User Request for Applications / New Sync Program

« on: February 07, 2006, 05:17:53 pm »

Hey Guys,
I had sucess syncing opie with sunbird using multisync:
http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/1732/screen0702069la.jpg
First of all if get the branch version of multisync from here:
http://packman.rsync.zmi.at/debian/sid/multisync-cvs/
There is the source in the tarball, if you dont have Debian Sid. I compiled it on Debian Sarge, but had a problem with evolution plugin, so took it out from my build rule. By the way then the multisync didnt worked fine. So I just took the compiled sunbird plugin and used it with the multisync0.82 included in sarge.
It works  
But you have to attend to two additional things. The plugin uses local ics files from sunbird. Newer sunbird versions store them in a database, so that is bad. In this case I downloaded the recent Calendar extension for thunderbird (is a little sunbird) which stores the calendar in ics.
The other thing which is related to that, you have to configure the plugin by environment Variables:
http://www.mail-archive.com/multisync-user...t/msg02186.html
For me, as an example, I have to this in the shell, from which I start multisync, before I start it:

Code: [Select]

export MULTISYNC_SUNBIRD_CALENDARS='/home/sam/Calendar/Home.ics;/home/sam/.mozilla-thunderbird/pleasechooseyourownprofile/Calendar/CalendarDataFile2.ics'So you have to locate, where you ics files are.
By the way I am really lucky about that, because I can sync sunbird with webdav calendar at work  
Thats it
Cheers,
Sam

PS: For Zautix: This could be also a nice way for Kopi, I remember you use ics too.

Well a NAND restore is tricky with the c3000 afaik, because you will need a 4Gig Flash Card, since NAND is on HD.This is afaik the reason why the c3100 now comes with 128 flash. So be carefull by playing with alternative systems on the device.
I think the best site about the c3000 at moment is Meanies Website:

How long does it run on one charge?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=89296\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The stylistic? Since it is a low voltage centrino it ran about 4-5 Hours as it was new. Now after a year I assume about 3 Hours.
Chears,

It is a good sign that it comes with xp tabletpc edition. No, I am not a windows friend. But in the case of tabletpcs the tabletpc edition means it has a digitizer pen and not a touchsensitive display. The Flybook for example doesnt have a digitizer. This is bad, because it happens often that you hit your display without an intention.
For me the display is too small. I have a fujitsu-siemens stylistic 5010 and I like it because it is really slim and the weight is about 1.5 Kg.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

« on: July 04, 2005, 07:32:21 pm »

Hi,
maybe the reason it works with hentges is, that hentges is using openssh instead of dropbear.
Cheers,

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz "zimage" On Hentges?

« on: July 02, 2005, 12:45:26 pm »

Well you can try it on your own. It is possible just to flash the kernel. If it dont fits, you can flash the original kenel back.
The other possibility is to wait. I am sure, CoreDump will surely apply the patches for suspend/resume to his system. But for now, he is temporarily offline because he changed his appartement and waiting for internet in his new home.

General Discussion / 860 Vs. Sl1000

« on: June 27, 2005, 03:14:33 pm »

I have c1000 at work and to me the keyboard seems to better as the 860 keyboard. I never saw a 860, but a 760 once for about five minutes (I missed to measure the seconds   ). Can someone who knows both devices well confirm this?
Cheers,
Sam

OZ/Opie works fine and looks lovely.
OZ/Gpe needs some little hacks, but gives you X

And last but not least, some screenshots:
The desktop:

The blind, dim and light buttons:

gxine on the sl-c1000:

Sorry that these workarounds are quick and dirty. But they make the device usable for me, so I dont have to take out two pdas with me.
Cheers,

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe Image For C1000

Ok, because of the frequent interest on the topic GPE on Sl-C1000 I will continue...  
Most important thing to do with a nice pda like the sl-c1000 is to be able to hear music with it. This is because then you have a reason to take your pda out with you and people now look on your pda. This is a good feeling.
For hearing music, first you need a nice player:

Code: [Select]

ipkg install gxineMake sure you have a the upgrades feed configured to ipkg.
Second is, you need a dim function for your display and maybe also are able to suspend display. So for light configuration on the device you will need:

Code: [Select]

ipkg install slutilsThis package provides you with a tool named slbl
After that you need an icon to dim the display, so you dont have extensive battery usage out there. Go to /usr/share/applications and create an icon named dim.desktop (how to do this is mentioned in the past posting in this thread)
The dim.desktop contains:

Code: [Select]

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Dim
Comment=Dim
Exec=slbl 1
Icon=
Terminal=0
Type=Application
And getting back to full light you will need another icon. I created /usr/share/applications/light.desktop for this reason, that contains:

Code: [Select]

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Light
Comment=Light
Exec=slbl 6
Icon=
Terminal=0
Type=Application
The third and the last thing is to get display off, after you got tuned into your music. I created /usr/share/applications/blind.desktop for this reason, which contains:

Code: [Select]

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Blind
Comment=Blind
Exec=slbl 0
Icon=
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Be carefull now. You have to remember, where the icon for dim or the icon for light is on your desktop to be able to resume display lights. Otherwise you have to ssh to the device and type "slbl 1" or do a hardreset. But if you know where the icon is, you can resume display, because touchscreen is still listening to touch events   . So do the blind thing on your own, I am not responsible, if you have to reset.
Have fun

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe Image For C1000

So I solved some Problems.
First we fix the landscape bug.
You will need an editor with root rights. I use su on console for root, then vi as editor. In vi you go to edit mode by typing i, after editing exit edit mode by esc, the type :wq for quit and save.
First we repair the rotation.
Edit /usr/bin/xrandr-panelapp.sh
and change it to:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$(xrandr | grep rotation | grep right)" ]
then
xrandr -o normal
xmodmap /etc/X11/xmodmap-portrait
else
xrandr -o right
xmodmap /etc/X11/xmodmap-right
fiThen we go to /etc/X11/Xinit.d and edit 01xrandr
Change it to:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

xrandr -o right
For going sure check 11zaurus in the same directory. Change it if neccessary to:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "`which chkhinge`" ]; then
 Â  # probably not a clamshell zaurus
 Â  exit 0
fi

chkhinge -e
if [ $? = 12 ]; then
 Â  xrandr -o right
fiNow we need a possibility to suspend. I tried xmodmap, but no chance. I found out the keycode is 109, but when I modify xmodmap, I cant login anymore. So I created a softbutton.
Go to /usr/share/applications
then create new icon:

Code: [Select]

touch suspend.desktopThen edit this file and fill in:

Code: [Select]

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Suspend
Comment=Suspend
Exec=apm --suspend
Icon=gpe-config-sleep.png
Terminal=0
Type=ApplicationThis button works for suspend and you can resume by the on/off button.
Have fun    
Sam

update:
suspend seems to work generally. I can suspend with

Code: [Select]

apm --suspendSeems to be a button issue.
