Anyone had luck geting a vnc viewer working? Been trying to get the Opie-Keypebble version installed to no avail.
I must say I\'m a bit dissapointed - purchased the Z mainly to run Kismet / Ethereal / VNC. So far I\'m 0-3...
-
Maybe you should have done some research first? I use VNC TO my Z not vice versa so I haven\'t had that problem, plus I chose a C series. I\'m sure Keypebble has been working on mine, did you know that it worked on a 6000 for fact?
-
Man.. that previous post sure knows how to make somebody feel good!
The kernal has only recently been released, and due to the demand of those 3 apps, I hope it\'s only a matter of time until some hardcore hacker takes an interest gets those apps running for all us little people.
Any hardcore hackers out there up for a challenge?
-
I\'m afraid it is gonna take some time. Many people who plan on getting the 6000 are holding out for a different version (wifi + bt?). And then there is that group of us who can\'t picture buying anything other than a clamshell.
-
I am using VNC (Keypebble) on a retail 6000 to run a retail 5600 (SDG Systems FBVNC). Is this what you mean? I\'ll try to attach a pic... - Ian.

I use keypebble vncviewer on my 6000 and it works great. First do a soft reset, next install lib opie from the oz stable sharp feed and vnc. Good luck. I also think people should stop putting down users for asking questions because that\'s what this forum is for.Mabye YOU should have done some research first

I run Keypebble on my 5500, works fine

Got kismet working on my 6000.
-
Ooops! my bad! :oops:
Didn\'t realise I sounded that terse, I write as I speak, sorry.
I meant if you (origial poster) bought a 6000 specifically for 3 apps, it may have been wise to verify all the required apps ran on the hardware you chose beforehand, well that\'s what I\'d do. That\'s what I meant, but I like I say, I\'m sure I had it working with my 860 as supplied by my importer, in which case it **should** work with a 6000.
HTH YMMV

Got kismet working on my 6000.
How?
-
What is the problem with your kismet. I installed 3.01c-20031228 and kismet qt gui. Works fine as long as you set up your network to be ad hoc with no wep any channel with a bogus static ip scheme. The only problem I had was figuring out how to set up the network. I also installed wireless-tools 24, not sure if this was necessary.
-
Change kismet.conf source to:
source=prism2,wlan0,prism2source

None taken - been around the net too long to get my knickers in a knot on a fourum. Truth be told I sounded a little stinky about the 6k too...
Posts on this thread have me hopeful.
Still cannot get lib opie to install. Can you point me to a source that you know works? The one I\'ve got is from http://www.openzaurus.org/official/stable/feed/ (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/stable/feed/) Can\'t get the package manager to recognize it.
I\'ve been slaving with a 2.8 version of Kismet. I\'ll find the 3.0.1 build and start over as well.
Thanks much!

I am pretty sure that is where I got it from.
Any way to tell via console to be sure??
-
yes, that looked like the right place to get the version of kismet you have, though whe i installed it the installer software hinted that there were some package dependencies. What else do I need to install? You also said you have the qt kismet gui, what version and do you remember where you got it? Sorry for the barage of questions, just would like to get kismet working
-
I am having a problem getting kismet to work too. When kismet (3.0.1c from the link above) fires up it complains that it can\'t find libcap.so.0.7. I tried to install libpcap0_0.7.2-1_arm.ipk from several diffent sources and it tells me that it is not a gz file (must be for Open zaurus I guess). I have also tried to install libpcap_0.8.1_aj_arm.ipk so that I could maybe link it back to libcap_0.7.2. It installs fine but then I cant find any of the installed files (using \'find / -name *pcap*\'). Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or where I can get a valid version of libpcap?
EDIT: I also tried kismet after I installed wireless-tools 24... still doesn\'t work.
-

:-) I\'ll install it today too, just for the novelty of seeing KDE running thru my Z.
You\'ll get there, all good things...
-
That sounds familiar. I think I got my libpcap from the zug feed. A find on my zaurus shows a symlink at /home/QtPalmtop/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zaurus qpe 16 Jan 1 05:13 libpcap.so.0 -] libpcap.so.0.7.2. I may have put that symlink in there manually.
I found this libpcap file on my pc and uploaded it to the web. Maybe try it. It\'s avail here http://members.cox.net/skoorb/libpcap0_0.7.2_arm.ipk (http://members.cox.net/skoorb/libpcap0_0.7.2_arm.ipk)
I should have paid more attention to what I had to do to install kismet.
-
That did it, It\'s working like a charm. Thanks for the help!
BTW I didn\'t have to put the symlink in manually.

Thanks, with that, the libpcap, and libstdc++ (from http://zaurus.xavierxeon.de/devel/gcc/libs....1-2-2.10.0.so) (http://zaurus.xavierxeon.de/devel/gcc/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so)) was able to get Kismet working on my SL-6000 as well.
Interestly enough, in the text based interface the keyboard keys (just as h, and Q) don\'t work. I have to ^C to quit Kismet. Using the Kismet Qt GUI everything works fine.
Thanks for the tips, and pointers!

Where did you put libstdc? Did you link it to another name?
(yes I\'m keeping copious notes for a HOWTO btw...)
-

(yes I\'m keeping copious notes for a HOWTO btw...)
The Short answer is /usr/lib :
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 -] /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so
The longer answer is I have 2 types of apps, ones I can\'t live without (such as terminal), and all the others I put on my SD card. Since Kismet won\'t let me install on the SD card, I put as much as possible on the SD card, like this library. Kismet 3.0 was asking for this library by another name (libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3) so creating the link seemed be a natural solution to both problems (new name, and stored on the SD card).
Let me know when you post your How-To, I\'d like to compare it to my notes.

Wow.. you guys really know your stuff!
Kinda hard for a newbie to follow too much of this thread.. any chance of someone posting a HOW TO in the near future?

The keboard doesnt work with that kismet becasue it was compiled without panels support. Kismet works as expected if you compile kismet_client with panels support, but its 11 megs vs only 500k for the ncurses only version...
-
<dhoh!> (slapping head) I tried to create a link last night - In my late night frustration didn\'t notice that I blew the command. Typed it correctly tonight and bang! I\'m war-walkin...
I will sit here right now and write the first pass at the howto so I don\'t forget or put it off... THANK YOU everyone that plinked away at this!

Let me know if I missed/messed/misspelled please!
I will most likely put all of those packages on a website of my own as well however I will soon be changing hosting providers so it will hardly pay at this point.
Thanks again!

Well I figured that out when I changed the kismet_ui.conf to panels. But my old Kismet (2.4.6) on my SL-5500 works in Cursors mode just fine. So I assumed this one would as well. Perhaps there is something else not compiled in.
It isn\'t really an issue, I was just used to the text based interface, but since the GUI works I get to learn something new! :-)
Thanks to all for pulling all the pieces together. I look forward to seeing the How-To as well.

Looks Great!
A couple of comments. I prefer to make symbolic links rather than hard links, only because it is easier to figure out what is linked to what with a \"ls -l\" Certainly the hard link will work just fine
Second, I didn\'t have to do any resets (soft or other wise) in my installation. I don\'t think any should be necessary.
Lastly, I set up my Kismet QT to run as root. With the Sharp ROM an error message \"Can\'t Connect to Server\" will appear if not run as root.
Really Lastly, you may want to explain why a ad-hoc network profile has to be setup. The reason is, for those who don\'t know, the network applet will time out after not finding an AP to join. Setting the network to Ad-Hoc means the Z is now an AP, and it will not time out.
Great Stuff! It would be nice if these packages to be hosted on this site, just in case the other sites disappear.

I set the panels version of kismet_client to use curses and the keyboard didn\'t work with it either. Maybe its because I\'m using the built in ncurses (v4.2) instead of ncurses5. Anyway it works when set to panels so I\'m happy. The QT GUI lacks some stuff, especially if your using a gps with kismet.

I'm looking for the keypebble vncviewer, but cannot find it. The download links on this page: http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=186 (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=186) are broken. Google searches bring me no joy either. Anyone have a pointer for me?

Looks like 1.0.1 is depricated.... try this one:
http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus/...e_1.0.3_arm.ipk (http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus/1.0.3/opie-keypebble_1.0.3_arm.ipk)
Haven't tried it as 1.0.1 works for me.
-
Thank you for the pointer to the 1.0.3 version.
Unfortunately, the installer on my SL-6000L refuses to install it. While I can verify that the file is in the proper location (same place I've installed many apps in the last 48 hours), the installler doesn't even see it. Using another techique, double tapping the ipk in the file manager, the installer app opens but then does not install the app. Again, it doesn't even show in the list of ipk files in the install_files directory.
got a pointer to the 1.0.1 file anywhere?

I finally found the keypebble that works for the 6000 after hours of google search. It's old 1.0.0 version for sharprom that was removed from the opie website. It works great. I don't know why they removed this version from the opie website and do not give us the new one. Since it works I don't have any complaint. If anyone need it just send me an email. Thanks.

Hi,
Can anybody point me to where I can find the keypebble vncviewer for sharp rom version 1.0.0. I believe this is the stable release but its not on the feed anymore.
Thanks in advance.

old working version of Keypebble needed, anybody? TIA

Stupid question, I can't get keypebble (above) to connect to the VNC server,
I tried to put the following IP into the "host name" of Keypebble, but it complains about "can't find host"
192.168.192.1
192.168.0.4 (win XP home, local LAN IP)
Anything I need to configure on the server (win XP) side? (btw, I used RealVNC 4.0, server service mode, default setting)
-
xjqian - what's your subnet mask set to? If it's a regular ol' 255.255.255.0, those two devices won't see each other. It it's 255.255.0.0 or better you should be good though.

Hi xjqian,
were you able to get around your problem? If you did would you let me know what you did? I seem to be having a similar connection issue, though I am working through a wireless add-hoc network.

lek,
no, I can't get it to work even manually configured. I don't have much time to play with it though. please let me know if you have any luck with it.
Btw, I'm a little confused though, do I need to type in the IP? As if I use my Zaurus as a VNC server, on my desktop side, I only need to provide the host name "zaurus".

Hi xjqian, Thanks for getting back to me.
If you are on a network, and you are connecting using the network, then the name "zaurus" would need to be in the DNS with a specific IP address. If "zaurus" is not in the DNS you should use an IP address from the network you are using. Is it on a private (non routeable) network that you have set up (in which case give yourself an additional IP address. You can setup your own DNS later), or an office/university LAN/WAN? You may need to have the local admin give you a routeable IP address for you zaurus, and have him/her put the IP in the DNS.
Cheers,

Yes, I suppose so. I am afraid that I do not know that much about the way MS Windows is srtuctured, or whether it has a host file as a UNIX box would. Most of my work has been with FreeBSD (and some Linux.)
Yes, that would certainly work.

hi xjqian,
i was finely able to get the opie-keypebble to work with my "Real VNC4." i have the "Real VNC" on an "XP" box (not my favorite OS) and I can see it on my z6kl. The issue seems to have been a password issue. I did not want to use one while I was running the tests, but the "Real VNC" seems to want one.
now I am trying to get the XP box to display the z6kl...
cheers,

I am trying to run vnc with the vnc server running on another Linux box and the connection must be made thru a ssh tunnel.
I started the vncserver on my-server on port 5910. Then, on the Z6K I opened the tunnel with: ssh -L 5901:localhost:5910 my-user@my-server, it enters into a shell session on my-server.
Finally, I started the vncviewer on the Z6K and connected to localhost display 1 issuing the password previously set with vncpasswd on my-server into the my-user account.
I am not getting any error message on the client side, but nothing else happen then a blank background.
On the server side, the log file fo vnc doesn't return any errors either and end saying client 127.0.0.1 is gone.
What am I doing wrong?
-
Thanks lek for all your suggestions. I set up the password but still no go for me. I think the problem must be the result of my shallow network knowledge. I promised myself dedicating a weekend to tackle it down. But not before 2/8. I'll describe my problem later from a clean slate.

Hi Xjqian,
if you have not yet ironed out your DNS issues, perhaps you should just use IP addresses, and worry about using "names" later.
Keep it simple

OK, I managed to make VNC working thru a ssh tunnel. However, I need to use 8-bits depth, seems higher values don't work properly. I can start my VNC server with any depth, but the client must be set to request 8-bits depth to work properly.
Anyone is having this problem as well and managed to solve it?

server side: laptop XP home, 1280x1024 res 32bit color, firewall off (if that matters), RealVNC 4.1 service mode (192.168.129.1). Default setting with password
client: opie-keypebble 1.0.0 Default setting (default set: request 8-bit session, scale factor 1) with password
Click "OK". at the bottom of my Z screen, says "Connected" but nothing happened afterwards. I've never used VNC on Z before, so what should I expect? Is this normal? Any hidden buttons I should click?

Hi xjqian, have you had any luck?
Sorry about the slow responce, but the local telecomm here in Addis, has been "upgrading" their system... I have been without Internet acess for a while...
With the server, I recall having to tell it to accept the remote connection.
the settings on my z6kl are as follows:
Data Encoding section.
Check for Screen updates every: 50 Milliseconds.
[checked] Request 8-bit session.
[checked] Raise on bell.
[unchecked] Request shared session.
Connection section.
I have nothing checked.
Connect to VNC Server.
Hostname: [using an ip rather then resolving a name]
Display Number: 0
Password: xxxxx
let me know how it goes.

Hey xjqian,
did you try connecting the Zaurus to the XP box using the wireless in Add-Hoc mode. This way you are connecting them directly together, rather then going through a router of some sort. You may be suffering from some type of signal issue.

Waiting for server version ... [and hangs]
Seems the vnc server (RealVNC 4.1.1) in my XP box having problem.
I installed TightVNC instead. And it works like charm.

It should be some configuration problem. You'd better put your Z's ip address into RealVNC server's accessible list. I can connect to my XP machine running RealVNC and tightVNC without any problem. You can first did a quick check for your serve configuration by enabling your loop test.

did you try connecting the Zaurus to the XP box using the wireless in Add-Hoc mode. This way you are connecting them directly together, rather then going through a router of some sort. You may be suffering from some type of signal issue.
Cheers,
lek

Thanks for the patience. I find the problem by issuing "keypebble" in the command line, I got
Connected, logging in...
Waiting for server version ... [and hangs]
Seems the vnc server (RealVNC 4.1.1) in my XP box having problem.
I installed TightVNC instead. And it works like charm.

Sounds like the problem I may have just fixed ([a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18113&hl=]see this thread[/url]). If you have a Sharp style ROM you could try this ipk. (http://www.timwentford.uklinux.net/teakettle_0.2_arm.ipk)

OK, I managed to make VNC working thru a ssh tunnel. However, I need to use 8-bits depth, seems higher values don't work properly. I can start my VNC server with any depth, but the client must be set to request 8-bits depth to work properly.
Anyone is having this problem as well and managed to solve it?

This sounds like the same problem, too. Please feel free to try my ipk and, if you do, I'd like to know how you get on.

This is an appeal to 6000 users to try out TimW's VNC(teakettle).
I've tried it, and am getting an error when trying to connect.
The details and ipk are in the Software section.
Thanks in advance!

I said I'd attach the plain exe in case it was an installation error but the forum software won't let me. I gzipped it and then it let me attach the gzipped version.
So if you can get it onto you zaurus and unzip it, then it mught be worth a try.

Still getting the same error. I was planning on setting up a compiling environment on my system anyway, could you put up the source somewhere (or email me?) and I can try compiling it.
-
Here is the source.
It is a little different to the 0.5 ipk as I've added the option to rotate to 0,90,180,270 degrees since that release.
I'm experimenting with drawing the tiles the correct size to start with so that there is no resizing of bitmaps to do. I haven't finished that but I think I've taken all of it back out and got it to a reaonably stable state.
I use the .pro file to build for qvfb on my laptop, .zpro for Sharp ROMs and .opro for opie builds. They each produce a Makefile, ZMakefile and OMakefile resp. The opie stuff is a bit ad hoc since I've broken my opie build environment (actually it got out of date and I'm on dial-up so I haven't been able to get it properly up to date).
Let me know if you need any help to get it to build (timwentford AT hotmail DOT com).
One thing has occured to me which could be part of the trouble. I cheat with zlib and just use the version embedded in liibqte rather than an external one (you need to copy (IIRC) zconf.h and zutil.h to the zaurus includes directory). This doesn't work on opie because zlib isn't embedded into qte for opie builds - maybe something like that happens on the 6000? If opie-reader works on the SL6000 it is unlikely though, since I do the same trick there.

I think I've found the problem. You *must* give the server a bookmark name. This is the bottom-most box on the "Server" tab.
I'll put a fix in that allows "anonymous" connections in the next release but in the meantime, just give the bookmark a name.
-
I've posted a new ipk on the other thread. I'm assuming that this isn't an SL6000 specific problem any more so I'll concentrate on the other thread again unless you tell me otherwise 8^).

You are correct...
But now I have no burning issue for which to set up the compiliing environment.
Thanks bunches for your work.
