Ubuntu / Zubuntu Help

« on: March 20, 2009, 03:47:49 am »

tar -xvzf /path/to/filename.tar.gz .

There is a space and a "dot" at the end and they are part of the command. The dot means here and will untar the file in the current directory, so make sure you are on the root directory of the card. /path/to/ is the full path to the directory where you saved the file. It's probably going to be something like /home/whykick/Desktop/ for example.

Post the error message you are getting, if any. Make sure the card is mounted also.

Make sure you are untarring as "root" or use "sudo tar -xvzf /path/to/filename.tar.gz ."

Just been reading the full thread.

Should have done that before asking stupid questions in other threads ...

Sorry,
Having fun with Zubuntu,

Ubuntu / Howto: Zubuntu Installation On Sl-c760

« on: March 16, 2009, 04:33:24 pm »

Thanks for the great manual.
All up and running (Jaunty 9.04) on a C860.

Gnumeric, Galculator, Sylpheed, pidgin, even gnome-games (I love tetravex), ... everything seems to work !

Having fun,
Chero.

Ubuntu / Zubuntu 1.0 Rc1 Upgraded To Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Armel

« on: March 15, 2009, 04:05:32 am »

Add pxa2xx_cs to /etc/modules.
After this either reboot or;

Code: [Select]

modprobe pxa2xx_cs
Canguy

Thanks, that makes the cf-slot alive.
Now figure out the rest.

Edit : that was easy, copy the interfaces file over from Angstrom, plug in the card and all is up and running.

Have fun,
Chero.

Ubuntu / Zubuntu 1.0 Rc1 Upgraded To Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Armel

« on: March 14, 2009, 12:36:09 pm »

Hi! First of all big thanks!

Call me impressed for the fast start-up time alone!

Just for the record and the next one trying to get his or her keyboard to work under X:

I had to hardcode Akita as xmodmap to get keypresses in my 860 in .xinitrc.
/proc/cpuinfo returns Husky,

detlef

found out that the hard way as well.  

Now get wifi going (which doesn't seem to be that "basic ubuntu"). When inserting my cards, dmesg reports nothing.
What am I missing here ?
Already tried the interfaces file from Angstrom and the Angstrom kernel.
Also tried manually loading spectrum_cs, but still nothing in dmesg.
pccardctl shows nothing.

Having fun anyway,
Chero.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Beta 1 Installer Broke

« on: March 13, 2009, 09:00:07 am »

Thanks.
Chero.

Edit : nothing wrong with the script (only with me using it). I had changed the root partition to 121Mb without fixing the max. size first ... .

New products and alternatives / Pandora Is Starting To Really Interest Me

« on: December 16, 2008, 06:33:07 am »

new blog post on openpandora.org including a nice video of Angstrom running on the pandora.
That beast is gonna be really fast !
Just seeing how long it takes to launch gnumeric (take a look at the video) would convince me to order one immediately ...

But, then again, I already ordered.      

Have fun,
Chero.

Ubuntu's officially supporting the Pandora's architecture (armv7a) from 9.04. Is that enough for you?

Well, that's a pretty good start, Capn.....

Thanks!
 
 

Zaurus RAMx4 , Zaurus NANDx4.
You should take a look at the speed tests they are doing !!!
The pandora is gonna be really really fast !

More delays...

They're hoping to have some out by the end of the year, but projecting it may be Jan 2009 before people get them.

My wife and kids don't mind, I might spend some time with them during the Xmas holidays if I don't have my pandora by that time ...

if only it had a better keyboard, it makes it seem, well, like a toy (which I guess it is).

This toy now will get 256Mb RAM and 512Mb NAND !!!
Default distro is going to be Angstrom, ubuntu-downloadable-SD-Image available.

Sounds great for a toy,
Chero.

Anyway, this lil' thing better be good or Capn_Fish is in big trouble.....
 

It already runs ubuntu and the GP2X can boot and run OZ-OPIE and GPE ...
Debian isn't too far away then ...

Looking at the speed of the ubuntu video, I must say I'm impressed. This really beats the speed of the Z (some will hate me for writing this). Too bad it doesn't have a swivel, but then again, I hardly use a Z in portrait mode...

starting to countdown days before arrival ...
