Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Bug List

Thanks. That works, until I restart Opie via the gui.  I agree this a corner case, but
I seem to do it pretty often. So I guess I will stick with the previous version, modified
to only do the eval when ssh-agent exists.

Code: [Select]

     $OPIEDIR/bin/opie-reorgfiles
        if [ -x /usr/bin/ssh-agent ]; then
             SSHAGENT=/usr/bin/ssh-agent
      eval `$SSHAGENT -s`
        fi
        
        if [ -x "$OPIEDIR/bin/opie-sh-ssh-askpass.sh" ]; then
            export SSH_ASKPASS=$OPIEDIR/bin/opie-sh-ssh-askpass.sh
     export DISPLAY=dummy
        fi          
        echo Starting Opie....
        $OPIEDIR/bin/qpe  -terminal 2

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Bug List

« on: June 24, 2005, 08:46:29 pm »

Here is a rerun of a message to oe@ about 3.5.2; the same issue seems to exist in 3.5.3
The solution here was tested under 3.5.2.

the hooks for ssh-agent in /etc/init.d/opie do not seem to work.
I am using openssh

The first problem seems to be that gpe forks and exits so the call
ssh-agent does not really do anything. The second is that openssh
needs DISPLAY set, before it looks at SSH_ASKPASS.

I modified the relevant lines of /etc/init.d/opie as follows

Code: [Select]

 if [ -x "$OPIEDIR/bin/opie-sh-ssh-askpass.sh" ]; then
            export SSH_ASKPASS=$OPIEDIR/bin/opie-sh-ssh-askpass.sh
            export DISPLAY=dummy
        fi          
        echo Starting Opie....
        eval `$SSHAGENT`
        $OPIEDIR/bin/qpe -terminal 2This is not really correct of course, since it will leave extra
ssh-agent process running if opie is restarted. On the other hand,
with this modification, opie-sshkeys actually works

Can someone suggest a better fix for starting ssh-agent?  Is there a
way of having qpe not daemonize itself?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.3 Upgrades

It's not urgent for me, because I just went back to Opie again, but the revision of sylpheed (r2)
shipped with 3.5.3 seems not to support SSL. 1.0.0 r4 is in openembedded.

So if you run out of things to do :-)

PS thanks for your efforts OZ team

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Pwm/pi In Openzaurus

« on: February 21, 2005, 08:05:15 am »

I have zsafe on Linux desktop too
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=68048\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It looks like either portabase or zsafe would work
for me in a pinch (both are packaged for debian, so that is easy).  The thing I like about pwm/pi is synching. It looks like something can be faked using text import/export.

Is it just me or is the zsafe interface on the desktop a bit bizarre?  There is e.g. no
cancel/ok buttons when adding an entry. Maybe this works better on kde or something.  I am using xfce4

Has anyone thought about/tried packaging pwm/pi (the password manager from kdepim/pi) for openzaurus?  I might eventually get motivated to do so (I have not got an OZ cross compilation environment going yet), but not if there insoluable confilicts etc...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Upgrades

« on: February 06, 2005, 12:51:15 pm »

For neither opiemail nor konqueror are updates available. Opiemail is a bit stalling at the moment and the konqueror team abandonded Qt 2.x long ago.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65685\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Pity,  Is there any reason to think about open embedded packages for om/pi, or is it likely  to suffer the same lack of activity?

On a slightly related topic, any chance of an update for kphone/pi?  Apparently  0.9.9
is available.  Currently we have 0.9.7

I couldn't figure out if new versions were available, but other than kdepim/pi
(Am I correct in assuming this includes kapi, kopi and kphone/pi?)
the two applications that I would like updated are opiemail and konqueror.
Both of these seem a bit unstable in the current (3.5.2) versions.

I have attached my (as far as I know stock) interfaces file.

The output of iwconfig does seem goofy.

root@tosa:~# ifup wlan0

That's my neighbour's AP,  with no WEP.

I think the issue that the wlan-ng drivers do not support wireless extensions very well.
there is something called
 wlanctl-ng
but it makes iwconfig look user-friendly :-)

I am currently trying to figure out how to get WEP working.  Without wep
"ifup wlan0" does the trick for me.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Sl-6000l And Openzaurus

You need to follow the SL6000 specific instructions (and use the SL6000 specific images!)
In particular,  from memory:

put updater.sh and updater.data on your cf card, put in zaurus (if not already there).  Press reset, now turn on while holding the OK key.  You will get a menu,
pick item 4, (update?).  in the next menu choose CF. After a bit, the openzaurus install menu should appear.

For fn on opie, I thought it was broken as well, but if you press and release fn, then hit the second key,
it works for me on my SL6000.

Accessories / Which Cf Wifi Should I Buy?

Canadian mail order opinions:

I am waiting for some Z bits from tigerdirect, my first dealing with them. I'm slightly peeved because it took 4 days from claiming to ship to showing a  departure scan at UPS.

www.ncix.com is decent to deal with, and sometimes better prices than tigerdirect

www.fronet.com is also decent (in the sense that they seem to be honest) prices a little worse than ncix,com.  Their online inventory managment is not perfect: consider talking to
a person if the piece is not listed as shipping immediatly.

People also tell me good things about Vibe computers.

www.canadacomputers.com has good prices, but no electronic ordering.  They are decent to deal with by phone/fax/email

You need to install the openssl libraries.  See the discussion

Look for www.pi-sync.net or KDE-Pim/PI on sourceforge
