Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xml / Xslt /xsl-fo Etc On Pdaxrom
« on: August 17, 2005, 05:21:02 am »
Hello all,

Does anyone know of any programs for pdaxrom that will let me perform xsl-fo etc transforms? The editor part is obviously just a text editor, although a specialist application would be nice as well. I couldn't see any, but there might be something I missed...

Thanks
Allan

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems Downloading Oz
« on: June 18, 2005, 11:29:34 am »
Hello all,

I'm having problems downloading OZ 3.5.3 (or any other version for that matter) for my c1000 (or any other model...) from the OZ web-site. The download simply cuts off a random points. I'll get 3.3Mb or 9.1Mb, 100Kb or 1.5Mb of the file before the download cuts out. I've tried using Safari, Firefox Mac, Cameo and IE5 Mac but none of them will download the files.

Has anyone else noticed this kind of thing? Does anyone know of a mirror where I can download the c1000 files? (the mirrors I found don't have it).

Thanks
Allan

General Discussion / Software Archive For The Zaurus
« on: June 09, 2005, 09:59:51 am »
Hello all,

For a number of years now I've been using the Zaurus software index (www.killefiz.de/zaurus) for applications for my sl-5500. Now I've upgraded to a c1000, and I'm using the pdaxrom feeds for the software - I didn't realise until today that ZSI had been replaced by the Embedded Linux Software Index (www.elsix.org) - and it would appear that many are the same. I understand Roy who has been developing elsix.org doesn't have time to work on it any more and I was wondering if there was interest from others who would like to see a new central web-site for Zaurus software.

Key requirements:
    - Search - the index should be easily and fully searchable - almost google like in its simplicity
    - Platforms - the Zaurus community used to be rather compact, but its incredibly diverse now, and I would like to include a feature which will indicate which platform software has been created for, fully tested on and works on.
    - Easy interface - so we can use it from our Z's :-)
    - Feedback - (possibly using moderators) do dead links etc are removed
    - Version tracking for software - so each package is only mentioned once
    - Capture remote data from feeds - Feeds are used a lot now, but aren't all that helpful if you don't have access to the net from your Z. Collecting data from the feeds would save a lot of effort on the part of developers. And they could then go to the site and add information about the package (or use information from another package if its the same for a different rom etc).

Ideas taken from:
    - www.killefiz.de/zaurus - wonderful site, but a little lacking in some areas and not updated much
   - www.elsix.org - not updated much, a bit lack-luster.
   - www.versiontracker.com - wonderul site for macintosh software
   - www.rpmfind.net - very useful site for finding packages for a particular linux distro.

What do you all think?

- I'm not much of a software for an OS developer, I'm a web-developer, so this is a little way of giving something back to a very cool community...

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ko/pi Crashing
« on: June 06, 2005, 08:56:36 pm »
Hello all,

I've been playing with KO/PI on my c1000 with rc10. I was trying to set up a sync with a local file however KO/PI crashes as soon as I okay the sync. Have anyone else noticed this?

I also tried syncing with a remote file - I got the config slightly wrong and KO/PI crashed taking everything with it - the only way to recover was battery remove... Anyone noticed this?

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks
Allan

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Vnc / Mysql
« on: May 24, 2005, 01:26:33 pm »
Hello all,

New c1000 has arrived :-D I'm setting it up just now, but could anyone tell me where I can find a MySQL 4 package for it (does one even exist?) and a VNC viewer?

Is there a centralised place to find packages for the c1000?

Thanks :-)

Mac Issues / Osx And C1000
« on: May 23, 2005, 07:09:35 pm »
Hello all,

I'm about to get my hands on a c1000, and I was wondering if anyone can suggest the best option for syncing my iCal (OSX.4) with several calendars, to the c1000, running whatever ROM (don't really mind as long as it syncs has have half decent PIMs).

Thanks

Mac Issues / Open Zaurus And Mac Os X Sync
« on: April 11, 2005, 10:22:27 am »
Hello all,

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find a definite answer - is it possible to sync iCal etc on my Mac with my OpenZaurus Opie calendar? Its Opie v1.2 (OZ 3.5.6).

Thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Makecompat
« on: March 29, 2005, 11:16:07 am »
Hello all,

I (like many others apparently) am trying to get Opera to run on my sl5500 with OZ - and its not going well... I've followed most of the threads I can find and still got no where. I'm currently messing around with the OZ compact libs and I run make-compat against opera - however the root runs out of disk space before it can complete.

How can I make make-compat place the new opera on the sd card?

Thanks

Sharp ROMs / Keypebble Vnc
« on: March 17, 2005, 08:25:30 pm »
Hello all,

I'm trying to connect to my laptop from my Z using VNC. I'm using a Mac OSX VNC server, which appears to be running just fine (because other computers can connect to it) - but Keypebble on my Z apparently connects ok - but just displays a great big white screen. Nothing else...

Using an SL5500 with the Hybrid rom and Keypebble 1.5.

I saw somewhere that there was a version 1.0.0 of Keypebble for Sharp roms, but I can't find it any where. I don't know if that would help.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Web-browser
« on: March 16, 2005, 05:45:52 pm »
Hello all,

Wondering if someone can help me - I'm tearing my hair out... I'm trying to install a _working_ web browser on OZ 3.5.2. I can't install Konquerer because it complains about not having libstdc++ and pcre. And Opera won't run with the error 'undefined symbol: _7QString.shared_null'.

Is there any easy way of getting a web-browser to work?

Thanks
Allan

General Discussion / Gui-less Rom?
« on: March 13, 2005, 01:31:45 pm »
Hello all,

I couldn't find this information out, so I guess there is quite a good chance it doesn't exist, but is there a rom out there for the 5500 which doesn't have a gui? Just a basic good ole plain terminal?

Thanks
Allan
