Nothing would work. even your xqt cleaner did not clean the files. This was do from my installers. Yours are all fine.
now the only thing need to fix are certain applications-very few.
just for my notes and newbies
files needed to make it run
automounter-c3000_0.4.3_arm.ipk
sudo_1.6.3p7-2_arm.ipk
and download crams from here courtisy from bam
http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/ (http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/)
extract all files in a folder in sd and run xqt-install.sh "./xqt-install.sh"
and instructions to run the x environment
-----------------------------------------------
how to use....
ckick on the tab and hit start x....it starts 8)
the menu button on the z keyboard you can shutdown here and also go full screen.
now hit the fn key and click the the screen(don't click on the terminal)...you just excecuted right click. regular taps is left click. this opens up new menus and you can change the look here as well or configure environment. to add or remove executables within x environment you need to configure Blackbox menus /opt/QtPalmtop/share/blackbox/menu
------------------------------------------------
ill post up one or 2 applications that seem to be acting funny with me.
-
Cresho - you mention using the sudo package, and meanies site says not to use the sudo package on Cacko - what do us Cacko ROM users do, is sudo not necessary with the Cacko ROM?
tia,
Brent
-
When i tried it on cacko, did not work.
I tried automounter and i did not try sudo.
give it a shot. Im interested but i flashed back to sharprom.

i had to install sudo....dont know why it wont work without it.
hey gadgetguy-
were did you get the packages from?

Funny about the keymappings. Mine all work both in my C3000 and C3100. Maybe you should compare your keymap to mine or use it. My xqt keymap can be found at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/cus...xmodmaprc-c3000 (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom/xmodmaprc-c3000)
rename it to .xmodmaprc and place it under /home/zaurus and/or /home/root
Obviously this keymap only works for C3000/C3100/C1000 models. The key layouts for other models are slightly different and since I don't have one of those, you will need to create your own keymap translation file.
-
well, I managed to create a cramfs for OpenOffice with a shrink wrapped version of debian on it which I have called minideb. The whole cramfs image is just under 100MB but I am still working on shrinking it further. This allows you to run openoffice without installing pocketworkstation. all you need is xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs and xqt-openoffice.cramfs
-
when can these be available? So far, xqt works fine.

meanie...
the automounter works fine but i discovered a sad problem
it does not allow the sharprom to restore properly. severe crash!
i tried this with a current install or a clean flash
same on cacko. I went back from cacko cuz i thought cacko might be having issues with backup restore but not sure. I was not testing on it that much. but i know its the automounter for sure on sharprom. probably related to sudo but who knows.

I also had a problem with the automounter on Cacko. After installing it, the external USB memory stick I use did not work anymore. Removing automounter did not solve the issue - I had to reflash Cacko. Now everything works again...
Cresho: I had some initial problems with backup/restore on Cacko ( see my post in the Cxx00 general forum ) - but the last 3 times the backup went fine...

actually, you will need to turn off automounter by runnning
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop stopbefore doing any backup or restore operations.
you can then turn it back on by running
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop start
-
And here i go again@!!!!
salivating in reinstalling the xqt packages
thanks for the update.
-
this did not work so i had to check the devices by typing mount between each session to see how it behaved. so you need to su instead.
su
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop stopbefore doing any backup or restore operations.
su
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop start to turn it back on by running
this works perfect. I tested it and its fabulous. Very happy man!
just to give you a heads up meanie.
-automount works perfect without needing to do any commands. i can eject and all and i see no problems at all.
-need to su before applying those commands.
now to make abiword work and ill post the errors as i go. just need a few libraries i know i seen them somewere. now the / works but im not sure which applications screws it up. ill post my findings another time. I know my / key dies with one of my apps.
---------------------------
update on getting abiword and gnumeric to work
install
gtk2_2.4.13_arm.ipk
glib2_2.4.7_arm.ipk
search for them in google.
this will get abiword to work also posted by meanie on his website. These files will give you a corrupted install error but they work fine. Ignore this error, click ok-wait a minute or 2 and finish installing. after if you want to uninstall, you need to unmount the crams images from mount because the installer gives you an error " something went wrong." One thing that bothered me is, for the life of me i can't remember what i did, i started gnumeric once and was missing a library. The real case here is i had to re-run ./xqt-install.sh again to relink that missing particular library which was libgnomeui-2.so.0 just reinstalling fixed the broken link.
abiword opens up and works just fine.
gnumeric works just fine as well.
-
problem fixed
do not use sudo_1.6.3p7-2_arm.ipk cuz this one locks up when suspend
sudo_0.1_arm.ipk this version works fine
use this one
this is the old post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just discovered a new problem Meanie-
My device locks up badly and i am not sure if its related to bluez.
suspend resume and suspend resume bluez.
when i uninstall these files including the extra bluez stuff, my zaurus does not lock up. When i reinstall, it locks up in suspend and i need to do a hardreset to get my zaurus working again.
Any ideas? i exhausted all my resources. This is related to the automounter.
i was at my job last night after installing bluez since i was getting my zaurus running again with a fresh install. I closed the lid thinking it was fine and when i tried relogging this morning, my zaurus was dead. I thought i bricked it but i decided to place it on the charger. NO light came on and after a few minutes, it began to charge. its fine now but the lock up severely sucked the battery dry.
everything is almost perfect but.....man if its not one thing, its another.
everything works like eject sd and all and remounting and even the swap file works. This is just a new bug needs to fish out.
-----------------------------------------------------
and here is the final product running. I took down some icons because i am not using the other applications at the moment.

I would like to thank Meanie for the work on the cramfs package, this is exactly what I wanted to run these type of programs. So far everything looks good. It's cool to add some functionality in something that will, eventually, be relatively easy to install.
This is some notes from the installation. I am running a Sharp SL-6000L with the standard Sharp ROM:
A) Right now, the packages at http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/ (http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/) seem out of date? They are only for October 23rd and lack the split packages. Or maybe that is all that is out right now.
I ran into the same installation problem mentioned here regarding libjpeg.so.62, and because I failed to read ahead, I forgot to correct it after running the app install. :/ Fortunately pure-ftp worked after the reboot so I could FTP in as root and replace the file, avoiding the reflash.
C) The /etc/fstab method that was used by the app installation script for some reason did not work on bootup. The Zaurus was giving a message that it wasn't recognizing the /usr/mnt.rom/ paths. I'm suspecting how the fstab is handled may be different for the C series. For now what I've done is modify the mntpython script that got dumped into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ to also mount the X/Qt cramfs images using the mount command. (The mntpython script comes from the Python cramfs image posted here. (http://pyqplayer.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/bin/view/Main/PyqPlayerDownload))
D) The following apps did not work on the SL-6000L at least with my configuration: Abiword and Minimo (missing: g_type_class_add_private while loading libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0); XChat and Thunderbird (missing: g_type_class_add_private when loading libpangoft2-1.0.so.0)
The following apps at least ran : XMMS, Sypheed, Gimp, Firefox, Dillo, Ethereal. I didn't do much testing on how they worked, but I like what I see so far.
E) For the SL-6000L, the screen is upside down in rotated (640x480) mode, and the coordinates for tapping the stylus are reversed. The interesting thing is, the X/Qt server does not respond to rotation changes. So you actually can start in rotated mode, flip to the standard (480x640) mode, and you have a working 640x480 screen. It's kind of strange.
Here's a sample of what I mean...

My quest in installing this is to see if Firefox can run Java applets in the browser (as far as I know this is not available on any Qtopia-based browser yet). I'll give it a try tonight.

Cresho,
those packages are actually part of the xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs image so I am not sure why your setup needs to install them separately, but maybe you still had leftovers of those packages from previous installs. Unfortunately, I have found that xqt packages found on the xqt feeds do not uninstall cleanly.
It also appears that the files on the grinder have reverted back to the initial packages instead of the newer ones
I might be able to fix the 6000 rotation problem. I think the 5500 and 6000 require the older x server binary. What does
cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep Hardware
return on a 6000 and 5500?
I think all you need is to install xqt-server_0.0.8_arm.ipk instead of the 0.0.9 which the clamshells need.

well! I am not sure why but when i ran it from the rxvt terminal, it gaved me missing file errors and i search for them on the net. I should of searched for them before i installed those files on my z. the packages i stated had the files i needed to run abiword and gnumeric. They run fine now. Ill reconfirm this again on a clean slate. Right now i have my hands full. another time i was getting an error for a different file. executing the xqt-install.sh reinitialized the missing file and so far, i have no expirience in seeing that missing file.
i hope somebody can help me confirm this. Could be a corrupt download on my part as well or a bad zaurus image i have on my pda. if you read up, soundwave(sl-6000 which is not made for) was having problems as well with libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 so i just posted it just incase. Ill wait for the next crams images. For now, all i care is using gimp to modify my jpeg pictures i have when "im on the go!" I use textmaker for my doc and etc files. I hope to use openoffice since im in a transition between windows to linux. anyway man....the work here is very appreciated. and abiword works fine with the ipk i installed.
-
cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep Hardware returns:
Hardware: SHARP Tosa
If anyone could confirm that the two libraries mentioned is a problem on the C series as well, perhaps this would help. Myself I thought it was just a couple of libraries that for whatever reason were incompatible with the SL-6000.
Unfortunately, Java applets doesn't run on Firefox even in this. I guess it will be this way from what I'm seeing until the Debian package is finished? I've managed to get to my Java applet by downloading the page from my PC and running the evm -appletviewer function, but I was hoping a way could be made that wasn't such a pain in the butt. Ah, well. Still neat.

Actually, the java cramfs gives you the full jre 1.3.1 plus compiler but the java plugin is missing
not sure whether the debian version of jre includes the java plugin. I will have to check and if it does, then there is a possibility to use it.
-
If nothing else, it looks like Debian versions of Konqueror and Opera don't need the java plugin. I was thinking that would be worth a look if no plugin was there.

well, just to set your expectations right so you won't get disappointed, openoffice is quite slow to load, similar to firefox and thunderbird performance which is why I included sylpheed, dillo, abiword and gnumeric in my package as an alternative to mozilla and openoffice.
i initially was thrilled to be able to run mozilla and openoffice, but then the load time put me off a bit and i resorted to the alternatives which run much faster, although with less features. so what I do now is to use the alternatives if i need to do something quickly and use openoffice and mozilla if i need the fullblown features. i do get all my documents in staroffice format so i have to use openoffice to open them, but most of the time i just convert the document to doc format and use abiword to modify them.
-
ok, I updated some of the cramfs images and created some new ones ...
updated xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs to add compatability for older models (should work for 6000 and 5500 as well now) and you can switch between blackbox and evilwm window managers by editing /etc/X11/defaultvm. fluxbox will be added soon.
no changes to xqt-apps.cramfs and xqt-mozilla.cramfs
updated java.cramfs to add a few extra jdk tools.
added xqt-openoffice.cramfs which allows you to run openoffice from xqt without having to install pocketworkstation. it uses my custom minideb embedded chroot environment.
don't forget to use the latest install script.
details can be found at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html)

Gona do a full test on this soon.

i have just installed the great cramfs image
really thx
great work meanie!
(it took me a lot of time to install the previous version of xqt jumbo ipk and now only a few second!!)
i have a question related to these images
how can i update them if there is a new version?
just replace a newer version of the cramf image and then run the install scrpit again?

to upgrade the images, all you need is replace the cramfs file (after you have unmounted it) and then mount it again and run the <something>-setup script that is contained on the cramfs.
you will also notice that when you launch the uninstaller gui, you will see the name of the cramfs file listed there. if you uninstall using the gui, then it will remove all the links and the files that got copied to your flash during install.

Hi. I'm new to Zaurus. I went through the debian install procedure for a C1000 as per this page:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/lofiversion/ind...php?t14056.html (https://www.oesf.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t14056.html)
I didn't get any errors.
I can launch X, but all I get is a grey background with the mouse cursor. Even if I specify, say "xlauncher open office", I get a grey background, but the mouse cursor is now an arrow rather than an "X".
I get no fancy background or menu or task bar
This is very frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

I installed the new CRAMFS images. From the old images, unfortunately the biggest problem I got is that somehow the X/Qt icon is not appearing in the menu window of my Sharp Zaurus SL-6000L. This kind of makes it useless as the screen will only occasionally show up as the foreground window, and even then once you tap out, you've lost the window forever. Any ideas on getting the icon back?
-
Ok. I figured out what sudo is, installed it and set: zaurus ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
I then typed: sudo xlauncher debian.
I get a grey screen with an "X" mouse cursor which then changes to a blue screen with an arrow for the mouse cursor. A console (I think xtern) then launches. That's all I get.
Is is possible that the taskbar for debian is out of view?
Gary

Sorry everyone - I've found that if I use the x icons in Qt, debian will launch. So, problem solved.

Could you be a bit more specific since I don't have a 6000, I am getting a bit lost here with your problem. A screenshot would be a nice and easy way of showing what's wrong so I can hopefully fix it for you.

Well, actually I figured it out. For some reason Xqt.desktop was missing the first line ([Desktop Entry]). Thus no icon was appearing for the window. Weird.

argh, typo in the setup script. this only affects 6000 and 5x00 models.
as mentioned by soundwave106, you can easily fix it by editing /home/QtPalmtop/apps/XQt/Xqt.desktop and add [Desktop Entry] to the beginning of the file.

Hi all
I've just installed the cramfs on my 1g compact flash ext2 formatted
all seems to be ok with acceptable loading speed
openoffice needs 3 minites to load and one more minit to open a new text file or spreedsheet but one loaded it is ok
as i have i c860 after a reboot or ejecting the cf i mount manually from the console the 3 cramfs
xqt; xqt-apps and openoffice and then it works fine
what i would like now is to have a bigger and bold font size on xqt to work confortably (same on cacko)
do you knew guys how to do ??
cheers

yeah i got that figured already. i started unmounting the sucker myself and works fine. Im having problems running xqt office. what other file is needed to run. says i need debian.
another thing. I couldnt figure out how to remove any of the old files. So updating was a pain in the butt! I had to start off fresh. I am ...how ever as suggested by meanie, rerun new script and leave the old ones alone. also updating automounter first.
okay--installed over the old install and also new automounter...works fine and also xqt office though it takes a long time to load. the option of having it is well worth it
-
Hi again.
For some reason the Qt file explorer can't write to the sd card (with ext2) on which debian is installed. It told me to check that the sd card wasn't "locked" - and it isn't.

HI ALL
Meanie
1-can upload the ipk of xqt-openoffice (without installing debian) for those who prefer to use the xqt jumbo ipk packs instead of the cramfs
2-on more question is from which ipks have you made the cramfs of gqview,grisbi,gnumeric.. ??
cause as i have problems of mounting and unmouting the cramfs so i prefer to use the ipk jumbo packages
THKS

-
The cramfs and ipk packages can be mixed, so you do not have to install only ipks or only the cramfs images. You can for example install the ipk of xqt-gtk-jumbo and mix it with xqt-apps.cramfs, or install xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs and install individual ipks for the x applications. However, the xqt-openoffice.cramfs is too big to be made into an ipk.
I have updated the xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs and this is now how it looks like:
-
Hi Meanie
I am traying to install the new release of xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs
but i can't execute ./xqt-setup

on the first release it executes without problem !!!!!
any idea

hi meanie,
is there a gcc cramf image? i see this in your website, but i cant find it to download
-
off topic, what is that 4th applet icon over? the double arrow.

How do I send function keys? I have the c860 xmodmap in use, but I am unable to with xev to find F8 for example.
I built vncviewer for X/qt and it works great, but I need F8 to exit full screen mode.
Thanks.

cannot install xqt gtk jumbo crams file. When i run xqt install, it reffers to
warning: ambiguous entry for xqt-gtk-jumbo.crams found in /etc/fstab
goes on and does not install.
this is in a fresh install by the way.
using all the files at bam's site.
-
woah, so many questions
freebird: you can use xfontsel to change the font. you can launch it from a terminal or if you are using the latest xqt jumbo cramfs image, it is also available from the fluxbox menu, btw, the cramfs images do not need to be installed to ext2, vfat or ext2/ext3 is ok. details on the cramfs packages can be found at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html)
marovada: you need to start qt explorer with root priviledges. the zaurus user does not have priviledges to create things on ext2 filesystem by default unless you chown all the files to zaurus user.
terryleung83: the gcc cramfs can be found at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/stuff/ (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/stuff/)
bam: which icon are you talking bout? too many of them on that screen
datajerk: F8 is keycode 102 I believe. you could for example change the line
keycode 1 = Escapeto
keycode 1 = Escape F8 F8which changes the Esc key to be F8 if pressed with Shift or Fn key
cresho: this was intentionally. you need to clean your /etc/fstab entries. the xqt cramfs images used to mount to /home but the new installer now mounts them on /mnt but it doesn't clean up the /etc/fstab which needs to be done manually. just unmount all the images and then remove the entries in /etc/fstab and try running the installer again.

Hi all
Meanie
1- If i want to install the cramfs images to /home can i use the first version of xqt-install.sh with the new xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs
2- In fact my gaol is to mount the xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs then copy xqt-gtk-jumbo directory to /home
then to run xqt-setup from it (in other words to install xqt directly in the flash memory to avoid problems of mounting the cf)
I did it with the first xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs and it works,
but with the new release i have this prompt when trying to run ./xqt-setup from /home/xqt-gtk-jumbo directory:
#bash: ./xqt-setup: cannot execute binary file
what this prompt mean ????
thanks for your great help
Cheers
Freebird
-
I had the same problem with the cannot execute binary file. It is because the shell file you download from meanie's site is a gz file. It was easy to "decompress" following instructions from googling. After that I also found you had to use the "cd" command to have the terminal pointing to the directory where you want to install. Otherwise, the shell does not find the installation problems.

I did it with the first xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs and it works,
but with the new release i have this prompt when trying to run ./xqt-setup from /home/xqt-gtk-jumbo directory:
#bash: ./xqt-setup: cannot execute binary file
what this prompt mean ????
thanks for your great help
Cheers

I did a nand restore from a japanese sharprom. I cannot install xqt. still with the same problem. I have automounter 4.5, sudo, zlib...
Does not work at all. everything installs but.....the crams image gtk.
If i start off from the very first crams image you did and install.sh, works fine
but for newcomers, this isnt going to work since i downloaded everything fresh from bams site. I always restart fresh and keep a working progress available incase it doesnt work.
this case, its not working at all. i also noticed that the gtk crams jumbo is 12.7 mb big.....i think. original was more than that.

Hello Meanie,
I also have problems with xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramsf file.
I downloaded it and used unzip on my desktop (UnZip 5.52 from debian unstable) for extraction. Unzip didn't complain at all. However after I mount cramfs image I can see that xqt-setup is corrupted, i.e. it contains only 0x0 chars. The same can be said about lot of other files included in this package. Some other files are OK. It seems that cramfs zip file is corrupted somewhere in the middle. It's also possbile that my unzip is not able to handle it correctly. Thus I want to ask you. Could you check original file and publish its MD5 sum? I was not able to find it.
I downloaded file from http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/xqt-g...umbo.cramfs.zip (http://www.thegrinder.ws/Meanies_XQT/xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs.zip) twice. Both files have following MD5 sum.
bdd3f359e1ad50cf4503e9ccfac3ae3c xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs.zip
I downloaded also other cramfs images and scripts. They are working well. MD5SUMs are below.
63e912995c89f857576780df48dd7ae2 xqt-apps.cramfs.zip
e77dc872abd41a0d13cc2dbc48068c5f xqt-cleanup.zip
c56e138b292a5785b0bc2325926d769d xqt-install.sh.zip
49eea238d0005df251aab1c8eccd759d xqt-mozilla.cramfs.zip
094280fe05f924aa7c7d2617f5ff0cb0 xqt-openoffice.cramfs.zip
I tried also your .ipk package of xqt (i.e. xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.7_arm.zip - BTW zip is bigger than included ipk package). I was able to install it on SD card (on SL6000 tosa) and xserver was working well(I got blackbox running with terminal).
Nice work! I didn't thought I will be running Xserver on sharp rom. Hopefully we'll find what's wrong with jumbo-cramfs file soon.
Cheers, PM

guys, the xqt-gtk jumbo file is corrupted. please don't try to download it until the problem is rectified. it may however take some time to fix since bam is hosting the files for me and I am travelling around again (well, I am travelling around every week) and uploading files to bam's ftp server from an internet cafe isn't so easy around here.
-
The versions of the cramfs files I got didn't seem corrupted, so maybe you can pick them up from my site in the mean time, until the official site with them gets back in place.
XQT Cramfs files (http://www.kcgould.net/temp/xqt/)
I only have the apps, mozilla, and gtk-jumbo files.
Hope this can help some of you out until Meanie gets the regular site back in action.

Hi soundwave106!
Thanks for your cramfs image. I can confirm that your is working fine for me. There is also new package available on Meanie's site but it isn't working again (it has the same size as yours but it's still broken).
So correct file size is 17398837 bytes.

soundwave106: What version of the xtq-gtk jumbo do you have installed? You can find out by executing the version script which is located in the same location as the xqt-setup.
Check whether it is 0.7.2 (previous version) or 0.7.3 (latest version)

my sites files are ok now I take it? Anyone try?

The version I uploaded to my site is 0.7.2. If Bam's got the latest version on his site, I'll go ahead and delete the files out of mine (unless you want me to grab the files Bam has got and put it on my site for backup).
-
Meanie, what do I use for x-devel? I have been using the x-devel from xqt .9, but now that I run jumbo, I'd like the most recent for building apps.
Thanks.
BTW, xqt apps that I have built that also work with jumbo-xqt (1.9 xqt)

Hi all
Cresho
I have downloaded the openoffice cramfs before the release of the xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs 0.7.3, it is not dammaged, and i think it is the same so may be you have to download it again , or download it from soundwave106 and then chek md5sum
for me it works
Cheers

Hi all
Bam
1- the xqt-gtk-jumbo cramfs you uploaded is the old version :0.7.2 it is not the 0.7.3
I have installed it and tested it
2- but the xqt-install.sh is the new one: it mounts to /mnt instead of home directory
so waiting the 0.7.3 version

rxvt aliased to xterm comes with the xqt-gtk jumbo pack so you should have a terminal.
just type xlauncher xterm from the console,

ok seems I have a present in my upload directory, will zip it and have it availiable in 12hrs or so
-
you know if Meanie would zip it first I could set up a cron job to move the files to the public folder:)
-
i'll fix it so you can launch it straight from the icon in the next update of the xqt-apps cramfs.
in the meantime, i am trying to decide what else to add to the xqt-apps cramfs.
maybe some of datajerk's compiled apps if he doesn't mind.
x48 looks good, and xqt-bochs can be bundled preconfigured with FreeDOS. win98 loads much quicker on xqt-bochs as well, but that I cannot bundle for obvious reasons.
-
uploading latest from Meanie, will be about 10 minutes or so. I will have a cron job automatically move the files from the upload area to the feed(its not really but you get the idea) from now on that way if I am gone its business as usual
Thanks Meanie
-
add an ftp software. very needed
also... .openofficecramsimage is damaged
-
I didnt upload openoffice just gtk-apps and the install script
-
The Z by default only has 2 loop devices. The script in my automounter package creates additional loop devices which allows you to have up to 7 loop devices.
I have created a xqtmega.cramfs bundle which contains all four cramfs images in one big cramfs image (98MB). However, I am having problems uploading it due to bandwidth restrictions on my site
There is a also a xqt-cleanup script which takes a brute force approach to cleaning up left over xqt files. If the xqt-install.sh doesnt work because of previous xqt components being installed, try the xqt-cleanup first before reflashing. it may save you some time
As for auto mounting and unmounting the cramfs files from SD or CF on insert and remove, you can modify /etc/sdcontrol or /etc/pcmcia/ide and add the appropriate mount and unmount commands to the appropriate eject and insert section
eg:
insert
  sdctrl insert $SOCKET
  if [ -f /mnt/card/xtq/xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs ]; then
    mount -o loop /mnt/card/xqt/xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs /home/xqt-gtk-jumbo
  fi
;;
eject)
  if [ `mount|grep loop|grep xqt-gtk-jumbo` != "" ]; then
    umount /home/xqt-gtk-jumbo
  fi
 ....
The above is just a simple illustration. of course you need to mount each of the cramfs images you have and unmount them as well. I might write a script that you can call from within sdcontrol to simplify things...

Hello All
I have just installed the new xqt-gtk-jumbo.cramfs version 0.7.3
and installed the xqt-apps.cramfs version 0.2 all works fine mounted on /mnt
exept that I DON'T HAVE THE ICONS ON XQT DESKTOP like on the thumbmail that meanie have posted is it normal or have i to type some scripts meanie ???
- one other point is i want to automount the cramfs on my zc-860, what i have to modify is /etc/sdcontrol or /etc/pcmcia/ide or both of them (for information the cramfs are on my compact flash) ????
any help for a linux newbie ??
cheers

It takes a while to load those icons so I decided not to automatically load them. There is a menu item that says DesktopIcons which will activate them.
as for automounting the cramfs on your 860, you will need to modify /etc/pcmcia/ide for the CF card.

Hello Meanie
Thanks for your quick replay
Now the problem is that the icons (after typing DesktopIcons on the menu) remains always on top, even when an application is launched ; so you imagine the mess
a lot of icons inside abiword for example !!
ok i found it the solution is that we have to type immidiately after: restart on the same menu
for information to have the menu just hold the fn key and type en the screen

I downlaoded the crams images off bams site. everrything sort of works. mozilla and thunderbird does not work. java does nt work. openoffice does work but wont launch because it states i have permission denied. any help can do.
the previous version i had no problems launching openoffice and mozilla, thunderbird never workes. the apps do work though. i do have a better expirience withthe xqt jumbo crams image. does not ask for lost libs or anything.
---------------------
update...my bad.
runxqtoo
i was running
runoo
thanks. openoffice is working like a charm. takes a good while to load and loads like a charm.
-
ok, cron job setup, now whatever Meanie uploads will be in the feed every other hour, so longest delay 2 hours
-
just an update.
I did another fresh install just to note differences. I installed everything and was wondering why xqtoo never appeared in the tabs. I ran ./xqt-install.sh and after a reboot or a update on the tabs manager, it appears. It wont appear if you install it one time. Funny thing you need to run installer twice to get this openoffice to be recognized not needing debian.

Hi all
Now all the cramfs (xqt,xqtapps and openoffice) are installed on my C860 and every thing is ok,
But openoffice takes too much time to load, more than 4 Minutes
So i have uncompressed it and copy it to my cf it takes about 250Mo
than i modified runxqtoo to point directly to openoffice scalc, the result is amazing it needs only 2 minutes 20" to launch all xqt, minideb, openoffice, and spreadsheet !!!
but i think that i have to do some more tweaking may be change some other paths in some other files ??? i don't knew cause some times it launches and some other times it doesn't
my question is
first What do you think about having openoffice as uncompressed files instead of cramfs since memory space is not a problem on sd or cf (prices have go down)
second do you knew what other tweaking i have to do to make it run from cf
without problem
hope some replays

supposing you have installed xqt-gtk-jumob.cramfs version 0.7.3 dated 04/12/05
try typing this on the console

you should be able to extract the cramfs images to SD/CF or /hdd3 as long as they are formatted as ext2 or ext3
i build them on my ext2 formatted CF card and run them from there directly because it is much faster this way. the cramfs is for people who want to keep their fat partitions and want to conserve space so people with 512MB SD or CF cards can run xqt apps and openoffice from the card directly, but if you do have a larger card and don't mind reformatting it to ext2 or ext3, then extracting the cramfs images to them does run the apps faster, although you will require more space to store the uncompressed files. plus you don't need to worry about mounting and unmounting the cramfs images if the files are uncompressed
there is nothing special that you need to do. i run everything off my 4 GB CF card and it all sits under /mnt/cf/xqt/...
ie
/mnt/cf/xqt/xqt-gtk
/mnt/cf/xqt/xqt-apps
etc..
all you need to do once you extracted them cramfs is to run each of the setup scripts
-
i'll fix it so you can launch it straight from the icon in the next update of the xqt-apps cramfs.
in the meantime, i am trying to decide what else to add to the xqt-apps cramfs.
maybe some of datajerk's compiled apps if he doesn't mind.

Hi Meanie
I have just finished installing xqt,xqt-qpps and openoffice after uncompressing the cramfs
first: on a compact flash 1G 80X speed,
then: on an SD card 1G 60X speed
both formatted ext2.
the result was clear :
running from the compact flash it two times faster than from SD Card
to execute openoffice from CF takes 2 Minutes, from SD Card takes 4 minutes
so i will keep openoffice on my CF

Hey Freebird,
Thanks for the help, SUDO and explaining remounting did the trick for me. Bluetoothing Dillo to verizon EVDO is so much faster than any so called smart phone. What a kick. I was worried because the default fonts and themes looked so dreary but a little bit of tweaking blackbox themes and dillo / Fluxbox looks as good as PDAXROM equivalents.

Freebird,
I'm not sure what got the fonts working because I did not notice it until I surfed off of the home page. The option GUI is in one of the dillo menus that you get by tapping next to the address box. When I changed the zoom fxn to 1.2 I think that did it.
Another possibility is that I changed styles to minimal, the fourth style down in the blackbox menu. That style has beautiful antialiased fonts. You get the blackbox menu by shift tapping the screen. The blackbox menu, from what I google, can easily be customized.
Dillo keeps its configuration info in a file called dillorc, fun to edit, but I don't know where cacko hides it.
Thanks for indirectly reminding me to do a nand backup, now that its working the way I want it.
Both XFT and PDAXROM would benefit from the same attention to default fonts in applications evident in CACKO. My middle aged eyes love cacko and struggle otherwise.
If none of this works let me know and I will list the longshots I tried. Good luck
-
HI ALL
Now that xqt xqt-apps and openoffice are all installed and all working well
my Goal is to make the fonts looking bigger and Bold to work with confort
and to make it look like pdaxrom
So i started googling
He are the results
for fluxbox it is easy i have just to edit a ligne which is in the theme file i am using:the ligne that is refering to the font size
But the problem is that this change affects only fluxbox menu and title bars
the applications menu fonts are not affected
So i googled again and here are the results
It says that
as the applications are gtk related, we have to look in the gtk default configuration,
and that there is different way for gtk1 and gtk2
-For gtk1: we have to make changes in the ~/gtkrc files
-For gtk2: we have to use gnome-control-center or gtk-theme-switch
Any help guys (Advanced linux users) for a newby
Freebird

for dillo you can tweak fonts in dillorc which is in home/zaurus/.dillo. good luck and thx

I downlaoded the crams images off bams site. everrything sort of works. mozilla and thunderbird does not work. java does nt work. openoffice does work but wont launch because it states i have permission denied. any help can do.

Cresho, can you elaborate on how you fixed/solved the problem, I think I am having a similar problem.
I've installed the xqt-gtk jumbo ver 0.4.6-0.72, I've read .73 is available from bam's site but I wanted to try this first. I've also installed xqt-mozilla 0.1
when I try running firefox, either from the icon in qtopia, or "xlauncher firefox" in the console, it will start up, but when I select the default profile I get this:
"firefox cannot use the profile default because it is in use please choose another profile or create a new one" also I get this at warning from the terminal:
"GDK warning **: locale not supported by C library"
Just some background - I just got my C-1000 from pricejapan, installed Cacko full version 1.23. I installed the jumbo pack, and mozilla cramfs into my flash memory, I read somewhere this worked if I have 40+megs free which I do.
I pretty sure this a a noob question, but I've scoured the forums, and this post seems closest to my problem.
Thanks meanie for this great package, I might try the debian distro, after solving a few more problems and tweaks. Thanks in advance.

you need to let me know what your problem is to start off.

Sorry... Firefox starts to run, but prompts me to select a profile. when I do, it says the profile is already in use, and quits.
here is a run down of what works and doesnt work for me (running Cacko 1.23 on C1000). These are the latest files from bam's site.
xqt-gtk-jumbo cramfs package - Works fine, x11 starts, has it's on tab in qtopia.
xqt-apps.cramfs.zip - apps work fine, abiword takes a while to load.
-slypheed, if i can configure window size to vga.
- change font size for x11.
xqt-mozilla.cramfs.zip - NOT working. this is the package I really wanted, but it
doesnt work for me
In general after reading this entire thread. I'm seeing alot of the same. It seems alot of us are having problems getting firefox and thunderbird working from the mozilla.cramfs, But on the other hand, those that go on to install the debian package are meet with success with firefox, and thunderird (assuming they got debian working).
It seems the general concensus is using the cramfs, over the ipk packages is effortless, but not all the cramfs packages works (mozilla broken for me).
So, anyone got firefox and thunderbird working in X/QT WITHOUT installing pocket debian? I'll like to hear from you.
FYI - I found that the /etc/fstab had some wrong paths. I deleted them, and reinstalled xqt-jumbo package with success, In case anyone else has that problem.

i just have the xqt, apps, openoffice running. the rest do not work for me
this is what i do so far

Hi all
spaul
ihave tweaked the dillorc file but it seems that this doesn't affect the menu fonts
it changes only the inside window fonts, thks
Meanie
as i am trying to change the menu fonts of gtk (gnome) applications
here are some informations may be you can help
in the site web below related to the fluxbox documentation
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/en/faq...#gnome-settings (http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/en/faq.php#gnome-settings)
in the FAQ section here is the answer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Gtk2/Gnome2 applications look wired under Fluxbox, but they look ok when gnome is started
A:Run gnome-settings-daemon when Fluxbox starts, eg. put this into your ~/.xinitrc
#load this to have gtk2 apps look ok
GSDPID=`pidof gnome-settings-daemon`
if [ "x$GSDPID" == "x" ]; then
gnome-settings-daemon &
fi
If you don't have gnome installed you can use gtk+/gtk2 theme switcher.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my questions are
1- is this answer the right one
2-is gnome-settings-daemon installed in the xqt cramfs
3- is gtk+/gtk2 theme switcher installed in the xqt crmafs
4- and finally if no one is installed is it possible to install one of them
here is the link to gtk+/gtk2 theme switcher
http://www.muhri.net/nav.php3?node=gts (http://www.muhri.net/nav.php3?node=gts)
it seems that it exists an debian arm package as in the link below
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/gt...eme-switch.html (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/gtk-theme-switch.html)
hope these informations can help

So, anyone got firefox and thunderbird working in X/QT WITHOUT installing pocket debian? I'll like to hear from you.
Hi upstart7
I have installed xqt-mozilla.cramfs on my c860 both firefox and thunderbird work
without using debian
for info all my cramfs are installed on a compact flash so no need to mount for me

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=107099\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
freebird, can you elaborate a bit on what you did. What I did was copy the jumbo cramfs, and mozilla cramfs to my SD card (FAT files system), along with the xqt-install script. Then I ran the install script as su:
./xqt-install.sh
I then proceeded to launch firefox,( the icons appear in Qtopia at this point) from the terminal, as su -
xlauncher firefox
Is there anything else I need to do? I've read meanie's site, and this entire thread.
I've tried the stock Sharprom, Cacko 1.23 and no luck on my C1000. I've gotten as far as firfox loading, but when I choose "default profile" it says it's in use, and closes.
Mind you, i've gotten the apps cramfs to work, and I've used meanie automounter succesfully also. I uninstalled the automounter when the Zaurus started not recognizing the SD card when it was in the slot.
This reminds me of my college days running firefox on solaris in the computer labs, I would get a similar error, and what I would do in that case is erase the cache, and temp files. This error was usually becuase I've reached my disk quota. I dont know if it's the same case here. I have plenty (20mg>) left in the internal flash, and in main memory according to the manager I'm fine.
Thanks for the confirmation freebird, and if there is anything else you can add, I'd greatly appreciate it.

heyas... sorry, i feel like a tool, but i am basically a noob to linux and anything to do with it. i got myself a c3100 about 2 months ago, and i've just been getting sick of the basic functions and wanting more. so i decided to try X/Qt.
i got the jumbo package... tried to run the xpt-install.sh in terminal on Qt, but for some reason it wouldn't let me, so i shutdown Qt and ran it in the basic command. everything was setup fine, i rebooted and restarted Qt and :-( it doesnt want to work. icons, tabs etc are installed, but when i tap Start X it attempts to load, and then nothing happens.
it said on your forums, meanie, that when rebooted, you'll have to re-mount the cramfs. how exactly do i do that? i put the files (X/Qt and the Apps install file) in /hdd3/Documents/XQt/. should i put it somewhere else?
thanks to anyone who can give me hand.... much appreciated.

im putting up my notes.
install--needed files or it will not work
----------------------------------------
automounter-c3000_0.4.5_arm.ipk
sudo_0.1_arm.ipk
zlib_1.2.3-1_arm.ipk
qconsole(disable magnifyby holding down with stylus and removing check)
placed all crams images in /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/xqt
then
cd /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/xqt
then
./xqt-install.sh
fn stylus right click.....
menu and hit fullscreen for fullscreen
unmount before backing up or restoring
mount
always su before
su
to stop processess before backup, do this
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop stop
and then you can backup.
to start up processess
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop start
use mount to see the mounted stuff.
reboot when necessery cuz it leaves a bunch of
virtual drives in the file manager or you can try and unmount
if you need to eject the sd card, su then /etc/rc.d/init.d/mntloop stop then
umount /mnt/card
to remount if you did not reboot, mount /mnt/card
type mount for status of mounted files.
cd /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/xqt is the location where i have it stored.

aye thanks for that. i've got the beast up and running... definately knocks the pants off Qt any day. too bad OO is so slow... no ideas for speeding that up?
cheers mate n thx again.

seems like the mozilla cramfs is a bit buggy. I will fix it soon and then firefox and thunderbird will work also.
for all those who have a C3000/C3100/C1000, the automounter package will be able to mount the cramfs images for you automatically after reboot. it might work for other models too, but untested. any volunteers for c8x0/c7x0?

Hi all
Meanie
could you add this useful application (i was using under pdaxrom)which is Tuxcards:
the developper described it as follow:
TuxCards is a hierarchical notebook. That was created out of the desire to let my own chaos of papers, notes, and post-it's vanish. Those items are useful but the chaos I produced was not.
Through a friend I got to know CueCards; this is a really nice program that exists for Windows. Since I am using Linux almost permanently, I got the idea to write a similar tool for myself and let every Linux/Unix user share it.
here is a screenshoot
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
here is the link to the home page
[a href=\"http://www.tuxcards.de/]http://www.tuxcards.de/[/url]
and here is the link to the ipk in pdaxrom

or
http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable/tuxcards_1.1_armv5tel.ipk (http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable/tuxcards_1.1_armv5tel.ipk)
i tried to install it directly on xqt i didn't succes

The one I started [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209[/url]
Anyways, I have decided not to update the xqt-gtk jumbo and related cramfs/squashfs images anymore since they are based on old apps.
Instead, I am building a new one which I have named pdaXQtrom. As the name suggests, it is based on pdaXrom using its xqt feed. Initially, I will use the updated version of fluxbox from the pdaXrom feed, but eventually, I will create a wm selector which will allow you to switch between window managers. I am currently thinking of fluxbox, openbox (using the matchbox panels just like pdaXrom), icewm and xfce.
Currently I got the following apps working:
Abiword 2.4
Dillo 0.8.5
Firefox 1.5
Sylpheed 2.0
Thunderbird 1.0.7
and I am planning to add the following:
Gnumeric
Scite
Gimp
TuxPaint
GQview
Xchat
Gaim
StarDict
axyftp/gftp
emelfm2/rox
xmms
xpdf
jamvm
However, the goal is to just create a base image which can use the PackageManager/Qinstaller to install additional apps from the xqt feed so I might not add any more apps at all and leave the choice open...

That sounds great! Let us know once you're finished.
Yesterday I saw that the pdaXrom Gnumeric (cannot recall version) opens my bookkeeping sheet very well. The current X/QT gnumeric version from your cramfs image however imports the XLS in a wrong way so I cannot work with it.
So if gnumeric is your next goal and you want me as a betatester for it, please let me know!

Hold off your jumbo xqt packages for long. Waiting for your pdaX package.

nice work. cant....well i could wait. as it is, the xqt is good. now we get the best of both worlds.

As always, you're 'da Man!!!
This sounds great!!

The one I started [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209[/url]
Anyways, I have decided not to update the xqt-gtk jumbo and related cramfs/squashfs images anymore since they are based on old apps.
Instead, I am building a new one which I have named pdaXQtrom. As the name suggests, it is based on pdaXrom using its xqt feed. Initially, I will use the updated version of fluxbox from the pdaXrom feed, but eventually, I will create a wm selector which will allow you to switch between window managers. I am currently thinking of fluxbox, openbox (using the matchbox panels just like pdaXrom), icewm and xfce.
Currently I got the following apps working:
Abiword 2.4
Dillo 0.8.5
Firefox 1.5
Sylpheed 2.0
Thunderbird 1.0.7
and I am planning to add the following:
Gnumeric
Scite
Gimp
TuxPaint
GQview
Xchat
Gaim
StarDict
axyftp/gftp
emelfm2/rox
xmms
xpdf
jamvm
However, the goal is to just create a base image which can use the PackageManager/Qinstaller to install additional apps from the xqt feed so I might not add any more apps at all and leave the choice open...

Don't forget Grisbi! But of course, if it is easy to add my own packages then this is no problem.

anybody have a go with the tarballs yet vs the cramfs or squash? which is faster?

I mix cramfs and squashfs on my 3100/cacko. in actual use I cn't tell the difference--you'd need to use timers, and I doubt the difference would be much. I simply seem to have a limit someplace about how many squashfs I can mount with out things misbehaving.
