Problems With Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta3 Sl-c3100

[ZDevil]

I wonder if it is the font problem. Specifying the right font seem to fix the problem.

Could be.
If I start mrxvt fom an rxvt, I see the error message:

Code: [Select]

mrxvt: Cannot open font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono". Using font "Courier new" instead.
hm - can I install additional fonts (the missing one for example)?
What font would work better, which is installed on a default pdaxrom system?

You may want to try out the ttf-bit-stream-vera package from the feed. These fonts look good!

I simply use Rox desktop and drag the icons to the workspace and assign shortcut keys using iceked (one of the icewm configuration tools).   

Yes, I see, I will have to use icewm and rox. Will try that later! :-]

So to simplify (or further complicate?    ) things, there are four ways to launch apps with my setup of icewm + rox:
1) From the launch menu
2) From Rox desktop (simply drag and drop)
3) From assigned shortcut keys (with igorekk's iceked package)
4) From terminals

You can also customize the icons in Rox desktop by: right (or Fn key) click > "Edit item" > keyboard shortcut.
Icons can be changed easily by: right (or Fn key) click > File 'xyz' > "Set Icon" > drag any icon you like to the box
 
A quick and dirty side dish: it seems after switching to icewm, the original brightness key combo Fn-3 (setfl +) and Fn-4 (setfl -) seem not functional. As a remedy I wrote to a dummy script for the two commands and throw it to the bin directory, and then used iceked to assign combo keys (Ctrl-Alt-O and Ctrl-Alt-P in my case) for the commands. Yet I am sure the experts here must have better solutions to this.  

Have a look in /usr/apps
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=137956\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

erm - sorry - but now I'm confused.
I saw the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications.
But in /usr/apps there are xml files AND finally I see that folder structure which matchbox shows on the desktop / in the menu.
However, I have created a new .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and the icon appeared on the next startup (in the correct Tab "Other").

So how are these two directories related?
And how does matchbox know where to put the icon described in the destop file, although the file structure of /usr/share/applications is totally flat (no directories)?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=137965\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

And it seems matchbox simply doesn't read into /usr/local/share/applications , where the desktop files of many contrib packages live.  Correct me if I am wrong (i wish i am).  

Oops. The quotations run amok again ...

Hello,
I've the brightness problem but in beta3 in matchbox on a fresh install
Fn+1, Fn+2, Fn+3, Fn+4 Doesn't work
Is it normal on a 3100, or is it a bad flash?

Thanks in advance

Nope... I dont think they are mapped...

[Sna]

and you know how can i map them?

You can remap them if you put the server option "-kb" into the startx script.

This works very well.

(finally I could help somebody else, after having received so much help from you!   )

Nice, thanks a lot
Nice site too, i'll read that

Next pdaxrom problem:
I tried to set up an onboard development system using the zgcc-3.4.5-4.squashfs image downloaded from Meanie's feed, but when I try to mount the image I get an error:

Code: [Select]

mkdir ~/devel
mount -o loop -t squashfs /path/to/zgcc-3.4.5-4.squashfs ~/devel
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
 Â         mmissing codepage, or too many mounted file systems
However, I cannot see one of these problems to be true.

On http://www.pumb.org/redirect.php?tid=18197&goto=lastpost I read a dialog between dinorex and someone else about that squashfs file being potentionally corrupt and that dinorex provided another copy of this file on another feed (momming's feed).
Where can I find that feed / file?
Or can there be any other problem than a corrupt file?
On Meanie's feed http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/pdaxrom/ this file is 15MB in size, here it is, too. However, on the screenshot at above forum URL it is much larger...

Thanks

Have you tried to do it using the full /blah/blah/devel...

but /etc/profile already has a place (in PATH) to mount that too... which is

/opt/native/arm/3.4.6-xscale-softvfp/


and also what is the difference between the zgcc.img Meanie provides and the one built by sash? More tools?

Interesting question.
Well, I have downloaded the larger zgcc image dinorex mentioned from [a href=\"http://apache.2ndmag.com/~zaurus/]http://apache.2ndmag.com/~zaurus/[/url]. This one can be mounted flawlessly.
But now, what do I do with the mounted image? Is there somewhere a development howto? I have used the devel-image by Silvio Iaccarino under Cacko, that one had a shell script which prepared everything for development (set paths etc.), but I cannot find something like that in this image.

Any help appreciated

are you sure meanie's is the right version of gcc?  He spent a lot of time making a compatable (2.95) compiler squashfs image that ended up in pdaXqtrom.  I have checked the one you mention.. just thought I'd mention it.

[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Well, not sure.
I have now found a zgcc-2.4.6.img. /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit should mount that if present in /home/root.
However, I found teh img file in [a href=\"http://mail.pdaxrom.org/download/1.1.0beta4/Zaurus-7x0-860/new/]http://mail.pdaxrom.org/download/1.1.0beta...us-7x0-860/new/[/url], not in a beta3 directory. So I'm unsure if this is the correct developer image.

And well - on bootup it is not mounted, as it should be by the rc.sysinit script.
However, if I execute the sysinit script manually after a restart the image IS mounted. strange... I'll have to investigate further.

Anyone knows at least if this is the correct image, although it's located in a beta4 directory?

thanks

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=138163\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

found out why it isn't mounted on bootup:
I didn't put the actual file into /home/root but only a link. The file is on the HDD.
BUT: CF services are started after sysinit, so the HDD is not available at this time.
Will have to modify things a bit in order to make this work.
But not today anymore.
See you

Both the 3.4.6 version from the feed and Meanie's 3.4.5 version work. But you are right. Meanie's zgcc image in his feed seems to be corrupt. I downloaded it many times and got the same problem as yours. Then dinorex kindly uploaded his backup copy to me and that one works.

I've put a copy here for the time being, hopefully Meanie will look into that:
[a href=\"http://rapidshare.de/files/28943215/zgcc-3.4.5-4.sfs.html]http://rapidshare.de/files/28943215/zgcc-3.4.5-4.sfs.html[/url]

Meanie's version has some extra stuff (moc, uic, and some libs) for compiling QT apps. Thanks again, Meanie!!    

As for the location of 3.4.6, I ran into a similar (and funny) case here: https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20741  

It is very easy to get started with compilation. Most programs follow the common "./configure;make;make install" procedure.
I always look up the docs in the source plus "./configure --help" for specific settings.
And I am used to creating an ipk/data directory under the source directory and use "make DESTDIR=/source/path/ipk/data install" in order to test and to package my own ipk.

Chero has written an excellent tutorial which you may feel interested  : http://users.telenet.be/zaurususer/Chero/compiling/  

So far all the apps I compiled are done purely with the native SDK, despite that I am just a linux and scripting dummy.  Without doubt, you can make much more out of it.

Thanks for the info.
If I use Meanie's image, should I mount it into the same place as the 3.4.6.img and use it the same way?
I'd really like to be able to compile QT programs as well.

Now I have to fiddle around with the rc.d scripts in order to be able to mount the image at bootup: when rc.sysinit wants to mount the image, ide3, where the image is located and linked to /home/root, is not yet available :-)
