Angstrom & OpenZaurus / howto remove dead app icon from screen?

ipkg search should do the trick, too. And you don\'t have to fiddle with paths.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Dark gray stripes on screen after resume
« on: February 09, 2004, 10:44:52 am »
Hi guys,
I just had a scary experience with my Z 5500, OZ 3.3.6 and a Symbol WLAN card. I woke my Z (pressing Cancel) with my Symbol WLAN card already inserted and all it showed to me were moving dark gray stripes across the screen.
So I thought its maybe a bug and since I couldn\'t do anything else I flipped that battery switch to \"Replace Battery\". Well, that didn\'t change anything, so I flipped it back and pressed \"Cancel\" in the hope that the unit would power up. Nope, didn\'t change anything. I have no idea why I did it but I decided to pull out the WLAN card. Voila, the strips stopped moving and completely disappeard. Instead, I could see the Opie desktop again (a frozen desktop if that matters, anyway).
After flipping that little switch twice again I was able to start the Z and everything seems to be back to normal. Is it?
I thought that the battery switch would cut the power to the battery. Is that true? What did just happen to me and my Z?

General Discussion / handwriting pen stroke chart (or something)
« on: December 15, 2003, 10:14:53 pm »
When the handwriting pane is open look to the right of it. There should be four icons with the lowest one being a pen. Click on that one to modify the character set. The icon above it (the one with the question mark) shoud bring up a dialog with tips and a \"chart\" that shows how to write the characters.
(This is how it works with OpenZaurus but with the SharpROM it should be similar)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / need help w/ ROM update plz OZ 3.2 and 3.3
« on: December 09, 2003, 11:27:48 pm »
Bob_H, I think you are right although most (all?) CF cards are already formatted as FAT16 (I have read the advice NOT to reformat the CF card since this *might* cause problems).
Most likely the names of the files are not correct. If you used a computer with Windows to copy the files to the CF card it could be that they have a suffix that you don\'t see. E.g., initrd.bin is named initrd.bin.txt and you don\'t see the additional suffix because the Explorer hides it.
Make sure that the zImage file is named \"zImage\" and initrd.bin is named \"initrd.bin\". When you downloaded the files you might have to rename your \"zImage-SL-5500-52memory-12storage.bin\" (or similar) to \"zImage\" (no suffix here but leave the suffix in \"initrd.bin\").

Ok, I narrowed down the problem. On the console I get a message that says
The file
Could somebody please enlighten me a little bit since I\'m really confused now?
Code: [Select]
oscar: ISO-8859-1 IM conversion: Conversion from character set \'ISO-8859-1\' to \'UTF-8\' is not supportedThe file
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules does not contain any entry relating to \'UTF-8\'. I know that the gconv-modules from the oz-stable feed contains a module for UTF-7 but not for UTF-8.Could somebody please enlighten me a little bit since I\'m really confused now?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gaim under OZ 3.3.5
« on: December 09, 2003, 03:19:59 pm »
I was trying to install Gaim on OZ 3.3.5. Installation went fine, I installed all packages in the feed http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/feed/release to SD card. I can connect fine and send out messages but when I receive messages I only get \"(Error receiving message)\" (or something similar). I checked the FAQ where I found the advise to install gconf-tiny. I made sure that this package was installed but the problem still persists.
I tried to install gconv-modules but for some reason (even when I specify SD as destination) the package installer tells me that it installs the package to \"root\" (which, of course, fails because there is hardly any space left (1MB)).
Any advice?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Kismet and GPS data
« on: December 09, 2003, 02:46:06 pm »
Has anybody gotten Kismet 2.8.x/3.0.1 to output GPS data? I have installed qpegps and zroadmap and both are able to receive data from gpsd but kismet refuses to put anything but 90/180/0/0/-90/-180/0/0 into its xml file. I also don\'t get any *.gps files.
From my understanding wellenreiter should be able to output/display gps coordinates. Does that work? How?
