Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Browser Installation

« on: June 25, 2008, 01:18:33 pm »

I've got an SL-6000 (Tosa) with r8 and I am trying to install a web browser. gpe-mini-browser installs but when I tell it to go to a page, it just disaplays "loading" forever, so I thought I'd try a different browser. However, whenever I try to install minimo or openmoko-browser2 ipkg fails with a "no space left on drive" error. Is anyone else experiencing this? Do I have my ROM partitioned incorrectly? I wouldn't expect it to fail when just installing one program and it's dependancies.

EDIT: I think this is happeneing because It's trying to install to the / partition, which is 28.0M large, with 19.6M used, as opposed to the /home partition, which is 29.0M and 2.1M respectivly after a fresh NAND restore then update. Shouldn't ipkg be installing packages to /home? Or perhaps Angstrom should be using a standard linux filesystem with / and /home on the same partition of all 64M ROM?

6000 - Tosa / Angstrom Status On Tosa

xjgian mentioned that he got the current release (17?) booting on the Tosa when he self-complied from the dev build, so I'm trying that out. I'll let you know how it goes.

SO how does it go you ask?  Not well.  I compiled r18 from the Dev build (took an entire day running on Ubuntu through VMWare) but when I flashed my Tosa, I still get the "tmio-fb: null info->mode" at the top of the screen instead of booting up, which I beileve is the 2.6.24 kernel problem.

xjgian, did you get a bootable build with the 2.6.24 kernel?  Could you send my your local.conf or your x11 image?

I see it.  Although it says "install the relevant packages" in the image section, there's a list of that conversion at the very bottom of the manual.  Thanks.

What hardware do I need to run this?  It's about an 80MB root-fs, so I can't really install it on my SL-6000.  But you've got instructions to alt-boot Android to SD card on a CL-1000, and the Zubuntu uses the same install procedures as your Android.  Is it possible to adapt this process for the 6000?

For Sale / Wanted / Fs: 2 Zaurus Sl-5500

« on: June 24, 2008, 01:53:43 pm »

I would like to buy one of these.  I've got a 6000, and my Dad already has a 5500, but he'd like a spare.  I'd pay the full $50, but I would like some pics first.  Also, what ROM is it running?  He uses the Sharp Rom, and I have no problem flashing (God knows I've done it enough to my 6000) but I wanted to make sure that the v3 ROM for the 5500 from myzaurus.com is the correct Sharp rom.  (if it is, I'm going to be very frustrated about how easy that was to find, compared to the original Sharp ROM for the 6000)

I'll PM you my e-mail address

Use r8 (release to get by the blank screen problem.  All of the newer releases have the 2.6.24 kernel, which won't boot on the tosa yet.  You can find r8 here.  You can find the rest of the Tosa imagese here.

I've searched around for a way to sync my Angstrom w/GPE (installed gpe-todo, gpe-calendar etc. as well) with Outlook in windows(no choice, it's used at my company) and I can't seem to be able to get it to work.  This is really the only holding point for me to switch to Angstrom.  Am I overlooking something?  Is there a way to sync my Tosa loaded with Angstrom w/GPE to Outlook in Windows?

PS-it dosen't have to be easy to set up, I can handle the terminal and vi etc.  It just has to work once it's been set up.

Thanks, it is very helpful.  (I happen to have a SL-6000, BTW)  I appreciate how easy it's been to get usb0 running from the guide (and I needed the RNDIS driver.)

One thing that I would like to see (and I'd add it myself, but I don't yet know) is what the "relevant packages" to install GPE from a console image are.

I can't seem to get insternal WiFi to work (out of the box,) I select the "Wifi device" in the wlan0 tab under network settings, but next time I open network settings, it has unchecked itself.  I also don't seem to have the tools like ifconfig ifup etc. to work with.  What image are you using?  I'm using the x11-image which gives me GPE.

Edit: Well I've installed the console edition and I have the networking tools.  Could they have gotten overlooked in the x11-istall package?  Also, do you know what are the "relevant packages" to install GPE and x11 from the base console flash?

I tried the r17, and got an error right at start-up.  The backlight went off, and I got a line of text <something I can't remember> then ->no info.

have any info?  Is this the same problem that r9 had with the 2.6.24 kernel?
