looking real good. im typing from it now   :>    idont think i have any beefs about it yet.
Nice to hear that! I'm glad I didn't mess things up for my first ipk (re)package release.

As far as "looking good" goes, by the way, if anyone has a nicer icon for the menu button (the first on the left, just right of the Security (lock) icon), just let me know. I had to create this one myself, and its ugly because I have no graphic talent...

OK, I uninstalled my previous Opera version, 7.3o with the C3000 fix, and tried to install yours, but I must be missing something, when I try and install the IPK the Package Installer says:

'The filename of this package includes character this application can't handle. Please change the filename and retry install.'

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, I've tried renaming the filename, with no success, so I've reinstalled the previous version again.

Any ideas?

I've fixed it, for one reason or another it would only install if the IPK was on the internal disk.
As I keep all my IPKs on a 256MB SD Card it wouldn't install it until I copied it. Very odd.

Looks great though, good job!

Hi all,

I got a crash (well, a freeze, actually) on the 3000 the other day. It was just when I was trying to sart playing with the GSM/GPRS CF card, and I got a couple of "Bus error" messages when trying to type commands in the terminal (probably trying to access a binary located somewhere in the path while this partition was impossible to access, but that's just a blind guess). Anyway I had to remove the battery, as after a few seconds playing with my almost unusable Zaurus, trying to launch new programs (like the shutdown application) didn't work, and it finally froze. I haven't played again with the CF card, so I'll report if I get anything reproductible.

On another topic - but maybe it's related to the crash I experienced - it seems that the "Tab Setting" application doesn't work correctly. Basically, trying to move an application to another tab just produce a duplicate of the program's icon in the destination tab, but the original icon isn't removed. Deleting a program's icon or a tab doesn't work.
I had a look using the terminal, and it seems that the application creates .desktop files with the "zaurus" user instead of the "root" user. The groupe is correct ("qpe"). And the access rights are wrong as well (rw-r--r-- when the rest of the files are rw-r-----), so I suppose that the "Tab Setting" application might need to be run as root instead of zaurus user to fix this... Anyone else can reproduce this problem with Cacko3k?

Also, the swap part of the battery applet doesn't work anymore for me, I suspect the same kind of problem (suid root needed) than with the Tab Setting application, I'll try to reinstall the Cacko3k alpha to see if I can fix this.

Tab settings work fine for me.  I have a particular tab setup that's always the first thing I do with a new ROM and I've had no problems with it.

OK, thanks for the report. I'm in the process of reflashing the Cacko3k alpha ROM, this should fix things...

Before I perform the second reboot and loose the content of the hard drive, here are the few applications I've tested with the Cacko ROM on my 3000:

BDicty English/French Gold v5.2
Photo Storage v1.0.0-en
U-Bahn navigator v0.3.1
HandCom PaintEditor v1.0.1 (doesn't work right)
IconEdit v0.9.4
Tree!Explorer QT v1.7.0
QTAlamucho v1.0.0-vga
Opie Reader v0.7h
TkcZip v2.0-031205
FxConv v0.2.9-1
qcoptest v0.1.1
SafeDee v2.0.2
ZUC v1.1
NeoCal v2.0.2
PDF Viewer (qpdf2) freetype-2.2.1-20040217
Opera v7.55.6079
AQpkg v1.9

With the exception of HanCom PaintEditor which doesn't work quite right, the rest of the installed files showed a normal behavior, i.e. they work as good as on the Sharp ROM...

I'll do some more testing after the next reboot and once I've reinstalled all the stuff... <sigh>

I've just brought a c3000, and I was looking at the Cacko 1.22 ROM. Long story short, now I'm here, and Cacko3K looks like a really good option.

Is it available yet for download?, and if so, where should I be looking ?

Thanks,

sriley

Ned:  Not yet, but soon!

The guy that put it together (iamasmith) is limiting distribution until he's convinced it's ready.  I can't predict when that will be, but my guess would be a week, or two.

IMO, it'll be worth the wait.

Do you know of any other ROMs etc I could have a play with in the mean time? (any others that are better than the default Sharp ROM that is

Nope! Currently distinctly lacking in ROMs, hence the excitement about the alpha Cacko rom.

sooon....soon

I haven't been playing much with the 3000 for the last few days. It has nothing to do with my new PSP and Untold Legends. Honest.**

I've been thinking on how to resolve the /home problem, without much luck yet. The next thing I'll be working on is repackaging LAMP (Apache, mysql, PHP)  and the Open Media Lending Database for the 3000.  

The OMLD (http://opendb.i-am-vegan.net/index.php) is a comprehensive media database - the last killer application I need for my Z. Unfortunately it is a PHP app, which involves more overhead than I was hoping for.

I've also got a USB CD-R drive I'll be playing with on the Z, as soon as I can find the A->A usb cable it came with.
