Title: Need i18n files off of C7x0
Post by: jagrka on February 23, 2004, 07:28:04 pm

I think some of my .qm files got corrupted when I was testing various addressbook and calendar programs.
Could someone please email me as an attachment the following two files?

/home/QtPalmtop/i18n/ja/datebook.qm
/home/QtPalmtop/i18n/ja/addressbook.qm

Thank You,

I don\'t have these two files on my 760... I\'m running the cacko/qt rom.  The only .qm file I have in that directory is \'sq_camera.qm\'.

The files you are asking for are actually symlinks to the readonly files

/usr/QtPalmtop.rom/i18n/ja/datebook.qm
/usr/QtPalmtop.rom/i18n/ja/addressbook.qm

It is very unlikely that the readonly file have been corrupted, rm the files in /home/QtPalmtop/i18n/ja then re-symlink them

ln -s /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/i18n/ja/datebook.qm /home/QtPalmtop/i18n/ja/datebook.qm
ln -s /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/i18n/ja/addressbook.qm /home/QtPalmtop/i18n/ja/addressbook.qm

Note: this needs to be done as root

Most probably one of the pim packages you tried removed the symlinks and copied their own files into /home/QtPalmtop/i18n/ja/

Many thanks to Stubear! Your advise provided me with the clue to fix my broken addressbook and datebook programs. Although restoring the .qm files alone did not fix them, I extrapolated that I could also symlink the .bin and .so files from the QtPalmtop.rom directory over into my home directory.
For those other new zaurus users out there who might be having problems with their preinstalled Sharp ROM addressbook and datebook after installing other 3rd party software, please note that you can restore these programs to their pristine, original condition by either copying or symlinking the files from the QtPalmtop.rom directory. Thanks again!

Same goes for most of the applets and inputmethods - in fact everything in /usr/QtPalmtop.rom is symlinked to /home/QtPalmtop - although some files may be unlinked by installing new ipks.

You can try out new versions of applets/input methods by deleting the symlink and coping the files into /home/QtPalmtop/plugins/ and can easily \"roll-back\" if necessary.
