Sharp ROMs / Problem with tkc installs

« on: July 12, 2004, 10:52:47 pm »

I tried to install a couple of tkc products to my c860 using the latest Cacko rom. I previously downloaded and successfully installed the demo versions of these products and they all worked great. I uninstalled all the demo versions of these products and rebooted the Zaurus before trying the install of these packages. In no way, am I unhappy with tkc because they make it clear that they only support the original rom. But I wonder if anyone else has had this problem or if they found a work-around in the Cacko ROM.

1. tkcAddressBook - C700

I unzipped the package to tkcaddressbook_2.0-031112_arm.ipk and copied it to my SD drive. When I tried to install it I got a 'The filename of this package includes character this application can't handle. Please change the file name and retry install' error message. I tried renaming the file several different ways but all the install attempts failed.

2. tkcCalendar - C7x

I unzipped the package to tkccalendar_2.0-040113_arm.ipk and copied it to my SD drive. When I tried to install it I got a 'The filename of this package includes character this application can't handle. Please change the file name and retry install' error message. I tried renaming the file several different ways but all the install attempts failed.

3. tkcGallery - C7x

I unzipped the package to tkcgallery-c7xx_3.0-040126_arm.ipk and copied it to my SD drive. When I tried to install it I got a 'ipkg says something went wrong. Sorry' error message.

I am using the Cacko v1.21b (linux kernel v2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-emb) ROM with Qtopia v1.5.4. I have about 87mb free on the internal flash drive. I am puzzled as to why the demos worked flawlessly and the licensed software failed to install. I would really like to get the tkcGallery installed because I'm a digital photographer and would like to display my images on the 860's bigger screen.

User Request for Applications / Printing utility

« on: July 01, 2004, 09:36:00 pm »

The only deficiency that I have remaining with my c860 is that there is no printing capability. One really cool thing would be to view and print pictures from the Zaurus. There is a set of protocols that various that allow my digital camera to print directly, via the usb, to some enabled printers. Maybe this could be ported for the Zaurus.

I'va also heard about printing via the infrared port but haven't seen any specifics as well as printing over the LAN.

Heck, I'd settle for some generic way to print text via the usb.

Anyone have any ideas?
