Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom For C3000 (based On Beta1/beta3)

« on: July 06, 2007, 10:18:40 am »

It's absolutely fantastic what level pdaXii13 has reached!

However, I'm left with one little question: How do I get the special characters like German umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) in 'mrxvt'? Whenever I press one of the key combos as explained on Meanie's great page (Section "Keyboard Shortcuts"), I get some strange characters but not the expected umlauts. The key mappings seem to work fine in 'rxvt', though.

Any idea for me?

TIA!

I will have to check my notes, but roughly, take the last 5 items from the 5.2 release notes

Okay fine, I can live with that.

Thanks a lot for all your work!

the version is now build 5.2

no more beta and no more builds [div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151358\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hi Meanie,

Would you know by heart what has changed since build 5.2 alpha? The reason is that I've already started to heavily use and customize 5.2 alpha and I don't want to re-setup everything if 5.2 final only contains small fixes.

TIA!

I cannot download hdimage-full.tgz. I'm always redirected to http://www.tyrannozaurus.com home page. I was able to download all the other files   
Is there any other location where I could get hdimage-full.tgz 5.2 ?

Thanks !

Initially, I had exactly the same problem yesterday. I kept trying every other hour and suddenly it worked (using Firefox on a Gentoo box). I thought it was Meanie not yet ready with the upload.

just look this thread for the resolution of this problem:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22518

mainly you should not set the time on first boot (just hit cancel), stop atd, then set the time and restart atd.

Thanks! I'll have a look there.

@Meanie:

You are doing a great job for all C3000 users, thank you!

I've been successfully using pdaXrom 1.1.0beta1 for quite some time; unfortunately, the filesystem recently got so badly corrupted that I decided to give pdaXii13 a trial. Not bad, it is really a step forward compared to 1.1.0beta1! I've encountered only one problem so far, and that is that keyboard and touch screen sometimes freeze after resuming the Z but it looks like this thread contains some hints how to solve this problem which I will try.

However, I'm not quite sure now about the latest version. You mentioned that Build 5.2 will be the last image-based one before updates are done via the feeds. On the page "http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/files/" I see already distro images labelled 'build5.2'. Does it mean that this is already the final build? Or are you going to make changes to them?

As I said before, thanks a lot for all your efforts and keep up your fantastic work!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom B3 For C3000

Actually, this weekend I'm going to try to upgrade my NAND to 128 Mb (just imagine - snow-white C3100!  ).

I didn't know that this was possible.

Are you going to share your experiences in these forums? TIA!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xmms - Need Mpeg 1/2/3 Plugin

« on: August 07, 2006, 02:53:12 am »

@Greg2,
@InSearchOf:

Thank you, 'ar' does the job!

@alee16:

This ipk does only contain one binary and one symlink. As far as I understand mpg321 is a free MP3 player, no libraries included. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Oops, they are really different?

How can I extract files from OZ ipk's?

« on: August 06, 2006, 07:04:03 pm »

OK, I found it , but it's called mpg321 and I think it has the mpg123 library.  Here's the link:
mpg321

If that version doesn't work, you might try some of the older versions found here:
http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.op...icial/unstable/

Thanks for this link!

However, it seems that this ipk package is broken as an ipkg install gives following errors:

Code: [Select]

zcat: mpg321_0.2.10-r0_arm.ipk: not in gzip format
tar: ./control.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file
mv: unable to rename `//home/tmp/ipkg/mpg321/control/*': No such file or directoryI also tried the versions from the previous feeds, however, they all give this error. Is OZ using a different ipk format than pdaXrom??

but I think you can strip off the header with dd like this (it's completely untested, though):

Code: [Select]

dd if=input.mp3 of=fixed.mp3 bs=44 skip=1

Ah, thanks for this hint! I checked a number of MP3 files and it seems that they all start with 0xfffa or 0xfffb in the first two bytes. Some of those MP3's which xmms wouldn't play have an arbitary number of "other" bytes before that tag. For example, for the song I mentioned in my earlier posting I need to skip 70 bytes (instead of those 44 you mentioned):

Code: [Select]

dd if=Wamdue{...}.mp3 of=Wamdue{...}-fixed.mp3 bs=70 skip=1
For another of my unplayable MP3 files I have to skip 6758 bytes (that one would not have been reported as an RIFF/Wave format just as of type 'data' by the "file" utility. I don't know where these bytes come from .) . However, after stripping those bytes they play now fine in xmms!

If I find the time I'll do some research on MP3 file formats. Perhaps it is possible to write a small shell script which searches for the proper MP3 tag and automatically strips off everything before.

At least I know now how to convert them manually if I come across these "illegal" MP3's. Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Flash Player With Firefox

« on: August 06, 2006, 06:58:50 am »

As far as I know there are open source projects available. IIRC their names are "gplflash" and "gnash". You may want to search these forums for these keywords in order to find out whether somebody succeeded to compile them on Zauri.

I think you are misssing the mpg123 library.  I'm not sure if it is already built for pdaxrom or not, I'm pretty sure they have it in OZ (maybe it would work?).

Hmm, I thought that the make/build process would create this library? It is part of the xmms sources and located in directory xmms-1.2.10/Input/mpg123. However, it only creates the static version.

Where exactly can I find it in OZ as you mentioned so I can try it? TIA!
