Sharp ROMs / Trolltech Qtopia 2.1 ROM soon

« on: May 12, 2005, 03:29:24 am »

really though... is there a directory issue with opera or something?  I had no luck at all getting it to run. I can't swear there weren't other issues, but i tried the links (what was it? /usr/opera? /usr/share/opera?) needed to make it run in OZ after it didn't work "out-of-thebox" and tried MrSquishy's repacked oz version of the opera ipk. No joy.

I'll mess with it some more,...

Opera doesn't install for me either (SL5500).  
Installation using the package manager to either internal storage or SD card fails with the error message "/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/opt/Qtopia/bin/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin..<something cut>
install ipkg returned false for /"
Trying to install from the command line "ipkg install -dest /mnt/card/ opera...ipk" also fails with the error "cant open status file: /usr/lib/ipkg/status for writing: No spce left on device"
Since a fresh install of the ROM starts with the / partition (/dev/mtdblock4) 99% full, I guess that this is the problem.  I have no idea what the solution is though.

Sharp ROMs / Qtopia Rom 2.1.1

Does this mean there's a new image with the suspend working?

Yes. I had forgotten to install apm on the 5000d/5500 image.

I'm sorry if this is a terribly ignorant question, but:
Is it a lot of work to change the rom so it installs to SD? Alas, I've tried (and failed) to get a second partion working and available on my SD card, so playing with the ROM seems to be asking for trouble for me, for now.

Edit:
Hybrid ROM has Qtopia installed as an ipk.  Is the source available from 2.1 that I might try some cut+paste - to try and make a Qtopia 2.1 ipk?

I'd like to give it a shot.

Shouldn't be too difficult. At some point, I will have a download to other kernel memory configs.

Everything on the rom is installed via ipkg. Most of what is on the roms are available in the Qtopia 2.1.1 sources at trolltech.com.
Qtopia is entirely installed to /opt/Qtopia, so you could simply move it where you want and supply a symlink, or change the /etc/init.d/qpe script.

I have a problem installing stock ipk's on the new ROM, every-time, they fail during installation with an error message about the root (/) filesystem.  I suspect that something is trying to install to the full / system rather then the amost empty /usr file system.  Unfortunately, I don't know what I need to be fixing!

One a different note, great ROM, and the apm fix in the new image for the 5500 is great. Does irda work yet, I'd like to get my ir-keyboard up and running with irk (assuming I can get passed the ipk installation problems)

Software / IRK 2.0

The result will be IRK 2.0.0 (next week sometime) - the first release will definitely work with Pocketop keyboards, and will include untested support for all the keyboards added by Tim and Takeo over the past year (but moved to the new keyboard driver architecture I've put together).

I'd appreciate it if a few people would volunteer to do a spot of testing on the keyboards I don't own (ie. Palm, Micro Innovations TKB780U, Targus and Belin F8U1500) - post here if you're up for it....

More than happy to try out with my Targus universal keyboard, with SL5500/Sharp ROM.
v 1.1 works pretty well, though I still haven't got key-mapping completely figured out yet
