Zaurus - pdaXrom / Web Browser Suggestions
« on: December 09, 2006, 06:32:33 pm »
I posted this on another thread too.  I am a "Dillo if it works, Firefox otherwise person".

But when I am at home I SSH into my linux box and run firefox remotely.  It perfoms much better and takes a lot less memory.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Browsers In Pdaxrom
« on: December 09, 2006, 06:24:15 pm »
I am mostly in the "Dillo for anything I can make work, firefox for everything else" camp.

But when I am at home, I SSH into my linux box and run firefox from there.  It works great.  Much faster, takes less memory, and has plugins included.

The PC, by the way, cost me $30 off craigslist and I run Damn Small Linux on it.  

I am not sure why more zaurus users don't use it as an X thin client.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Solved: Developing Under Pdaxrom Impossible?
« on: August 23, 2006, 01:28:02 pm »
I have the same issues on my C760.  I found that using swapd makes it usable.

If I use dillo to test then it is fine.  If I have to use firefox it is too painful to really be usable.

Hi, I'm wondering something... does that moznx plugin for linux work on any platform or is it arch dependent?

The good thing about moznx is that it is completely open source - just like nxrun.  If you can compile it you can run it.  It already runs on Windows and Linux, so most other platforms are just variations.  I already had a guy tell me he was porting to OS/2 with some success.  It is a binary, however, so it has to be compiled to work.

Additionally, if it is platform dependent and I wanted to create a java based client, what should I be looking to change in the build method?

That being said, you have to be able to compile all the nomachine open source client components to get it to work, so I have never seen the point of a solution that was not binary.  As long as you are compiling the nomachine components, why not compile the client as well.  For what it is worth, there are java clients out there, but they still require the patform-dependent nomachine components to run, so the applets cannot run aribitrarily on any platform.  

Moznx and nxrun share a library that implement the nomachine protocol.  Unfortunately, the protocol is a pain.  They are constantly changing it and nomachine and freeNX are not 100% compatible.  The various versions of clients and servers are not fully compatible.

I have about given up on the nxc library and I am focusing on some other things but they unfortunately depend on the closed-source client.

Luckily there is another developer working on nxc with support from Google Summer of Code.  However, he has not updated the published source code as far as I can see.  I do expect him to and I hope he will improve its stability.

Also, a quick plug for my friends at cosmopod.com.  If you don't understand how seriously cool NX is, then this site will give you a very easy way to check it out.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Vs Oz & Gpe
« on: June 02, 2006, 03:14:00 pm »
I use pdaXrom.

I still find Firefox to be heavy and slow, but it is great to have full compatibility with desktop browsers.  I have even done firefox extension development on my z.

I use Dillo whenever I can and only fall back on Firefox when I absolutely have to.

Security and Networking / Wireless Hotspots And The Z

Same experience.  No problems getting connected in airports or hotels.  While there is usually a fee in the airport it works fine.

Hmmm.  Well, there is a message about session restore.   Perhaps try making sure you have no suspended sessions on your server for this user and clear up the cache files on the server and client before trying again.

I am not sure if it will work.  I did get it to work with FreeNX a few times.

Ufortunately, lately I have been focusing my time more on fixing their browser plugin than on nxrun.

I have to admit I haven't been working on the gui in a while.  

I think your problem is you have to type a name into the session combobox before you hit the configure button.  It looks like it is trying to save the configuration file but there is no config filename.

Let me know if that addresses the problem.

General Discussion / Radio Streaming On The Z
« on: January 06, 2006, 02:22:43 pm »
Yes.  I use mplayer to do this on my SL-5500.  There was another shareware product called zradio or something that I used for a while, too.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Development For Gui+db?
« on: December 13, 2005, 10:22:05 am »
I use pdaxrom but it looks like the kopsis image will work with Cacko and has everything you need (see the python forum).

I have used lots of languages (C/C++, Java, Perl, PHP, VB, C#, etc), and I was able to pick up python/PyQT and be proficient building gui applications in a couple of days.

I haven't done any mysql work with it yet, but so far python is my favorite language for developing on the Z.  With Cacko you can use PyQT for gui.  I will try a little SQL proof-of-concept just to make sure.

Also, stay away from java on the zaurus - it will bring you heartache.

I spent the weekend using the Ambicom WI-FI card instead of the Socket card with my 760.  For what it is worth, I definitely prefer the Socket card.  the Ambicom juts out too much, drains the battery quicker, and also was a lot more finicky than the Socket.  Sometimes it wouldn't suspend/resume properly and sometimes I had trouble getting an IP Address.  I never have these problems with the Socket.

I have both.  I use the socket in my C-series and I have been happy with it so I have not tried the ambicom in it (it is in my 5500).  I will try it this weekend and let you know my preference.

pgas -

I just wanted to mention how helpful you are in these forums.  It is knowledgeable, patient posters like you that make this site (and the zaurus) so useful.

Thanks
