Sharp ROMs / Nagging Point With Cacko (perhaps All Sharp Roms)

« on: April 28, 2005, 04:59:15 pm »

Is the document located on a CF card? I think CF gets unmounted/remounted on suspend/resume. Just tested with some image files, ones located on CF close on suspend/resume, ones on SD stay open.

Sharp ROMs / Booting To Command Line

Keep in mind that the console doesn't scroll properly. Running 'clear' will clear the screen and reposition the cursor at the top. Not sure how to fix it properly. Booting the 'c' option, you can switch consoles with 'Fn'+number.

Sharp ROMs / Booting To Command Line

After the 'Sharp please wait' splash screen, and before the Cacko splash screen, when it says 'Wait...', hit '/'. Should get-

q (x): Qtopia
a (e): Linux Console
c (e): Console (tty1-tty6)
e (e): init 3 (ttyS0:pppd)
r (e): init 4 (ttyS0:terminal)
t (e): init 5 (ttyS0:-free-)

Sharp ROMs / Sharp Dev Environment Needed...

Tried on my c750+cacko1.22. Appears to really hate the 2.4.18 kernel headers.

Sharp ROMs / Any good files transfer option for Cacko 1.21b?

« on: October 05, 2004, 09:17:25 pm »

scp is part of ssh, which should be loaded by default on both the cacko rom and OSX. It's skind of like ftp, but uses encryption. Doesn't have anything to do with samba. Setting the zaurus to storage mode (settings tab, pc link icon) makes it look like an expensive usb memory stick

Sharp ROMs / Any good files transfer option for Cacko 1.21b?

« on: October 04, 2004, 03:15:26 pm »

I use scp alot-

'scp user@remote:/usr/local/whateverfile .' logs into computer remote as 'user' and retrieves whateverfile and puts it in the current directory.
'scp -r /opt/whateverdir user@remote:/usr/local/whateverdir' should put /opt/whateverdir and all subcontents on the remote server in /usr/local/.
'scp * zaurus@192.168.129.201:/mnt/card/' should copy everything in the current directory to 192.168.129.201's /mnt/card/ (typical zaurus sd card location) as user zaurus.

Sharp ROMs / New versions of fdisk and e2fsprogs

« on: September 11, 2004, 04:08:43 pm »

Just picked up a Lexar 512 to replace a dead Sandisk 256. Using Cacko 1.21b, fdisk
reported that the original filesystem was larger than the available space (995 vs 994). Deleted and created a new partition, appeared to work but after a format the partition was gone. Downloaded these new versions and everything worked perfectly. Good Timing! Downloaded and uudecoded on a desktop, 'ipkg-install filename' didn't work, 'ipkg install filename' did.
