Problems With Pdaxqtrom
« on: January 11, 2007, 06:38:53 am »
I have just installed pdaXqtrom (like 5 minutes ago) on my C760 and can't seem to get it working well. I can start X, but most apps don't start. I've tried so far AbiWord (one of the reasons I wanted to try pdaXqtrom or pdaXrom), the calculator and Ethereal, and only Ethereal did start up. The other ones just did nothing.

I'm now thinking about uninstalling, so I wanted to know how to do it. I have a backup of my system from a few days ago, but I'd prefer not to use it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert on this, but you could try to start X from the terminal so you can catch any errors. Same goes for the programs inside.

If you want to use X and have nothing that is on Sharp/Cacko but not pdaXrom, you could try installing it normally. You can just restore a backup if you don't like it.

When you installed Xqtrom did you make sure to load the script in /mnt/pdaxqtrom-apps/./pdaXqtApps-setup????

Try to give us an Idea of how the install went and what you did.  It'll save a lot of guessing.
C1000 w/...  Cacko Lite (When I use the Z alot for business)... pdaXrom (when I see something cool and want to try it.  Best way for me to learn shell commands)

Thanks, that might be it, since I didn't use the script you mention. I'll try again and tell you.

BTW, the install went perfect and I had no error messages, the problem was that the apps I tried just didn't work. The X desktop loaded fine, but the apps just didn't, except some of the smaller ones.
