Sharp ROMs / OK, Now the Real New Cacko Qtopia ROM

« on: March 31, 2004, 06:18:58 am »

In possesion of a 4gb micrdrive i tend to listen to music a fair bit on my c760.. i have noticed a few things..

1: I tend to set the cpu speed down to \"Default (PXA250)\" to try and save power.. I notice the touchscreen doesnt respond to input very well at this setting.. Using the volume slider or menus becomes very dificult.. Open ImagePAd and try to draw a streight line accross the shortest axis of the screen! (down in landscape mode or accross in portrait mode).

2: Every so often qpe dies and restarts.. (Mentioned ealrier in this thread i think).

It would be nice to have a player that would read the data off the drive in large (maybe a song) blocks at a time. As it is the drive spins prety much continuosly and so drains the battery quickly.

If nobody can sugest a player that will do this i think i will write one myself whereby a buffer of several meg is filled and then drained till say 20% or so and then filled again.. Hopefully the drive might last a little longer and my battery life increase somewaht too.

[EDIT].. Also that will overide the auto suspend after X minutes.. very annoying whilst in the middle of favorite album!

Sharp ROMs / Getting Wellenreiter Working with New Cacko ROM

« on: March 18, 2004, 09:56:49 am »

It all sounds so easy! But i can\'t make it work.. the trouble i\'m having does\'nt sound remotly like what other people experience either.

First off i\'m unsure on which libpcap..

there seem to be two:

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/stable/...0.7.2-1_arm.ipk

and

http://www.mousebusiness.com/libpcap_0.8.1_aj_arm.ipk

I\'m unsure which to use as somewhere states don\'t use openzaurus build which the first one evidently is. But then i read to install libpcap0 which the second one isnt (or perhaps it is?) anyway i\'ve tried both.

the first (libpcap0_0.7.2-1_arm.ipk) doesnt install

# ipkg install libpcap0_0.7.2-1_arm.ipk

zcat: libpcap0_0.7.2-1_arm.ipk: not in gzip format

zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file
ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking control.tar.gz from libpcap0_0.7.2-1_arm.ipk


so I assume the second is correct.


# ipkg install libpcap_0.8.1_aj_arm.ipk
Unpacking libpcap...Done.
Configuring libpcap...Done.
ldconfig: File /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libopiemm2.so.1.8.1 is too small, not checked.

The file /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libpcap.a now exists.

I downladed the only ipk\'s for Wellenreiter (+ libs) that i can find can find:

http://www.vanille.de/feed/sharp/libopie1_...30718.1_arm.ipk
http://www.vanille.de/feed/sharp/libopie2_...30718.2_arm.ipk
http://www.vanille.de/feed/sharp/opie-well...0030718_arm.ipk

And installed em.

now i try to launch and get this:

wellenreiter: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.7: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

so did:

ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libpcap.a /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libpcap.so.0.7

When i try to launch as root i got:

Qt/Emebedded data directory no owned by user 0
Aborted

So i set qpe to run as root instead of as zaurus. and restarted.

With qpe now running as root i can launch wellenreiter and find the interface eth0 (hostap_cs driver)

However when i press start the app dies with the following error in the konsole:

wellenreiter: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libopienet2.so.1: undefined symbol: pcap_open_live

Also sometimes when i start the app the screen goes white with themessage \"please wait...\" and the app comes up portraint in a low resolution. I have no idea what determines whetehr it starts in this state or the normal state.

Any ideas what i might be missing would be much apreciated.

Thanks

Dan
