Software / Missing Some Library Files

« on: May 26, 2005, 12:14:55 pm »

Since I am using the backup image from TriSoft.de for C3000, Japanese input method has been removed. But the terminal programs, such as qpe-terminal-ja and embeddedkonsole, need some library files from Japanese input method: libqsfepj.so.* and libkke.so.*. Can anyone here share these files with me? Any of your help is greatly appreciated!

BTW. Why am I unable to input any double-byte characters in above console programs? All input characters become the question mark '?' Anybody has any ideas of how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot!

Software / Utf8-aware Terminal

« on: April 26, 2005, 11:09:06 pm »

The terminal application I am using right now on my C3000, qpe-terminal-ja_1.5.0-3_arm.ipk, seems not supporting UTF8-encoded file names. I am wondering if there are any terminal applications which support UTF-8 encoding?

Also the file manager application, TreeExplorer, cannot display the files names containing Asian characters. Are there anyway to allow me to specify which font to use in TreeExplorer? Or are there any other file managers supporting cutomized fonts and encodings?

Thanks a lot for any hints!

Software / Asian Language Input Bug In Addressbook

« on: April 21, 2005, 08:22:38 pm »

Zautrix, I downloaded and installed kdepim 2.1.1, everything was fine until I tried to type in chinese or japanese characters into the address book, the problem is that: the typed alphabetic letters are supposed to be caught by the input bar at the bottom of screen, but actually all typed letters entered the active field of address book directly as if there was no Asian input method. The result of this problem is that I cannot use any Asian characters in address book! But this problem does NOT exist in the Email program and the Organizer program. I CAN use Asian characters in both programs without any problems.

So the conclusion is that this problem must reflect a BUG in the AddressBook program. I remember I can type in Asian characters in the AddressBook of  earlier version of KDEPIM.

Please fix this bug and then I can start using KDEPIM from now on. Thanks a lot!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / C3000 As An Usb Host?

« on: February 13, 2005, 08:40:19 pm »

Since Zaurus SL-C3000 comes with an USB interface, I am wondering if it is possible to use C3000 as an USB host? I mean if C3000 can be used as a computer with USB port to which other USB devices, such as USB pen drive, portable USB harddrive etc., can be connected? I checked out local electronic stores which only carry the same type of USB convert cable as the one coming with C3000. So I am think if a type of USB cable, which can convert the USB port on C3000 to a standard USB port on regular computer, really exit? If so, where is it? Thanks a lot!

Software / System Font Configuration

« on: February 09, 2005, 11:00:38 pm »

I am using C3000, but I think it is similar to other models. I know various font files are installed in /home/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts/. Then I copied some Asian fonts to that directory. Now I need to change the default font that the system is using to the fonts I installed. But I don't know where the system configuration file which specifies which font to use. Anyone know where it is? I appreciate any inputs! Thanks a lot!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Where Is The Microphone On C3000?

« on: February 01, 2005, 11:27:54 pm »

C3000 includes a voice recorder software, but I couldn't find the microphone. I also bought a earphone with remote control, someone said that the left earphone is also a microphone. I tried it with the voice recorder, but my voice still could not enter the machine! Where is the microphone or C3000 does NOT have one?

Software / Globally Set Path Variable

« on: January 31, 2005, 10:43:21 pm »

Anyone know how to add new directory path to the environment variable PATH? I couldn't find something like /etc/profile to do this, as I usually do on Redhat/Fedora Core. Even after I created a .bash_profile in /home/zaurus directory and reboot my SL-C3000, the .bash_profile does not take any effect at all. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Software / The Default Text Editor On Sl-c3000

« on: January 27, 2005, 11:15:34 am »

I found on my SL-C3000, the default text editor cannot display any double-byte-encoded characters in UTF-8 encoding text file after I set all options in "Code Preferences" to UTF-8: all asian characters, including chinese, korean and japanese, are displayed as empty squares. The change of font size doesn't help. However most of these asian characters can be properly displayed by the "cat" command in the default Terminal. Anyone knows where the problem is? Thanks a lot!

Software / Looking For Vorbis Ogg Plugins For Music Player

« on: January 25, 2005, 10:36:50 pm »

The default music player of SL-C3000 cannot play Vorbis OGG. Are there any plugins available there to enable the music player to be able to play OGG music file? The reason why I prefer the default music player coming with Zaurus is that I can use the accompanied earphone to control the player very conveniently and the music player can still be running even when the lid is closed! But the tkcPlayer from TheKompany will be suspended if the lid is closed and cannot be controlled the earphone.

I tried http://moria.ionkov.net/zaurus/vorbis-plug...1.0.1-6_arm.ipk but it doesn't work for the default music player.

Anyone has any clues? Thanks a lot!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / How To Mount C3000 As An Usb Storage In Fc3

« on: January 24, 2005, 10:17:14 pm »

First I set the PC Link option to USB Storage in my new Zaurus SL-C3000, and then use the USB cable coming with the original package to connect C3000 to my laptop running Fedora Core 3. Then I checked the output of dmeg:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: 05-wait_for_sys timed out on ep0in
SCSI subsystem initialized
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Then I found there is a new SCSI device /dev/sda was created, but when I tried to mount it by:

mount /dev/sda /media/usbstorage

An error message was issued:

mount: No medium found

What is the problem then? Anyone has a clue to mount C3000 in FC3? Thanks a lot!
