User Request for Applications / Update Zbedic In The Opie Feeds

« on: December 02, 2005, 12:25:13 pm »

I use zbedic a lot on my zaurus. But the latest package in the feeds is zbedic_20041227-r1. Since then, there have been a few updates. The latest release is version 0.9.6 from 2005-06-23 which has quite a few enhancements.
I hope someone with acces to the feeds reads this post and will update the package.

Regards,
Folkert.

For Sale / Wanted / Does Piel Frama's Leather Case Fit The 5600?

« on: October 20, 2005, 04:20:31 pm »

For about a year I own a zaurus sl-5600. Until now, I have been carrying around my zaurus without a case in my pocket. Only the screen is protected with a plastic cover. The buttons stay uncovered, so the device is switched on and off and starting applications by accident all day, draining the battery. I recently found that Piel Frama made a leather case for the 5500. That case would prove very useful for my zaurus sl-5600. But I wonder if the case fits the 5600, despite the bigger battery.

Someone tried it yet?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Visited Links Get Striked Through In Opie-reader

« on: June 29, 2005, 03:50:48 pm »

I use opie-reader a lot with pages I retrieve from the internet using Plucker for linux from www.plkr.org. This all works fine, and I'm very content with it. The only thing is that all links get striked through after clicking on them in opie-reader (or maybe they get underlined, but seem strikedthrough). These links aren't dead ones, btw. The links continue to work, so it's annoying at worst. Does anyone else experience the same odd behavior and, better, does anyone know how to prevent it?

Linux Issues / Usbnet Fixed In Kernel 2.6.12-rc5

« on: June 05, 2005, 05:31:59 am »

As many already noticed, usbnet for zaurus was broken since kernel 2.6.11.
Good news: it now works again in 2.6.12-rc5.
I also applied the usbnet_zaurus.patch from David Brownell he submitted 3 june in the fa.linux.kernel newsgroup, which I don't know was necessary since I own the zaurus sl-5600, not sl-6000.
Here's the patch:

Code: [Select]

This "obvious" one-liner is needed to recognize Zaurus SL 6000;
it just checks two GUIDs not just one.

Software / Hancom Word Starts Incredibly Slow

« on: April 30, 2005, 12:10:35 pm »

I managed to get both hancom sheet and word working on my zaurus SL-5600 with OpenZaurus 3.5.2. Problem is that both programs search the entire filesystem before starting, including the sf-card, for documents to be opened. But because my cf-card contains hundreds of files the result is that starting hancom word is incredibly slow.

Unmounting the cf-card before starting hancom word solves it, but is a rather inconvenient work-around. Mounting the card on another mountpoint than the default /mnt/cf doesn't help, as doesn't renaming the Documents directory.

Does anone experience the same problem, and more important, knows how to prevent hancom word from searching the entire filesystem, or perhaps has another solution better than mine?
