Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Installing Apps on OZ

« on: June 12, 2004, 08:51:17 pm »

Gah, my SD got corrupted.. I/O errors on most of the files.  I had formatted it ext2 initially- but fsck couldn\'t see the superblock. must have been really damaged.  so i fdisk\'d it, and it was listed as FAT, I deleted it and made a new ext2 part.  It\'s acting fine so far and I\'ve reinstalled everything I lost.  Hope I don\'t have that problem again as I\'ve seen some on here deal with.

Aside from that, i\'m happy to have a working, stable installation of OZ!

(it\'s a Kingston 128mb.  anyone have good/bad luck w/them ?)

cool.. so I took the 3.3.6pre1 + opie 1.1.4 setup someone on here provided, and flashed that.  then I installed that opie-update-symlinks app from the opie 1.1.3 feed.. installed the compat libs from from spy.org. opie-sh to root, oz-compat and oz-compat-opie to sd.  is it a correct assumption that when installing pkgs from the cmdline with ipkg, you have to run ipkg-link for it to ever actually be added to the desktop?  is this something aqpkg does automatically? just wondering..

I\'ve figured out little bits. i\'ve got the compat libs working I think.  this is the most stable my zaurus has been, and I\'m installing apps to SD and it seems to be going ok.  / isn\'t filling up but i do only have 548kb left

now I just need vnc viewer and server..

I figured out my problem, after editing wireless.conf in /etc/pcmcia everything is functioning WLAN wise.  My wireless router is selective about ESSID and whatnot, so w/out specifics it wasnt gonna find it.  I suppose this opie just doesnt have the extra config apps for it like previous ones? I had tried to reinstall pkgs earlier and ended up digging around by hand... i can say, i feel a lot better on the 5500 keypad already and it\'s not a hassle much anymore.

Just wish the clipboard was more reliable  seems to not work in a lot of instances.

yay a stable-appearing oz installation.   finally.  Now to figure out how to install apps with minimal breakage, and not fill my root fs -AGAIN-

You\'d have noticed this if you\'d run OZ3.3.6pre1 before, as that is a problem common to all ROMs built off of it... (I didn\'t upgrade any non-opie packages, I didn\'t even do all of the opie ones - just enough to get the basics and pim stuff working)

All of that stuff worked for me before with my ambicom just fine, but with this new flash it\'s broken.  My 5500 detected the Ambicom wireless CF card but I don\'t get a WLAN configuration tab, just a DHCP and IP config window.  Anyone else see that?

I had to change the compat libs opie-sh script when I was with opt on sd, too.

I\'ve been installing to SD and the apps work fine, and the lag of running opie from the sd card is gone.

Check the opie feed: http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus

Currently unstable is empty since June 4th.

Which Opie version comes with 3.3.6? 1.0.3?

Upgrade to 1.1.3:http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus/1.1.3/SL5xxx/gcc3/

Hmm. 1.0.3 is what comes with it.  I just added that opie feed to ipkg.conf and ran ipkg upgrade .. then it filled my / ..

I figured it was an upgrade so I had the room where things were previous.  is that a bad assumption?

I\'ve been running OZ 3.3.6 with apps installed to SD (remember to install opie-symlinker, opie-update-symlinks do what it says when you can\'t see the apps installed by hand on the console with the ipkg utility) without a problem.

I was into moving everything to SD, but now I\'m quite happy. Remember if you install bash, to install it to root.

I installed oz-compat to sd too. Remember to use makecompat on the link on root (since it gets copied to /opt/QtPalmtop.compat/bin instead of /mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop.compat, if you use makecompat on the binary which is on the sd it\'ll be copied to root, and you don\'t want that.  )

Where do i find opie-symlinker and the other pkg? they\'re not in the feed for 3.3.6-pre1 it looks.  So, if i have these then I don\'t need to do the symlinking script above to get root-dir-installed apps onto SD?

please expand on that a little more.. i have had nothing but a bad time with my zaurus so far, and I just got a SD card.  I did the trick above but after moving everything, I can\'t browse my apps folder with the make compat graphical app. weird.  so, i\'m reflashing it now..

I\'m getting a usbnet segv with 2.6.5-tmb...

I get a weird oops or some error if i yank the zaurus out of the cradle, but with properly ifdown\'ing usb0 and rmmod\'ing usbnet, it is fine. (debian)

I tried 2.6.6-rc2 and the changelog like they say states no changes, but there are some in the code.. anyways, I can\'t even get it to talk to the Zaurus.  so i\'m back to 2.6.5.

and i am noticing now that with this .6 RC1  on my zaurus, something crashes after a lot of idling in the cradle. gonna have to check dmesg to see what it is, the code it dumps is so large it fills Konsole\'s buffer. heh.
