Sharp ROMs / Vim And .vimrc

HI,

Try this.   This works on my c860 on Cacko.  You might need to change the term line to match your set-up.

General Discussion / Too Much Uptime

« on: October 04, 2005, 10:25:28 am »

This is from memory so I may be wrong....

The internal uptime clock in 2.4 linux kernels is 100Hz (not MHz) so with a 32bit counter you can only measure 497 days before you get wrap around.  On new kernels the internal clock is 1000Hz and you get a wrap around after 49.7 days.

Qt/Qtopia / Chkhinge - Any Idea What This Program Does

Look in /home/QtPlamtop/qpe.sh for an example of how to use it or try

Code: [Select]

$ chkhinge
$ echo $?
$? is the bash for the exit status of the last program.  In chkhinge's case 0 is landscape and 2 portrait.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kernel 2.6.11 Seems To Break Usb Networking

« on: May 11, 2005, 06:34:46 am »

I can confirm this problem on DESKTOP linux ditros running 2.6.11.  The problem is marked fixed in the changelogs for 2.6.12.RC3 but I have not tried in yet.

Linux Issues / Connection Issue Driving Me Nuts

« on: April 20, 2005, 11:30:07 am »

In the changelog for 2.6.12.rc2 there is a fix to the usbnet support for the Zaurus to a bug that slipped in 2.6.11.  All the usb connectivity problems in the last week have been people upgrading to 2.6.11 on there PC.

I am one of the unfortunates that had the blinking mail light problem.  It does seem to signify a bad nand chip.  Watching the output from the serial cable you see the p2rom (the hardwired bit) trying and failing to load the data from the nand chip.

My solution sell for parts and buy a new one...  I love my Zaurus too much

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Usb Connection Z <-> Gentoo Linux

« on: April 19, 2005, 04:58:14 am »

There does seem to be a bug in the 2.6.11 kernel.  It has caught a couple of us (other topic).  I have checked the changelog for 2.6.12.RC2 and there is passing mention of an usbnet problem with the Zaurus being fixed.  This was working in 2.6.10 fine.

I don't know if this will help but I had this working with FC3, until I upgraded to the 2.6.11 kernel from 2.6.10.  I noticed imrambi is running 2.6.11.  I now get the same result.

Sharp ROMs / Cacko 1.22 Rom + Nl-2511cf Mercury

« on: April 07, 2005, 05:19:16 am »

I have two of these cards.  Both work with Cacko 1.22 without problem (if you have turned auto-connect off).  The card monitor will dentify them as Zonet ZCF1100 cards as this one card is sold with lots of diffent badges.

I always give the essid as both my home and work networks will not accept the 'Any' option (by design).  I also use kismet to check for access points.

Python / Missing Zlib ?

« on: March 18, 2005, 07:20:19 am »

I have just extracted the same file from the debian 2.4 package and the zlib.so file is the same in both  (the 2.3 version was compiled on one day and the 2.4 on the next).

Python / Missing Zlib ?

« on: March 18, 2005, 06:58:36 am »

Try putting this file your lib-dynload (or anywhere in your PYTHONPATH) and rename it "zlib.so".  I extracted it from the Debian arm Python 2.3 package and have tried in on the 2.4 image it imports and returns a sane __doc__ but have not tested it further.
