Excellent.  The first problem is solved, and I'll search on the second.  Thanks.

Software / Problem with mime magic
« on: November 07, 2004, 01:17:59 pm »
I don't know what I did to break this, but all of the sudden file returns error:

/etc#file fstab
fstab: file: invalid type 0 in mconvert().

and tar:

/mnt/card/Documents/Install_Files#tar xzOf zuc_1.1_arm.ipk ./data.tar.gz
tar: invalid compressed data--format violated

I'm sure these aren't the only two porgrams affected, but the only two I've noticed so far.

Anyway, where is the mime magic file on these?  I'm running a zaurus sl6000 with the original rom.

Thanks.

6000 - Tosa / Software for the SL-6000

Yeah.  I really want zephyr support in qpe-gaim, but apparently that plugin wasn't compiled.  I'll fix it eventually...

Ken: qpe-gaim works for me.  What problems are you having?

Once I figured out the Display parameter for making things run 640x480 I went through and added that line to all my applications.  most work fine (yay!) but some don't.  Noteably: qpe-alarmclock and powerchord.

powerchord opens as a tiny unmoveable/unresizeable window and the pulldown menus are too big for the window, so they're all bunched together and there isn't enough room for the text.  I downloaded the source for this, but I have no idea how to compile stuff for this, so if someone has a howto on that (I'd like to use an x86 debian system for the builds) I'd appreciate it.

qpe-alarmclock opens are a full screen window, but the gui elements are all bunched in the corner, and the fonts are too big.  How can I make things use small fonts?  Is there some sort of a font browser available?

Of course qpe-alarmclock is useless since the system time on this skews by at least 5 minutes a day.  Has anyone found a fix for that?

Deals and Great Z Buys / 6000L for $399 -- Amazon.com

The CD contains a terminal program.  You need to get it onto the zaurus somehow and then install it with the add/remove programs thing.

I must say, I feel like a dumbass reading this thread.  I ordered my 6000L like a day before this thread started, and paid the only price I could find, $729.  I've now placed an order with amazon and have an RMA issues for the one I've had about a week.  $499 is a pretty significant savings.

General Discussion / Zaurus 6000 pulled out of USA
« on: October 21, 2004, 02:56:02 pm »
Phew.  I just received my zaurus 6000 yesterday.  I tried ordering one from pcconnection but they said they were backordered, then I called to check on teh status and they informed me their distributor wasn't going to carry them anymore.

So I called cdw and they had a few in a warehouse.  

I love this thing.  So far my only complaint is that the tkcjabber client doesn't work, and gaim isn't built for the vga display.  Does anyone know how to fix that?
