Ubuntu / No Menu Applications Line At Top After Install On C860

« on: February 18, 2009, 12:58:43 pm »

Got Zubuntu installed on my C860 using a Sandisk Extreme 2GB SD card to hold the file system. Boots up to give option to load Zubuntu: only strange thing is that fsck finds errors which it then corrects. Select Zubuntu and after much terminal stuff it returns to option to load Zubuntu. I select that and after terminal stuff it offers a login. I supply root (for user), it complains about alsa files and I enter command startx. It then shows desktop but without menu applications line (at top of screen). So I can't do anything. Help please!

Ubuntu / Zubuntu 1.0 Rc1

« on: February 07, 2009, 04:09:12 pm »

I have a Zaurus C=860.

I put on the first partition of the SD card (which has the first partition as ext2 - I did sudo mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1 after creating this partition - and the second partition as linux-swap) the files extracted (i..e. untarred & unzipped  using my laptop's Ubuntu Extractor) from the zubuntu-desktop root file system. I then copied the extracted files from the appropriate root-addition archive to the extracted zubuntu-desktop directories on my laptop (i.e. the 3 files from the root-addition /boot directory to the zubuntu-desktop /boot directory and the 2.6.26 directory & its files from the root-addition /lib/modules directory to the zubuntu-desktop /lib/modules directory). I copied the resultant file structure to the SD card's first partition.

I flashed the multiboot kernel OK - using a CF card as I presumed that I wouldn't need to do it again.  I got the Omegamoon screen showing the Zubuntu 1.0 distro (as per the instructions). I selected Zubuntu 1.0. The SD card was recognised there was a message 'VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly' and a message stating 'Freeing init memory 84K). Then there was a message 'Warning: unable to open an initial console' and the Zaurus froze.

Help please!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gps App That Actually Works...

« on: April 17, 2008, 05:06:04 am »

Anyone found an gps application that:

1) works with OZ3.5.3
2) works reliably with OZ3.5.3
3) doesn't have major dependencies
4) doesn't require major (or preferably any) compiling/cross compiling

I too tried to find gps app for OZ. I was not succescul, so changed to pdaXii13, and since
QpeGPS has worked fine.

Hi arzqui,

I've got a SL-5500 using kernel 2.4.1.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix and (Hentges) OZ 3.5.4.1 T1. qpegps shows green for gps & gpsd  but 'no GMT signal' (even though gps lines are received on ttyS3). I've used the s/w floating point gpsd from sourceforge with no success. I'm at a loss to know what to do. Can you give me any tips on setup of qpegps with pdaxii3? I've got kismet, wellenreiter &aircrack-ng running OK on Hentges. Do they run OK under pdaxii3?
