Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bridge Usb0 And Wlan0
« on: May 26, 2007, 04:46:49 am »
Hi

My setup SL5500 connected via usb to a Slackware 11.0 box.

Cable internet via eth0.

eth0 dhcp
usb0 192.168.0.4
zaurus 192.168.0.5

When I plug in my zaurus I run a small script

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.4 netmask255.255.255.0 up
route add -host 192.168.0.5 usb0
This works for me.

If it is not too forward, might I suggest that you include a link to dist-upgrade instructions, and changelog in your notification post.

Whilst all experienced zaurus users will be able to figure out how to use dist-upgrade, people new on the scene may have difficulty finding the instructions.

Good idea! Want to write something up?


I will look at it tomorrow or Saturday, too much football on the TV tonight.

Is there a way that I can undo my last dist-upgrade.

I need to get a screen shot of the update stage of the dist-upgrade, the bit after press enter to continue.

Also have you an address that I can email the html file to. You can send it to:

steven dot mcintosh at blueyonder dot co dot uk

Thanks

Is there a changelog anywhere?

The new update works fine.

The dist-upgrade worked, but with the following two problems.

System was confused and required a reboot.

/etc/resolv.conf went walkabout again.

A new update is available (use the dist-upgrade command):

- fixed a bug with dist-upgrade on machines where CardFS is used (Courtesy elhennig@z-portal)
- Many improvements to dist-uprade, including support for a testing feed
- Fixed initial asound.state for Poodle (sound should now work out of the box / after a reboot on upgrades now)
- Added a few more work-arounds for this god damn Opie medium-mount bug


Poodle Users Please Note:
- You should reboot the device after the upgrade

All Users Please Note:
- Exit GPE or Opie before running dist-upgrade

Hi CoreDump

I rebooted and selected no gui from altboot.

I ran dist-upgrade

First it tells me thatit is using the cached copy from the last update and that fails when updating the package lists.

When I run it again it downloads feed data, tells me to press enter, and then says there is nothing to be done, is this correct?

PROBLEM SOLVED

For some reason my /etc/resolv.conf had vanished. I made a new one then re-installed opie-vtapplet, then tried again from the vtapplet, and it worked.

PROBLEM SOLVED

2. dist-upgrade does not respect user alterations, it re-installed packages that I had removed, and it changed my decorative settings back to default.

Samac

Interesting. Sounds like some hentges-* packages do not like beeing reinstalled biggrin.gif
Thanks for spotting it, I'll have a look.

Could you give me an example which packages were re-installed after you had removed them?

PLEASE IGNORE THE BIT ABOUT PACKAGES. I speak much rubbish!!!! The bit about the decor is still OK.

Sorry

I've updated the distro feeds, please run "dist-upgrade" from the console.
dist-upgrade works great, but I had a couple of problems.

1. The security module kept asking for the pin number whilst the upgrade was trying to calibrate, I eventually had to ssh in from my main box, remove security and reboot the collie.

2. dist-upgrade does not respect user alterations, it re-installed packages that I had removed, and it changed my decorative settings back to default.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Cf Card Not Detected

On 5500 ide_cs is in kernel. Show 'cardctl ident'.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=145478\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I cannot find cardctl on my collie, but I take it that this means the cf card is treated like a pcmcia device.

If so I will have to re-install pcmcia-cs.

Problem solved.

Many thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Cf Card Not Detected
« on: November 02, 2006, 11:53:11 am »
But I was wrong!

The card does work and it is detected in a standard hentges install.

But, I wanted to remove all the software that I do not use. I have no wireless network, no bluetooth, no need for infrared, so I removed loads of stuff including kernel modules, now the CF card is not detected.

When I try to mount from the command line it reports that /dev/hda1 is not a valid block device.

Any thoughts about the module/software that I should reinstall.

Sorry coredump for breaking your fabulous work.

The hentges feeds are for distribution upgrades only. The "dist-upgrade" tool will always use the correct feeds, independent of ipkg.conf.

Adding the hentges feeds to ipkg.conf would be a waste of ressources (since ipkg is slow enough already)

OK that makes sense.

Thanks

Coredump

I am a little confused. Before dist-upgrade feeds existed for .../1.0.x/common and machine upgrades, after dist upgrade they didn't.

Also .../3.5.4.1/feed/machine/collie does not exist.

Could you list the feeds that are relevant for each machine, are we meant to use the ../1.0.x/ or not?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hentges Rom 3.5.4.1 T1 Final Release Available

As for the person with a PrBoom issue, the .desktop file should be in /opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Games
Quote
I have a prboom.desktop in /opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Games/, I have an icon in /opt/QtPalmtop/pics/, I have a link to prboom.sh in /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/.
As you can see that is where I had put the .desktop file, but I found an easier way to deal with it.

I decided to give my Z to my daughter, and she wouldn't like doom, so I took it off.

Many thanks for the reply though.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / What Is The Future For Collies And Other Sl-5xxx's
« on: July 11, 2006, 12:22:32 pm »
Hvontres,Mickeyl

Many thanks for the replies, it is good to know that there is a future path planned for the older devices, I thought that there were problems with sharps sd/mcc drivers and they were precluding the development of the 2.6 kernel on the SL-5xxx ranges.

Love the idea of altboot.
2.6 would be great, any ideas when a test version will be available?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / What Is The Future For Collies And Other Sl-5xxx's
« on: July 11, 2006, 11:57:08 am »
Hi all

Please shoot me down if I am being stupid!

HRW has released 3.5.4.1 but only for clamshells.
OpenZaurus appears to be heading towards kernel 2.6 exclusively.

Does this mean that development on SL-5xxx variants is at an end?
Or will future releases, say 3.6 be available?
Or will the project fork?

I am being curious, as my Collie is now faster, more stable and better equipped than it was when it arrived from Sharp ( A big thank you to all the developers/contributors), and I would like to think that it can be better still.
