Zaurus - pdaXrom / Sd Card Stops Working On Suspend.

« on: March 14, 2007, 04:18:27 am »

I'm still relatively new to this...  That being said, I'm running a C1000 with beta3 in Rox.    I started noticing that libraries from /mnt/user weren't linking after a reboot.  This wasn't a big deal as I just relinked them manually on reboot.  Now, when the zaurus suspends, the SD Card stops working.  I have to manually umount and mount it again to get it to work.  Could anyone tell me either how to fix this or where the config file is that controls mounting and unmounting on suspend?  Thanks!

Any help on this would really be great.  I've got a bunch of packages installed on the ext3 formatted SD card and they don't run upon resuming from suspend.  Any help, even how to append the suspend/resume scripts would be helpful.  I'm getting ready to reflash but I don't feel comfortable doing that without knowing why it's happening (as it might just happen again).  Please help!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Smplayer

« on: March 08, 2007, 04:12:08 am »

Hi everyone.  I've had my C1000 for about a year now, but have been using cacko until recently.  I'm now running beta 3 and loving it.  Everything works great except for smplayer/mplayer/oss mixer.  The problem is that whenever mplayer is using the -ao ss extension (as indicated by http://www.thesounddesign.com/zaurus/beta3.htm) the sound doesn't work.  Video runs choppy without it, so the simple solution of not using -ao ss isn't feasable.  I'm running mplayer-bvdd-iwmmxt 1.1.5-1, but the problem happens on multple versions.  When I run mixmos, it returns that it cannot open the mixer device.  Please help.  Let me know what you need and I'll get it.  Thanks for the help :-)

I resolved this... turns out -ao ss is a typo for -ao oss (makes sense now).  I also changed the audio driver from mad to oss in smplayer.  Now all is right with the world.  I did learn some things though.  Live, learn, and try not to break to many things along the way.

Also ensure that you're mounting as root, although if you're not having any sudo errors, you're probably already root

John,

don't forget the -o options.  They may help.

smbmount //box/share /mount/point/ -o username=YouUserName password=YourPassword

btanoue
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=133838\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Just tried this and got:  Unrecognised characterset 866

Am I missing a dependency?

I get that too, however, it still mounts.  It seems to me that the smbmount included in the distro has that problem.

Thanks, I didn't try using smbmount... I was attempting mount -t smbfs, which, of course, doesn't work with cacko.

I'm running cacko 1.23 on a C1000.  I've tried installing a few different smbmount packages but can't get it to actually mount anything.  I'm familiar with how smbmount should work, but I keep getting invalid argument error messages.  Does anybody know where I can find a version of smbmount that works, it's dependencies, and any quircks that might be involved in installing?  

Thanks,
John

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Problems With 1.1 Beta 4 And Usb Utility

« on: June 27, 2006, 11:19:53 am »

"modprobe devinfo" or "modprobe deviceinfo" (do not remember now) will give that /proc/deviceinfo/ stuff
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=133010\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

FATAL: Module deviceinfo not found.

Same on both counts.  Anyone figure this out yet?  Thanks for helping out

You were right.  After remapping to /proc/cpuinfo, it works like a charm.  For the C1000, modify /usr/bin/usbfunction.py

Change
f = open("/proc/deviceinfo/product","r")
to
f = open("/proc/cpuinfo","r")

Thanks for your help InSearchOf

Actually, upon further investigation, this solution doesn't really work.  It allows the utility to open, but at least on mine, it does not work as a storage device.  By the looks of the code, it appears to be written for the 3100.  If anyone figures this out, let me know.

Thanks,
John

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Enlightenment Dr17 - Cvs

« on: June 26, 2006, 03:07:27 pm »

So yeah,  still new to this and I tried loading this on the beta 4 release.  I ran into trouble after I thought I was being slick by creating a separate user to use e17.  Bottom line is, I messed up and no longer have the original .xinitrc or /usr/bin/fbpanel-session  .  Could someone please post the original .xinitrc for beta 4?  I'll be more careful in the future.  

Thanks,
John

Okay, I've got a little more information on this.  Error messages include:

  File "/usr/bin/usbfunction.py:, line 6, in ?
     class usbconfig:
  File "/usr/bin/usbfunction.py:, line 11, in usbconfig
     f = open("/proc/deviceinfo/product","r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/deviceinfo/product'

I checked and there is no deviceinfo in /proc.  I hope this helps.

Thanks again!

First off, I'm brand new to all of this.  I love my zaurus and I just came off of cacko.  I've got a C1000 and beta 4 running.  Has anyone else had problems with the usb utility?  I can't get it to open, and when I usb connect to my main computer, there's no recognition that my zaurus is a mass storage device.  Is there a command line interface for chaning how zaurus plays with usb hosts?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John
