Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Important Fix For Oz 3.5.4-rc Need Testing

« on: December 16, 2005, 11:45:00 am »

Yes it does work. NB: I'm using a OE self-built image and kernel, not a release.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Do "ctrl-c" In Oz-gpe Terminal?

« on: October 30, 2005, 08:40:01 am »

To switch between running apps use the title bar of the focussed app. This will give a list of open windows and the desktop.

As for Ctrl in the terminal, I wish I knew too!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Make A City Time File?

« on: May 27, 2005, 12:42:13 pm »

So one would find and desktop type Linux machine, create a city zone file with zic and move the file to the Zaurus? Is that the way to do it?

That should work - there's no difference between the zone files on my OZ and Fedora machines.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Upgrades

« on: February 28, 2005, 07:46:07 am »

om/pi won't be packaged - too many conflicts with libetpan/upstream and libmailwrapper/OPIE
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65941\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

That's a pity - OM/Pi really is much more useable than opiemail - particularly if you're using the rest of kdepi/pi. Are there any other mail alternatives?

Chaos: You won't be first... OpenEmbedded team create OPIE+KDEPIM/PI images since 2004.07.20 (they are not released)

Are these (eventually) going to be released? Perhaps 3.5.2...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / e2fsck for ext2 SD cards

« on: October 28, 2004, 12:18:08 pm »

I've been trying to work out the best place to put

Code: [Select]

e2fsck -y /dev/mmcda1in my startup scripts. I think this is necessary as many problems seem to stem from cumulative errors on the SD card.

Various suggestions on the OpenEmbedded Wiki (OpenZaurusFineTuning, How to setup OpenZaurus with SD card as root filesystem) have also implied this, but there doesn't appear to be a definitive answer anywhere.

This proot script includes the check, but has the line commented out. Alternatively it could go somewhere in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh or even /etc/init.d/sd.

Any ideas?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Upgrading busybox in 3.5.1

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Upgrading busybox in 3.5.1

« on: October 26, 2004, 09:26:05 am »

Generally I strongly advise against using ipkg to upgrade busybox. Better extract and overwrite it manually.

Mickey, how exactly do I do this? I've done:

Code: [Select]

ar xvfz busybox_1.00-rc3-r10_arm.ipk
tar xvfz data.tar.gzBut how do I overwrite the extracted busybox binary to the Zaurus? I've tried scp but just get:

Code: [Select]

$ scp busybox root@zaurus:/bin/
scp: /bin//busybox: Text file busy
Thanks for any help

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Upgrading busybox in 3.5.1

« on: October 21, 2004, 06:35:20 am »

I tried Hrw's suggestion to -force-overwrite and the Zaurus failed to wake from suspend. Also failed to reboot - one message I saw go past was a usage error regarding makedevs.

So I'll be sticking with busybox 1.00-rc3-r2 for the moment. Anyone actually succeeded with this upgrade?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / opie-mail inbox won't show

« on: September 25, 2004, 11:03:02 am »

Firstly, many thanks to everyone who made the 3.5.1 images and feed - this is the fastest and most stable my z has ever been.

Yes - I am having this opiemail problem too. I've tried installing both on root and sd but no change. On clicking an IMAP folder opiemail doesn't respond for a while and then returns "error logging in imap server" in the taskbar. Yes, I've checked the username and password several times!

Interestingly, I added a POP account and tried that - opiemail obviously managed to login to that mail server as it has received the message id (see below), but then crashes. The following is the result of launching opiemail from the command-line, then clicking on the IMAP folder (the first AccountView refresh...) and then the POP folder (resulting in a crash).

Code: [Select]

OGlobal::creating global configuration instance.
OConfig::OConfig()
: QuickLauncher invoked as: opiemail
: Added IMAP account

As with Tim, sending mail works fine. This is to the same mailserver as the IMAP account above, and with SMTP login:

Code: [Select]

: Msgid == etPan.415587a5.43d3bcd4.14a4@collie
: Send Queued
: Sending the queue
: /root/Applications/opiemail/localmail
: Msgid == etPan.415587a5.43d3bcd4.14a4@collie
: Servername mail.markknoop.com at port 25
: No SSL session
: Mail sent.
Any ideas about this? Or has anyone managed to receive mail with opiemail.

Another question: am I missing something or is there no 'get mail' icon in opiemail?

This would probably be a good idea now that opiemail supports POP accounts.

Thanks again,

Mark
