Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Rc9 Broke My Zaurus

« on: April 16, 2005, 07:17:10 pm »

hi,
today evening I thought one more time to my zaurus pango problem and wondered the output messages of "pango-querymodules".

I came to the solution to redirect the output into the configuration file "/etc/pango/pango.modules". But it is useful to backup the old configfile before overwriting it:
mv /etc/pango/pango.modules /etc/pango/pango.modules.backup
pango-querymodules >> /etc/pango/pango.modules

ciao

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Rc9 Broke My Zaurus

hi guys

i also have a similar problem with my zaurus

a half year ago i installed RC9 and all worked fine

but yesterday i upgraded with "ipkg upgrade" witch causes all the phyton-scripts with gui to exit with a Segmentation fault:
"(inputconfig.py:328): Pango-WARNING **: No bueltin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
         '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules."

running pango-querymodules also doesn't solve the problem so I think there is a fault in the pango package

this failure also occure by running the scripts lightpower.py, locknfeel.py, network.py, datentime.py and usbfunction.py
and the programs abiword, gaim and sylpheed
also the taskpanel CF/SD Monitor doesn't work correctly

is there any ability to downgrade the system or to solve the problem with the pango package???

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Usb Storage Mode Not Working!

« on: April 06, 2005, 05:30:56 pm »

there are some things i have to add to my Post from 2005-2-25

1. This change in the usbfunction.py is only useful if you are using a sd-card.

2. If you mount the zaurus card-reader as usb-storage then it is better to unmount the usb-card on your zaurus. I have allredy lost some data because I had forgotten to unmount.

3. I had some problems mounting the zaurus usb-card-reader at the same time as some other usb-devices.

4. I don't know why, but I couldn't mount the zaurus card-reader as usb-storage with the command:
   "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage"
    So I always used:
    "mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/storage"

(I'll hope you excause my poor english)

I also had some problems with the usb-storage in RC8.
When I connect my zaurus with the usb-cable to the windows I always get a message to insert a card into the card reader (I always used an sd-card).

I fixed the problem by changing the variable STORAGE_OPTS in the file /usr/bin/usbfunction.
This Variable contains the wrong devicefile for the sd-card (wrong path: "/dev/mmcd0").
To correct the script you only have to change the path to ("/dev/mmcd/disc0/part1").
