It isn't. Poodle requires an SD card for installation.

RP and lrg did create a fix for the volume control. The basic problem was that there was no main volume channel mapped. I did create a hack that works. I am not sure if the changes have been pushed yet or not.

I'll update the asoc patch for 2.6.17 and have a look.

Especially while trying to get my GPS reciever working. Sometimes it just wont boot while the reciever is plugged into to the serial port. Sometimes if I boot it up into Opie and then plug in the GPS reciever it reboots soem times it stays on. If I start gpsd like this "gpsd /dev/ttyS0" gpsd starts fine but a "cat /dev/ttyS0" just spits out garbage and qpegps does not ever pick up a signal. I used this GPS on sharpROM with zroadmap and it worked fine.

No GPS here to test sorry.

Also I can't control the volume from xmms-embedded the slider moves but the sound stays at the same level.

It is unlikely that any Opie bugs will get fixed anytime soon :-(

It does change with alsamixer though. I don't have to do a user memory erase with this latest package right? doesn't the install write over it?

Neither the installation nor any upgrades will touch your /home partition (at this time).
In fact, the flash isn't touched at all (besides flashing the new kernel of course)

I know you said that you don't have a GPS to test but I jusst wanted to ask this again as I am not sure if this should work like I think: if I cat /dev/ttyS0 with a GPS reciever hooked up to my serial port I should see the NMEA sentences output to stdout, provided baud rate and all is correct right?

Also, I just installed the new GPE rom (same version) because you said Opie is not being supported , however everytime it goes into suspend I can't wake it up and I have to reset. Is there something I can do about this? Thanks.

Only if your GPS is in NMEA mode. If it's suddenly using a binary protocol (garmin, sirf, etc) you needs either gpsd or switch it back to NMEA.

If it is not too forward, might I suggest that you include a link to dist-upgrade instructions, and changelog in your notification post.

Whilst all experienced zaurus users will be able to figure out how to use dist-upgrade, people new on the scene may have difficulty finding the instructions.

Good idea! Want to write something up?

I will look at it tomorrow or Saturday, too much football on the TV tonight.

Is there a way that I can undo my last dist-upgrade.

I need to get a screen shot of the update stage of the dist-upgrade, the bit after press enter to continue.

Also have you an address that I can email the html file to. You can send it to:

steven dot mcintosh at blueyonder dot co dot uk

Thanks

Okay, I'm sold on the Hentges ROM. However... should I be switching my Collie to GPE?

I'm also considering buying an Akita (C1000) in a week's time. GPE on that too?

At least gaim should come pre-installed on Hentges, Firefox is included in the spitz images.
Haven't used either in a long time tho.

I'm a fan of Opie on QVGA (ie: 320x240) machines. On VGA (ie: all clamshells) however, I do prefer GPE and its X11 goodness

Not directly, no. You could try using the testing feed (dist-upgrade --type=testing) but that might b0rk your installation

I have recently installed the Hentges GPE image and I am having some problems with it. I will post them here but is there a bugtracker I should post this to? Is there a page which I can read to see if anyone has had similar problems with this particular ROM and what solutions they might have come up with. I hate to waste your guys time asking repeat questions. I have read this entire topic. I am somewhat new to beta testing (although I do run Debian testing) so I apologize for the lack of knowledge/proper etiquette. The problems are listed below:

1) When I suspend GPE it just stops responding and the backlight never goes off. I have to reset to get it back up.

2) Some keys on my keyboard stop responding. ie caps lock and FN. A reboot will fix this.I can't use num lock at all.

3) Applet launchers on the panel disappear at random. A reboot doesn't fix this, I have to readd them to the panel.

4) If I minimize a window it is gone forever (or until the next reboot) and the associated application cannot be restarted.

5) xmms window does not fit on the screen and xmms will not play mp3s correctly, the sound is garbled.

6) xmms-embedded will not install. ipkg says it can't find the package.

xmms-embedded is an opie app... When I tried gpe a while back the lack of a good GUI media player for QVGA was one of the reasons I didn't get very far. I second CoreDump's assesment that for now, Opie is the better choice for collie and poodle.

GPE on Poodle is not very well tested since the machine is basically OOM right when it hits the login manager....Maybe your resume is b0rke due to low RAM? Tried adding some swap?

Quote

Numlock doesn't work which is a driver problem. The GPE keymapping is far from complete (see lack of testing above) but at least in the VT all keys should work, did you try that?

Quote

3) Applet launchers on the panel disappear at random. A reboot doesn't fix this, I have to readd them to the panel.

I duno what could be causing it. Maybe the OOM killer is killing off these apps?

Minimized windows can be found the the Active Tasks folder in GPE
