Xqt

[Anonymous]

Try installing some of the packages made for the X11 rom (look in the ZUG X11 forum for links to feeds).

I haven\'t played with Xqt much yet, but I did grab the gimp package from one of the X11 feeds and had no problems installing/running it.

i have had success running the gimp from the x11 feed, many of the other apps require the libraries:

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0     libxml2.so.0   libgdk-x11-2.0

anyone kow where i can get the libraries required to run these programs (abiword and freeciv client)?
i assume they are part of the x11 rom as abiword ran fine when i tried it before i flashed back to qtopia, perhaps someone could email or up me the libraries from their x11rom install?

I\'m not sure if Xqt work with OZ (3.3.6pre1)...

I\'m getting this when I\'ve tryied to start Xqt:

Code: [Select]

Xqt: relocation error: Xqt: undefined symbol: _7QString.shared_null

You need to use the compat libs

[ced]

the compatible libs gui is a bit shitty...
I\'ve selected --] List --] Applications
and the dialog box with the drop down list is empty

any file I can change manually?

[lardman]

See what the .desktop file points at - it\'s an opie-sh script which creates the GUI so you should be able to read it and work out what to do on the command line.

Have the compat libs worked for you? I get the listbox filled, I wonder if your install didn\'t work properly.

if you install libgimp and gimp from the x11rom feed they work nicely.. Perhaps someone can explain how to compile for xqt and some of us can work on it?

[lardman]

If those files work (from the x11rom feed) then you could always download sash\'s toolchain from his home page.

Help! I\'ve finally got around to trying to get more than just Xqt running. But it won\'t.

I\'ve installed:  
- xqt-server
- xlibs
- xbase-clients
- xbase-etc
- xqt-startup-scripts
- blackbox

When I run the startx command from the terminal I get this:

# startx
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/startx: 131: mcookie: not found
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
Using authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad \"add\" command line
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
Using authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad \"add\" command line

xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no server \"X\" in PATH

Use the -- option, or make sure that /opt/QtPalmtop/bin is in your path and
that \"X\" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display.  Possible server names include:



It looks like it\'s looking for \'X\' as the X server (as per the standard), is this Xqt? I tried creating a symlink from Xqt to X but then all that happened was that I had \'/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/X\'  continually scrolling down the screen until I ctrl-c\'d it.

FYI I can run Xqt and I get the dappled background with an X cursor but nothing else (ie I am using the compat libs and it works).

Thanks,

I had the exact same \"xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server \"X\" in PATH\" problem.

I had run out of space during the install so I replaced my 64MB (home-on-)SD card with a 128MB SD card after copying the contents of the 64MB vard across. I uninstalled the X stuff and then re-installed it and it started working. I don\'t know what really went wrong but somewhere in this process it got fixed.

[lardman]

Okay, I think I\'ve got enough space, I\'ll try ipkg-link\'ing everything to be sure that the symlinks have taken.

Do you have an \'X\' binary then? What is running (ps-wise) when it\'s all working?

Could somebody please post a XQt howto and what requirements it has memory and space wise?

Thanks

[TimW]

Si, sorry about the delay - I was stuck at home yesterday with no net access.

Here is what is running when I have blackbox installed:

startx
xinit
sh
Xqt
sh
blackbox

I got this list by noting the largest pid before starting X and then listing any new stuff in pid order.

I don\'t have an X binary or symlink (at least not on the path from the konsole). It may be that one of the rc files sets the default server and that failed to install properly. Or, IIRC, I also tried some of the other window managers when I first installed X and one of those sets the default server wrong. Or maybe it just didn\'t install properly - after all I did run out of memory.

Cheers, I\'ll try it again this evening.

Right, I\'ve got it working.

I think the problem stems in part from the fact that I\'m running as root rather than as zaurus.

Anyway I had to change the permissions (it didn\'t have execute permission) for the x11r6 file which is symlinked from various places including /etc/X11/rstart/commands/x.

I also copied the two config files which are supposed to be placed in /home/zaurus to /root.

Thanks for your help Tim.

I\'ve a couple more questions: What\'s up with the taskbar? It has some text on it and half a clock but I can\'t actually read it as it\'s all squashed up. I tried dragging it but it\'s not interested, also I couldn\'t find a way to change it in the config menu. Any suggestions? Or is this the way blackbox looks on all computers ;-)?

Secondly, how can I get brackets? The fn key is used to simulate the right click I think and I need to use fn to get the brackets (for gnuplot amongst other things).

Cheers,


Si
