OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Need Packages default conf

« on: April 25, 2004, 11:45:18 pm »

I was messing with the config and forgot to back it up  :oops: . I tried reversing the changes I made and no luck. So hopefuly if someone has the default config I can just load it into my Z and be on my way.

SL-5500
OZ 3.3.5

I just tried updating the ROM on the Z SL-5500. I downloaded the correct file version. I followed the procedure to the letter.

I have tried flashing with OZ but all I get is the Sharp logo and a blinking cursor.

I\'ve searched ZUG, google, sharp and can not find a solution to the error.

*sigh* I thought the zaurus would be wonderful, oh well. I have only had this thing for two days. I have decided to sell it and get the Dell Axim PocketPC. A long time ago I a Philips Nino and it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I\'ve never had a PDA crash on me until a bought a Handspring Visor, and now this zaurus (which crashes even more).

I intended to use the Z for wireless audits. Kismet is nice but MiniStumbler does a far better job. Hence the PocketPC choice. Also PcketPC just syncs. I don\'t have to do anything other than install the software.

Maybe linux should be relegated to server implementations. That\'s the only positive experience I\'ve had with it so far.

I have 3.1 on the Z. To my knowledge that\'s the lattest stable release. I guess I should try it on my Sony Vaio laptop. I\'ll give that a shot tomorrow and report back in this thread.

Okay I fired up trusty ethereal on the XP box connected to the zaurus. You can download it http://stevew.twinfirs.com/cap.txt

From what I gather my XP box and the Z see and talk with eachother (isn\'t that nice). However when I attempt to sync I see:

Src: 192.168.129.1
Dst: 192.168.129.201

Refresh NB WILSON01<1d>

Src: 192.168.129.201

I hate it when I do this but...

I\'m having the same issue. Slightly different setup though.

What I have:
Windows XP Pro SP1
SL-5500 3.1 ROM

I have tried both qtopia desktop and intelli sync.
I can ping the Z through the cradle (192.168.129.201).
If I load openSSH server to the PDA I can browse files via SCP and SSH command line. Both through my wlan and cradle.

So as far as I know everything is working and I think I\'m just missing something. The documentation from sharp is a little worthless IMO. I have searched through ZUG but all the posts are about sync partially working. We here can not sync at all
