Try this link.  I haven't tried it yet but I know it creates the file.  I just need to install gimp on my sd card (I hope).

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rc14 C-1000 - No Space Left On Device

« on: August 11, 2005, 08:42:54 am »

To remove a package,
- I check the desired package in the installed list
- click on the 3rd Icon from the up-left corner
- it asks me OK or Cancel ?
- click OK
- look at the Log tab to see what happens and usually it works

BUT it seems that it doesn't remove everything as I don't recover a lot of free space after removing big packages.

I never tried with Gaim and never installed to CF/SD

I am just starting using PdaXrom so I am not an expert.

Thanks.  That is what I have been doing.  Maybe there is an issue with removing gimp from the z.  I'll keep on trying and update with my success.  

I appreciate all the help as I am a pdaXrom novice.  But, I really do like the rom even though there are a few minor quirks which will eventually get figured out.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rc14 C-1000 - No Space Left On Device

« on: August 10, 2005, 09:32:06 pm »

Hi,

I installed everything on /mnt/user and everything works:
Gimp(though I have a crash while opening a file), gnumeric, kde-pim 2.0.14, Treeline, Rox, gpe-edit, mplayer, python, ...
If it matters I copied the pdaxrom feed on my CF card and install everything from it
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91422\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Thanks, I'll do that in the future.  

Do you know how to remove a package directly in the Package Manager?  I think I am missing something (probably simple).  

I tried to remove gimp so I can reinstall on the cf but it says that it can not find it on the cf?  I assume when I hit the 'sprocket' button on the gui and the 'install on /0KB' is selected that I am trying to remove the package from the memory.  I tried the ipkg remove gimp but it did not work.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rc14 C-1000 - No Space Left On Device

« on: August 10, 2005, 03:21:05 pm »

Does anybody have any recommendations in order to free up some space on a C1000?  I have the RC14 and I have only installed gaim and gimp (I think I started off with 14 MB after to flash).  

When I installed gimp it brought my available space left to 0.  My wireless card is not working anymore (Ambicom CF).

I sent the command 'cardctl scheme "Wireless-Name" ' and it could not set the scheme.  '.:  No space left on device'.  I tried to uninstall gaim but it did not work with 'ipkg remove gaim'.  Any ideas or suggestions to "free" up some space.  The free command says I have 15660 free.   Can I transfer some programs to an SD card or move to another location in the memory?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rc10.4 For Sl-c1000

« on: August 10, 2005, 08:41:50 am »

Thanks.  I got as far as opening the kernel.map file in SciTE and there are only two keycodes listed.

keycode 89 = Alt
keycode 88 = Control

I added 'keycode 112 = Shift' and tried to save the file but it would not let me save it under the current name.  If there is a trick for this, maybe a chmod?, please let me know.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91333\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

That doesn't sound like the correct keymap... mine is:

Code: [Select]

# cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
keycode 65 = Tab
 Â       alt     keycode 65 = Caps_Lock
 Â       shift   keycode 65 = Caps_Lock
 Â       control keycode 65 = Caps_Lock
keycode 27 = Shift
keycode 30 = Alt
keycode 88 = Control
keycode 89 = Alt
keycode 90 = nul
keycode 40 = nul
keycode 121 = nul
keycode 122 = nul
keycode 112 = Shift
The permissions:

Code: [Select]

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          273 Aug  8 19:44 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
If you're logged in as root you should be able to edit that file.

The date on my kernel. map file is  Jan 1 1970 and the permissions are as you listed.  I am also logged in as root.

Can I copy the current kernel.map, edit it (with the keycodes you have listed), and save it as kernel1.map then delete the kernel.map and replace with the modified kernel1.map and rename the file back to kernel.map.

The kernel.map file is located in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map

Ah, yes, that's where it is!  Thanks -- I've updated my original post with the correct path.

The right hand shift key doesn't seem to work
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=90829\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

You can fix the right-hand shift not working by modifying /etc/sysconfig/kernel.map:

Instead of
  keycode 103 = Shift

Change the keycode to 112:

  keycode 112 = Shift

103 is actually the '.' key, maybe just a typo...?

This is probably only good for the C1k and C3k.

I don't have the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel.map  

I am running a c1000 with kathrinrc10.4

Any ideas?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / A Quick Issues For A Pdaxrom Newbie

« on: August 08, 2005, 08:33:59 pm »

my current workaround is to pop that line into the xserver args in /usr/X11R6/bin  and save it as startxm ( for mouse) this way if I want to use the mouse I start X with startxm  if not jist plain old startx
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=82170\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I tried to edit the file /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and I received a "permission denied" from -bash.  

This is what I did.  

I changed the line in startx to the following:  

serverargs="-mouse /dev/input/mouse0" in the file and saved it as startxm.  

The file saved, I exited X and used the command startxm at the prompt.

Update:  I did a chmod 755 to startxm and it solved the issue.  Now to figure out the portrait mode to landscape mode.

Update:  I fixed the portrait to landscape mode with the xrandr -0 right

Thanks for the very helpful information.

Update on the above:  I lose the mouse function when it suspends.  I have to exit and restart X, sometimes twice or even a full reboot because the zaurus will freeze.  

Also, can I add the 'xrandr -o right' to the server args so I don't have to send the command after startxm?

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Where Can I Get A Usb Mini-a Online?

« on: July 16, 2005, 12:01:12 pm »

I would like to run my extrnal hard drive and possibly a small printer from a USB Hub using my Zaurus C3000

I'd like to set up my system similar to the one described at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/ but all of the materials described on that site were purchased in Australia...I cannot find the corrct cables online (or the USB Port he mentions) that are sold elsewhere...yet the ones he describes that are available in Australia don't seem to be available for shipping outside the country.

Am I missing something?

It's either your not running the default sharprom from japan, you modified the kernel, or you are not installing from /mnt/cf or /mnt/card

you get an error if installing from other directories too dip into the directories.

i backed up and restored the desktop with backup restore to default, i redownloaded the file, extracted, installed from kino2 folder off the cf card, it works fine.

thanks for the reply, i had a .preinst abort so i typed in the terminal $ su # rm  /usr/lib/ipkg/info/bvdd.preinst, then ipkg installed the bvdd file from the terminal and it worked, i am going to try the other two files and will report my findings --- update --- i loaded the other two files, followed your instructions and it works great!  thanks..
