Sharp ROMs / Please Help: Problem with Datebook

« on: April 21, 2004, 11:42:02 pm »

Hmm, I\'m quite puzzled. Yes, I have an SD card.  /mnt/card/Documents is owned by zaurus.qpe, with permission drwxr-xr-x.  There are 3 directories under Documents, all owned by zaurus.qpe with permission drwxr-xr-x. There are no further subdirectories.
/home/zaurus/Documents is owned by zaurus.qpe, with permission drwxr-xr-x. There are 5 directories under Documents, all owned by zaurus.qpe with permission drwxr-xr-x. There are no further subdirectories.
Is it possible this is a permissions problem on the datebook executable itself?

I\'ve done the Option-]Link File thing to unlink my CF card. That didn\'t make any difference. My CF card is formatted FAT; how can I change permissions on any directories on it? Do I need to change the way the card is mounted in /etc/fstab?

I\'m having exactly the same problem, but the fixes in the FAQ don\'t seem to make any difference. I changed the ownership of both /home/zaurus/Documents and /mnt/card/Documents as described, but switching to month view still crashes datebook. One interesting thing I noticed is that if I fire up a Terminal, su to root, and then run datebook, switching to month view works fine. As user zaurus, however, it crashes with the \"geclient_sendcommand(): server child accidentally finished!\" error. So it sure looks like a permissions issue, but where? I didn\'t see any obvious way to set up datebook to always run as root; is there a better solution?

Windows Issues / Sync with Palm Desktop using tkcROM?

« on: February 11, 2004, 05:12:48 pm »

With the Sharp 3.13 ROM I can sync with Palm Desktop on my Win2k box. It\'s the ideal solution for me from a PIM standpoint, but it\'s not my preference. I\'d been using the TKC PIM apps for a long time, but the need to sync with Palm Desktop wouldn\'t go away. So although I\'d prefer to use the tkcROM and TKC apps, practicality has won out. Seems like a sad familiar story for the Zaurus....

Windows Issues / Sync with Palm Desktop using tkcROM?

« on: February 01, 2004, 12:35:43 am »

Hi folks--
Is it possible to sync with Palm Desktop (on a Win2k laptop) using the tkcROM? I\'ve done lots of searching and Googling and haven\'t found a definitive answer. I\'m using the XML-based tkc PIM apps.

I have a 5500 running tkcROM2alpha3, and the USB networking is working fine. I can ping every which way and ssh into the Z from the PC, no problem. Is there a version of Intellisync I can run on the PC that\'ll let me sync?

Thanks for any help!
Gregg
