Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opieplayer2 Will Not Start

« on: May 31, 2005, 03:43:43 pm »

Well,  if I let it go long enough, the z will lock up untill I either flip the batt switch or ssh in and kill the quicklauncher.  I must have something screwy in my setup, beyond what I have the time to find, so I will just let it go for now, it's alright.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / command line history not saved

« on: May 31, 2005, 03:21:25 pm »

OK, from a little poking around on the busybox site, it appears that the default for the shell is to be compiled without history, or command line editing support, or fancy prompts, etc, but it does have all that potential.

So now my next question is, do I have to recompile the whole busybox to fix this?  Would any problems be expected from trying to replace the current busybox that is installed?  

The information I am looking at is the config files and such for the shell at this page:  http://www.busybox.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi.../busybox/shell/

First off, you started with the insulting, Second off a search through the forums uncovered no workable solution for my problem, similar, but not the same, trust me.  Lastly, what you call whining, is in fact just a message to let anyone, who might actually want to help me, know that I have moved on, I no longer care, it doesn't work for me, I will try it again after a few updates, maybe.  To insult me by saying that I am whining, when I am only trying to use this forum the way it is intended to be used, makes you the bad person, not me.

Whining on a forum does not help.

That is odd, I thought the back and forth exchange of help, in a centralized place,  to help keep the riff-raff off the developers back, was exactly what forums are for.  Idiot.  If your not going to help, just don't say anything at all.

From what I have read on the busybox site, it appears to be.  With the old 3.2 setup though, typing exit to leave the console would append the current sessions history to a history file, now it does not.  I guess this may have been a feature of console, and not sh?

Quicklauncher invoked as: opieplayer2

That is where this message appears.  It doesn't say anything else, no error messages, no anything, it just sits there.  Since trying to launch it from the icon just results in a forever bouncing icon, I didn't bother to mention it.

So am I asking a dumb question, or does everybody really not have a comand line history?  About 80% of what I do is on the command line, this is frustrating.

OK, so I uninstalled gpe, and reinstalled, it still did the same thing, so I uninstalled it.  Now I am done with it.

Tried, my best, now I have uninstalled it, and installed xmms, and mplayer. They work alright, I guess.

I installed opie media player, and all the skins, but when I try to start it, it says  "Quicklauncher invoked as: opieplayer2" but that is all it does.  I installed it to root, which is on sd.  If someone could just tell me where to start at least, that would be great.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems Installing Opera

« on: May 23, 2005, 12:16:16 pm »

ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera /usr/share/opera

This does not get me icons.  I have moved / to sd, following the guide on the oz website.  My opera seems to have installed to /usr/share/opera, not /opt.  I have a symlink in /home/QtPalmtop/bin/opera,  that is what I use to start opera.  

Is this enough info to tell me what to link to get my icons working?  

TIA.

OK, so my zaurus was all cool, I didn't upgrade for a long time, now I switched to oz 3.5.3 from 3.2 ( I think).  I am having problems with saving the history again.  I tried all the stuff from this thread, and also I tried the 'save history' from the connection tab on console.  I can't get the history to save, can someone help me out?  I don't know if it is a local configuration problem or other problem, but when I type exit, it just stops activity on that tab, it doesn't actually close the tab.

I tried making the files in /home/root/.ash_history, and /home/root/.history, and then adding some commands to them, but it doesn't sem to read them either.

What settings do you need to delete? I ran into this problem right after installing, I can't log in as user or as  root either.  I ssh'd in and made a new user, but still I have the same problem.

And here I thought I was the only zaurus user in Fayetteville.  Good to see I am not alone here.  If you ever see someone with a red 5500 in a black piel frama  case, that would, in all likely hood, be I.
