OZ 3.5.1pre1 + GPE testing

[omro]

Is there a way to put the quick bits back on the ROM and the slow bits and storage on the SD card?

[lardman]

I suppose so, or you could put infrequently used parts on SD and the rest on the ROM. Symlink fun

I'm working pretty hard on getting various bits and pieces up to scratch in OE before release, so there won't be any more 'preview' releases before the actual OZ release.

Here are a few changes I've made since the last lot I mentioned:
-Update all matchbox-related packages to the latest versions (gives a slight speed-boost, probably fixes some bugs)
-Remove gpe-timesheet from the base image
-Add matchbox-panel-manager to the base image
-Add gpe-games to OE (gpe-go, gpe-lights, gpe-othello and gpe-tetris)
-Update libgtkstylus and libgpevtype

And a few changes I'm working on:
-Get gpe-nmf working completely correctly (it plays songs at the moment, but doesn't display elapsed time/song-length and doesn't progress to the next song when one finishes)
-Get minilite to stop acting funny in the panel
-Fix rxvt-unicode to use a decent font (not started)
-Get screen dimming/auto-shut-off working (not started)

Given that I don't even have 24 hours left to do this, not all the changes I'm working on will make it (especially the last two) - If they don't, I'll carry on working on it for the next release and I guess I'll carry on release preview images

will oz 3.5.1pre1 sunc with outlook and win xp?

[Cwiiis]

With the opie-image, possibly, with the gpe-image, no. At least, not as far as I know anyway.

I installed it. It's very nice. However, there's no fdisk, and I need to re-partition my CF card to install more programs... How can I do that?

[lardman]

Install it from one of the OZ 3.3.6pre1 feeds - fdisk is command line, so it doesn't matter whether you're running Opie or GPE on top.

I'll do that. Thanks for the info.

I'm having a really annoying problem: the keyboard window does not open. Therefore, I can't input anything while my zaurus is connected to the cradle. I can't upgrade the packages and so on...
I'd like to reboot my zaurus, but there's no reboo, halt nor shutdpwn command!!!  

[oxstone]

That's probably a bug: I logged out. Then, there's only the keyboard layout displayed. I can't login anymore, I have to reboot.

Ouch!!! The same happened after a reboot! I'll have to reflash!  
That problem happened after I changed the owner information.

I just had the same issue - after changing owner info, and specifying that it should be shown on the login screen, I then logged out and could not log in again. Needed a re-flash.

Loving the look and speed of GPE and OE... fantastic. Has given a new lease of life to my 5500...

Thanks,

Jeremy.

Thought i would dust off my 5500 and give GPE a try. (Been using a P900 for a few months and not really had any need to use the Z.

Really impressed by the speed and clean look of the interface.

Prior to me trying the new OZ 3.5.1, i was wondering if there is an email application available under GPE that support POP and IMAP?

[oxstone]

I found 2 other bugs:
- console (rxvt) closes when executing a simple ls. It does not happens each time. I'd say it depends of the contents of the directory one tries to display.
- the zaurus isn't recognized by my desktop. I don't manage to establish a connection between my zaurus and my desktop each time I try.

[oxstone]

Another bug: /etc/resolv.conf contents is quite strange! It indicates a file as a nameserver address.

I'd have liked to get a feed URL in /etc/ipkg.conf instead of having to write it by myself (I'm a bit lazy!   )

I can't find the image(s) mentioned at the start of this thread. Is it about to be released?!
