Hi, pulled out my Z after a long time to try Zubuntu 2.0, and I like it!
Anything new on the illegal instruction problem?

apt-get upgrade fails when trying to update bash due to an illegal instruction.

Ubuntu / Zubuntu 1.0 Rc1

@jon_j: I have the same card and had the same problem: here I what I did to get it work.

1. get the modules which work: Orinoco does the job, while hostap/hermes don't, so add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
blacklist hostap_cs
blacklist hostap
backlist hermes

2. If you don't reboot, unload hostap with rmmod

3. next time you put your card in it should be attributed eth0, so set it up in /etc/network/interfaces

4. to avoid the problem with dhcp, set it up with static ip: for example

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.11.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.11.1

5. ifup eth0

6. if it still doesn't work, check that /etc/resolv.conf points to your router's ip. For example:
nameserver 192.168.11.1


Hope this helps

Thank you very much Cortez for this great release.
I am especially impressed by the speed, even on my cheap sd card. Much better than Andromeda.

As for problems, I have the same as Jon_J with the modules.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Things Yet To Be Done With The Zaurus

« on: October 22, 2008, 11:35:41 am »

Someone asked in another thread for music writing software.  Where is he?

That's me! There is denemo for composing + a bunch of stuff for midi playback in debian, but a nice do-it-all app for qt would be nice

Debian / Andromeda Installation

ext3 is journaled ext2. Hence:

mke2fs -j  /dev/hdXn (name of your partition)

Android / Android 0.9-beta For Zaurus Sl-c3x00 (spitz)

« on: September 23, 2008, 02:33:12 am »

Dear cortez, sorry for late feedback.

I tried the image on my sl-c3200, I let the updater do its work and when I came back I was booted into Poky.
The problem was, there was no android directory in the home folder....

Maybe something went wrong during the updater process and I wasn't there to see the error output? (out of space maybe?)

I hope to have time to try again soon.

Best regards,

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

if only it had no joysticks and more keys instead... The fact that it does not "look" serious means I can't use it many places.

Sharp ROMs / Qtrdesktop

« on: August 27, 2008, 09:44:18 am »

Could anyone point me to a working/recent version of qtrdesktop?
The link from ELSI doesn't work.

Thanks


EDIT: OK I found one: http://shimi.info/ipk/qtrdesktop-jp_1.4.1-1.3_arm.ipk

Is this the most recent?

Debian / Customized New Rootfs

« on: August 18, 2008, 08:16:51 pm »

I only got mine to work with orinoco.

Strangely, after a few times the card would try to load with hostap and fail.

What I did was turn off the card, rmmod hostap_cs hostap, and put it back in, and it would work.
(And strangely I only had to do it once.)

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxng

« on: August 04, 2008, 10:54:13 pm »

I have been messing around with browsers on my Z under debian, and I have found that "Arora" (based on Qt4 + webkit) is very good.
Much faster to launch than firefox + support for javascript working.
