C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sl-c3000 Restorating From Scratch

« on: October 15, 2006, 12:02:53 pm »

Greetings to everybody!

I remember pumping my SL-C3000 back to life when it was almost gone into a paperweight. The beautifull piece of information was shared in here http://www.xlfag.com/zaurus/ - titled "Restorating SL-C3000 from a scratch".

Now I'm not that desperate, actually have OZ running. However because of some minor instability and problems with WLAN, I'd like to turn back to Cacko. I face the same error msgs as once before. Back then I got my Zaurus back following the link abobe. But now the LINK IS DEAD.

So the question: has anybody a copy of the information "Restorating SL-C3000 from a scratch" ? I believe I woudn't be the only one missing that piece of info.


Big thanks,
Mersault

Linux Issues / Multisynk Sl-c3000 <-> Suse 10 Evolution

« on: March 31, 2006, 04:10:00 pm »

Setup: Zaurus SL-C3000 Cacko ROM / SuSE 10.0 + GNOME desktop

Like most of us, I think that finding workable sync configuration between Zaurus SL-C3000 and Linux desktop is a nighmare. Now, something has begin to happen after I sat down and calmly read thru the Multisynk manual.

I've got a USB-connection between Zaurus and desktop. So, with smb://192.168.129.201 on Firefox it's all Zaurus on my desktop. With Multisynk I think I found Evolutions PIM files from a folder .evolution (surprise, surprise!). With remote connection (Zaurus) I chose 'Standard setup' and Multisynk found some PIM files from Zaurus. (I'm using Cacko ROM on my Zaurus with the KO/Pi etc. suite. Anybody knows for sure where this creature hides its calendar and addressbook files?)

When I press the magic button 'sync', the system asks for Zaurus SSH uname + passwd. I don't think I have any so I leave them all blank(?!). Multisynk seems to accept this as next I have 2 icons (cal + addr) with a sign "Loading <something>" 0 % completed". However, this is where it stops. Nothing happens.

Anybody could help me go thru this - I think I've used more or less the last six months to get a sync between Zaurus and desktop linux.

Yours,

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Where To Find Boot Logo?

« on: January 15, 2006, 02:20:27 pm »

Hello. My apologizes if this has come up before (coundn't find with search though). I'm using SL-C3000 and would like to change the boot logo, what file and where do I need to change? OS is Cacko, I lost the original boot logo so I think I might as well try a new one.

So, what .png do I need to replace in order to get my own boot logo?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Cacko With Sl-c3000 Won't Suspend!

« on: January 06, 2006, 06:14:55 am »

Greez! I have had Cacko ROM couple of days. I think in the beginning I didn't have any problems. However now it seems, I can't get the device suspended. On/off button does nothing, neither can I suspend my Zaurus from menu command 'Suspend'.

Now the only way to prevent battery being drained is to remove battery every time I stop working with my Zaurus. I have installed some packages - Opera, KA/Pi, KO/Pi, OM/Pi, PWM/Pi, Kismet (not working), qpdf2 (not working), ksharpDTM etc. etc.

Could any of these packages cause this malfunction. Otherwise my Zaurus SL-C3000 is just perfect!

Deals and Great Z Buys / Pdair: Free Shipping Internationally

« on: January 04, 2006, 08:58:48 am »

I happened to visit Pdair's web-page and noticed they have some (late christmas 2005?) offer. Only as a non-US customer I had to actually place the order before ensuring the offer was _international_.

I only ordered couple of styluses - the original Zaurus SL-C3000 stylus feels a bit cheap. I'm already waiting for my metal 4-in-one stylus with ballpoint, torch and laser pointer. Anybody happen to have experiences with it?

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Network: "no Valid Service Definition File"

« on: January 04, 2006, 12:49:11 am »

Greez! I've finally got my Zaurus sl-c3000 rocking, most importantly with the wlan working. I'm still working with the traditional Zaurus rom but have done some customization. Now - for some reason when trying to get wlan connection from Settings -> Network, the device gives this error message: "No valid service definition file".

I've installed Opera 7.30 and remember deleting some files according to the instructions. Now Opera seems to be the only program to get the wlan connected (I'm writing this on Opera). Netfront of Email cannot get any connection because of this error message.

Could anybody help me with this issue?

Big thanks in advance,

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Debian -> Init: Id "ln" Respawning Too Fast...

« on: September 03, 2005, 03:22:40 pm »

Greetings! Apologizes if this issues is already discussed in somewhere else. I did not find any thread concerning this.

I am a newbie, had Zaurus SL-C3000 for about one month. I have tried various ROM:s and got interested in trying Debian Linux on my Zaurus. I followed instructions on these pages (mainly the first one):

http://www.eleves.ens.fr/home/leurent/zaurus.html
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13560

Now I have my /root/etc/rc.d/rc.rofilesys file modified according to the first link page. I cannot boot anymore. The text-mode boot gives various error-lines and after couple of screens displays this error:

INIT: Id "ln" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

The boot script continues to scroll after 5 mins only to halt again, this goes on endlessly (have left my Zaurus for hours without any difference). I have tried also [unplug] -> [battery off] -> [reset] -> [OK+ON/OFF] -> [number 3] -> [number 1] in order to erase all information. No differense.

Is there anything I can do to restore my Zaurus? - I think I'd be ok if I'd only get to change the old rc.rofilesys over the modified one. But this seems impossible without getting any boot up.

I'm not going to send my Zaurus overseas for repair. Please tell me I don't have a 800 USD hi-tech paperweight on my desk!

Yours,
Mersault
