Zaurus - pdaXrom / Java In Pdaxrom

« on: November 17, 2006, 04:29:59 am »

Possibly, I downloaded them from the not-tested feed. I'll download again and see if I have better luck.
Thanks

OK, that works! Many thanks for your efforts on this. I have to admit that it's probably too slow for realistic frequent use, but it is a big help to be able to view freemind maps on the zaurus. I will probably have to try to come up with a conversion utility to get my freemind maps into vym format.

Just for information, there seems to be a problem with the file selector dialogue, I can't get it to to change folders. I had the same problem under jamvm1.4.2 and classpath 0.90. I'm not sure whether it just doesn't recognise a double click on the folder icons.

Thanks again

I noticed that jamvm and classpath are in both the not-tested and the standard feed of ULhume.
ULhume, which one is the new one? Maybe mjotad installed the old one?

Yep your right I think, I made clean up on the feeds, the right checksums are :
100759ca03ae785c7af98a60e88fd9f3  feed/not-tested/classpath_0.92_armv5tel.ipk
526cda0c181df24f7eb0bc03c4edb945  feed/not-tested/jamvm_1.4.4_armv5tel.ipk

Possibly, I downloaded them from the not-tested feed. I'll download again and see if I have better luck.
Thanks

No you didn't, it's me. I made too many installs of this and my zaurus was full of rubish. I re-installed pxr (thank's for the emergency sequence :-) from scratch and tested again. No the package should work. You just have to run again a "ipkg install jamvm classpath" in order to refresh your binaries.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I've re-installed jamvm and classpath from your feed and I'm still getting the same error, both with freemind and with jedit.

By the way, what is pxr?

Ok, it works !! I warn you, it is pretty long to start (a lease 1 minute) but it starts. I made a verrrry smal map before shutting it down :-)

I rebuilt jamvm with right path (no more symlinks needed normaly) and classpath with Qt-peering, collections, reflect and xml support. So normally everything is in the box (ipk is 8mb... I have to make splitter rules). the only that is not inside is "Alsa and Midi", any need ?? ;-)

Has I said, I split my feed in stable/non-tested. So classpath/jamvm is here ( http://www.karma-lab.net/zaurus/not-tested/ ).

I appreciate the work you've put in on this. It was slow to start with jamvm1.4.2 and classpath 0.90 so I was expecting that.
I installed the jamvm 1.4.4 and classpath 0.92 from your feed, but I can't get it to recognise the classpath. When I try to start freemind it gives a java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError.
I've set CLASSPATH=/usr/share/jamvm/classes.zip:/usr/share/classpath/glibj.zip:/usr/share/classpath/tools.zip:/usr/share/classpath/collections.jar

Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

The one in my feed is ok but need some rework :
missing symlinks from *.so.1.0.0 => *.so
and need to create a fake /usr/local/classpath path to symlink /usr/share/classpath/lib & bin
But this excepts, it's working. This classpath/Jamvm stuff is just a great piece of software !

Can I ask what version of pdax you used to compile classpath? I looked into compiling classpath 0.92 for pdax beta3 but it seemed as though I would have to upgrade a lot of gtk and other libraries. Do you know if your version should work on beta 3?
Many thanks for the vym ipk. 1.8.1 is much nicer than 1.7! If I can come up with a filter to convert freemind maps to vym I'll be very tempted to change.

I'll try to see is freemind is working with my build of JamVM/Classpath, in the mid-time (I know it is not a solution if you really like freemind), I build vym (View Your Mind) for Zaurus if you are interested.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146231\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Many thanks for trying this. I have vym installed on the Zaurus already and it's a nice program but I have probably fifty mind maps made with freemind which I use regularly and I really don't want to have to try to convert them all, and I also have to share them with colleagues using Windows so the cross-platform nature of Freemind is useful.

daniel3000: yes, I expect that Freemind would be slow on the zaurus (although I don't really find it so on my desktop), but I would plan to use it more to visualise maps made on the desktop than to produce complicated maps on the zaurus itself. I've also tried using the freemind applet with the gcjplugin but I can't get that to load a map either.

I also use outlining (with Tuxcards) but it serves a complimentary role to the mindmaps rather than being a substitute.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Java In Pdaxrom

Hello,

what is currently the best way to install a Java runtime in pdaXrom 1.1.0beta3? Should be stable and as compatible as possible.

Depends on what you need to run. Cortez (make a search) made some nice package of JamVM and Classpath .

As ulhume says, the best way at the moment seems to be to install JamVM 1.4.2 and Gnu classpath 0.90.

I've been trying to get Freemind, a fairly large Java mindmapping program, to work under pdaxrom with the jamvm + classpath combination. I can get it to start up, but not to load files, which I think is because classpath doesn't have xml support compiled in.
I've tried to compile classpath 0.91 with xmlj support enabled but the compile aborts, and since I don't know much about programming in general and zero about java programming I'm stuck.
It's a shame, because if I could get Freemind working then I would have all the important functionality of my desktop duplicated on my Zaurus (C3200 with beta3).

Do any  zaurus java gurus have any suggestions for getting Freemind to work?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gaim Pain

« on: November 09, 2006, 05:33:53 am »

I would be very grateful if you would post this, I don't mind regressing (!) if I can have gchat with msn  I'm interested to know if the memory footprint is smaller than later versions.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=145733\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

As promised, here is an ipk of gaim 1.5.0 compiled against mozilla nss, with gnutls disabled. I've only tested it with jabber (using google talk) and icq. It works fine with those, but I can't vouch for any other protocol. It's been a while since I compiled it and I can't remember exactly which options I enabled/disabled. If you find that there's some feature you desperately need which I've disabled let me know; I still have the source directories for gaim and nss in my zaurus so it should be relatively simple to recompile it with some extra options.

I compiled it on my C3200 running pdax beta 3. I could probably test it on my C760 running beta 1, but I can't make any guarantees about whether it will work on any other machine or pdax version.

Hope it proves useful

there are various versions for beta3, mine works absolutely fine for msn/yahoo/aim except it crashes when I try to configure it for Gmail chat in jabber.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=145667\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I had this problem. I think it's a fault in gnutls which is used to make the secure connection to the server. I compiled a version of Gaim_1.5.0 using mozilla nss and disabling gnutls and it works fine with google talk. I can't vouch for any other protocol as I only use google talk.

If anyone's interested I can post the recompiled version, but it would be in a couple of days when I get back from a business trip.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Fluxbox: The Ultimate Configuration

« on: October 31, 2006, 05:21:35 am »

Anybody figure out the font thing?  I get the same thing.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=145199\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Try switching on anti-aliasing. You'll find it under fluxbox menu - configure. It worked for me and at least one other with the same problem.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Strange Behaviour Of Gnumeric Running Under Fluxbo

« on: October 31, 2006, 04:06:10 am »

I've just started running Fluxbox on my C3200, using Beta3, and I've noticed that gnumeric is behaving weirdly. It won't let me type the number "1"! It recognises all the other number keys but not 1. It also doesn't seem to accept ctrl-c,x,v for copy cut and paste.

gnumeric works perfectly under other window managers (icewm, windowmaker, openbox). And all other applications, such as abiword, seem to work fine under fluxbox. But since I use gnumeric a lot, if I can't fix it then I can't use fluxbox, which is a shame because otherwise it seems to work really well.

I'm using the spitz.modmap as per zi99y's ultimate fluxbox configuration.

Cany anyone point me in the right direction to look for a solution to this? Does gnumeric use it's own keymap or something weird like that?

Thanks....

Glad to be of help!

I'm still having the same problem of rectangles between the letters in Midnight Commander. Anyone have any idea of how to solve this.....?

« on: October 28, 2006, 04:58:09 pm »

I had the same problem, I switched on anti aliasing under the fluxbox menu-configure-antialias and the rectangles disappeared. Now it looks really sweet!

Hope this helps

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.1.0beta1 Is Out!

« on: January 06, 2006, 12:37:12 pm »

Has anyone else noticed worse wifi performance with Beta1? I have a CF wifi card which under beta1 is identified as a Senao SL-2011CD. Under rc12 it showed up as a Farallon Skyline. Now using the hostap drivers the sensitivity is way way down. If I'm not next to the access point it barely detects it. Also power management no longer works. I've tried setting the sensitivity to maximum but it makes no difference.

Is there any way to revert to using the orinoco drivers? I'm using a C760.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

« on: January 06, 2006, 12:28:15 pm »

What's the best way of getting Kapi working in this release?  There are various threads about it.  I got it going in the previous one, but I don't remember how!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=109769\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I've got the kapi that comes with kdepimpi 2.2.3 working with Beta1 (on my C760). You need to symlink all the libmicrokabc*.so files in /usr/lib/ to /opt/kdepimpi. Then it will work ok, but once you start it you need to press ALT+Tab to get the window to appear as it seems to start up minimised.

Hope this helps
