Kathrin Rc9 Out..

[Martin]

Hi ...

did the "ipkg update" and "ipkg upgrade" only with stable feed after flashing the newly uploaded RC9 (I call it RC9.1) ...

... upgrading of pango_1.8.0 giving errors like this ...

--------------------
/usr/bin/pango-querymodules: relocation error: undefined symbol g_fopen in /usr/lib/libpango_1.0.so.0 ...
--------------------

Any other having problems with that?

I use partition root 110 MB / user 11 MB

Thanks
Martin

I had to reflash a few times before I got it working well - do NOT do ipkg upgrade with rc9, it seems to break it!

Just load the pkgs you want from the current feed and perhaps some of the unstable too (kdepim 2.01 worked as did tuxcards, portabase and vnc) if you are brave. I have not had any issues since, apart from bluetooth but that's my own lack of understanding.

@markbedish

THANKS to you ... this was quite the quickest answer I got for a question :-)

Yes, I will try it again ... I think gtk2 / glib2 / pango will make the problems on "ipkg upgrade" ...

Yes I like to have kdepim from unstable feed too ... because I really want to have sync my pc with korganizer and kaddress ... hope it works ... but I have some problems understanding the thing with konnektor :-( any good explanation or how to?

Thanks
Martin

Martin, if have some problems with  kdepim , please make a new thread, even in an other forum like Software or on the forum at http://www.pi-sync.net/.

It's just better for the others as it is easier to find the info afterwards but also for you, as users of kdepim  (whatever the rom they use, not to mention that zautrix the main developer of kdepim is quite active here ) will most likely read a thread with kdepim, not the 3rd page of "Kathrin Rc9 Out"

@pgas

Thanks for your answer ...

Yes I read some forum and lists for KDEpim and pi-sync ... my post before is more like a small comment an kdepim ... hope say will move it to stable thread ... I'll test kdepim and sync functions at the moment ...

Thanks
Martin

Dear pdaxrom team :

thanks a lot for this new version, as usual, you did a great job !

yet there still is a pb when you try to install it on a 750 with only a root partition and no /usr (which by the way is becoming more and more important as the rom size is going bigger and bigger).

when installing the rom on a single partion c750, you get stuck into a VFS error (unable to mount root on i don't remember what). The only way to have it working is to use Hine's hack :

On Linux PC(or your Z)
1: Extract tools.tar
tar xvf tools.tar
2: Copy the C760 kernel on the C750 kernel.
cp ./tools/kernel-c760/zImage.bin ./tools/kernel-c750/zImage.bin
3: Remake tools.tar
mv tools.tar tools.tar.orig
tar cvf tools.tar ./tools/
4: You will use this tools.tar to install RC8.

On Your C750
5: Boot Installer
6: Fix Sharp loader NAND 64MB limit
Select "3 NAND Flash Utils" -> "3 Fix Sharp loader NAND 64MB limit (SL-C760/C860 only)"
7: Reboot Installer
8: Change root partition size
Select "3 NAND Flash Utils" -> "1 Resize root partition"
Input "57"
9: Reboot Installer
10: Install RC8
Select "1 Install new ROM"

which uses the c760 kernel instead of the c750 one.

NOTE : File names have changed since RC8, so this hack has to be editted, but the global idea is here.

Do you think you can do something about this in future release ?

I hope this will be usefull for someone, it was for me...

Alan - i know you contacted Sash and we will be using this in the next update.

another idea is to have a rom without apps .make an sd card ext2 or 3 and load needed apps to that.
this way the rom would be small

This is exactly what I would like.

most of the preinstalled apps can just be uninstalled and installed back to sd card but we will build a slim line version soon.

if ipkg upgrade gives you error while upgrading pango, simply remove and install pango after the upgrade sequence finished. Solves, in the mean time
