Title: Does Kpwm, Come In Pi-sync Package?
Post by: microsoft/linux on October 18, 2005, 10:24:11 am

I want to use the KPwM on my Z. Does it come in the .ipk package from the site? Is their another place where I could download a binary for it?

I downloaded it, and it does. However, it doesn't work. I get the little hourglass on the start bar, but it quits on me. It doesn't start.

Also, how do you kill a defunct process? I'm using the Sharp ROM.

I'm rather new with the 5500 and I'm running oz, not Sharp. When I ran 'pwmpi' from the command line I got this error:

After installing it, PWM/Pi works.

If there is a console, use 'top' or 'ps' to list processes, then use 'kill' to stop one by pid.

running ps aux |grep vi gives

I then run 'kill 5428' as root. Then I check to see if died(ps aux | grep vi), and nothing has changed. Thoughts?

Also when I run 'pwmpi' from the console, I get the error

I've installed the kmicrokdelibs package, and it still isn't working

try 'kill -9 <pid>'. That should take care of it.

Code: [Select]

$ killall -9 vialso works and is more convenient (don't have to look up the PID first).

Either way, though, the -9 forces a hard kill.  Issuing the command without the -9 just sends a polite request to the application asking it to shut down.  This is preferable if it works, since it gives the app a chance to close files and cleanup first, but if the app is locked up, it doesn't work.

neither of those solutions work. Other ideas? basically the same thing happens, it just stays listed as a process.

Is the process not owned by your normal user for some reason?  Try changing to root (with 'su') and then killing the process.  A normal user can only kill their own processes.

tried that too, same result. I really have no idea as to why this isn't working. I was trying to edit /etc/inetd.conf, and then suspended the Zaurus. Then when it came back up, vim was gone, and the terminal was blank, so I closed the terminal. I'm not new to Linux, so I've tried most of the basic things(I didn't know about the -9 option though).
