Software / Ereader Encryption Question

« on: March 25, 2005, 11:58:08 am »

I have purchased some books from eReaders.com in the past.  These books are protected with an encryption scheme, and thus cannot be read by my trusty opie-reader on my z6k.

I own them legally, and have the encryption keys to be able to view them.

My question is, does anyone know a program that will decrypt the file, or convert it into another format that is readable by opie-reader?

It was fine when I had their reader for my palm pilot, but now that i've moved onward and upward to the Z that only leaves my laptop as a "reading device" for these books.  And that's a bit of a heavy book.  =)

Thanks in advance for any insights anyone might have!

6000 - Tosa / Vpn Client For Sl6000l

« on: January 12, 2005, 03:20:39 pm »

Ok, using your binaries, the tun.o and ipsec.o from the walkthrough page you provided, I managed to make some headway.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.

On the up side, the binaries seem to work.  No complaints or abnormal execution.

Initially it complained that I had an authentication error in the group credentials, but that turned out to be bad info from one of my network admins.


I have my personal username, the ip of the concentrator, the group ID, and the group secret declared in the /etc/vpnc.conf file.

I run vpnc and it prompts me for my password, as it should.  I put it in (and have confirmed said username and password on the vpn concentrator using a laptop wireless connection) and then the vpnc app hangs.  It goes to a newline, and then sits indefinately.

The same occurs if I use the vpn-connect script rather than just directly executing the program (I realize that if directly executed the routing wouldn't work right, I was just doing that to see if it might be the script hanging, not vpnc)

Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks!

6000 - Tosa / Vpn Client For Sl6000l

I also need a working VPN client, as my corporate wireless lan is secured through a VPN concentrator.

I have seen links to a vpnc package, but could not get it to install correctly.  I also found OpenVPN, which I did get installed, but configuration on it reads like either cuneiform or klingon, I haven't decided which.

If anyone has any precompiled binaries or "vpn the quick way" tips I know I'd appreciate it immensely.  When it comes to video playback, emulators, etc I'm content to fiddle with things until it works, but connectivity is a bit touchier.

6000 - Tosa / Sdl, Znester, And Snes9x

« on: December 29, 2004, 11:47:15 am »

Try this:  http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1176

Going by the unlikely name of ZEmufeEX, this is a frontend for SNES9X and a few other things as well.

I installed it, copied snes9x to /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/bin, added a link to that in /home/QtPalmtop/bin and then it worked quite well.

Might want to play with the .sh files it creates for each rom,  as it orients it portait by default, but it's a nice size display, very crisp and readable.

My only problem is that I cann't seem to successully save games in ff4.  Anyone know of a reason for that?

Thanks!

Edit:  I'm running the SDL version of SNES9X found here:  http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1214

If anyone knows a more up to date version which might properly support battery saved games I'd appreciate the info!

6000 - Tosa / Opie-reader Resolution

« on: December 28, 2004, 12:59:02 pm »

I have found the latest opie-reader on the opie feed, but one a question.

I have seen other users mention getting opie reader to work in VGA mode.  How can I set it to use VGA mode?

The 6000L is my first Zaurus, and while I am loving it so far (tinkering most definately included) most of the apps for it don't seem to have much in the way of documentation or --help info, etc.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
