Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Error while making opie-image

« on: October 07, 2004, 05:42:11 pm »

Hello,

I'm trying to compile my own openzaurus initrd.bin and zimage. I
followed instructions given in the oe_wiki:
http://www.openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/RDay5500

However, when I type:
oemake opie-image
, the process is killed! Here's the last lines of the output:

DEBUG: bindir-libdir bindir-libdir.patch
NOTE: import patch
'/mnt/IBMLinux/src/packages/python/python-native-2.3.3/bindir-libdir.patch'
as 'bindir-libdir.patch'
DEBUG: cross-distutils cross-distutils.patch
NOTE: import patch
'/mnt/IBMLinux/src/packages/python/python-native-2.3.3/cross-distutils.patch'
as 'cross-distutils.patch'

NOTE: package python-native-2.3.3-r0: task do_configure completed
NOTE: package python-native-2.3.3-r0: task do_compile started
Killed

I tried several times (each time, I deleted the tmp directory contents),
and I always got that "Killed" message. I NEVER cancelled the process.

What could be wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Can't start datebook, addressbook...

« on: September 28, 2004, 03:34:22 pm »

Yesterday, my 3.5.1 OZ (opie image) worked fine. I removed libsqlite0 in order to gain a few kbytes on the / filesystem.
This morning, I had a bad surprise: it's now impossible to start some programs, such as: datebook, addressbook, today, todolist.
What's wrong? The error message is quite simple:
"Could not locate application <whatever>"

Should I reinstall libsqlite0? If removing it breaks other packages, I assume a message should have appeared?
That's quite annoying: I mainly use my Zaurus as a PDA, and I need those programs!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Tons of errors while installing stuff on OZ 3.5.1

« on: September 23, 2004, 04:13:59 pm »

Hi,
I'm installing some packages on my Zaurus SL5500 with OpenZaurus 3.5.1 (opie image).
I get tons of error messages:
- packages missing (shfs-modules needed by shfs)
- functions already provided by busybox (when installing unzip)
- zaurus hangs, I have to reboot (when installing firefox)
Is that normal?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems with 3.3.6-pre1. Can't resume my Zaurus!!

« on: September 17, 2004, 04:20:27 pm »

Hello! I use:
- Sharp Zaurus SL5500
- Opie 1.1.4
- kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-021129
- OpenZaurus 3.3.6-pre1
I downloaded the ROM from http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3...opie1.1.4.shtml

I have the following problems:
- the backlight button does not work. I can turn backlight off, but I can't put it on.
- the keyboard is a qwertz layout
- WORST of all: I can't resume my Zaurus after a suspend! I have to push the "replace button" at the back of the PDA and restart it! That's really annoying!

Are those problems already known? I really would like to be able to resume my Zaurus! Could I solve some of those problems?
The / partition is installed on my 256Mb SD card (Kingston brand, made in Taiwan). I followed the instructions given there:
http://openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/...ot%20filesystem

I'm however quite happy with this ROM!

Thanks for the help...
Nicolas.
