Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Where is the best place to report bugs?

« on: September 28, 2004, 03:17:48 pm »

I already found some bugs with I reported on http://bugs.openembedded.org
I installed / so much times on my SD card that it's now dead!  I reported each bug I found.

I find disappointing tickets aren't taken on bugs.openembedded.org. I don't understand this, since you guys (Hrw & Mickeyl: thank you for the good job!) solve some of those bugs.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Tons of errors while installing stuff on OZ 3.5.1

« on: September 23, 2004, 04:13:59 pm »

Hi,
I'm installing some packages on my Zaurus SL5500 with OpenZaurus 3.5.1 (opie image).
I get tons of error messages:
- packages missing (shfs-modules needed by shfs)
- functions already provided by busybox (when installing unzip)
- zaurus hangs, I have to reboot (when installing firefox)
Is that normal?

Another bug: /etc/resolv.conf contents is quite strange! It indicates a file as a nameserver address.

I'd have liked to get a feed URL in /etc/ipkg.conf instead of having to write it by myself (I'm a bit lazy!   )

I found 2 other bugs:
- console (rxvt) closes when executing a simple ls. It does not happens each time. I'd say it depends of the contents of the directory one tries to display.
- the zaurus isn't recognized by my desktop. I don't manage to establish a connection between my zaurus and my desktop each time I try.

That's probably a bug: I logged out. Then, there's only the keyboard layout displayed. I can't login anymore, I have to reboot.

Ouch!!! The same happened after a reboot! I'll have to reflash!  
That problem happened after I changed the owner information.

Install it from one of the OZ 3.3.6pre1 feeds - fdisk is command line, so it doesn't matter whether you're running Opie or GPE on top.


Si

I'll do that. Thanks for the info.

I'm having a really annoying problem: the keyboard window does not open. Therefore, I can't input anything while my zaurus is connected to the cradle. I can't upgrade the packages and so on...
I'd like to reboot my zaurus, but there's no reboo, halt nor shutdpwn command!!!

I installed it. It's very nice. However, there's no fdisk, and I need to re-partition my CF card to install more programs... How can I do that?

OK. I'll reflash and follow the instructions given in the pages you indicate. I'll come back here later to tell what the result is.
Thanks.

I remember I checked md5 before flashing... I've read somewhere that flashing with the "latest" sharp rom and then reflashing with the oz rom could solve some problems. Even if I think that'd be very strange if it solves the problem, I'll give it a try.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems with 3.3.6-pre1. Can't resume my Zaurus!!

« on: September 17, 2004, 04:20:27 pm »

Hello! I use:
- Sharp Zaurus SL5500
- Opie 1.1.4
- kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-021129
- OpenZaurus 3.3.6-pre1
I downloaded the ROM from http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3...opie1.1.4.shtml

I have the following problems:
- the backlight button does not work. I can turn backlight off, but I can't put it on.
- the keyboard is a qwertz layout
- WORST of all: I can't resume my Zaurus after a suspend! I have to push the "replace button" at the back of the PDA and restart it! That's really annoying!

Are those problems already known? I really would like to be able to resume my Zaurus! Could I solve some of those problems?
The / partition is installed on my 256Mb SD card (Kingston brand, made in Taiwan). I followed the instructions given there:
http://openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/...ot%20filesystem

I'm however quite happy with this ROM!

Thanks for the help...
Nicolas.
