TaskManager in Linux? Freeing up memory and reducing...

[lardman]

In the meantime try something like (assuming this is the command you use):

./stratagus -d /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2 &] logfile.log

Then after you reboot take a look in logfile.log

How do you boot directly to command prompt in QTopia linux?

[TonyOlsen]

I tried:

Code: [Select]

./stratagus -d /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2 &> /mnt/cf/logfile.txt

(since I don\'t have write permissions in /home/QtPalmtop/bin ).

(First time I forgot to add the \"&\" and the logfile.txt was empty.  What does \"&\" tell linux to do?)

After the crash the logfile.txt now contains:

Code: [Select]

Display size = 480x640

How do you boot directly to command prompt in QTopia linux?

Tony -

Try:

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...ht=boot+command

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...ht=boot+options


I think one of those may have the info.


RW

[TonyOlsen]

Ok... you reboot the Zaurus, select \"Yes\" to close everything, and then hold down \"D\" and \"B\" forever until the console shows up after the boot.

...but it won\'t let me run stratagus.  I\'ll continue this in the WarCraft thread...  Thanks!

If you want to get rid of the qtopia overhead, then just kill qpe.

as root

echo a ] /home/sharp/etc/launch.default
killall qpe

The screen will og black then you will be left with a login prompt - login as root (or zaurus if you want).
You might also need to killall qserver (or qeserver - can never remember - check with ps ax) then you should be able to start stratagus - if it is a SDL game and complins of no qeserver then don\'t kill qesever,

[Stubear]

As I mentioned in another thread, booting via the D+B mode doesn\'t boot into the normal filesystem - you will need to mount /dev/mtdblock3 to access any qtopia stuff

Stu

[lardman]

This app needs to use Qtopia I assume (from reading the log file output), or is this just the version of SDL which it\'s using?

] redirects stdout
&] redirects stdout and stderr

The log hasn\'t given me any ideas I should add.

Sorry,

Si

[TonyOlsen]

Thanks!

I tried all of these.  None of them worked, but now I have more knowledge about Linux.  Thanks.

This is a much nicer & easier way to get to the console... thanks.

I get many socket errors when running stratagus from this mode.  It appears to be tied into the SDL libraries, and \"ps\" only shows \"sh\" and \"ps\".  Is there a way to load the SDL libraries without QTopia?

[lardman]

You\'d need SDL libs specifically compiled to use the framebuffer directly I assume.

I don\'t even know whether such a beast exists.


Si

P.S. You could try using gdb and strace to step through the program and try to work out exactly where it goes wrong....
