how you maps other buttons to run programs?

ok found it

Any can post the actual .xinitrc file?

Do you mean /usr/lib/kde/bin/startkde or /usr/bin/mbsession?

I'm running KDE using the packages in feed and have the same problem in resuming. I notice that when I resume (ie press the ON button) the Z is in fact powered up - I can see the display but the front/backlight isn't on. So I plugged it into the network and logged in to the Z via ssh. Running "ps ax" I find that these processes are still running:

Code: [Select]

29776 root       1112 S < /bin/sh /usr/bin/apm --suspend
29781 root       1088 S < /bin/bash /etc/apm/suspend.d/900cardctl suspend
29782 root        452 S < cardctl eject 0
Killing these processes results in the Z suspending itself again and on the next resume it resumes properly. Could it be that because cardctl eject 0 is somehow not exiting correctly (actually not exiting at all) it is causing the resume process to fail? Taking a stab in the dark I would point the finger at KDE's handling of removable media, maybe it's hanging onto the CF card causing cardctl eject 0 to fail? Any experts care to comment  ?

Oh at last!  We've got the culprit now.  But the question is how to kill these guys?  Is it possible to modify the original apm and then tell KDE to use the mod one instead of the original?

I mean, the /usr/lib/kde/bin/startkde for use Fn keys... and mbsession for load applets....

[urielka]

just edit the original .xinitrc and remove all the stuff about matchbox and gconf and add startkde before the end of the file

Hello all,
I have a weird problem with xrandr on Kde3.5/ Pdaxrom 1.1.0 beta/ 3100.

If I rotate the screen with "xrandr -o 1" everything works well but when I want to switch back to normal ("xrandr -o 0") kde screen is indeed with the normal orientation but it acts like the screen resolution is 480x640 instead of 640x480. (It does not render the desktop in the right side of the screen and the taskbar is not visible because it tries to render it below the screen). I cannot revert the screen back without restarting the X server.

Also, even if I run xrandr with no parameters (in the moment when KDE is rendering fine) it displays:
#xrandr
SZ:      Pixels       Physical   Refresh
*0         480 x 640   (163mm x 217 mm)
  1         240 x 320   (163mm x 217 mm)

which I believe it's wrong (it should be 640 x 480).

I also changed the $defaultserverargs variable from the startx script "-screen 480x640@270" => "-screen 640x480@270" but it behaves the same.
Does anybody else have this problem.

Thanks,
PuthreGuy

To distinguish this image from ShioriKuma's, it's called 'KDE Lite'.  Maybe you can think of a nicer name.  I'm just a sloppy guy.   

Download link here: http://rapidshare.de/files/10517484/KDE_Lite_3.5.0.zip.html 
The zip file includes the squashfs image and a new symlinks package.

Hope someone here will still be brave and interested enough to try out this.

OK I was brave enough to try it  Installed everything and followed instructions as per ShiroiKuma's post.

After I installed your updated symlinks package I examined what it had done and was surprised to see that all the symlinks were of the form:

Code: [Select]

/usr/lib/kde/bin/appletproxy -> /mnt/card/kde/usr/lib/kde/bin/appletproxy
Predictably enough trying to start KDE brings up an error saying "Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation", and a whole bunch of "not found" errors after that.

I'm not sure but shouldn't the symlinks be something like:

Code: [Select]

/usr/lib/kde/bin/appletproxy -> /usr/lib/kde/kde3.5/bin/appletproxy
If so is there a quick and easy way to convert those dodgy symlinks?

10. Edit the startkde file. If you don't know where it is, find it by

Code: [Select]

which startkdeAt the beginning of the file, right after #!/bin/sh add the following line

Code: [Select]

mount -t squashfs - o loop /usr/lib/kde/kde_3.5.0_stripped.squashfs /usr/lib/kde/kde3.5at the complete end of the file add the following line

Code: [Select]

umount /usr/lib/kde/kde3.5[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=109207\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I suggest that the umount command be changed to:

Code: [Select]

umount -d /usr/lib/kde/kde3.5otherwise the loop device won't be freed and after you run KDE a couple of times the mount command will fail because there are no more loop devices.

Can anybody share kde-lite? I can't download from RapidShare...

[ZDevil]

Thanks desertrat for pointing this out.  I'll look into the package I uploaded and corrected it this evening.

I'm also going to upload the kde-lite files to another place soon that is easier to download.

For all those, who like to enjoy all the nice kde programs, but feel kde desktop a little bit heavy on the Z, here are two screenshots of running kde applications on the wonderful fast ROX session environment with pinboard.
I did some tests with different kinds of kde installations and finally installed on the sdcard of my 860, because I need more internal flash left for additional programs than I can get with the compressed internal installation. I also use a 64 MB swapfile on sd.
I wrote some simple scripts to start ROX or KDE directly with the xserver, but for me personally the combination with ROX seems to be the fastest und best usable solution and I can use all he standard features of the pdaxrom.
With ROX I get approx. half the startup times for kde programs than with KDE desktop, f.i. 25 secs for konqueror against 50 secs in KDE. This is (nearly~~~) acceptable...

Lots of thanks and an extra donation for the pdaxrom team for this great edition!

After a marathon session with mc[1] I managed to redo all the symlinks and am happy to report that this KDE-Lite squashfs image works. Thanks ZDevil, ShiroiKuma and sashz

Speed wise, it seems about the same as when I had installed the official feed packages onto microdrive.

I've made a tarball of the corrected symlinks. It corrects an omission in the original, in that the original had a symlink kde3.5 pointing to a non-existent directory causing mount to complain.

To use:

Code: [Select]

cd /
tar zxf /path/to/kde_lite_symlinks_3.5.0-1.tgz
[1] Only joking, I hacked up a script to do the dirty work.

Hello wowo123,
can you explain how you got rox and kde-apps working?
On my c 1000 all apps are crashing due start or short after coming up!

thanks, Denis
