Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Disable Alerts In Calendar

« on: July 31, 2006, 05:59:57 pm »

Does any one know how to globally disable alerts in the calendar?   I sync with my windows desktop (M$ Outlook) which I want to alert me when a meeting/appointment is approaching but I do not want my Z to also do this.  I only want the entry of them in my Z's calendar so that I know my schedule at all times.   The alerts are just killing my batteries (I don't always have it with me so the Z turns on (Resumes) for the alert and I'm not there to suspend it (obviously it does this on it's own but it's still a waste battery life which my 4 year old Z doesn't have much of anymore)

Thanks!

Still hoping someone knows how to do this.  I was thinking there must be some sort of deamon that gets started that waits for a calendar event to trigger the alert but I'm not sure what/where it is to disable it.  Any help would be great!!!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Syncing - Effort To Create A Definitive Doc

« on: October 21, 2005, 10:53:04 am »

I recently switched over to the OZ rom..  Since then I haven't been able to connect to it thru the USB cradle either...      If I try to run ifup usbd0 I get
SIOCSIFNETMASK: no such device
SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device
route: SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: no such device

Ok so I'm stupid..  I didn't have the usb cable plugged into the PC..  BUT I still have an issue enabling the USBD0 device (always have since upgrading to OZ..  (2 months I think)..    

So as of now.. The device is "up" but not assigned an IP address.. I can not run ifdown or ifup against it...

ifdown responds with:
route: SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: no such device

lsmod does show usbdcode and usbdmonitor if that helps...    (also begining to think this was the wrong thread for this) (sorry bout that)

what are peoples /etc/network/interfaces files saying for usb networking(through the cradle)? I'm trying to get mine to work, but something's not right. Thoughts?

This was with a stock flash of 3.5.3...

Have you had any luck???  I'd flash again but I have no way of getting the image onto the  CF card.. Guess I need a CF reader for my laptop..  :-(

Zaurus - pdaXrom / USB Networking faq

It is not complex to establish a tcp connection between a XP and the Z via USB. The zaurus and XP is almost automatic.

On the zaurus check the USB setup with the the command ifconfig. You should have a en entry named usbd0 . Probably with an IP address 192.168.129.201 .
If this is missing then set it up with th USB function tool in the system folder (fill in Network, IP  and netmask (255.255.255.0) and click OK.
Then do the following command where xxx ist th IP on the XP you are connected to :
route add -host xxx usbd0

Then the zaurus is ready !

On the XP if you have installed the usb drivers you can configure your IP or let it be set automatic . I have configured it to 192.168.1.100  .  (to configer right click your net icon for the usb LAN and  under General open properties under TCPIP )

Then you need to open a dos window and do the following command where zzz is the IP on your Zaurus and xxx is the IP on your XP:
route add zzz xxx

If you want to telnet to your Zaurus you need to setup and install a telnet demon, but this is not recomended. Rather use ssh because the pdaxrom comes with a ssh server pr default.  From the XP use the ssh client putty (search for putty.exe at google) . 

I use Cygwin on my XP with ssh and X server which I consider to be the best way to do ssh and X forwarding.

I'm trying to get the USB network to work bwteen OZ and WinXP.. I had it working this morning with SharpRom3.1 before I "upgraded" to OZ..   I see usbd0 in the ifconfig but it does not have an assigned IP address..   I have tried to configure it in the Network application..   I noticed it shows usbd0 but the ip next to it shows 0.0.0.0.. When I click configure it shows the Static address I assigned in the dialog box..    If I try to restart it it fails..  I also noticed that if I type ifdown usbd0 on the command prompt I get the "route: SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: no such process...    

Any suggestions?
