Thanks Lardman for the clarification.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Matchbox Card Applet For Oz

« on: September 28, 2006, 03:25:30 am »

Am I the only one that thinks that some people should

a) learn how to use google
B ) actually do something instead of harassing developers

?

+1 Flamebait.

Stupid answers for stupid questions? Try not abusing your users - especially those with valid concerns.

+1 for a new GPE card applet. I would write one with Python or somesuch but I just don't have time right now to research creating an applet for the menu system in GPE (my brain is fried from doing webdev all day, so excuse my   ).

Koen, I really appreciate what you and the other devs have done with OZ, but take it easy on the users. Maybe some more cross-posting of good info between the OZ wiki and the forums? Bug reporting guidelines/tips in the wiki would be a good start. I want to report bugs (lots), but I am not going to report bugs if I get flamed by the devs for not placing it in the right bug tracker or some other nonsense. "You didn't read man 8 of $randompackage! RTFM! GCC isn't supposed to be able to compile executables out of the box! RTFM!" Your post ^ is a case in point.

Maybe a blog on the OZ page relating to what is being fixed in the bugtracker, when important packages have been updated, what is in the pipeline for developement.. oz-dev mailing list is nice, but I don't know. Something is missing. People get flamed for "stupid" questions (Why doesn't a pda distro have a card control/wifi/$randomuseful applet?) and it probably isn't healthy for the community. Maybe its because OZ may not have any active "Community Relations" people? /rant

Got Flamebait?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Logged Out From Gpe At Suspend/resume

« on: August 30, 2006, 04:46:20 pm »

I have noticed this issue as well with 3541. It occours on my spitz about once every 15 suspend/resume cycles with only gpe-address book, sketch book, and timesheet open. If I have Abiword or Sylpheed open, it occours every time I resume from suspend.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Taskbar Light Applet For Cxks?

Cacko Combined Battery/Overclock applet for PXA270 models will do what you want (although to turn the lcd off takes 2 clicks)

Get it from here or wait till Cacko CxK comes out (should be real soon now )

Had to do a restore after installing this on my 3k (did not have cacko rom installed).

I would also be interested in this. I use the Zaurus for long periods in low light conditions (reading in the dark). It would be nice if it was possible to reduce the brightness level of the backlight beyond the lowest setting, which seems to strain my eyes while reading. It would be great to have an app to contol these variables.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / A Kernel With Everything

« on: May 27, 2005, 03:18:52 am »

Unfortunately after installing this kernel update the SD card no longer appears to be auto-mounted by the Zaurus when it is inserted. I followed these steps when installing the update:

1). Downloaded and transferred zImage and updater.sh to an empty SD card.
2). Downloaded 2.4.20.modules.tar.gz; gunzipp'ed and extracted the tar file to /hdd2/
3). Created symlink (as root) with following commands

Code: [Select]

cd /home/root
mv modules modules.orig
ln -s /hdd2/modules modules4). Ran

Code: [Select]

ls /lib/modules/Shell echo'ed desired result: 2.4.20 .
5). Rebooted my 3000, ran kernel updater from SD card. Rebooted again.

After rebooting noticed that I was unable to access SD card (it was not being auto-mounted); no SD icon/applet in application bar.

6). After viewing m-morino's post, perfomed

Code: [Select]

$ su
# bash
bash-2.05 # ln -s /lib/modules{.rom,}/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o
Recieved error message

Code: [Select]

ln: /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o: No such file or directory
Re-ran as

Code: [Select]

bash-2.05 # ln -s /lib/modules.rom/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.odid not recieve an error message.

7). Ran

Code: [Select]

depmod -a
Depmod echo'ed the following:

Code: [Select]

depmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.ieee1394map is not an ELF file
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.pnpbiosmap
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/media/radio/miropcm20.o
At this point the Zaurus is still unable to automount the SD card. I have not attempted to manually mount the card. Any suggestions you have are welcome. Step by step instructions for resolving this issue via the shell are appreciated.

Edit: After installing this update I am also no longer able to connect the 3000 via USB to an NT 5.1 based machine and have it be recognised when using PC Link in Storage mode. Tested my CF devices (modem and 10/100 ethernet card) and both appear to be detected properly.
