Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Mplayer On Gpe

« on: June 07, 2007, 09:32:36 am »

But if it worked under opie I dont see why it wouldnt work under gpe.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=162782\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The mplayer package does not show up on Angstrom feed for Sharp SL-5500 (Collie) machine. Albeit the Collie does not have audio driver yet, video playback with subtitles is useful as well.

Can you upload the mplayer to the Collie's feed please?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opera7.55 For Oz/opie 3.5.4-rc

« on: June 07, 2006, 01:44:33 am »

All right, this is making me crazy. I have tried everything I know to get this working. Between the bash problem and the suspend problem, I decided to roll back from Hentges 3.5.4.1 to 3.5.4rc. I've gotten everything back up and running except Opera.

I was running 7.55.6079, however I decided to try the 7.55.OZ3.5.4 version this go round. So I got rid of *opera* on the entire system, and installed 7.55.OZ3.5.4. Followed the advice in this thread, including making sure the symlink to /root/.opera pointed to /media/card/packages/opt/QtPalmtop/opera and reinstalling qpf-helvetica-240. I still get

# opera
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_voice.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_keyboard.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_keyboard.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_voice.ini"
Segmentation fault

Anyone got any pointers?

Thanks,

Create symlink /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ini to point to /media/card/packages/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ini

opera needs to be run using sharp-compat-libs. Verify, that
# ls -l /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           28 Mar 13 02:15 /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera -> /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/runcompat

On 5500 I strongly recommend you to go with root-on-SD, it would free up you from many headaches. I think it is good tradeoff against 16MB ROM that you would loose.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opera7.55 For Oz/opie 3.5.4-rc

« on: April 10, 2006, 11:29:54 am »

I use OZ 3.5.4 opie on SL-5500. It segfaulted for me as well:

# opera
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: ../apps
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_voice.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_keyboard.ini"
-snip-

Guys,

If this is the ‘only’ opera ipk that you have tried to install... then there should only be one opera.ini on your system? If this is true then your ipkg-link has missed a symlink. To correct this, in terminal do:

Code: [Select]

ipkg-link mount /media/card/packagesor to be sure that you have a symlink do:

Code: [Select]

ln -s /media/card/packages/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera /home/root/.operaFor the record this has been tested on the collie and poodle with the final release of OZ3.5.4.

I’ll attach an image of your post here:

Ok, I managed to launch opera.  
Turns out that the package looks into directory /packages/... for its files, assuming that it was installed onto SD and /packages is link to the SD.

I have altboot to boot opie from SD, so I don't have the /packages directory.
After I did  following commands, opera started working:
cd /
ln -s / packages

The opera.ini has assumption that home directory is /root. On OpenZaurus the home directory is /home/root:
cd /
ln -s /home/root

The .opera symlink in root's home directory must point to /opt/QtPalmtop/opera, and not /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera (as I initially thought).

Still, the opera start is not flawless - I have got following messages during launch:
# opera
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: ../apps
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: libvxm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /media/ROM/.operasave
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /var/.operasave
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /media/card/.operasave

What did you change?

It segfaults on me with OZ 3.5.4 release:

/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: ../apps
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"

I installed qpe-font-helvetica(x)...  any help appreciated

libqte used in sharp-compat-libs does not work with TrueType fonts (which are default in 3.5.4) so you have to install some of QPF fonts to get any application which use sharp-compat-libs working.

ipkg install -force-overwrite qpf-helvetica-240
( Used -force-overwrite because both qpf-helvetica-240 and qte-fonts-common
provided the binary /usr/sbin/update-qtfontdir)

But still, the segfault persists.

Can anyone help me please?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / International Fonts On Oz 3.5.4 - Gpe

« on: April 09, 2006, 09:31:33 am »

Hello,

I want to use russian on the OZ 3.5.4 (GPE), and have no luck.

gpe-mini-browser shows question marks (in all encodings), dillo2 - the same.
Does any of the browsers support UTF-8 somehow?

Do you known whether the OZ 3.5.4 has russian fonts at all?
How can I install them?

I am also interested in hebrew support.

Is there a way to use opera browser for GPE?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Gpe-image

« on: November 19, 2005, 12:38:02 pm »

I would be willing to wager a small amount that it's conencted to apmd being disabled on the Collie (5000D/5500/5500G) by default in OZ/GPE 3.5.3.  I notice the same thing under OPIE if I comment out the /dev/apm_bios in /etc/device_table.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=83568\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I saw that under OZ/GPE 3.5.4RC on 5500 /dev/apm_bios is created by /etc/init.d/devices script and then deleted by GPE. This breaks suspend and reboot.
Is it done on purpose?
If I rerun /etc/init.d/devices script, suspend and reboot work.
How can I make GPE not to remove the file?

I seem to remember that atd interfered with apmd - there's a post my mickeyl somewhere saying this.
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I submitted bug regarding the problem into

Please continue the atd-related discussion over there.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Ssh -x

« on: November 17, 2005, 10:03:20 am »

Dropbear is used for ssh, perhaps it doesn't support this option.

If this is the case, install the full openssh from the feed instead of dropbear (which is installed as it's smaller),

Dropbear that is supplied with OZ 3.5.4RC does X forwarding by default.
It does not honor .ssh/authorized_keys file however.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Looking For Feeds

« on: November 17, 2005, 07:55:31 am »

I tried installing BL again with -V9. Looks like to feed packages are arch=arm, and this one here is arch=armv5te. Probably explains why ipkg refuses to install it.

See:

P.S. Hmm, it might not be happy installing as this is for the ARM5 arch (and you're ARM4 if you have a 5500). You could try downloading and sticking the bl binary in /usr/bin, but it might not work due to instruction set differences.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=99967\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I downloaded the ipk file (it turns out to be regular deb package). I extracted only the binary "bl" and copied it onto my Zaurus 5500.

It worked perfectly! (despite of package name saying that the binary is compiled for ARM5).

Now, you can package into the feed. I would put (both ipaq's and sharp's bl) into device-dependent feed (... /feed/3.5.4/feed/machine/).

5500, OZ 3.5.4RC (Root on SD), GPE

Feed has apmd daemon (it is even installed into initrd), but no utilites are provided (at, atq, atrm).

I don't know where OE has it packaged. How can I check?

Why is openembedded.org site down?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.3 Upgrades

« on: November 16, 2005, 11:49:55 am »

Wrong thread - this is not a bug-tracking thread, it's thread in which you can request a given package to be built from OE and added to the feed.

This post should be in the bug tracking thread for 3.5.3.

If I could work out how, I would move it there myself.


Si
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=103907\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Ok, I have a request for this thread as well:
I see that package at is not packaged in any of the OZ feeds, only atd is. And without "at" it is useless.
Can "at" be packaged as well please?

Regarding the gxine, can you point me to the proper thread, so as I would repost the bugreport there?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.3 Upgrades

« on: November 16, 2005, 08:05:25 am »

I'd love to try a working package for gpe-nmf...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=75731\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Will do this as soon as I have time - in the mean time, there's gxine in the upgrades feed, which does a much better job, last I checked.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77087\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I just installed gxine from the feed "3.5.3 upgrades" onto my Collie 5500.
MP3 playback works (albeit with some problems - see below).

I had following problems:
* GPE is auto-logged in as an user and gxine would not play any audio, because by default /dev/sndstat, /dev/audio* belong to root and have permissions 660. Needs to be fixed in /etc/device_table and rebooted.
* No video playback (mpeg1) out of the box (audio plays fine). And no prompt about this, just the blank screen. May be gxine needs some special packages for the video playback... I saw there is dxr3 xine vo, is it applicable on Zaurus?
* Attempt to playback ogg resulted in "Segmentation Fault"

One more thing that is not clear to me: all the modules for gxines are small, IMHO all of them can be packaged into single package (even the gxine itself). Some of them will not be used, but it would ease life for many users (the only thing that matters at the end of the day).

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Up To Date Feed For Gpe

« on: November 16, 2005, 05:35:13 am »

If you want to have a lot of bugs fixed and/or try new apps like gpe-mini-browser, add http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/sfeed/ to your feeds.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=93311\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I tried to install gst-plugins and got following output:
# ipkg  install gst-plugins_0.8.7-r3_arm.ipk
Installing gst-plugins (0.8.7-r3) to root...

//usr/lib/ipkg/info/gst-plugins.postinst: 14: gconftool-2: not found
//usr/lib/ipkg/info/gst-plugins.postinst: 14: gconftool-2: not found

Package gconf-dbus provides the binary, but gst-plugin does not depend on the package.
