Well i really like the simplicity and speed of pdaxrom and it has taken me some time and a lot of switch's back and forth from other roms namely opie before i have been able to work enough out that it is usable and fun
having this machine has been a great impetus to learn more about Linux.
ill post in this thread my progress with: compiling apps, useful tips, and even take suggestions/requests from other members.

Do you know how to make ipks? It's much more convenient for people than a zip file...If you don't know I'd be happy to post a tutorial.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok, i just fixed the "mkipkg" script to solve the following error/problem:
(this is the one i previously suggested downgrading tar for...)
tar: --exclude=CONTROL: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: error exit delayed from previous error
the script is attached to the first post and here's the changes:
original line 124:
tar -C $pkg_dir -cf $tmp_dir/data.tar . --exclude=$CONTROL
new line 124:
tar -C $pkg_dir -cf $tmp_dir/data.tar --exclude=$CONTROL .

[edit out the bit about me switching roms...]
- the calendar and contacts buttons on the slide corespond to ctrl and alt ...
-
sorry to hear it.
-
reading your comment had strangely re-energised me to have another go with frsh gusto, what with the chat scripts generated by gpe gkdial, i figure ive got a better chance of getting my modem working atleast which is what was major factor in leaving this rom...
does any one know of a dialer for pdaxrom ??
gpe was also really annoying me, its way slower and chuggier with cluncks and just trying to install with ipkg take 5-10 times longer, nice to have matchbox though... (being a nube thought it was a pdaxrom thing...)
anyway i recon it would have finished flashing by now...
onto finding some feed for the hungry dog...
oh, and ive also discovered the wonders of text-based email clients and have decided to slow down and have more fun ...
-
Glad to hear you are back at it.
pdaXrom for the clamshells comes with pppdialer. Is that not included on yours, or is that not what you are looking for?
-
it comes with no dialer, but does have pppd in a feed, which imlearning more about, which is good... there is no dialer with the 5500 version, is the source available for the one on clamshell ?? (as i looked into gkdial and wvdial before my last rom flash-out too no avail as they were too much for me and the collies versions)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=158626\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
the sources are available on ibiblio site, but their storage device on which pdaXrom was located on is dead, so have to wait until they buy and install a new one...
the pppdialer application is a QT application and is linked to QT 3.3.5 on the clamshells. The package manager in fact is also a QT app. I am not sure whether the 5500 has a GUI package manager, but I suspect that it does not because the QT library is quite big and by default is even too large to fit on the clamshells' display....
-
no it doesnt have gui , but you can install it, but yes it is way too big, as is sylpheed, so im looking into text based email
found the source for ppdialer: http://www.filewatcher.com/m/pppdialer-0.0...113116.0.0.html (http://www.filewatcher.com/m/pppdialer-0.0.1.tar.gz.113116.0.0.html)
do you think i can compile it and run it ??
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=158628\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Never know until you try.
I believe that Mutt is available for pdaXrom, but I don't know for sure.
-

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=158652\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Yup, it is. I used it for a while.
-
updated the first post with some new apps, such as pine and a 'finished' x11vnc
added a link to 5500 mirror, and here my tip:
in the feed there is a dillo, different version to the "dillo2" pre-installed, this feed version is much better and can actually handle logins and search engines
oh, and embeded devices make great upload/download machine's for at night when your sleeping, no fan, low voltage, and portable.
-
So, how do you install pdaXrom on a Collie? I have looked at earlier posts, but have been unsuccessful in installing it. How are folks installing on to the SD card?
Thanks,
Chris--

Hi there,
All the files needed seem to be at :
[a href=\"ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/pdaxrom/download/1.1.0beta1/Zaurus-5000D-5500]ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions...urus-5000D-5500[/url]
I am doing the install now, all seems good except that mounting local fs [failed] but that make sense as I have only put the initrd and the zImage and booted like that.
Generating a key takes a long while so be patient.
Then I got a command line login and logged as root. no password.
then run startx
then comes a calibrating cross and the gui starts with nothing installed but aterm and dillo2.
I believe the window manager is matchbox.
On the ftp server there are more files, I assume they must be put somewhere on the sd card at boot but not sure what format for the sd card.
Stef
-
first off hello, secondly you can get there
yes, you only get dillo and aterm, when i first put it on i seriously thought something was wrong and i missed some crucial step or my files were corrupt... "how can you do anything with this ! ... " but you soon learn there plenty of binary's (apps) there behind the curtain, and enough to do most things. and before long you love the cli and realize it is better for most things that it can do.
now first off, you need to free up some root space as after fresh install youve got under 100k or so and you can get maybe one app on there, probably not, and will find you can only install a few onto a sd or cf as when ipkg does this it symlinks the contents of the package residing on the media card to the root, which takes up some small space.
(the command df shows space info)
up until now ive been moving as much as possible over to my sd, freeing up to a maximum of 4mb on root which may be too much. there may be a few things you want on root, as i can still boot up without sd inserted (but not into x), and may want an ftp client/server etc, if i want to transfer some photo sd-card photo's to my z etc.... and there is a limit to what you can move of and symlink back as many things are needed before the sd is mounted by boot.
a note in regards to the install; you'd want to have your sd or cf formatted as ext if your gonig to install or compile on it
here is what i move off: /opt /root /var, /usr/X11R6, /usr/share, and /usr/apps
once they are mv'd over you symlink them back, e.g ln -s /mnt/card/opt /opt
(note initially opt doesn't exist, but you should create it and symlink it as it will get created/filled on root soon enough) (another tip, you may want to cp -r (copy) the directories over then delete them once they copy properly to avoid loosing something and having to reflash if the mv fails part way...)
now about editing, vi (editor) doesnt work in x(matchbox) but will outside, this can be reached by not doing startx, using 'killall X' from aterm in x or using ctrl+alt+del, which equates to a collie equivelant of calander+contacts+backspace
if you want a different editor you can install leafpad or vim from the feed, alternatively you can transfer the file onto your computer via card or network and edit it from there.
download this tar ball: (120mb)
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distri...500/feed.tar.gz (http://ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/pdaxrom/download/1.1.0beta1/Zaurus-5000D-5500/feed.tar.gz)
it is all the packages of that main feed and will be extremely usefull, as you just unzip it onto a card, direct your /etc/ipkg.conf to it (by removing/editing the first 1-3 lines of ipkg.conf), and do 'ipkg update'. then you can just install anything from it such as leafpad with : 'ipkg -d sd install leafpad' and it will determine the dependencies automatically and install them.
(a tip, if you edit /etc/ipkg.conf so the sd or cf option is the only one by using # at the line begining regarding root and the other options, 'ipkg install leafpad' will automatically go to sd or cf rather than root without specifying it using -d)
if you prefer not to get the whole feed and download just a few ipk's or have others from elsewhere not incorporated into a feed and it respective 'Packages' file, you can install them with 'ipkg install -d sd package.ipk' or 'ipkg install package.ipk' (if you've mod'd ipkg.conf)
alternatively you can just access the feed directory of the net if you get your z connected, eg ifconfig/iwconfig
if you want to start compiling you'll need make, gcc, and gcc-headers atleast.

Thank you for this information and the work you have put into this. It makes sense now what was happening despite my efforts to install software onto the SD card. I had went back to my flaky hybrid ROM distro, but an now trying it again. pdaXrom is so much faster than the old Sharp-based ROMS and seems to have more usefulness from a development standpoint than most ROMS out there.
Thanks again,

I have a request. The Rotate application an arm5v application and does not install onto the collie. I've noticed that some of the apps look like they are more appropriate for landscape rather than portrait.
By the way, I have pdaXrom up and running nicely. For some reason, some applications do not always start up or starts up slowly. I am in the processes of making a swap file to speed things up.
Thanks,
Chris--

ive noticed it is broke too, perhaps somebody else can help us out... i can compile some, but this may be different...
a swap may help, it does for me with compiling... i feel a good amount of the apps compiled in "that feed" are not suitable for collie due to screen size and specs...
-
Have you tried using xrandr to rotate the screen?
-
Hi,
Thanks for the support, I managed to install and run a nice GUI as well using pdaxrom. I managed to install quite a bit like package manager, leafpad, gcalc, pine etc... Had trouble with others but mainly problems with dependencies.
Thanks again

if you set the full feed on a card and add the location to the /etc/ipkg.conf it will auto install dependencies

21/05/07:
New releases: bcwipe secure eraser, tor anonymizer, aria2 downloader (w/ torrent), and related packages (libxml2, libtasn1, libevent, opencdk).
Also a rebuild of libgcrypt to solve issues brought about by cross compiling, and a fallback to standard naming practice to work with tracking of versions by a "machine's" ipkg/package processes. (ie, dropping the pdaxrom.collie.rcx suffix)
Note: tor isnt much use without privoxy... coming soon, as too image magic, xzgv image viewer, ftpd and maybe even bestcrypt for container encryption...

ssh rules ok ?!

I am amazed at all the packages you have put together. There is one thing I need to make pdaXrom functional for me: I need an updated kopi. I exchange calendar data between my mac and my Z frequently. While syncing does not work, exchanging .ics files do work. kopi 1.78 does .vcs files and kopi 2.2.7 does both .vcs and .ics files.
I have downloaded a vmware image of X86 pdaXrom to see if I can do some development, but my skills are so impoverished that it could take months to do any of package development.

-
no problems, though ill be taking a break soon ...
- the vmware image is the way to go, i downloaded the iso, and cant really use it... so need to download the vmware, but only on dialup so waiting for the right time...
im still finishing of a couple of packages such as privoxy, perl, and imagemagick, but can look into kopi soon, its not too hard though if youve done any building before, if you have any questions just ask.
you need to "install" the crosssdk into the vmware to compile for arm,
then download the source code you need, and follow its install instructions, though youll need to pass some different options to configure more than likely... id been having some problems with linking to dependencies using the crosssdk so ive been compiling natively on my z through ssh on my desktop. slower though... im still to really work out how to get the crosssdk environment set up and working "properly"

i downloaded the kopi source yesterday and had a look, it seems like not the easist to start of with as youll need qmake... im looking into this as there are some other apps im interested in building with qmake.
--i see now, qmake acutally comes with the xsdk, but im now sure that qt is there...

I have a request. The Rotate application an arm5v application and does not install onto the collie. I've noticed that some of the apps look like they are more appropriate for landscape rather than portrait.

Have you tried using xrandr to rotate the screen?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=161557\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
well after downloading the xrandr source and then looking at that, and thinking ... hey maybe my (big) computer had it allready installed and typing in xrandr to find it did... and then thinking, hey maybe my collie allready has it... it did, so i tried it and works well ! no i might check out some of those apps that were unusable from the feed...
usage:
xrandr --help

I tried xrandr a few days ago. The only thing that I do not know is the display parameter. I had though it was 0:0, but it isn't. My usage was #xrandr -d 0:0 -o 2. What commands did you use?
-
I don't have a Collie, but on my C3200 in beta3 I don't need to specify the display as long as X is already started. I use "xrandr -o right" (replace right with normal or left to rotate other ways) and that's it.
Don't know if that will help at all since I don't have a Collie and don't use beta 1, but I think the xrandr syntax should be fairly constant.
[EDIT]I should note that I always use xrandr from an xterm (well, actually gtkterm2 or rxvt since xterm is goofy in beta3).[/EDIT]
-
just as the previous post suggests : xrandr -o left

notes:
#1 ImageMagick,
This is a great program widely used and suitable to the z's small screen, it can
display, edit, resize, manipulate, etc. etc, images from the cli as well as its own
interface, and can also work with perl.
probably doesnt "depend" on them but was built with and would be "happy" with:
*from this feed:
dcraw_8.72_arm.ipk
libexif_0.6.14_arm.ipk
libpng_1.2.18_arm.ipk
libtiff_3.8.2_arm.ipk
libungif_4.1.4_arm.ipk
mpeg2vidcodec_1.2_arm.ipk
*from the pdaxrom.org feed:
libjpeg
librsvg
fontconfig
freetype
#2 An image viewer,
I was planning on compiling xzgv but i cant get past building imlib...
there is however an excellent image/thumbnail viewer in the pdaxrom.org feed:
"gqview", so i will leave this one for now...
#3
Tor/Privoxy,
To start privoxy, you need to add/have a user "privoxy" in group "privoxy",
there's a basic (which is good) guide to this stuff here:
(though it may be possible to run it as another non-root user)
http://www.yo-linux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTut...gingGroups.html (http://www.yo-linux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialManagingGroups.html)
unfortunately the user/group administration commands area bit cut down in beta1,
so it may be easier to do it via the files /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
then at it's simplest execute (as root): # privoxy --user=privoxy /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
the config file this ipk installs has been setup for tor and not to make logs.
After this makes a couple of good remarks such as:
Privoxy(00004000) Info: loading configuration file '/usr/local/etc/privoxy/config':
Privoxy(00004000) Info: Privoxy version 3.0.6
Privoxy(00004000) Info: Program name: privoxy
Privoxy(00004000) Info: Listening on port 8118 for local connections only
it will background and give to the # prompt again... to exit: # killall privoxy
May 29 13:12:22 Privoxy(00004000) Info: exiting by signal 15 .. bye
from here (now that privoxy is running) you can run tor, either as root or adivisably a
non-root user such as privoxy:
To run as user privoxy from root:
# tor user privoxy DataDirectory /privoxy
this will run it as user privoxy and store temp data in /privoxy (which is the user
privoxy's home directory, which has ownership by user+group privoxy
now perhaps privoxy's home directory didnt get made properly and you get this error:
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "/privoxy"
[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
then:
# chown privoxy /privoxy
(this changes ownership of /privoxy folder to user privoxy)
# chgrp privoxy /privoxy
( may not be necessary but sets group ownership to privoxy)
so when all going well you get:
[notice] Tor v0.1.2.13. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.
[notice] Configuration file "/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc" not present, using reasonable defaults.
[notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method epoll. Good.
[notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
[notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit.
[notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit.
[notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit.
[notice] We now have enough directory information to build circuits.
[notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working.
it may take some time to get the last line depending on network load and speed,
but when you do it should be all good to go.
then you can forward your browser or app to privoxy which forwards to tor via
setting your apps proxy to: localhost port 8118 or 127.0.0.1:8118
you can also forward apps directly to tor via socks port 9050 on localhost,
but ive never tried this.
you should also delete any old cookies from before tor usage and disable/avoid
java and active-x
(though not needed, there is an example config script for tor:
/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample )
Tor can be a bit trickier than privoxy to quit, as if you ctrl+z out of it or close its terminal window,
it still hangs in the background, holding its port open and stopping another
instance from starting up:
[warn] Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9050: Address already in use. Is Tor already running?
to shutdown properly: issue
# killall tor (from a spare cli prompt)
if you like to keep the amount of open windows to a minimum try adding:
RunAsDaemon 1 to the startup command of tor to background it like privoxy.

i havent got dillo to work with it yet, i think you need another app such as proxychains
which im looking into now..., there is also a text based browser in the feed,
lynx, probably quite good and then you could try to get opera on... maybe next time...
im also checking out an app named vidalia which is a gui for tor.

** see the first post of this thread for updated hash's
-
well ive allready (since the last update) made some headway and great progress's,
just built and am testing "proxychains" a neat program that can "route" data between tor and any program that may or may not have proxy support, e.g. chat, torrent, dillo !
works well with dillo and no setup, just install, coming soon...
in other news some little tips:
i finally got around to looking into what zgcc-3.4.5.img was and how to use it.... its a developer image that has all your headers, libraries and gcc related stuff plus alot more im not sure about...
beta1 has the code support allready, but it only looks in root (no space there on collie ) and did it before the sd is mounted too...
below is the code i added at the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc just before the last line "exit 0" to solve this.
it searchs your sd card root for the .img and if there mounts it, the first bit of script mounts your swap if you have one too... (edit the path though) this all happens just the collie gets to teh login prompt (run level 5), so you can add other tid-bits too....
(i also have /opt symlinked to /mnt/card/opt)
if [ $runlevel -eq 5 ]; then
#export HOME=/home/root
#/usr/X11R6/bin/startx
# edit the following line to match your swap location
swapon /dev/mmcd/disc0/part2
fi
if [ $runlevel -eq 5 ]; then
if [ -f /mnt/card/zgcc-3.4.5.img ]; then
if [ ! -d /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-sa1100-softvfp ]; then
mkdir -p /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-sa1100-softvfp
fi
mount -o loop /mnt/card/zgcc-3.4.5.img /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-sa1100-softvfp
fi
fi

i also just found/figured out how to auto assign an ip address to my compact flash ethernet before logging in, see here:

Why did you need to symlink /opt? You're not actually putting anything there when you mount the image.

yes, thats right, i figure out the gpa issue was with gtk ...
unfortuanately my host has removed ssh access ;( some peeps were exploiting it...
so i cant check my file integrity after upload so i leave that up to you. (unless i re-download which is tedious due to 28.8k country australia dialup...)
and it also means i cant maintain an updated .tar.gz of the feed, so i have removed to old one as will leave none for now...
well i feel very releived to have sorted out the gpa issue, as now i can run latest release on my desktop puppyos too
upcoming releases hopefully just around the korner: (i finally got qt and kernel sources) ;p
pppdialer/pppconfig
bestcrypt
maybe even kopi

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=162245\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
[revised]
yes, it is better to have /opt symlinked to your media card, (if not necessary)
as you may want to install something there that is most likely too big for the internal such as another toolchain which could sit in /opt/native/arm/xxx ...
whereas the dev image mounts at /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-sa1100-softvfp
