X/Qt / Native Gcc Compiler For X/qt

« on: July 13, 2006, 02:11:13 am »

Hi,

        Would the new gcc compiler or future release of pdaxqtrom come with libxml2 and libxml2-devel(if not already)?

the zgcc-2.95.2 already includes xml2-config for compilation.
the libs are included in package libxml2_2.6.14-1_arm.ipk

OpenBSD / About Usb...

« on: April 30, 2006, 03:34:32 am »

maybe there is something i've done that makes usb 'not discovered', i'll try and check on next reboots 

after rebooting a few times more... i feel that rebooting without a correct system halt (syncing of disks or this kind of stuff) is the situation in which the system won't recognize usb on boot.

just an hypthesis

OpenBSD / About Usb...

I have noticed that very occasionally the USB host port doesn't recognise devices after a boot that should be recognised 'automagically' unless you made a special kernel with all the USB stuff disabled.

well i had rebooted three times and i had no luck with USB so i was feeling i had forgotten to activate something. After your message i've rebooted once again and mouse is working automatically and usb card reader is detected    

maybe there is something i've done that makes usb 'not discovered', i'll try and check on next reboots  

thank you Andy.

hello,

  after digging a little i'm quite lost and cannot find how to activate USB to recognize my usb mouse or usb card reader.

i believe it was working 'automagically' last time i installed obsd on my c3k... after a quick view of OZ3.5.4.1-alpha2 i've come back to obsd current snapshot and i cannot find how to activate usb mouse. i'm really new to BSD and i've got short time before leaving for a week without internet access.

can comeone give me a few commands?

thanks in advance

OpenBSD / Zaurus Sl-3200 Issue With Openbsd39_arm.ipk

« on: April 12, 2006, 08:09:19 am »

boot> can't find /bsd
boot> can't find /bsd.old
boot> can't find wd0a:/bsd

i've experienced such a problem when CF memory card is inserted in CF slot and i'm doing a reboot.

doing a simple boot with CF mem inserted is OK (i mean when the system is completely halted like taking off power and battery).

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openzaurus 3.5.4.1 Testing

« on: March 22, 2006, 05:42:29 am »

my usb mouse is not detected by default.

doing a 'modprobe usbmouse' makes it detected by the system... dmesg provides something like :

input: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. SCE USB MOUSE as /class/input/input4

but there is no cursor... i think it was working fine with previous test5 gpe image for c3000

any idea ? bug ?

Bug 1582

when running gpe-conf network as a 'normal user' (not root), the applet asks for
root password but after making changes the applet will complain "No write access
to network configuration".

So network access modifications must be done as 'root'.

It is mine or 3.4.5.1. beta 1 is not working on spitz ??

flavien,

  i have the same problem, and the other kernel you indicate is also working on my c3000.
I've also followed the instructions on installing a 2.6 kernel.

md5sum is OK for the zImage file.

As i've played with my Z and Roms lately (opendbsd and pdaxrom b2 for c3000) i've restored it from scratch (nand restore and so on..) and even after that the Z won't boot.

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)

ARRRGHH  

i've re-read the OZ website page about sl-c3000 install... and someone (JaMa) said on march the 20th that even with an SD card in slot while booting the Z won't boot...[/color]
So flavien, you have to remove all memory cards and it should do the trick. I didn't even think about it and i always hae an SD card in slot...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Libperl5 With Oz 3.5.4 Test5

« on: February 23, 2006, 03:36:27 am »

hi,

  i wonder where to put this question as i don't know yet if it's a bug or something. I'm using OZ 3.5.4 test5 opie-image on a collie.

when i do an

Code: [Select]

ipkg install perl
with what i feel like the good path to perl in ipkg.conf
i get an error message

Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for perl:
         libperl5 (>= 5.8.7)

i've browsed every folder for 3.5.4test5 feed and even for unstable 3.5.3, but i'm not able to find this libperl5... google gives me nothing... i feel desperate

can someone help me?

OpenBSD / Anyone Interested In Prebuilt Bleeding Edge?

« on: February 15, 2006, 03:06:37 pm »

hello andy,

  it's a nice proposition to give access to compiled versions of kernel or X as it would take hours to build them for each of us.

  i'd be interested as others for binaries.

  so far i've built many packages but it seems i'm always two or three trains after you    your Z is so much improved that it's a lot faster than mine i feel  

  well what about ports? we agree that for better performance we have to compile ports on the Z and not take packages from arm feed but could we find a way to share our ports? in fact i wonder how to manage "versions" of compiled ports as i'm really new on OpenBSD.

thanks again for your work - i've been a cacko user for a long time before falling into the depths of obsd

OpenBSD / Openbsd On Whole Disk Sl-c3000

« on: January 30, 2006, 02:26:33 pm »

Btw, if you are just starting out on this with the 3.9 Beta then you should also follow the instructions for updating zbsdmod and zboot since the ones present in the initrd.bin are from a previous snapshot.

ok, i've applied the "update instructions" and it worked fine. Well as far as i can tell, because i don't know anyway to check the zboot or zbsdmod.o  

system is booting right away...

well startx does not work... d'oh
EDIT : machdep.allowaperture was set to '0'. Well it needs to be set to '2' so that X will start on obsd. It should have been set by installation process as i've said i wanted to use X11 and i was then provided with calibrating interface. update /etc/sysctl.conf with machdep.allowaperture=2 and rebooting did the trick.

Oh and i had time to follow the startup process and i saw zboot is up to date

OpenBSD / Openbsd On Whole Disk Sl-c3000

« on: January 30, 2006, 01:10:24 pm »

Anyone brave enough to try this yet?

i'm volunteer !

i've tested OpenBSD a few months ago and was quite happy with it but i lacked the "kdepim" suite. Now that i've bought a used sl-5500 i can play along with my sl-c3000! and i must admit that i find the openbsd solution the most interesting for me.

I've followed the readme.txt provided with obsd....zip, step by step (i've read it once before going through it). Here is what i've noticed :

readthereadme.4=zimage.bin.

>> i've named it zImage.bin (with uppercase 'i', don't know if it makes a difference for the system)

iv. Hold down D+B on the keyboard and whilst these keys are held depress the reset button using the stylus.

>> vi. must be made before iv. Z won't boot without current (tested twice).

>> wait 3 seconds before v.

v. Release the D+B keys and within a few seconds the unit should start to boot into Emergency Linux.

iii. Insert the storage card and change to directory /mnt/card for SD or /mnt/cf for a CF card using the cd command. i.e.

>> it does not work with CF card. (tested with Sandisk 32MB fat16 and Sandisk UII 1GB ext3 -- even if card inserted before boot)
sd card is ok (inserted before or after boot does not matter -- it's correctly automounted).

v. Start the installation process by copying bsd.rd to the zboot proc entry.

cp bsd.rd /proc/bsd.rd

>> unable to open `/proc/bsd.rd': No such file or directory
>> work with cp bsd.rd /proc/zboot (the comment was explicit enough)

maybe you should tell the user to put the battery, cover and locker back in place?!   (just for completeness uh)

well after that it's up to OpenBSD instructions... creating filesystems is quite strange with this procedure because wd0a is pre-configured as full system without block-size and it won't work. The best is to delete 'a', create 'a' with 4.2BSD fs and / mount point and then create swap and apply.

my installation of obsd sets is in progress.

regards

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Cheap Usb Cable For Sl-cxx00?

« on: January 11, 2006, 05:01:24 am »

I've had very bad experience with expansys. They take ages to deliver on items they claim to be in stock and once you order 3-4 days becomes 3-4 weeks or even more
They are also very expensive, so unless you cannot find it somewhere else, I would recommend you not to buy from expansys. They pissed me off and I will tell everyone how I feel about them.

well for me it said it was in stock and i've received it the day after i ordered it.
But i've only bought once from expansys as i could not find it anywhere for such a low price (i'm in France).

I got a rectractable one too from expansys

it has both USB and power(charge) connectors and it's really small.
