Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opie 3.5.3 Issues

« on: May 25, 2005, 11:24:06 am »

Hi,

I have a couple of issues with the OZ i have installed.

1) In Package manager i can't see the apps that need installing which are saved on my CF card. I am currently trying to install apps by going into File manager and directing to the CF card and loading into Package manager.
2) All the apps i try to install error with the following....

ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for OPIE
libqpe1 (>=1.2.0)
libopiecore2-1 (>=1.2.0)
libopiemm2 (>=1.2.0)
libqte2 (>=2.3.10)
libopieui2-1 (>=1.2.0)
An error occured, return value: 1

Any help would be greatful,

I am new to Linux and will be learning more hopefully soon as soon as i work out how to encode the CBT nugget cds for linux.

Thanks

Dave

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Help..oz Flashing Problem

I have now installed Puppy Linux, I am having trouble getting it to mount the CF reader, I have a feeling that i need drivers for Linux for this. The reader i have is http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage...MediaReaders%2F

Any ideas.

Dave

You're sponding quick

I haven't got another CF card but i might have to buy another 256. Think you can get one for around £20.

Cheers

I have justy tried Flashing the Cacko ROM, This also took about a min and when i tried Booting back up it was still saying Open Zaurus and it stopped at the same point.

Is there any other way i can get this to Flash.

Could it be the CF Card that is the problem.

Dave,

I had Sharps standard ROM which i upgraded a couple of months ago. Its the one you do whilst the Z stays in the cradle. No flashing required.

What Other ROM do you recommend trying.

Right, I have now tried another version, and the 64-0 kernal.
It does only take about 1 min to flash, and assume it should take longer.
Do you think it would make any difference trying another ROM?
Does anyone know what the errors i received meen.

And is there anything i can do to get this to boot?

Thanks

Worried Dave :C

Yep it was a typo, ,

I have md5summed the files and the numbers match up. I will try flashing one more time then ill the version below.
Other then that i might have to try another CF card. I don't know whether formating has done anything to it. I'm sure there were to Directories onit when i brought it,  which have no gone.
Would that make ay Difference

Hi Need some urgent help...At the mo zaurus to useless.

I have tried Flashing my zaurus sl-5500 with the OZ 3.5.2..I downloaded the OPIE image file and the Zimage 48-16 file. I renamed the files as stated in the install doco, attached Z to the mains then Flashed..Both lights came on for a couple of mins then went off. I then hit the Reset button, put the battery cover back on and turned the Z on.

When the Z boots up it hangs with the message "Kernel panic: Attempted to Kill init!"
What does this meen?

When this hangs at the Top of the screen you have Open Zaurus in big writing then (i can just make this out) "Data CRC failed on node" and "Majic bitmack not found(Think thats right)
Then there is Usage Busybox with a disciption of busybox below. Then below that Current defined functions with rows of functions.
Then the Error pops up and hangs.

This will then stay like this for about 5mins - 10mins and then switch off. If i want to try turning on again i have to press restart before i can switch on.

I tried Re-downloading the files again and reformating the CF card but its exactly the same.
Does it matter if you reformat (FAT) the CF with a CF reader on a Windows XP or 2000?

Thanks in advanced,

Dave

Doesn't the UK have credit card protection laws like in the U.S, where you can get your money back if a product isn't delivered in a reasonable time frame?

I used switch instead of a credit card, I'm guessing you don'g get the same sort of cover. ShritPocket are about to get a V nasty Email and if they don't reply by the weekend i will lodge a complant.

Not Happy at all.
