Watapon ROM

[Chaos]

Webpage updated.

Feed partially updated. I'll be doing some more work on the feed over the next two weeks, when I get the chance to SSH into my machine at home (I'm going to be on vacation ).

Thanks Chaos for all your work on this ROM!  

I have installed 1.6 but am having trouble syncing with the KDE PIM.  From the PC everything looks great, and the sync seems to work, says items are sent,  but on the Zaurus, nothing shows up in Ko/Pi or or KA/Pi.  I try to use the sync to Sharp DTM in Ko/Pi, but that seems to do nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?  Anyone else having the same results?

Thanks!

having a problem with my linksys WCF12 card ...

I updated to the 1.6 ROM ... formated and flashed anew ::: But whenI put in my CF wireless card it isn't showing me the network applett.

ifconfig shows nothing
iwconfig shows etho has no wifi extensions.

cardctl status shows the card is suspended
cardctl resume flashes the light for 1/2 a second, then it goes back into suspend immediatly
cardctl reset doesn't change anything

i checked /etc/wlang-ng.conf and it's got the correct settings there for my card.
System app shows that the prism2_cs and prism drivers have been loaded.

Very very strange :::   Anyone know why this might be happening? The card worked fine before I updated the ROM. . Anyone else have this problem?

I found that kopi needs to have another package to get the Sharp DTM to work.  The executable that it tries to use is called "db2file", but I couldn't find it anywhere on the net.  I did however find that there is a package called "zdbat" that you can install and then rename zdbat as db2file and the calendar sync then works.

You can get zdbat from:

http://tbox.jpn.org/wiki/linuzau/wiki.cgi?zdbat

This appears to be web page from Japan, but there are download links near to bottom.  Alternatively, you can do a google search for zdbat.

Once you install the package, you'll need to get a shell on the Zaurus, cd to /home/QtPalmtop/bin, and run "ln -s zdbat db2file".

I still haven't figured out how to get anything other than the Calendar sync'ed with Windows and Outlook yet.

Of course now you have to sync with the PC and then you have to tell KO/PI to sync with DTM.  Too bad we couldn't get back to a one step process.  At the moment, the greatly improved KO/PI interface over the builtin calendar justifies the extra work...

Yep, it was useful - thanx.  Downloaded libssl0.9.7b from killdefiz.

I started repacking some of the programs I use the most. Some software that gave me issues installing on Watapon, They "should" install and operate seamlessly now. I have also included some of the offical repacks done by chaos. Most of the repacks are nothing more than a cleaner version of the original so they integrate with watapon nicer, while a few I created from scratch to make life easy.

My "Unoffical" Watapon Feed is at
http://www.nayr.net/zaurus/feed

I havent tested every singe repack as of right now but I will later tonight. If there isint a repack then the original installs perfectly with no need for modification, forward any comments or problems to my email..

I have created packages for the missing db2file, the missing libssl, a fixed version of rotate, and best of all is nano and libncurses5 packages amongst other things

My mistake. I forgot the SSL libs. They're added in 1.6.1, which should finish uploading in 5 minutes. I'll upload the webpage with the updated links then.

Cool! I'll have to look at those! I'll probably add a link on Watapon's page when I get back home in early April.

Edit: You appear to be after my job!  Many thanks, you've saved me much work, especially on the kino2 and mplayer repacks. Thank you very much.

You have added a network connection in the Network Settings program, right? The network applet won't appear until you have. And the network applet is now in the subapplet tray, to save space.

[dreadlocks]

nice, I updated the project on elsi..

if you have room may I suggest adding qpesearch and the brigtness applet to the next rom image (both are in my feed)

and some ideas for when you fork off 1.7..
  hostap instead of wlan-ng?, without hostap I cant connect to the WPA encrypted wlan @ work.
  5600 special kernel v1.3 from zug, (wireless extentions and overclocking)
 
Im not after your job... Not yet anywase :-P  But if you do have anything on your to-do list relating to software dev let me know.. Soon I plan on getting a dev environment working so I can compile some tools for Watapon (like zethereal, python-libgmail & gmailfs). Feel free to link my feed or steal some of my repacks.

Hi,

 I newbie at Zaurus World. A few days ago I test OZ 3.5.3 at my poodle and I had many problems cos Sharp Camera not works, mplayer play divx files so slowly...

Today I flash to Watapon 1.6.1 and I very very surprised. All that things runs perfect!!! Thanks Chaos for this ROM and Thank dreadlocks for feed.

I wish help you! But I don't know how.

On the other hand, I have a question for you cos at OZ I get a script to move root filesystem to SD Card. How can I solve storage problems at Watapon? Can I install all the new packeges at SD Card without problems.

Thanks.

You should be able to install most (all?) ipks to the SD card.

There is no way to make / or /home on the SD, not without heavy work. It's not worth it, in my opinion.
