Software / Updating Qpegps - New Gpsd And More

« on: November 02, 2006, 05:13:38 pm »

Glad to see someone working on this.  I just moved to OZ (Hentges 3.5.4.1) on a 5500, and found that my gps card & qpegps aren't seeing each other anymore with the latest qpegps and gpsd available in the feeds.  (Formerly working on Crow ROM).

I'd be happy to test if needed, too.

Sharp ROMs / GUI ssh scp file transfer software

« on: April 01, 2004, 07:37:07 pm »

I\'ve been looking for something like this too, and no luck yet.  Konq/E doesn\'t seem to support it, and I can\'t find anything that does.  It\'d be great to see OpieFTP support it.

Not to nitpick, but how is Unison a GUI application?   It\'s still command line, even though it apparently pops up progress dialogs.

Software / KOrganizer / KO/Pi (KOrganizer Platform independent)

« on: March 29, 2004, 12:36:56 pm »

Zautrix,
Just put 1.6.7a on and it works great. Thanks for all the great work.  Apparently my former problem was related to an old icon I had that never got refreshed, as the new icon created by 1.6.7a works, and the older one still doesn\'t.  Regarding launching from a terminal, I realized I had been trying to launch with the command \"korganizer\", which still gives me the same message, rather than \"kopi\", which starts it fine.

Again, thanks for the great work. It\'s a very nice piece of software.

Software / KOrganizer / KO/Pi (KOrganizer Platform independent)

« on: March 22, 2004, 06:49:22 pm »

I\'m having a problem with ko/pi 1.6.5b on zynergy 5600 ROM.  I\'ve used other versions of it successfuly (1.6.3b was the last successful, I think).  With the latest version, it won\'t launch from the icon, and from the terminal, I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: korganizer: undefined symbol : __11KDatePickerP7QWidgetG5QDatePCc

I have alarms 1.6.2b installed, and haven\'t uninstalled it since it came out.

Any idea what could be causing this?
EDIT: As pointed out below, the alarm is 1.6.2a, not b.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / COuld anyone tell how to manually change MAC address?

« on: March 15, 2004, 05:09:07 pm »

There\'s other valid reasons also, such as when MAC addresses conflict, despite the fact that they\'re supposed to be globally unique (yes, I\'ve seen a batch with all the same MAC).  Also, if you\'re on a wifi access point that you have legit access to, but have changed your card, it\'s sometimes easier to change your MAC than jump through the hoops of re-registering.

Anyway, to do it, you can either use the ifconfig command, or macchanger.  Macchanger is available as a Debian ARM package, and does work on the Z. I think I had to manually untar and install it, but I\'m not sure anymore.

Or, even easier, you can use the following.

Code: [Select]

ifconfig eth0 hw ether DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00 substituting for the appropriate interface, and the desired MAC address, in hexadecimal.

Both ways of changing are software-based, and won\'t persist over a reboot or removal/insertion cycle.  In other words, you aren\'t changing the hard-coded MAC, more like \"spoofing\" the MAC.

(For Windows users, there\'s a program called SMAC that will do the same thing.)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / ROM Choices for SL-5600?

« on: March 13, 2004, 10:54:25 pm »

I\'m running Zynergy on a 5600 now, and love it.

Yes, it uses the Sharp PIM apps.  I don\'t think you can replace them without rebuilding the ROM, but you can install somthing else.  I\'ve added KO/PI to mine for a datebook.  It\'s great, and I even have it syncing with my laptop via wireless/SSH.  I\'m using Korganizer on the desktop, but evolution should also work.  I haven\'t tried anything else for the address book; I don\'t need to sync it, just keep a backup every so often.  

I haven\'t run into many apps that won\'t run.  If they don\'t it\'s usually because they depend on some odd or old library, not anything to do with sharp/zynergy incompatibilities.

General Discussion / Recent 5600s have PXA255 processor?

« on: January 29, 2004, 01:01:34 pm »

As another data point or two, my brother-in-law got one from Amazon.com a week ago, don\'t know which warehouse, but it went to Houston, and has a PXA250.

I just received mine from HSN.com (no, they don\'t have any more, sold out 1200 in about 10 minutes), with the camera for the same price as Amazon.  It\'s a PXA255, according to both the box and /proc/cpuinfo

Software / email - IMAP & SSL?

« on: January 28, 2004, 05:09:02 pm »

Found the answer to my own question, posting here in case anyone else wants to try it.   Install stunnel from http://zaurus.logix.cz/tips.xp/stunnel  Then, following the czech instructions on their site , add the two lines listed to /etc/inetd.conf, then restart with killall -HUP inetd.  Finally, in the email client, choose IMAP or POP3, then put localhost as the server.  The port number can remain as the default (143 for IMAP).  

Now that\'s settled, it doesn\'t work nearly as well as I\'d like.  As others have posted, the IMAP client is seriously brain-dead; downloading all your messages from every folder, including trash, into your inbox.  Takes quite a while with a few hundred or few thousand messages.  So your alternatives are to use POP3 and leave messages on server if your server supports both, or deal with the slow/buggy email client.  Personally I\'ll stick with SSH/Pine, or maybe try Pine for the zaurus....

Software / email - IMAP & SSL?

« on: January 16, 2004, 02:51:13 pm »

Running a 5500 with the Sharp 3.1 ROM, Symbol/Socket 802.11b card.  Networking is working great, but checking my email is a hassle, as the university uses secure IMAP.  That\'s great from a security standpoint, but I can\'t find an email client for the Z that can make SSL connections.

I\'ve played with the email client included with the 3.1 ROM, and it works great for sending email (smtp is not encrypted), but can\'t check email.  Is there a app out there that allows IMAP over SSL?  I deal with attachments regularly, and \"funny\" (windows users) filenames for them.  

I do have SSH/SFTP access to the mail server, and can SSH in and use Pine, but attachments have to be saved, then retrieved, complete with the aforementioned filenames that SFTP doesn\'t like, etc.

Also, as a side question, is there a graphical SFTP app for the Z?  I played with KonquerorEmbedded, but it says it doesn\'t support the sftp protocol, unlike \"big\" Konqueror.
