Meanie,
i still have some linking trouble with your scripts : auto linking is impossible with my nokia, and i only have this message in /var/log/message:
pin_code_request......

edited:
changing security from "auto" to "user" enabled me to connect the Z and the nokia.


else what do you mean by "new template for GPRS connections" ? i see nothing in /etc/ppp/peers (except my orange template)

Meanie,

I tried to watch a movie (mpg) with XMMS but it failed. There comes up a separate window where normaly the movie should start. This window disappears very quick and comes up again. This goes as long as you hit the 'stop' button. Could it depend on the transparency character of mrxvt?

With smplayer it dind't work too.

Do you a idea?

i just installed the new version on my c3k, a few things i've noticed so far.

1. when starting x, everthing was turned 90 degree's ccw. the machine type wasn't detecting correctly, i edited /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and the lines with RES="" for wildcard and the older model's copied the screen statement to them and it was fine.

2. ever time i use tab it also toggles caps lock, assuming it used /etc/X11/kb/spitz.xmodmap so i took out the entry for caps on the key with tab, that worked, but with how the entries were it should have been fine before. i don't think its loading spitz.modmap correctly, havn't finished looking into this yet though.

more on 2/3. it wasn't because of the spitz.xmodmap, for some reason it wasn't detecting my machine type again, i just hard coded xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/spitz.xmodmap after it does all the checks and its happy. and it looks like this fixed the 6 now too.

3. the 6 doesn't work, its mapped right in the xmodmap file, but everytime i hit it it brings up some stupid keyboard popup about languages.

4. in space invaders when your going left and let go of the question mark button you keep going, but if your using / to go left and let go you stop right away. question mark's behavior is annoying, no idea why it does that.

5. My stowaway usb keyboard doesn't work with this kernel, i know it worked fine with the open zaurus kernel i was using before this, but now every character shows up 4 times in the console when i type.

this is by far the best rom yet for the c3k, great job.

mplayer worked great with accelerated fullscreen video.

 i've been neglecting my z for a while working on other projects, so this is the first one of these builds i've tried.

Hi,

I have two questions concerning desktop links and samba:

Desktop Links:
I've installed kdepimpi and now want to create a link at the desktop for KA/Pi & KO/Pi like AbiWord or Putty which are default of Meanies pdaXii13 versions.

I've searched a lot in this forum and Meanies documentation but I haven't found anything.

Could anyone of you describe how to do this.

Samba:
I've already installed the ndis5 driver on my XP computer. When I plug in the usb-cable i can ping my zaurus [192.168.129.201]. On the "USB-Settings" I put in the same data as meanie did in his pdaXrom documentation http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom-pdaxrom.html
When I start samba I want to access from my XP computer to the zaurus but I couldn't see any released folders. For you to know I haven't done any samba setting on the zaurus.

What settings should I do to see my released folders on the zaurus?

the desktop is just rox pinboard, just use rox and drag the executable you want to the desktop and it will create a desktop shortcut. it is similar on how windows works..., ie you can right click on the shortcut and change its icons, its name, etc...

as for samba, you want to be able to mount your Zaurus from an XP machine? you need to start the Samba service on your Zaurus after you have established your network (plugged your USB cable in tcp/ip mode). I purposely disabled samba by default so it does not consume extra resources when it is not in use. you can manally start and stop samba from the GUI using the Samba Controller GUI, or just start and stop it from the command line, ie:

samba start

Your WinXP registry might also need to be hacked to allow the password to be passed correctly. see the winannoyances website on tips on how to do this...

if you want to use your Zaurus to connect to your windows shares, then use LinNeighborhood which is has a desktop shortcut called 'samba' ...

Yes, that's the problem myself and others have had on the C1000.

[conundrum]

I've encountered this bug on the C3200 as well using 5.3.5 full.

Does the keyboard still work (Menu key -> Menu / "Reboot" possible etc.)?

Yesterday I found a way to reproduce that (or maybe only a similar) problem.

I have created a shellscript-based backup application for weeXpc. That shell script uses the "script" utility for logging the script output.

When this applicatoin is started from a terminal (mrxvt) it works nicely.
However, when it is started directly from the menu using a .desktop file which simply invokes the shell script, the entire GUI isn't responsive anymore: No touch screen input, no keyboard input, and no screen output updates anymore.

However, the system is still operable remotely via ssh.

It seems that the script ustility causes that behavior, because other shell scripts, which are programmed very similar, but without using the script utility, work flawlessly when run from the menu.
And when I change the exec line in the desktop file from

Code: [Select]

exec=weexpc-backup.sh
to

Code: [Select]

exec=mrxvt -ip 0 -e "weexpc-backup.sh"
it also works without a problem.

This may not be the same use case as in your cases, but it could be a hint about what causes that problem in general. Maybe someone more knowledgable about X can estimate from these data points, where the root of the problem may be.

Do you have any way ro reproduce the problem on pdaXii13?
