frequent hangs on Opie 3.2 ??
« on: November 19, 2003, 01:18:40 am »
All,

I am running Opie 3.2 and am experiencing frequent hangs on suspend-resume cycles. They appear to  be related to being in the cradle.

Is this known?

Is there a work around?

Thanks,
Dan

There are a number of FAQs on the site www.openzaurus.org and I think this is a known problem with no workaround currently. With development on OZ and OPIE having slowed down due to lack of developers, there are still a lot of bugs that need fixing.

I seem to get hangs if I stick my Z in the cradle too soon after un-suspending (which is effectively what you\'re doing by un-suspending in the cradle). I\'ve not had this problem since I started waiting for a little while (5 sec or so - the time it takes for the backlight to come on and the highlight to start moving on the screen) before placing my Z in the cradle.

Perhaps, but nothing which I would consider a show stopper. In fact I can\'t think of a single bug which affects me off the top of my head.

ipkg install usbd-common

Btw., it\'s OpenZaurus 3.2, not Opie 3.2.
