Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Wrong Kernel Error
« on: May 19, 2006, 12:27:51 pm »
In this post, lardman reports that a fix for the 'wrong kernel' message was put in the upgrades. Unfortunately, I didn't get the error until after I just upgraded my newly flashed boxer. My sysinit was upgraded from 2.86-r19 to 2.86-r20. There was a message stating that it was not installing sysinit-inittab 2.86-r19 on root' cause it was already installed, but shouldn't that be upgraded too (to r20)?

Any ideas how to fix? thks

NB: server timeouts caused me to post this multiple times. Could the moderator please delete all but this one? thks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Howto Load Usb Driver(s) To Get Usbd0?
« on: May 18, 2006, 03:58:49 pm »
Hi all. I just loaded OZ/GPE 3.5.4 on my boxer (C860) & I can't seem to get my windows 2000 box to recognize that a usb device is attached.

This was formerly working just fine when the Z was running pdaxrom, so I know the windows side should still be ok. I don't see any usb modules when I run lsmod, so I think this might be the problem, but then again, this is with a 2.6 kernel so it might be different than what I'm used to on my old 5600 with the 2.4 kernel.

I _have_ gone into the network settings app & check the usbd0 settings & saved; they look ok to me.

thks in advance.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rom's & Feeds For C860 (boxer/corgi)
« on: May 10, 2006, 07:34:13 pm »
Hey all. I managed to find what I think are copies of beta 1, 2 & 3 for my boxer, but it seems I can install packages from the beta1 feed on the other two (I get zcat errors - not a valid gzip file -  when trying to install). The packages from the contrib feeds seem to work ok (at least the ones I've tried so far, anyway).

The beta1 rom & the feeds I've gotten all from the pdaxrom hompage: http://www.pdaxrom.org/index.php?showid=8&menuid=11.

beta2 rom: http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/1.1.0/beta2/c760/

beta3 rom: http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/1.1.0beta3/Zaurus-7x0-860/

Are these right? What feeds can I use with what beta? Could someone please set me on the straight & narrow (& latest! ). thks

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Stopping Z From Suspending / Sleeping
« on: May 04, 2006, 10:33:12 pm »
Hey all. New boxer owner here, trying out this slick looking rom. I like what i see so far.

One (hopefully simple) question. When I'm playing tunes with xmms (or doing anything else on battery that doesn't require user input), is there an easy way I can prevent the unit from suspending?

Windows Issues / Setting Up Windows Usb Driver For C860
« on: May 04, 2006, 01:30:37 pm »
ok, so the install cd is all in Japanese, which doesn't help a Scottish/Ukranian Canadian like me, eh! I've found & followed serveral links & online help that are  closely but not exactly related (Trisoft's help page is for windows xp, not 2000).

So no matter what I do I can't get the usb drivers installed. Now when I plug the Z in it shows up as a 'C860' in the driver list, but there's no connected usb device on the task bar. I've even tried to uninstall the drivers, but the device files must stll be there because it won't even look at the disk anymore.

Help me from the never ending reboot cycle! I want to be able to 'talk' to my Z!!! HELP!!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe Book Reader
« on: April 10, 2006, 03:53:50 pm »
I've gone down several different avenues trying to get a book reader, ANY book reader working under GPE. I've tried using java apps and looking outside the feeds. Nothing I've tried has worked. This is the one application that I really miss from using OPIE (opie-reader is GREAT). I don't want to go back (and yes, I've thought of dual booting between the two, I'll play with that one day, but just for one app!?). I've also tried just using a browser or gpe-plucker, but neither allow for easy, if any, bookmarking, changing text size, mapping the wheel buttons for page up/down, etc.

If there's anything else out there that I can try, please make the suggestion. thks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Adding A New Desktop Folder In Gpe/matchbox
« on: March 28, 2006, 01:15:56 pm »
Is it true that the only way to create a new desktop folder is to follow the instructions at the matchbox homepage? Since according to those instructions, ~/.matchbox/vfolders overrides (not appends) the /usr/share/matchbox/vfolders directory, I had to copy all of the files from /usr/share/matchbox/vfolders/ to ~/.matchbox/vfolders, add my new folder to the Root.order file & then create the new .directory file to have the new folder appear. Seems kind of a round about way, considering that to add a new desktop icon all one has to do is to create the .deskop file under ~/.applications/.

Now I suppose I could have just altered the files under /usr/share/matchbox/vfolders, but I'm a purist that wants all of my settings kept under my user's home directory .

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Java In Oz/gpe 3.5.4
« on: March 27, 2006, 03:59:24 pm »
Here I am trying to get java apps running in OZ/GPE 3.5.4. I installed the kaffe-gtk & kaffe-gtk-common packages from the x11 & base feeds respectively. I had to correct a symlink under /usr/lib/kaffe-gtk:

Code: [Select]
grog@grond[pts/2][/usr/lib/kaffe-gtk]$ ll
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root            0 Mar 27 14:02 bin
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root            0 Mar 27 14:02 jre
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Mar 27 14:02 lib
ipkg created the bin directory where it should have been a symlink, thusly:

Code: [Select]
grog@grond[pts/2][/usr/lib/kaffe-gtk]$ ll
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Mar 27 14:25 bin -> jre/bin/
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root            0 Mar 27 14:02 jre
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Mar 27 14:02 lib
And now my java command runs without errors (should I post a bug report about this?), but produces nothing. I'm attempting to run a book reader called JBook:

Code: [Select]
grog@grond[pts/1][/media/card1/tmp/jbook-1.2]$ cat jbook.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Starts JBook

echo "Starting JBook..."
java -jar jbook.jar

grog@grond[pts/1][/media/card1/tmp/jbook-1.2]$ ./jbook.sh
Starting JBook...
And that's all I get. No errors, no window, no nuttin'. Is this kaffe's or jbook's problem? Any ideas? thks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Mounting Cf Owned By Local User
« on: March 03, 2006, 01:26:23 pm »
Currently using GPE 3.5.4-test5 on my poodle.

Is there any way to specify the owner of the cf card when it's
mounted?  It's currently owned by root, making it inconvenient to
write or change files on it. /etc/fstab settings don't seem to be
followed & I've poked around /etc/pcmcia with no results.

thks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Mplayer Not Playing Audio (& Other Stuff)
« on: January 29, 2006, 01:11:32 pm »
Hi all. I'm having trouble getting mplayer 1.0pre6-3.4.3 from playing producing any audio output. The mp3's I have play fine with opie-mediaplaye2 & xmms, and mplayer plays the video portions of the files I've converted using PocketDivXEncoder (I tried the instructions for using mencoder from here, but mplayer couldn't find the codec used, even when I specified mpeg. I'd much prefer to use mencoder if I could, though. Much more flexible). Mplayer says it finds the mp3 decoder:

Code: [Select]
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
AUDIO: 22050 Hz, 2 ch, 16 bit (0x10), ratio: 3000->88200 (24.0 kbit)
Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm:mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
Any ideas I could try? thks

General Discussion / Any Limit On Compact Flash (cf) Card Size?
« on: December 20, 2005, 10:35:24 am »
Howdy all. It's been discussed & determined in other threads that the Z's can't handle more than a 1gb sd card, but what about cf? Can we use 2gb? 4gb? Is there any limit?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How Can I Use The 'at' (atd) Package Under Oz?
« on: October 18, 2005, 01:36:38 pm »
Hi all. I have need to get atd working on my poodle, but haven't had any luck. I've tried installing both the at & the atd packages without luck. While the 'at' package seems to have everything it needs (except the init.d script) & atd seems to run ok, it dies as soon as I try to submit a job. The 'atd' package only has the atd binary & the init.d script, but has no 'at' command. Trying to combine the two doesn't help; when the at command is issued it complains the atd daemon isn't running (when it is).

I tried replacing the call to the atd binary in the init.d script with a script to redirect it's output to a log:

Code: [Select]
$ cat /usr/sbin/atd-log
#!/bin/sh
exec 1>>/var/tmp/atlog 2>&1
exec /usr/sbin/atd

But that just produces an empty file, regardless of which atd binary I use.

After some searching (NB: don't try searching for 'at'. Doesn't get you very much usefull info ), I found this post, which seems to indicate that there's some problem with using atd in OZ in the first place. So has my quest been in vain?

thanks in advance

Hey all. I've searched high & low, in the forums, on  pi-sync's site, on google, etc & I can't find it. Where can I download an ipk for OM/PI (pi-sync's mail app)?
