Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.4.x Upgrades

« on: April 19, 2006, 08:58:11 pm »

ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for fbvncserver:
         fbvncserver-kmodule

Seems it's not in the feed. I've manually checked the sub directories on the feed sites except for ../locale
Can this be added to the feed? fbvncserver depends on it.

Danboll: soem stuff failed to build and I'm building them in a background. We have a thread for such requests. Gnumeric & Abiword are on my list.

Lexx: Apache cannot be cross-compiled ;(

Hrw: Not to get off topic, but is there anywhere I can read about why that is? I'm not a proficient programmer, but I am interested in the subject matter a lot. :-)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Call For Donations For Poodle Hardware

« on: March 21, 2006, 08:32:29 pm »

Are there any other acceptable methods of donating money? Such as maybe a bank cheque? I'm not a fan of using online pay systems.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openzaurus 3.5.4 Released

« on: March 20, 2006, 03:36:05 pm »

Browsing the list at http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/t/oz3...ckages-list.txt
I noticed mysql4 and php4 packages. I didn't see anything for apache other than a perl/cgi module. Is apache available for OZ or will I have to track it down from some other source? Will installing Apache, MySQL, PHP on OZ/OPIE OZ/GPE provide a complete soultion for on the road web/php/sql development?

@Meanie
Nice! It'd be very nice if that could be a parameter which could be passed via the command line.

Software / Opera Mini

Ah! OK. I run it on the desktop as well as on the Z. Hopefully someone will figure out how to make it take up more screen space if it is possible.

@ eji

RE: Size of a US Quarter
I guess your running it on a desktop right?  If so, you can use an screen magnifier to improve the visability. I've found no way to adjust the size of the application. Hopefully someone else may know how. On the Z (5600). It takes up the whole screen, but the font is still difficult to read. Not sure how it looks on other Zaurus models.

Software / Opera Mini

« on: February 15, 2006, 07:16:35 pm »

Here is how I got it to work:
Get the following files all into one directory.
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OperaMini
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/campaign/
Or
http://mini.opera.com/global/opera-mini-1....advanced-us.jar
http://mini.opera.com/global/opera-mini-1....60-basic-us.jar
*-------Optional if you have trouble with the above----------------------------*
operette-lofi-us.jar:
http://mini.opera.com/builds/releases/oper...tte-lofi-us.jar

operette-hifi-us.jar:
http://mini.opera.com/builds/releases/oper...tte-hifi-us.jar

Rename operette-lofi-us.jar to opera-mini-1.2.2960-basic-us.jar
Rename operette-hofi-us.jar to opera-mini-1.2.2960-advanced-us.jar
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
me4se:
http://kobjects.sourceforge.net/me4se/
Or direct link
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforg...jects/me4se.jar
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
javapng-2.0-rc3.jar:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/javapng...c3.jar?download
Or directly from:
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforg...png-2.0-rc3.jar
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Make a shell script to launch OperaMini.
-Copy the lines below without the copy and paste sections they are just markers.
-Create a file and paste the lines into it. I named mine OpraMini.sh.
-You may have to change the permisions on the file you created.
-The file works with either Linux Java or Jeode on a Zaurus.
-Run the script.
x----COPY----X
#/bin/sh

if [ `which evm 2>/dev/null` ]
then
   evm -Xprogress -XappName=$0 -cp "me4se.jar:javapng-2.0-rc3.jar:opera-mini-1.2.2960-basic-us.jar"" org.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser
fi

if [ `which java 2>/dev/null` ]
then
   java -cp "me4se.jar:javapng-2.0-rc3.jar:opera-mini-1.2.2960-basic-us.jar" org.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser
fi
x----PASTE----X
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Are we allowed to post these files on here? I can post a complete archive with everything needed. I'll also see if I can make a clickable icon so you wont have to launch it from a shell.

The fonts really small, but you press "*" to get started and then click OK, you only need to do this once.

BTW, the script works with either Java on a Linux machine or the Zaurus at least on my two setups it worked.

Obviously this is what works for me. Your milage may vary.

5x00 General discussions / Sl5600 Sever?

« on: August 29, 2005, 08:29:24 pm »

See the feeds. I have Apache + PHP as well as mysql on my 5600.

Hi ... do know where can I get DNS (named) and smtp?  and firewall too?  

For DNS ... I know one way is to use no-ip. But if there is a "named" ... that would be nice.

or webmin  too .... hehehe
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=93598\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

DNS server - No idea if a package exists.
SMTP server - Also no idea. Though it would be interesting to use the Z as a relay.
Webmin - You could try downloading the tar package from [a href=\"http://www.webmin.com/]http://www.webmin.com/[/url] and seeing what happens, but in all honesty I don't see much of it working. I don't think the Z meets all the requirements or software dependencies. But this is just my SWAG (Scientific wild-$$ guess)

Hope this helps.

Software / Reflashing Sl-5600

« on: June 18, 2005, 11:17:38 am »

Hello rabidjade,

If all your looking to do is reset the unit to factory defaults so all applications and data are removed, it's fairly straight forward.

1. Plug in the external power cord from the USB cradle.
2. With the unit turned off, flip the "Replace Battery" switch and remove the battery cover.
3. With the cover removed, locate the reset switch located just above and to the left of "Replace Battery" switch, and press it with your stylus.
4. Replace the battery cover, don't forget to flip the "Replace Battery" switch back.
5. Turn the unit over, press and hold the "OK" button while simultaneously pressing the "Cancel" button to turn the unit on.
6. You will see a menu, select the option labled "3. Format". This will erase all data and applications within the unit allowing you to start with clean system.

** This will not delete your ROM, that is done with another option in the menu. **

There's lot of places this information is available as well as steps for flashing the unit with another ROM.
A quick Google Search should do the trick.

Hope this helps, but as always, standard disclaimers apply. ;-)

Sharp ROMs / Watapon ROM

« on: May 24, 2005, 08:54:39 pm »

My humble opinion,

- nano + ncurses5 - Should make a nice suppliment to VI. Might VI be replaced with VIM?
- bzip2 - I'm for this either included or as an IPKG. I always install it, but that's just me.
- rotation - Very much for this. Will all the needed fonts be installed as well?
- opie-sh - No coments, used it a few times, and removed it.
- brightnessapplet - Much for it.
- qpdf2 - Much for it.

- How about Bluez? I guess the lack of a fully functional GUI config tool makes this harder to justify.
- All the libopie stuff. Not sure if that's in to some extent, but I'm certain I  had to install some additional opie libs to get Wellenreiter (SP?) to launch. It didn't work, but it launched after the extra lib install.
- Voice Recorder to IPK. I use it, but am willing to have it moved to an IPK in favor of another app.
- Opie-Today - Good app which I never got to work properly from the feed, probably my fault. ;-)

Software / Php/html/code Friendly Editor

« on: May 14, 2005, 11:52:24 am »

Hi Guys,

Am looking for a nice text editor for the C1000, something that I can write HTML and PHP code in specifically, if it's got syntax hi-lighting then all the better, but I know this is quite rare, so a really nice clean simple text editor that will allow me to save anywhere and use the file extentions that I want and can cope with the C1000's larger screen size would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79722\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I think TinyKate will fit your needs. It's not PHP specific, but it performs syntax highlighting for many languages. I never got it running on my 5600/Watapon ROM machine so I amnot 100% certain on how well it will work on the Z, but I'm a heavy user of Kate on my Linux desktop. Zeditor is what I currently use on my 5600.
