General Discussion / Pocketworkstation: No Gui

« on: June 15, 2005, 06:38:17 pm »

Thanks for that. But:

It's not clear what "home" means here. Let me enumerate the possibilities, and say what is there and what I did:

/home/root: no .Xinitrc
/mnt/card/home: no root/

I tried creating .Xinitrc files in both of:

/home/root/
/mnt/card/home/root

with content:

icewm &

(I created the root directory in /mnt/card/home).

I still get the same results.

So even though there's no "X", we still use Xinitrc, huh? Would that this were better documented. I spent quite some time looking for answers before posting here.

I'll try to write up my experiences once I work out a good way to do this. There are too many scattered and half-documented pieces at the moment.

Thanks again.

Check the .xinitrc in your home dir (from memory) - the X server is running but you have no window manager.

General Discussion / Pocketworkstation: No Gui

I have Cacko 64/0 installed on my 5500. I have PocketWorkstation on a SD card. I can launch Vncserver, and connect with Fbvnc. But I have no GUI. Just a grey screen and a x cursor. And Fn-shift-q doesn't get me back out, either.

I tried running under OpenZaurus, but it crashed all the time. I would use Qtopia, but I can find no evidence of a 64/0 version of that.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

General Discussion / 5500: Won't Read Ridata 1gb Card; Feeds Fail

« on: June 09, 2005, 10:19:44 am »

I just got a 5500. Having done a little reading beforehand, I immediately installed Qtopia 2.1.1. I also got a Linksys CF WiFi card and a RiData 66x 1GB SD Card.

Two problems: although I can get a wifi connection and, say, ping places (odd that Qtopia doesn't include a web browser...), the feed that the thing comes with, or the one from the user group don't show anything when I try to get software from them.

Worse, though, is that my Z doesn't even recognize that the SD card was inserted. I can read that card in other devices, and I can read a 256MB card I have in the Z.

I've also tried Cacko, which didn't get very far because it couldn't format the card.

My aim, fwiw, is to run PocketWorkstation. It seems as though Qtopia 2.1 set to use 64/0 memory would be ideal for that, but I can't find anywhere how to set that up.

Thanks in advance.
