Zaurus - pdaXrom / Suspend Problems, Poss Solution
« on: August 11, 2005, 05:24:54 pm »
this solution worked nicely with rc10 and my c860. X froze after every suspend because the clock changed back x days upon resume.

my solution was to load ntpdate through a startup script and add sethwclock:
Code: [Select]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpdate
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/S65ntpdate - Start the inetd daemon(s).
#

# Comment out the following exit line to enable this script.
# exit 0

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

CLIENT="/usr/bin/ntpdate"
TIMESERVER="-b -u pool.ntp.org"

case "$1" in

    start)
        msg -n "Starting ntpdate:"
        exec $CLIENT $TIMESERVER 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
        exec sethwclock -systohc
        msg
       ;;

    stop)
       ;;

    restart)
        $0 stop
        sleep 1
        $0 start
       ;;

    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 (start|stop|restart)"            
        exit 1
       ;;

esac    

exit 0

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Python Under Rc9 Problem
« on: April 23, 2005, 06:53:34 pm »
does anyone know how i can extract the contents of the original image (initrd.bin or zImage.bin) on my linux box? i have a feeling pygtk in the feed is different than what's included in the kathrin-rc9.zip and short of reflashing woud like to compare.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Python Under Rc9 Problem

ah yes, good question. i just tried both methods and get the same problem.

method 1:
ipkg install python-core
ipkg install pygtk (which installed prerequisites: python-codecs, python-dbus, python-fcntl, python-stringold, python-xml)

method 2:
ipkg install python
ipkg install pygtk (which installed prerequisites: python-codecs, python-core, python-dbus, python-fcntl, python-stringold, python-xml)

result with both methods:
# lightnpower.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lightnpower.py", line 344, in ?
    powersettings = powersettings()
  File "/usr/bin/lightnpower.py", line 68, in __init__
    import gtk
  File "/home/sash/pdaXrom-builder/build/pygtk-2.4.1/ipkg_tmp/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 33, in ?

first off, amazing job with pdaXrom!

my problem is related to pygtk and the light&power app. to make a long story short, i had to uninstall all the python related packages and reinstall. i'm now getting the following startup error from lightnpower.py:

# lightnpower.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lightnpower.py", line 344, in ?
    powersettings = powersettings()
  File "/usr/bin/lightnpower.py", line 68, in __init__
    import gtk
  File "/home/sash/pdaXrom-builder/build/pygtk-2.4.1/ipkg_tmp/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 33, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject.so: undefined symbol: g_assert_warning

any ideas?

ok, so i'm about to repartition the root. i don't see any way through the service menu so i guess i'll have to use the cacko updater.sh. is setting it to 64 what it was to begin with?

EDIT: gosh, nevermind. cacko's updater had 50 as the default value. thanks.

note, this is after using cacko rom which instructed me to repartition the root to 27. would this have anything to do with it?

Try without renaming the images, and if that doesn't work, use the updater from 3.5.2 (with renamed images)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=75037\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

hmm, tried both but unfortunately no go.

here's what i see during the flash:

screen 1:
***********************************
<sharp logo with japanese text just below it>
INIT: version 2.78 botting
modprobe: Can't locate module devinfo
INIT: entering runlevel: 5
***********************************
screen 2:

Rebooting the system....
***********************************
screen3:
***********************************
splash screen which has the picuture of the girl and "
  • OpenZaurus w/ Kernel 2.6
  • " to the right of it with the blue bar running the length of and just below the preceeding text.

***********************************

screen3 is where it hangs. i don't see any informative messages so i can't say where it froze.

hope this helps...

Did you follow the INSTALL instructions? Which blue bar are you talking about? You are not trying to use this from diagnostics menu or are you? I recommend using the standard 'reboot while holding OK' menu.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=75038\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
yep, i followed the INSTALL instructions. the blue bar that appears just after the 'rebooting' message, the one with the girl picture. and yes, the reflash option i used was the OK button while hitting the on button.

immeditaly after post flash reboot, OZ hangs during the boot screen.

i performed the following steps:
1. mv updater.sh to /mnt/cf/updater.sh
2. mv opie-image-c7x0-20050411221036.rootfs.img to /mnt/cf/initrd.bin
3. mv zImage-c7x0-20050411221036.bin /mnt/cf/zImage.bin
4. reflash

the blue bar (which i assume is a progress bar) remains mostly blue with a sliver of red on left while cursor blinks in upper left corner.

any ideas?
