Zaurus - pdaXrom / Problem With Inodes At The Boot Time. [solved]

« on: September 18, 2006, 07:10:47 pm »

Don't worry about it - it's normal behaviour and there is nothing wrong with your filesystem. It's just an artifact of how jffs2 works.

There's a detailed explanation at https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...=20773&hl=jffs2

Heh, of course... (for some reason I decided they were ext2 messages). Good thing someone around here knows what they're talking about!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How Do I Print To A Networked Printer?

« on: September 18, 2006, 07:07:40 pm »

I found the log, and the cupsd.conf file was named cupsd.conf.default. Now it starts OK, but I can't get to http://localhost:631/ in firefox. I get a 404 error. What now?

Thanks for your help.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141744\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Are you sure it started OK? Note that the default security settings in cupsd.conf only allow access from the local machine (but localhost should work fine...). Check out some of the other settings in the conf file to see if there are any immediately obvious problems.

/dev/mmcda1 on /mnt/card type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /mnt/cf2 type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev)

Are these correctly unmounted at shutdown (especially the second one)?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cell Ir Beta3 Help?

I was thinkinking thant this bit :
# Compression
# Turn off compression protocols we know won't be used
nobsdcomp
nodeflate

is the problem

see-- we still get:
sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x1 <deflate 15> <deflate(old#) 15> <bsd v1 15>]
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <compress VJ 0f 01> <addr 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns1 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns3 0.0.0.0>]

Good point - those settings aren't working because they're in the options file for pptp, not for voq. Judging by the output of ppp, you're probably right in thinking that adding nodeflate and nobsdcomp to the peers/voq file might just work...

crtscts

As you're using IR this should be an invalid option (if you invoke pppd manually you'll see an error). You should replace it with "nocrtscts".

Actually this works fine for me using IR - the mobile phone is surprisingly transparent when used as a modem.

I don't think you need the last two lines you talked about though (novj and the IP address), although the settings in peers/voq might take precedence anyway. All the other lines in options.ttyS0 look fine; what do the -ac, -pc, -vj options do?

You should be able to ignore the options.pptp file as it's not being used here.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Firefox And Xfce4 Keymapping Questions

« on: September 18, 2006, 12:13:35 am »

No luck however with the keymapping, I have managed to allocate Fn+(other key) commands by a combination of the the windows manger settings and manually editing the keythemes file.  Unfortunately, the settings do not seem to survive restarting xfce4.  Maybe this can be fixed somewhere in the .xinitric.xfce4 file, but I am too much of a newbie to have a clue where to start!

The xinitrc file is just another script - insert a line that calls one of your own to make the changes required (e.g. copy in the correct keythemes file). Put it somewhere near the end so it runs after xfce is loaded.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How Do I Print To A Networked Printer?

« on: September 18, 2006, 12:10:04 am »

Any tips?

Have a look in /var/log/cups/error_log, it might give a clue.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141685\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

There's always a possibility...

It's probably missing a dependent library or something silly like that

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How Do I Print To A Networked Printer?

I have a Dell 3100cn networked laser printer. I would like to be able to print to it from my Zaurus. Can anybody tell me how to do this?

Thank you.
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Install the cups package, start it via /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups, and point your browser to [a href=\"http://localhost:631]http://localhost:631[/url]. You should then have a reasonably nice gui to install the printer.

that's what I thought, too.

afaik I have no compresion turned on in ppp. My impression was that somehow the z was trying to do compression"  by default.  I'll poke around and post the settings.  Hopefully this is simple. Thanks for the help-- a little more, and I think I'll have it.

BTW maybe a pdaX cellphone wiki or howto might  be a good idea?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141596\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

You could always post the contents of your /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/<xx> files so we can have a look.

By the time you get it working, you'll have all the info you need to add it to the wiki...

Here is what i get (ok, i copied a few attempts) Can anyone help me figure out why my connection is being terminated? I read on a mac forum that tcpip header compression can do something like this...Help?:

<snip>

sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x1 <deflate 15> <deflate(old#) 15> <bsd v1 15>]
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <compress VJ 0f 01> <addr 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns1 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns3 0.0.0.0>]
rcvd [LCP ProtRej id=0x4 80 fd 01 01 00 0f 1a 04 78 00 18 04 78]
rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x5]
LCP terminated by peer
sent [LCP TermAck id=0x5]
Connection terminated.

<snip>

The above lines are the guts of the problem. After successfully connecting and authenticating, protocol negotiation takes place. The first two lines above are your machine telling the remote one that you need various compression etc turned on. The rcvd lines are the remote machine rejecting the protocol negotiation and telling you to disconnect.

Normally a basic ppp modem connection (such as this) doesn't use any compression or extra settings - just straight out unencrypted and uncompressed data. What settings do you have in your /etc/ppp/options file? Or other ppp settings files?

From what I can see, you're 99% of the way there - just a matter of ppp configuration.

I'll mess with it more on the Z now that I know I can connect with it.
Of course, on the Z it will have to be IR,I think.  It uses some proprietary windriver on usb.  Maybe it can be probed and deciphered??  I guess that can wait til I try ir on the Z.

I use my Nokia via USB with my Linux laptop, but no-go with the Z as yet due to the older kernel not having the USB stuff up to scratch. Probably a lot more likely with beta4 (for those who can run it...)

Perhaps you've already tried this, but maybe there is a simple problem...

Windows:

09-13-2006 17:35:27.859 - Send: AT+cdcont=1,"IP","cellular1wap","",0,0<cr>

Zaurus:

(+cgdcont=1,"IP","cellular1wap,"",0,0^M)

... is missing the 'AT' at the start (Windows usually puts this in automatically, but mostly Linux/pppd just does exactly what you tell it). pppd times out waiting for a response because the phone won't respond to anything without an AT...

I also see you're missing a closing quote, but maybe that's just a typo?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Firefox And Xfce4 Keymapping Questions

« on: September 13, 2006, 09:04:54 pm »

Ironically, my installation of xfce4 just went through similar misfortune. I decided to give up the Fn key, allocated the brightness control to Alt+3/4, then configured all the menu icons last night. Then suddenly the panel crashed with segmentation fault - after that, it just won't load with the menu plugin.

I came back to matchbox+ROX combination after that. Although I very much liked what I saw in xfce4, I cannot spend all my time tweaking the windows manager... With all due repect to Chero and other people who have been trying hard, I guess I will try again when it's a bit more stable

ps. uMP2K, bet you hadn't problems like this with the good ol' MP2K, right? I miss my green machine too...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141351\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

For what it's worth, only the panel has ever given me any problems in xfce, and I solved that problem by not using it (use fbpanel instead, and the right-click xfce menu still works fine too). Never any issues with key mapping or anything like that...

It would certainly benefit us SL6000 users if there were an active dev who had one...

Personally I quite like the ability to script whatever I like, but I can see it is a serious drawback to new users when they *have* to do it to make things work. On the up side, once everything is working life is pretty sweet...
