I'm flabbergasted!!

Jerry,

Sorry, my original post wasn't quite accurate, in the sense that the post I quoted didn't list all the necessary packages. I installed the following:

X/QT server
X/QT startup scripts
X/QT fonts misc
xlibs
xbase-etc
xbase-clients
gtk
gdk-pixbuf
glibc-locale-eucjp
glib-additional
blackbox

All these packages came from the X/QT download site - no additional libraries from pdaXrom or anywhere else.

I also installed aterm from the pdaXrom feed as an alternative to rxvt and adjusted /home/zaurus/.xinitrc to suit.

Hope this helps,

Mike.

Any errors?

I installed to RAM, not SD.

I did have to exit the firefox and run-mozilla scripts in /usr/lib/firefox and change the shell to bash from sh to fix a few problems.

[w14]

I have as much as possible installed to SD. Firefox came back with the "must be installed in internal memory" message ...

Mike.

w14- Thanks for the info, my system was so messy from all the installing and tweaking, I reflashed to a clean install and installed the ipks you listed to main memory. Of course I don't have much left in internal memory (cl-750) so I install firefox to SD. When I use the Package installer I too get the error message can't install. When I use the command line it installs without complaining. However, when I run it from xterm I get

Code: [Select]

# firefox
[: Out of space
[: Out of space

Gdk-Warning **: locale not supported by C library
#
I have also install the libgc ipk from x-qt, but it doesn't help.

On the bonus side, I have found that enabling a swap file seems to speed up x-qt significantly

Cheers,
Jerry

# firefox

[: Out of space

cd /usr/lib/firefox0.9gtk

change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in firefox and run-mozilla.sh

# firefox
[: Out of space
[: Out of space

cd /usr/lib/firefox0.9gtk

change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in firefox and run-mozilla.sh

datajerk, thanks for the tip. Hmm... not my day today I keep getting:

Code: [Select]

#./run-mozilla.sh
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute.I also changed the /bin/sh to bin/bash in the run-mozilla script too.

However, firefox did run, it took a long time to load the first time. Faster on succeeding runs. I've got the funky font problem mentioned in the pdaxrom thread. But now it's working I'll try the additional font ipks to see if they help.

Cheers,
Jerry

There are issues with Xqt .9 and fonts.  Try Xqt .8.

[jerrybme]

datajerk: My bad, turns out I hadn't installed the fonts-misc_1.0. like I thought I had. Once that was in, looks good. Thanks for your help.

Anybody figured out a better way to map the mouse buttons? I'm missing the toggle feature of pdaXrom, being a leftie holding down the Fn key while tapping is awkward!  

Cheers,
Jerry

Hello:

I see a number of users got it work, so it must work, but I can't get it to work. Can you help me figure out where the problem is? I want to run firefox on Cacko too...

I did a clean flash of Cacko 1.21, applied the service patch b.

Then installed the following apps in the following order:

xqt-fonts-misc_1.0.0_all.ipk
xqt-server_0.0.9_arm.ipk
glibc-locale-eucjp_2.2.5-2_arm.ipk
xbase-etc_4.3.0-2_arm.ipk
xlibs_4.3.0-2_arm.ipk
xqt-startup-scripts_0.0.2_arm.ipk
xbase-clients_4.3.0-2_arm.ipk
gtk_1.2.10.1_arm.ipk
gdk-pixbuf_0.22.0-2_arm.ipk
glib-additional_1.2.10-2_arm.ipk
blackbox_0.65.0.1_arm.ipk
aterm_0.4.2_armv5tel.ipk
firefox_0.9_armv5tel.ipk

Edited the .xinitrc to run aterm instead of rxvt.

Rebooted.

Then when I run XQt and try to run firefox, I get:

Code: [Select]

/usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directoryWhich is strange because libstdc++.so.5 is from PdaXrom, yet you say you didn't have to install any additional libs.

Anyhow, I tried:

Code: [Select]

cp libstdc++.so.5.0.5 /usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 /usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/libstdc++.so.5Then when I try to run firefox I get:

Code: [Select]

/usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9/libxpcom.so: symbol __floatsisf, version GCC_3.0 not defined in fil libgcc_s.so.1 with link time reference
Can you help me?

Thank you.

OK, I found out that I had to install firefox_0.9gtk_armv5tel.ipk

This is the package that works, not firefox_0.9_armv5tel.ipk

However, no I still don't see firefox. What happens is when I try to start it, there's no errors, there a wait for a while as if the prog is getting ready to run, and then I return to the prompt in aterm, without any Firefox window appearing and so.

What is the problem?

[ShiroiKuma]

OK, solved the problem, if anyone needs this info.

Didn't know this, but Firefox most be started as root in XQt, thus you first have to su then firefox runs OK...

[corecoder]

OK.
Where is this "firefox_0.9gtk_armv5tel.ipk"? I can't find it in the feeds. Am I too late? Did I miss the boat?

[lardman]

At a guess, one of the feeds on the pdaXrom web site:

http://www.pdaxrom.org


Si

[corecoder]

Yep, Looked there.
Looking for the 'gtk' one to run on Xqt. Oh well. Maybe I'm wasting my time. Does firefox for the z even work with Gmail? Thats my goal,anyway.

[corecoder]

Nevermind. Found it.
Yesterday wasn't my day to find anything.
thanks
