Q: Charging doesn't stop.
A: Will be fixed in Cacko 1.22 kernel update (not yet available).

Have you the same problem with cacko 1.23 like me...

Sharp ROMs / Corrupted Keymap, Ipkg Error

« on: January 19, 2010, 05:17:58 pm »

Hi,

just a post to explain (tks to Cacko FAQ) how I solve the ipkg error "ipkg says something went wrong. Sorry." :

su -
ipkg remove error

It will give some complaint about not finding the package "error" and then say it is purging all references to "error" from the database, and then you shouldn't get that message anymore.

Look at Cacko FAQ for details.

Now I can install packages in internal Flash memory, all is OK.

Tks a lot.

Linux Issues / Zaurus Emulator On Linux ?

« on: January 15, 2010, 05:36:16 pm »

Hi,

I would like to know if a Zaurus emulator which works on Linux (Ubuntu for exemple) exist.
Like HP calculators emulators but with a C860 (for exemple) instead of a HP48S.
I would be very interesting for testing a particular ROM...

Best regards.
Happy new year.

Sharp ROMs / Corrupted Keymap, Ipkg Error

« on: January 13, 2010, 03:25:02 pm »

Hi,

Tks for the answer dear speculatrix and for my validation !  

I can install some packages on SD or CF card but no on internal flash memory.

When I reboot there is no pb with fsck.

But I think you're right... It's probably the keymap...

I have solved the pb with the Y/Z by editing the file /home/zaurus/Settings/keyhelper.xml
this one was for german keymapping (Y <--> Z,...). It works fine now !

I will upgrade the ROM for Cacko 1.23... this pb probably disappear with this upgrade.

Thank you very much.
Best regards.

Sharp ROMs / Corrupted Keymap, Ipkg Error

--edited by speculatrix after moving thread post here---

Hi,

...I have some questions about my C860  ( I have the 1.21b cacko ROM) :

 1)  When I touch the 'Y' I have a 'Z'... and when I touch 'Z'... I have a 'Y' ?!!!
       All other letters are ok.
 2) Since a few days I can't install packages !    
qpkg say "ipkg says something went wrong. Sorry."

Is there a link with the fact that I uninstall cumulus last day ? Uninstalling a package like cumulus can break dependancies or not ?

and when I use ipkg the message is :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>ipkg install qpdf2_freetype-2.2.1-20040217_arm.ipk

The following package were previously requested but have not been installed:
error

ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve http://www.zaurususergroup.org/feed//__.ipk, returning
ipkg_get_install: Perhaps you need to run `ipkg update'?  

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't understand why the filename is  " - __.ipk " ?!!!

Have you got this error ? Could you please help me with this very  pb ?

Tks a lot.
Best regards.
