Accessories / Usb To Eide & Sata Cable + Power Supply

Suggest that you keep a word document with the various mount & umount comands in it so that you can copy & paste into Qkonsole, saves a lot of typing as well as not having to remember the syntax.

You can also copy commands from Qkonsole into a document once you have perfected the syntax.

I keep mine in StageOne outliner along with all the other bits I need to remember.

Don't forget the NTFS drivers mount the drive as read only, so you can't write.

You may also experience problems writing to some disks using the built in file explorer, alternative file explorers such as TKCexplorer work.

Software / Open Pdf Documents

« on: June 01, 2006, 06:26:02 am »

Does anyone know how to get file explorer to open PDF documents in qpdf, as it tries to open them into Opera but this fails.

I assume it has something to do with mime types or the desktop files.

I am using Cacko ROM.

Managed to get it to work, but had to manually mount it as it appears as /dev/sdb device, see attached.

As you can see it is an NTFS disk I borrowed from my Dell GX240 PC.

Not tried, been rather busy trying to get other things working on my C3200 before I go on holiday.

Hope to give it a go this week, assuming I can find a spare disk drive from an old PC.

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Rom 1.23 For Sl-c3200

« on: May 24, 2006, 04:24:16 am »

Thanks seiichiro0185, don't have this problem with my other USB sticks so I will try reformatting.

Did some more checking to find out why I can't write to USB sticks when the System Information facility shows it as mounted as RW. Found out that this is only a problem with the built in file manager as TKCexplorer allows me to write to my USB sticks.

Anyone any idea why the built in file manager won't let me write to USB memory sticks???

Did not get any response to my previous post so I pocked around a bit more, it would appear that the Zaurus thinks there is an issue with physical & logical endings, what ever that means:-

Physical/Logical Endings

Phys=(253, 254, 63)
Logical=(254,245,55)

See attached screen dump.

Any idea what is wrong, if so how I resolve?

Software / Tuxpaint

« on: May 19, 2006, 08:42:28 am »

Has anyone got TuxPaint working on the C1000/3000/3100/3200 works on my C760 but not on my C3200, fails at the point it displays the startup screen on my C760.

Perhaps more importantly how do I get it working just in case I let any of my grandchildren near my C3200.

Plugged all 3 USB sticks into Windows PC & run the disk checker with the option to fix any problems ticked. They also all reported as FAT rather than FAT 32.

Just tried to copy a file to one of then & got the following error 'Can't copy 0601_1902.png'

Tried a different file to copy & another USB stick & the same problem.

fdisk reports stick as W95 FAT16, can't see anything which says if it is mounted as RO.

Thanks Anton & Meanie for your response.

Windows reports that they are FAT formated, probably have pulled them out at some time without stopping them in Windows, can't remember every time.

Running Windows error checker now but very slow.

Hope to get this all sorted before I go on holiday, so I can transfer pictures from camera SD/CF cards to my Zaurus, then backing them up onto the USB sticks.

Thanks Anton

The automount only mounts devices as read only, any way to automatically mount them as read/write?

Found a very compact optical mouse with 2 USB ports along the cable, mouse & USB ports work well with the Cacko ROM.

Loaded Cacko 1.23 for C3200 & managed to get it to work with my 3 USB memory sticks, after I realised that I needed to suspend when changing stick.

I have to use Konsole to mount any SD or CF cards in my card reader which is a pain, can I use Meanie's C3000 automounter to automate this?

Meanie's scripts are already included. What partisions do you have on your sticks? /dev/sha1 should mount automatically.

They are standard FAT partitions on the SD & CF cards, straight out of my 2 x Canon IXUS cameras, as I gave up trying to mount the cameras.

I have to manually mount using:-

mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbstorage -o umask=000

Groped around for a couple of hours before I got it to work, used fdisk to identify sdc1.

This is now new problem, it exists in Cacko 1.23 sysinfo program (see one of my 1st posts in this topic)

Apologies Anton, worked correctly on my C760 with version 1.23.
