I am having trouble with the Hentges WIP Opie images for poodle. The link above is what shows up after bootup. Ideas?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Updated Hentges Kernel On Poodle

« on: November 12, 2006, 12:28:31 pm »

I see that there are altboot images and an updated kernel for Hentges on poodle, but no flash initrd images. How can I take advantage of the updated kernel while using altboot with an ext2 loop image on SD? If I just flash the new kernel it panics on boot saying it cannot mount the root partition on unknown-fs.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hentges Rom: New Versioning System

« on: October 29, 2006, 10:17:42 am »

Are there going to be poodle images? I had Opie working pretty well on my poodle with the Hentges ROM of 3.5.4.2-rc2, I flashed GPE to test it and now I want to go back, but I cannot find images to do that.

Too bad Opie is unmaintained  I'd like to use GPE but it doesn't seem ready for prime time yet.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Konqueror In Oz/opie... And Trouble With Hotels

« on: October 13, 2006, 10:31:15 pm »

I am getting an error about html4.css when I try to run the new Konqueror. I installed to /home and did the 'ipkg-link mount /home' bit, too.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=143951\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Here, this one should work for you on your poodle... and it has the desktop.file and icon included. Please remove the other ipk first with remove -force-depends.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Qpe-gaim And Aim Mobile

« on: October 13, 2006, 11:45:21 am »

As some of you may know the AIM/Oscar protocol has the ability to indicate if a particular user on your buddy list is on a mobile device. I don't know exactly how this works, but I imagine it's some kind of capability bit that is set. Does anyone know if qpe-gaim sets said bit so that your AIM buddies can tell that you are on a mobile device? If not, how hard would it be to make it do that?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Livejournal Client For Opie

« on: October 08, 2006, 09:32:47 pm »

So, what is the best way to compile this source package without installing the OpenEmbedded environment on my disk?

Why not just install OE?  It is very easy.  Walk through http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEandYourDistro (tells you what software to install) and http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted (tells you how to configure it) and you are all set.

Would be nice if you contributed your changes to OE back to the community (IOW, post the bb files, etc. to http://bugs.openembedded.org
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=143485\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Well, it is rather large and slow. Although it would be a good idea to bring this software up-to-date and maybe get it included in Openembedded. Hope I'm not out of my league here...I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Livejournal Client For Opie

« on: October 08, 2006, 12:02:33 pm »

Hi,

I was looking for a Livejournal client for Opie, I found this, which is distributed in source and binary form, but hasn't been updated since 2002. I'm guessing with the toolchain changes that have gone on from SharpROM->OZ and even within OZ itself that these binaries will not work. So, what is the best way to compile this source package without installing the OpenEmbedded environment on my disk? Would that even be possible? IIRC, Opie and Qtopia are compatible on the source level, so it should be possible to compile and run this with minimal or no changes, no?

I am running OpenZaurus/Opie (Hengtes) 3.5.4.2-rc on a Sharp SL-5600.

TIA,
Andrew

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / File Mime Types

« on: October 06, 2006, 04:17:29 pm »

I am trying to play with the PoqetPresenter app for Opie. It's file open dialog says vnd.sun.xml.impress files for the type, so I assume that's the .sxi files for Openoffice.org 1.0. I saved a slide show in that format using Openoffice.org 2.0 on my desktop PC, and transferred it to /home/root/Documents on the Z. Opie, however, identifies this file using application/octet-stream in the Documents tab so it does not show up when PoqetPresenter is looking for application/vnd.sun.xml.impress type files. What's the details of how Opie determines file type and how could I possibly go about fixing this?

TIA.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / The End Of Ewi546 Is Coming

How much disk space do you need? I've got a lot, but it's spread out over a few machines. Fortunately, two of those machines are always on and one could be set up to be.

Code: [Select]

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1              37G  3.4G   34G  10% /
devshm                372M   12K  372M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             112G   82G   31G  73% /home

devshm                237M     0  237M   0% /dev/shm
The last machine is a MythTV box, so disk space can vary a bit, but most of the time it's fairly constant due to episodes expiring.

CPU cycles--I could set up a distcc network here and offer it for use. It would consist of:

- AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2.16 GHz)
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (2x1.86 GHz)
- Intel Celeron (2.1 GHz)

And depending on what time zone a developer is in it's entirely possible that that developer could have the machines entirely to themselves. I'm in GMT-5 (well, GMT-4 currently with DST) and I go to bed around 10:30 PM.

Bandwidth: Unfortunately I have 512 Kbps up on a consumer cable connection--consumer broadband ISPs in the US are known for being a bit, ahem, touchy about bandwidth usage despite the constant marketing barrage about "unlimited" connections. So hosting isn't an option.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Kernel Bug When Ejecting Bluetooth Card

« on: September 30, 2006, 01:57:28 pm »

Strange, replacing bluez-utils-dbus with bluez-utils-nodbus seemed to fix all the problems. I can use my phone now and ejecting the card does not hit a kernel BUG()

This is after using the Opie applet to eject the card.

The card isn't working properly, it appears to initialize but it can only scan, connection attempts time out with an I/O error. It is a Belkin Bluetooth CF card,

Code: [Select]

root@poodle:/etc/bluetooth# cardctl info
PRODID_1="CF CARD"
PRODID_2="GENERIC"
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0279,950b
FUNCID=2
It is identified as a 'Compaq iPAQ Bluetooth Sleeve' by Opie and all initialization is done by pcmcia-cs and friends (e.g. nothing manual).

If I down the hci0 interface ('hciconfig hci0 down') it will not come back up: 'Connection timed out (110)'

It has worked properly in the past, most recently with stock OZ 3.5.4.2-rc2. I'd like to stick with the Hentges ROM because it fixes a number of bugs for me on recent OZ firmwares.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Collie Machine As An Mpd 'remote'

« on: September 30, 2006, 09:48:31 am »

We have a MythTV box hooked up to our stereo in our basement, and one of the things it has on it is the Music Player Daemon (MPD). Currently, to control the music playing, you have to fire up a desktop or laptop computer. What I would like to do is make this a bit less cumbersome and use my old collie machine with a Wifi card as an MPD "remote". To do this, I would like to put the latest kernel on it (2.6) and an Opie or GPE image (whichever has a better MPD client, or web browser for a PHP-based client). I see that the 2.6 kernel is finally available for collie, but it doesn't seem to be available with an associated initrd image--the only 2.6 initrd is a bootstrap image and the Opie/GPE images available from Hentges' web site appear to require the old "crapix" kernels. Does anyone have a suggestion as to an ideal configuration for this kind of setup? Thanks in advance.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Control Of Usb Gadget Selection

« on: September 24, 2006, 01:32:43 pm »

Hi,

I made a short Opie-SH script that allows you to switch between the USB storage class and network class gadgets for your Zaurus (2.6 kernels only). Additionally it allows the selection of the backing device (CF or MMC/SD) for usb-storage. Attached to this post is the script (copy to /opt/QtPalmtop/bin and make executable) and a .desktop file (goes in /opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Opie-SH). The icon might not be on your system but you can adjust as necessary.

It has been tested on an SL-5600 with OpenZaurus/OPIE 3.5.4.2-rc2. Hope it is useful for you.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Mozilla Search Plugins

« on: September 19, 2006, 01:55:08 pm »

I wrote up two Mozilla search plugins:

- Package search. Search the feed browser for a package.
- Package details. Get details on a particular package.

Just a note, it would be nice if there was a way, as with Mediawiki sites, that we could go to a details page if that exact package exists or search on that string if not. That would eliminate the need for two plugins.

I did not publish these to Mycroft (repository for Mozilla/Sherlock search plugins) because the feed browser URL appears temporary. If this is wrong I will (or someone else can) publish these to mycroft.

The icon is the same for both plugins, it is scaled version of the Opiezilla logo from http://opie.handhelds.org/

Sorry for the .tar.gz, the forum won't let me upload .src files even though they are just plain markup-style text.

Hope this is useful!

(in case you don't know what to do with these: place the files in the searchplugins/ directory of your browser profile directory and restart the browser) System wide location for Firefox is /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins.
