Debian with Xqt

[unplug]

Should be

Code: [Select]

umountnot uumount
You can use

Code: [Select]

make.ext2 /dev/mmcda1 (mine is 6k)to format your sd card.

You can use

Code: [Select]

mountto see where /mnt/card is mount from and format it.

good luck

OK, managed to get through most of Debian install instructions per those in the PocketWorkstationXQT-Debian Wiki, dated Jan. 7, 2005....
<http://wiki.debian.net/?PocketWorkstationXQT>

I've gotten as far as the 'Final Setup Procedures' section, step no. 6....

I've stopped where it says just under that step 'You can remove the debroot/INSTALL.d file since it wasn't used anyways'.

The reason I've stopped here is that in the other X-qt-Debian instructions by smuelas on his webpage <http://w3.mecanica.upm.es/~smuelas/debianxqt.html> he says to follow the instructions by Klaus UNTIL the instruction "./debroot/INSTALL.d/postinst.sh".

However, I don't see that step listed in the PocketWorkstationXQT instructions that I've been using...

So...my question is, do I continue and follow the rest of the PocketWorkstationXQT-Debian Wiki instructions or ?

Thanks for any help!

if you plan to use only xqt, then , no you don't need anything in INSTALL.d imho. I'd have a loock at the pocketworkstation docs and maybe shoot a note to klauss, though.
the fbvnc stuff is upadted... if it works on your  3k it might be woth looking at-- itis pretty cool, and with the shared memory setup might be snappier than xqt.  The xqt setup is pretty slick, though , so if youa re just dying to get going, untar to debroot, setup xqt and chroot away:)

[ArchiMark]

Thanks for your input, adf....

However, as a Linux Noob, I'm not real sure what you mean by:

if you plan to use only xqt, then , no you don't need anything in INSTALL.d imho.

How does this relate to running Debian in this setup??

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm in the process of learning Linux and trying to use my Z to help me along the way with my self-learning studying with some Linux books I have....  

Hopefully, my dumb questions will help some other 'Z noobs' out there...

Thanks,

Mark

keep in mind I have a 6000-- 3000 might do some diferent stuff... BUT, the basics should be the same.

INSTALL.d has setup scripts that setup the pocketworkstation fbvncserver/client and tie in to the sharprom setup for stuff like power management when you are in the pocketworkstation vnc

If you are using the xqt setup, then you won't need or use (right now anyway) the vnc stuff, nor will you require system integration scripts to be run, because you are already in your Qtopia system when you are using xqt. It simplifies things in this regard.

So.. don't bother doing the pocketworkstation setup stuff.. skip doing INSTALL.d/postinst.sh.

I find it helps to copy my /ect.resolv.conf to /debroot/etc/resolv.conf.  your mileage may vary.

THANKS A LOT, adf for clarifying this!

Now I get it....  

Really appreciate it!....

welcome.

Sorry, but a few more questions....

1) I do see the StartX and X/Qt Server icons in my Qtopia Applications tab. I can open up StartX OK and I get the terminal window after a short wait. However, my shift key doesn't work....  

I assume this relates to the keymap file...

When I typed in Sharp Terminal window:

Code: [Select]

#xmodmap .xmodmaprc
xmodmap: unable to open display ' '
Any suggestions how to get this working properly??


2) In the PocketWorkstationXQT - DebianWiki Instructions, under the heading 'You're Done!', it says "Click on the PocketWorkstation icon under your Applications tab".

I don't see any PocketWorkstation icon. Should I see one there?

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks,

Mark

I always used rxvt -the terminal that comes up in X- to type
xmodmap path-to/.xmodmaprc
export DISPLAY=0:0

do it in rxvt (or xterm) and see how it comes out

[ArchiMark]

Thanks, adf...

Just tried that, but since my '/' key doesn't work, I can't type any paths in that window....

So here's what I tried (I'm working in directory where '.xmodmaprc' resides):

Code: [Select]

#xmodmap .xmodmaprc
xmodmap: unable to open file '.xmodmaprc' for reading
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
Sounds like permissions problem???

Checked file and it shows:

Code: [Select]

-rwxrwxrwx  1  root   root   3076 Apr 19 08:20 .xmodmap.txt
Any ideas??

Also, what about my other question...should I see icon for PocketWorkstation in Applications tab??

Thanks!

Mark

[adf]

Yeah.... you need xmodmap to get the right keys in rxvt so you can make it all work....

use rxvt
do su

use the virtual keyboard to enter stuff till you have loaded the new keymap.

I should have mentioned su and the virtual keyboard, sorry

[ArchiMark]

Thanks again, adf!

Don't know why I didn't think of using virtual keyboard....  

Meanwhile, just tried as you suggested but still get same error message
"xmodmap: unable to open file '.xmodmaprc for reading
 xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting."

Any other suggestions???

Thanks,

Mark

download a new copy of xmodmaprc

maybe do
chmod 777  "path-to"/xmodmaprc
?

tell rxvt the fullpath to xmodmaprc when you do xmodmap

chroot after you do xmodmap..or put xmodmap in debroot/someplace

[ArchiMark]

Thanks, adf.....

Will try this later today when I can download file again & report back...

Thanks!
