Htc Universal

[datathief]

Code: [Select]

pppd pty 'socat - tcp:127.0.0.1:1702' noauth demand connect /bin/true defaultroute idle 60 holdoff 3Adding "demand" doesn't work without "connect", so I use "connect /bin/true" which doesn't actually do anything.  I used "idle 60" to close the connection after a minute; "holdoff 3" probably isn't needed.

Does it mean you don't use /etc/ppp/options i.e. didn't modify these, so that it only gets arguments from the commandline? Also you don't need to do the echo and modify the defaultroute?

You can add the options to /etc/ppp/options if you prefer.  I haven't changed /etc/ppp/options (I will, one day, so that ifup works).

The defaultroute option causes pppd to set the default route, so you don't need to do that.  You do need to set ip_dynaddr though.

Need TUN-Module

I just tried to log into my universitys cisco secured network using vpnc, but I miss the TUN-Module.
Just if anybody builds a new kernel, it would be very nice if it had a tun module.

EDIT: Just build myself a kernel featuring tun module using this howto: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/UniversalKernel;
works fine. I could write that there should be some work on that kernel, but everybody who tried to use wifi and had problems knows that

Thanks for your help, but it worked with datathiefs´explanations (maybe they should be added to the wiki..).
I don´t remember the error, wasn´t a catchy one.

something about errors on ICEWM installation.. xserver-kdrive-fbdev gives error when you install it with other packages.. when you install it alone it's OK.. When you install x-yonggun package it says that there is no package called xbindkeys and after that it stop.. When you try to install it the xbindkeys packega it says that the you must download otherpackages or something like that.. When you try apt-get -f install (I think it was like this  ) it will be doing something with indenpency and after that it gives you an error (some like the ftp servers are temporary unavailable) and it will not install the xbindkeys package.. I tried this two times (i format my sd and make everything from beginning) and I never installed iceWM.. Is there someone who can help me?

What does your /etc/apt/sources.list file say? Did you do apt-get update and upgrade before installing X?

[size=]UPDATE[/size][/b]

We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to let you know that ArchiMark just received today his 4800 mAh battery and it is now charging up.....

Holey Moley, this is one bad mothuh*#$%@^& battery!!!!!

 

By that I mean that it is very THICK!, such that it comes with a custom battery cover to accommodate the extra battery thickness....so it must have some serious juice to it.....

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.....

Questions

1. Over at xda-developers.com forum there is talk about doubling HTC Universal RAM from 64 to 128MB. Doesn't look like a do-it-yourselfer job....

Wondering if this would upgrade would make a significant difference in HTC performance using Debian?

2. Is there any reason to upgrade ROM from WM5 to WM6 if you're mainly using HTC Uni for running Debian? Wouldn't think there would be, but just thought I'd ask since this upgrade is available over at xda-developers...

Thanks.

Well, it is definitely great for Windows Mobile users - as you have to quit applications via settings menu, Universal becomes slow there quite soon.

I heard about prices for that around 180$ (in Germany), so it isn't that cheap. That's why I just have a 128MB swap on my 2GB SD.

Running GPE there are only few MBs of Ram free, so it could improve your performance while using X.

If any have instaled Debian on you  SD-card whith X (ICEWM or other X interface) please .tar you SD-card contains and share that arhive. Please... Please Y whill bles you forever
I m verry interested to run Debian whit X in my HTC uni
I hope some result

If you get IceWM installed, you will need to install applications  -  which will have dependencies, and you will have the same problems.

Debian depends on an internet connection.  You may be able to get a USB network connection in Windows using a combination of the instructions at http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/usbnet and http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Mo...ips/USB_Network  -  I don't have Windows, so I can't test this.

Thx Thx Thx. datathief Whith your specifications i make conections to internet whith my HCT and Windows PC. I use file Linux.inf and sharing default conection to install Remote NDIS USB Driver, After that in HCT i create the network interface and everithing works fine  i install and upgrate via apt-get and all from here: http://sumoudou.org/uni/vebu/yonggun.html
Finaly i started ICEWM whith #startx and debian started whit graphic interface....
But    I steel some problems: Touchscreen not work
Comand #ts_calibrate not work This is the result: #ts_open: No such file or directory I have already installed tslib-calibrate and tslib-conf
Haw can i do  

[datathief]

I've added some alarm stuff to the wiki here.  This is the only thing I still rely on my other phone for.

I've also uploaded new whiptail, calllog and smsmbox scripts that can use a caller-ID "helper" script to look up names.  A "beta" version of htcunid should be available in a couple of days, and then I'm going to work on a whiptail UI for dialling and SMS.  The console-based UI will be finished then, I think.

It should be trivial to port the whiptail UI to zenity or gtkdialog or something, and quickly have an X-based UI.

Titchy had XFCE4 as standard, but apt-get install xfce4 wants to install 342MB of stuff in Debian Lenny  -  much more than in Etch.  Can anyone suggest a new default window manager?

The packages you're using were created for a Zaurus, which has the touchscreen device in a different place.  See here for a possible fix.

I'm wondering, is it really a good idea to save the caller ID in the SMS mbox file? I.e. shouldn't just the plain ID data be saved, thus only the number, and then let other interface scripts, which presumably will be developed to handle the caller ID when displaying the data. For instance I'm developing the history SMS display update to the keitai package for emacs, which should in my thinking just interface to plain vanilla SMS log, and then do the fancy stuff of displaying the callers name, his organization, the date in a fancy format etc. But it seems that these details shouldn't be saved to the file.

Is there any good reason to incorporate it into the mbox file saved?
