Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Firefox and OZ 3.5.1

« on: October 01, 2004, 03:37:36 pm »

anybody manage to get firefox running under an OZ 3.5.1 release image?

first it appears that minimo needs to be added to the list of depends for firefox?  after `ipkg install firefox -d sd' and trying to run firefox i got an error message the the mozilla runtime couldn't be found.  so i installed minimo `ipkg install minimo -d sd' and that fixed that error message, but led to another one.

seems like the SD install of both of those packages should have symlinked /mnt/card/usr/lib/firefox-blah to /usr/lib/firefox-blah (and same thing for minimo) but that's not my problem because i made those two by hand.  when i launch firefox (or at least try to) i get the following error:

run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/firefox-0.9.3/firefox-bin.

which makes sense because there is no firefox-bin in /usr/lib/firefox-0.9.3/ or anywhere else on the system for that matter.  that dir is really just a symlink to /mnt/card/usr/lib/firefox-0.9.3 anyway.  did someone forget to put the binary into the package maybe?

Linux Issues / Fedora Core 2 hotplug fix

« on: May 27, 2004, 04:07:47 pm »

There\'s been a change to /etc/hotplug/net.agent in Fedora Core 2.  in Red Hat 9/Fedora Core 1 there was only a register function to register a hotplug device with the system, unregistering it was your responsibility.  now there are both register and remove|unregister functions, so following the HowTo instructions will result in the modules not being unloaded after removal of the Zaurus from the cradle, and subsequently they will not be recognized by hotplug on a reinsertion to the cradle.

instead of trying to explain my changes, here is a link to my current /etc/hotplug/net.agent file:

General Discussion / OZ why cant I see the attraction?

« on: February 07, 2004, 01:26:50 am »

saiten: you never did say what about OZ you don\'t like.

i installed OZ 2 weeks after i got my Zaurus and i\'ve never had a Sharp ROM on since.  OZ does everything i want it to, and there\'s nothing i want it to do that it can\'t. (ok pptp with a working mppe would be nice)

what about OZ is it that \"leaves you cold\"?

General Discussion / sprint or verizon phone and c7x0?

« on: February 07, 2004, 01:08:11 am »

i\'ve got Sprint PCS (Vision service) with an LG5350 and have no problems getting a connection with my Zaurus (5500).  using OZ3.2, i just installed 3.3.5 but i haven\'t check to see if that works yet, don\'t see why it shouldn\'t.

i don\'t think Sprint sells this phone anymore (maybe this is why?).

Linux Issues / Replace usbdnet with usbnet

« on: December 12, 2003, 05:44:43 pm »

hope you haven\'t given up totally yet, try blacklisting the undesired modules:

echo CDCEther ]] /etc/hotplug/blacklist
echo acm ]] /etc/hotplug/blacklist

i run RedHat only (Fedora now) and have built and connected several boxes with my Z, let us know if you have further problems/issues.
