General Discussion / chmod on /proc tree

« on: May 27, 2004, 04:41:51 pm »

echo 1 ] /proc/sys/net/irda/max_tx_window  
echo 1000 ] /proc/sys/net/irda/min_tx_turn_time  

I was able to make them when using tkr with a cacko kernel.  Now I just get:
cannot create /proc/sys/net/irda/max_tx_window: directory non-existent.  

If it worked with the tkr (theKompany rom I guess) and not cacko then the cacko kernel doesn\'t have the irda patch that lets you do what you are trying to do.

If you look at this page and search for min_tx_turn_time you\'ll get to this:

Code: [Select]

Note that the patch adding max_tx_window to the IrDA stack is included only in kernel 2.4.22, for earlier kernel to fetch a patch up hereYou\'d have to see if the cacko guys could put this on their to-include list if this is the case...

General Discussion / chmod on /proc tree

Why?  

/proc is not a normal filesystem, its a mechanism through which parts of the kernel are exposed to allow easy access to information that it contains aswell as providing tuning options for certain modules.   As a consequence the filesystem attributes are typically fixed....

5x00 Hardware / 5600 worth it? Or go with 5500?

« on: May 17, 2004, 05:48:56 pm »

Memory... with the 5500 and one of the kernels with a 64-0 memory split (e.g. Crow like) you have the trade off of running with your filesystem on an SD card but you do have the full 64Mb to run programs in.

Linux Issues / mandrake 10 : IPV6 ?

« on: May 17, 2004, 03:23:44 pm »

Well you have both an eth0 and a ppp0 (this is likely to be the usbmodem)... but both seem to have very similar packet receive/transmitted counts.  eth0 is using IPv6 while ppp0 is IPv4.

What does the  route show as your default gateway?

In theory once you know which interface is being used as your default gateway you\'ll know the ip-address and interface to use... but if it is eth0 then you\'ll need to install the iptables-ipv6 rpm and use ip6tables instead of iptables.

... Reboot the zaurus.... Bob, will then be your sister\'s brother.... Hopefully    ....

Hummmm. Not that I\'m an expert, but shouldn\'t that be:

 \"Bob, will then be your mother\'s brother\"? (aka \"Bob\'s yur uncle\") <G>.

Bob W
(not an uncle!)

Oops... very true, but since my middle name is Robert then Bob is my sister\'s brother

Professional photographers would go for them.... less heat and power consumption than a microdrive...  and they can write it off as a business expense.... the fake tits seems a far worther use of the money!!!!

Qt/Qtopia / WarCraft on the Zaurus (640x480)? "FreeCraft" or &

« on: May 07, 2004, 05:32:37 pm »

Make no promises about this as I\'ve not tried/tested it or ever used lua but I downloaded the source and cross compiled it.... and here\'s the shared library you appear to need.  Unzip it and make sure it has 755 permissions.

Good Luck

Qt/Qtopia / WarCraft on the Zaurus (640x480)? "FreeCraft" or &

« on: May 07, 2004, 05:10:35 pm »

Ok... now it says:

Code: [Select]

./stratagus: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

I downloaded lua_5.0.2_arm, (from http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1916) but it appears to be an executable and not a library.  Where do I get the needed LUA libraries?

Unforuntately that appears to be a lua interpreter and not a shared library....

That looks like the \"suit\" model.  I figure that it won\'t fit the 6k as it was designed for your 5500.  I\'ve actually been eyeing the \"gadget case\" version.  It apears more bulky but seems to be intended to carry all of your sundry items including the charger - which is really what I need anyway.

Nice up close pic of the quality though!

Oops, should have looked closer!  Yes, its a great case, though the metal is painted and its lost some paint on the raised parts of the embossed \"Zaurus\".  Doesn\'t bother me enough to warrant touching it up with some matt black paint....

Sorry, don\'t have the appropriate measuring device to hand - but its a snug fit for a 5500.  There\'s no velcro or any other thing to hold it in.....

Here\'s a pic of my 5500 in the case:

Software / SubApplet 1.0.8

« on: May 05, 2004, 05:56:03 pm »

On C860 stock Sharp ROM c/ English language mods by Dynamism.

Well do have plans to get myself one of those one of these days.... unless someone wishes to lend me one :-)

The 1.0.8 version has changes to the GUI layout which might make a difference - will try to use as much space as it can get its hands on.  Give it a try if there is still a problem send me a screen shot and I can see if I can work out what is wrong.  

There seems to be something odd when you rotate a 5XXX....can\'t seem to get it to behave, always a bit of the dialog hidden under the taskbar - which doesn\'t happen in normal portrait mode.

thanks tecknobabble. I\'ve went to the http://www.hrw.one.pl/zaurus/ before. what do you mean by \"Tweaked SubApplet package for OpenZaurus 3.3.6-pre1 (or other systems based on GCC 3.x) (may be hard to install)\"?

I\'ve tried to install using ipkg but there is a problem.

ipkg install -d sd subapplet_1.0.7-r0_arm.ipk  
Cannot find package subapplet_1.0.7-r0_arm.ipk.
Check the spelling or perhaps run \'ipkg update\'

Guide appreciated.

Worse case do it by hand.  A copy of the OZ3.3.6pre1 ipk I was sent is on sourceforge: subapplet_1.0.7-oz336pre1_arm.ipk.

As I recall OZ uses ar archives, so you can then do:

Code: [Select]

cd /tmp

ar xvf subapplet_1.0.7-oz336pre1_arm.ipk

which will give you 3 files, of which the data.tar.gz file is the most important.  Here\'s a list of its contents:

Code: [Select]

tar ztf data.tar.gz

./opt/

./opt/QtPalmtop/

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/subapplet/

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/subapplet/2downarrow.png

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/subapplet/2uparrow.png

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/subapplet/button_ok.png

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/subapplet/info.png

./opt/QtPalmtop/pics/subapplet/button_cancel.png

./opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/

./opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/

./opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/libsubapplet.so.1.0

./opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/libsubapplet.so.1.0

./opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/libsubapplet.so

./opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/libsubapplet.so.1

Place the pics in the appropriate pics location and the shared library and its links in their place.  Don\'t have an OZ/OE zaurus yet, but you should find that /opt/QtPalmtop is either a real dir or a symbolic link to somewhere..... Reboot the zaurus.... Bob, will then be your sister\'s brother.... Hopefully    Any OZ/OE wielding zaurus person will hopefully correct any inaccuracies.....

i\'m having a problem on installing subapplet v1.0.7 previously on oz v336. I\'ve tried the subapplet on tkc rom before, cool applet. Keep up the good work. Feel free to advise me. Thanks

Well the guy who\'s post is just above you is more active in the OZ/OE side of things than I am has built at least an OZ3.3.6pre1 ipk of the 1.0.7 SubApplet.    I have a copy of that ipk at the sourceforge site, and you can find his website here.  Some of the gui tweaks are those he did for the 1.0.7 OE version.

Minor update to the previous 1.0.7 release.

The 1.0.8 release incorporates some minor GUI tweaks along with a postrm script that will unhide any applets that the subapplet was managing when the package is uninstalled.

Release available from here

If you\'ve got 1.0.7 already installed there\'s probably not much reason for upgrading.
