Some bugs have been found in Open Zaurus 3.5.3. We all know at least one.

Please use this thread in order to list them, so that the developpers' work become more efficient.

Please organize your posts, it will be easier to read. A static form could be usefull. I suggest this form

I have reported the following issue on bugs.openembedded.org:

I receive the following error on Zaurus 5500, OZ 3.5.3/kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-3.5.3 with Opie (last updated 4/22/05):

Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'
I have looked at the control file, and it does not appear to be
malformed (I remember this being a common cause of this error). Also,
does not irk depend on lirc?

These are all previous errors/messages which have been carried over.

ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for xmms-embedded:

This is your error message. Has the packages db become corrupt? Or does xmms expect a later version of libqpe & libqte than is provided. I've only got my GPE machine with me atm so I can't tell you.

[Hrw]

for libqpe1, libqte2 You have to add MACHINE related feed into ipkg.conf

it's feed/machine/collie/ (or podle or c7x0 or tosa)

2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
OPIE image

I've been using the Sharp-Compat libraries to get Jeode and Opera running on 3.5.3 / Opie.
Unlike 3.5.2, there seems to be some old behaviour.  The controls within the Java application seem very unresponsive, with it be to slow to use amd the title bar looks like it's continusly being redrawn, with really massive flickering.

Also I keep getting an error:

Code: [Select]

symbol lookpup error: opera: undefined symbol: _70String.shared_null
This seems to happen if there is an issue with a compatable application and I have to reboot my zaurus.  The only way I seem to be able to resolve this is to relink Opera.

I've listed it on bugs.openembedded.org Ticket 289.

Same for me, and lots of other people too in this other thread:

In opie-console if you have a prompt that is long enough to wrap around (which is common with the prompt path bug), and then you type something that wraps another line you cant go back properly with the left arrow or ctrl-a.

I couldn't report this bug on Mantis... it said "This account is protected." when I tried to use the guest account.

ARRG! this happens in opie-embedded konsole too!

But at least you can shorten prompt when using konsole.

From what I read there is no way to change the prompt in opie-console is that correct?

Hi,
The opie-mobilemsg package is missing the icon, should this be raised as an OPIE issue or a OZ issue?  I assume that OZ create the IPKs?

Right, it would be an OZ issue. No need to add entry to the bugtracker though, I have just fixed this issue. Thanks for noticing.

Greetings,

Having some trouble with my SL-6000L using OZ 3.5.3.

There are yellow and blue lines around the cursor with GPE, but the same problem exists with Opie (yellow tracks on the taskbar, around icons...), even after a full NAND restore and fresh install, which makes me think it could be an OZ issue.

Keymaps are still completely messy (e.g the underscore is missing under Opie) and none of the function buttons managed to work on both systems.
A keymapping utility would be an excellent idea to make those systems a little bit more usable.

Opie & GPE's Network configuration are far to be complete, they lack ESSID/WEP configuration. A taskbar applet for connections, based on network interfaces as the

Bluetooth works great with GPE, although I never managed up to now to make my Belkin card work with the Sharp ROM (a very good surprise indeed).

Another note : there was no bash in /bin (not aven a symlink -> sh). Maybe my file wasn't extracted, but it lacks if some bash scripts use #!/bin/bash

Also, the sound is terribly buggy under Opie (e.g screen taps sound ugly). Didn't try with GPE.

Despite all those troubles, OZ is the best current solution for tosa owners. I hope those bugs will be fixed soon (mainly keymaps and buggy yellow lines)

[Mickeyl]

Thanks for your report, maxg. The sound issue has been fixed (new libqte2 release in the upgrades feed) since the release, the other issues are under construction and will hopefully be fixed in 3.5.4.

After installing OZ 3.5.3 on an SL5500 I've noticed that sometimes, after holding the cancel key to suspend the device, holding the same key to turn it back on doesn't work. To get the device to work again, I have to do a soft reset ... and that is annoying because it resets the system time to the time of the last manually requested reboot.
