Zaurus - pdaXrom / Bluetooth Cellphone Modem

« on: September 11, 2007, 04:03:01 pm »

Using PadXii13 and Sprint fusic works great hope this is close enuff to help. It seems like your phone and Z aren't pared up so the phone is ignoring the Z. Here are the steps I took

1st on phone set bluetooth to on
2nd set phone to be visiable on a bluetooth scan
3rd on Z in PPP settings Click the serch button
4th the phone shows a paring request tell it OK and give it the pin "1234" unless you edited the pin to something else [the file is /etc/bluetooth/pin I think]
5th on phone set the Z as a "trusted device" then you don't have to par every time
They will the rember each other now
6ht setup PPP for yor provider
7th enjoy

Its a different provider so but i thing bluetooth paring is the same all around ymmv  

PS: oops I didnt see that the Z wasn't showing up my BT card is a diffrent brand (blekin) so I don't know if thats normal or not mine blinks when paring the light is on when in standby and off when  working   the exact inverse of my WiFi Card

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 3200 Keymap For Zkbdd

« on: March 30, 2007, 10:23:19 am »

Well this is like losing the mayo in the fridge you cand see it no mater how hard you look untel you ask someone else then ... POOF there it is in front of you.    

To find out use

Code: [Select]

keydump > SomeTextFile.txt
To get keydump install console tools

Now to ansewre my own question yes the maps are diffrent on mine anything you have to [Fn]+ some other key to get isnt maped.  Most of the puncuation. This may be a side effect of me frankenstining together the spitz and akita pdaXii versions so I can run what I use most off the flash to squese every drop out of the battery life by suspending the hdd, or ther may be a difrence between the pdaX and pdaXii keymaps.

Then I saw somthing I hadn't ever tryed before X-->System Tools-->USB Keybord Setings there it  was a way to load up diffrent keymaps, USB kbd now working great. It shouldnt be very hard to add a  "Zaurs + IRK" version thet uses the map zkbdd was desinged for.

One more question in USB Keybord Setings whre dose it keep the files it loads so I can add a new one?  

Thanks

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 3200 Keymap For Zkbdd

« on: March 28, 2007, 11:28:16 am »

I installed zkbdd It works great for the leters and numbers but I have no puncuation.  Replacing the lines for shift on the numbers with 0; s made some symbold work. It seems to pass shift to the X as well as shift them itself. The shifted numbers are maped like on the Z and not my IR kbd. and except for [{}] none of the puncuation dose what it should some make internatonal chars and most make unsuported chars the "~" makes a a with two dots above it. I guessed that the scan codes are difrent for difrent models of Z, some searching here reveled xev as a way to see the scancdes now things got wirerd it shows standard scancodes like on a PC, ztokens shows somthing completly diffrent.    More searching shows that X translates the codes before any apps sees them.

So somthing like
Z keyscan --> translate to pc keyscan --> X ---> aplacation

zkbdd taps in at the Z keyscan and makes my IRK act like a 2nd set of Z keys

2 questions
Can I use the pc scancodes and have zkbdd put it in the streem stright to X?
Is there somthing that will let me see the Z scancodes outside of X so I can map them for my 3200 or a place ther documented?

I also get the same strangness with usb keybords useble but flakey on some keys.

Thanks

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Disappearing Libraries Fix

« on: March 14, 2007, 09:35:56 am »

Just a note to make a common tip in this forum more accessible to a search.  I've fought a frequent problem of nonfunctional software due to disappearing libraries after a system crash or unexpected reboot--or sometimes, for no apparent reason at all.  The fix is simply ipkg-link mount /mnt/user or whatever your install mount point is.  Voila, links are restored to software installed at that point, libraries are suddenly found, and software functions again!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=156202\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Sorry for the stupid question, but what do you mean exactly by "ipkg-link mount /mnt/user....."?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=156221\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Type it in a shell prompt and it recreats the symlinks. Eraly versoins of OZ  that used pivot root to boot of SD have this problim as well It took me weeks to find out what to do with ipkg-link to get them back so its not a stupid question at all. I think they fixed it in there latest relase for collie I dont know enuff to guess how though one day my symlinks just stayed though.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / File Found But Not ?

« on: March 14, 2007, 09:19:33 am »

The ./work did the trick    I didnt ever think that it needed to be in the path to exe.  That would keep you from executing data by mastke, cool built in de-wormer   .

Zaurus - pdaXrom / File Found But Not ?

« on: March 13, 2007, 05:29:51 pm »

I put together a fiew scripts to start and stop stuff depending on what I want to do. nothing fancy just saving some typing. Work start WPA, start dhcp, start samba, kinda stuff. Here is whrer things get wierd .  ls shows my script ls -l shows its executable and ownd by root  

Code: [Select]

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           92 2007-03-13 15:10 work
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root           77 2006-09-22 17:53 wpa
When I try to run it i get

Code: [Select]

root-:) work
-bash: work: command not foundThis also happens if I copy a binary exe from anywhere except in the Z. Things installed with ipkg and things that are made with make work. It seems to know where there from and if there copied or typed in it dosnt like them. When I first tryed pdaxII1.3 I wrote a small script to load the kennal drivers and start ZKBBD it still works though.  I can edit the scripts but just not run them if I copy a working one and then edit and save as a new name it quits working.

Any sugestions?
thanks

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xroadmap Kismet Plugin

« on: March 05, 2007, 04:07:09 pm »

I tryed out the kismet plugin with xroadmap and it worked except for geting the location of the detected APs very wrong. About 1/2 mile on a grid there was a AP. Well rdmkismet was converting it to ddmm.ddmmmm not ddmm mmmmm due to typo in the to nema converter to fix it yourself and rebuild change

Code: [Select]

*nmea_mmmm = (int) (kismet * 10000.0);
*nmea_ddmm = (nmea_dd * 100) + nmea_mm;to

Code: [Select]

*nmea_mmmm = (int) (converting * 10000.0);
*nmea_ddmm = (nmea_dd * 100) + nmea_mm;in roadmap_kismet.c

or just replace your rdkismet with this one

C1000/3x00 General discussions / A Fiew Newbie Questions New To A Clamshell Anyway

« on: February 12, 2007, 04:02:53 pm »

Thanks I will give it a try. If it is on a slightly wrong kernal that would explain the zkbdd wiredness as well as a fiew things I saw today. I am used to the 5500 flash peoses where one file overwrights the kenral and the the other one is just a file system.  The 3200 has mutple places where things can be. Thats helpful to know.

Thanks for the tip

Edited 2-13-07

Tryed it out installed ok. Working great no broken links and about 3X as fast sa the first time with mixed Cacko/pdaIIx.

Cool

Hi

Well I spent the most of my weekrnd trying out other distros for the 3x00 series. First sharp based then X based lastly trying meanie's pdaIIx. Wow        my Z can do that! In my playing I seemes thet the 2.6 kernal needs som time to grow up It has real potental especialy now that the Z distros are moving into other small non Z linuix things, but the 2.4 kernal tho oldet just works at least on the Zs so am probly going to stick with a pdaIIx for now its hevayer on the system than OZ but the new Z is still a lot faster then the old one and I have almost evrything going on it again.  I may play distro go round a gain in a fiew months but thats 1/2 the fun of a Z. I have a fiew more questions tho.

1st. Did I tye my install of padIIx in a knot? I flashed from OZ to Cacko palyd with it most of saturday then tryed to flash pdaIIx the 3200 version thet lives all on the hdd this resulted in a strange blend of Cacko and pdaIIx that didnt even make it to a shell let alone a gui.  PdaIIX trying to start then Cacko taking over of the flash so I flashed the pdaIIx  version theat lives in flash and extends into the hdd. It worked but I have broken symlinks all over, the config utility for X-scrensaver dose this to but when I hand edit the con fig file it gets the changes and works ok. It still works but when I install somthing it gose on the hdd somtimes and somtimes into the flash and is not always there zkbdd and kernil_module_uinnput do this. When they are there zkbdd -d shows the scancodes from my ir keybord so its working but nothing happens when I type on it.  Trying to install wellenrighter resulted in a failed install and a bunch of broken symlinks as well. I think I need to try to do a clean install of pdaIIx but am not frimaliar enuff with the new Z to know fore sure how. Thinking Just a reflash with the pdaIIx  version that resides on the hdd will do yes I want it all in the hdd.

2nd how to get my ir keybord to work (belkin f8u1500-T) this may be fixed by question 1?

3rd Is there a way to get the OZ pim stuff to work under pdaIIx and import it from my old Z ?

Thanks

I have had my 5500 for quite a while so I am uesd to linux on a handheld, but I am finding the 3200 a whole new ball game.    so I have a fiew probly obvious questions.

1st what do the 2 all Japanese keys do the ones after Fn Ctrl Aand before the sapce?

After I got it I flashed it over to OZ/OPIE 3.5.4.1 I run OPIE on the collie so I thought that was a good place to start. Now for the how do I make it work questions.

2nd USB as a device it worked before I flashed it thats how I copied the files to flash it now it the computer (winXP and linux both do the same) sees it as a storage device but dosnt map the drive in networking mode with linux.inf it dose the same thing the adpter shows but it says "connection failed on the computer. It acts like somting is keeping the usb bussy when I first install the driver it hangs untell I unplug the cable.  So am I missing somthing on starting ?  Ive tryed

Code: [Select]

modprobe g_eather

and

modprobe  g_file_storage file=/media/card
both run ok on the Z but dont talk to the computer beyond identfying themselvs.

3rd USB as a host Reconises Devises and then sits there Ive tryed mountiong by hand and it says device not ready or bussy is there a verson of the usbapplet for OPIE, If somthing is conflicting with usb will it work at all though? Random thought can you run usb host and device at the same time or do I need to stop one before starting the other?

4th IRK Belkin installs, loads and thendose nothing it actes like somthing isnt leting it find the irda I am not sure whrere to start to check it I know the irda on the Z works for xfering files and the keybord works on my old Z just fine?

I am open to sugestions of other ROMs as well. the main things I use are the PIM apps, IRK for taking notes on the Z, Wellenrighter, Zroadmap, Bluetooth for internet over my phone, WPA supplicant for internet where there is WIFI, a pdf reader, I would realy like X-screensaver if possable.

Thanks.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Wpa_supplicant Config Question ?

« on: February 06, 2007, 02:49:20 pm »

I just got a c3200 compared to my 5500 WOW  , but I am kind of lost on seting up wpa on it. I pulled my WiFi form my old Z and the new one found it right away it works great on open and WEP networks. So far So good so now to set it up to acces at work where we use WPA, copyed over my wpa_supplicant.conf and edited it a litle, changed wlan0 to eth0 the name of the interface changed for some reason. Then When I start wpa I get

Code: [Select]

ioctl[PRISIM2_IOCTL_HOSTPAD]: Operation not supported
Faled to set encryption.
Pluging the card back into the 5500 and its up and runing on the net at work, so I know the card can do it.  

Any thing to try to get it encrypting on the 3200 ?

Thanks
