Does Kpwm, Come In Pi-sync Package?

[microsoft/linux]

I want to use the KPwM on my Z. Does it come in the .ipk package from the site? Is their another place where I could download a binary for it?

[microsoft/linux]

I downloaded it, and it does. However, it doesn't work. I get the little hourglass on the start bar, but it quits on me. It doesn't start.

Also, how do you kill a defunct process? I'm using the Sharp ROM.

I'm rather new with the 5500 and I'm running oz, not Sharp. When I ran 'pwmpi' from the command line I got this error:

Code: [Select]

pwmpi: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directoryIn this thread Fatty shows .so.5 is here: http://212.10.30.205/rc10/Zaurus-Collie/fe...x_5.0.5_arm.ipk
After installing it, PWM/Pi works.

Also, how do you kill a defunct process?

If there is a console, use 'top' or 'ps' to list processes, then use 'kill' to stop one by pid.

running ps aux |grep vi gives

root      5428  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        ZN   Oct20   0:00 [vi <defunct>]
root     32324  0.0  1.4  1372  472 pts/0    S    14:41   0:00 grep vi

I then run 'kill 5428' as root. Then I check to see if died(ps aux | grep vi), and nothing has changed. Thoughts?

Also when I run 'pwmpi' from the console, I get the error

pwmpi: error while loading shared libraries: libmicrokde.so.2: cannot load shared object file: No such file ore directory

I've installed the kmicrokdelibs package, and it still isn't working

try 'kill -9 <pid>'. That should take care of it.

$ killall -9 vialso works and is more convenient (don't have to look up the PID first).

Either way, though, the -9 forces a hard kill.  Issuing the command without the -9 just sends a polite request to the application asking it to shut down.  This is preferable if it works, since it gives the app a chance to close files and cleanup first, but if the app is locked up, it doesn't work.

[microsoft/linux]

neither of those solutions work. Other ideas? basically the same thing happens, it just stays listed as a process.

[BlackCardinal]

Is the process not owned by your normal user for some reason?  Try changing to root (with 'su') and then killing the process.  A normal user can only kill their own processes.

tried that too, same result. I really have no idea as to why this isn't working. I was trying to edit /etc/inetd.conf, and then suspended the Zaurus. Then when it came back up, vim was gone, and the terminal was blank, so I closed the terminal. I'm not new to Linux, so I've tried most of the basic things(I didn't know about the -9 option though).
