Cacko Rom 1.22 Is Available!
« Reply #60 on: January 03, 2005, 04:55:45 pm »
I have still not been able to get my wlan card to work. While it works on stock sharp rom, cacko 1.21 tkc and pdaXrom, it refuses to work with 1.22. Is there a way to use the wlan drivers from 1.21 with the new release? I really would like not to go back.

thanks
chris

1. the included libSDL does not work on
my C860(seeems to be for 5x00). I installed the Cxx0 version
from zports.sf.net - that works fine
for crimson fields on C series.

Actualy it does work, but it may need some additional parameters. Look this page for more info (in Japanese):

2. Deactivating the liblusscreensaver.so from the applet causes my C760 to restart (reproducable).

Thanks.

3. A friend of mine said that Elena stopped charging when the battery is full again - Lisa seems to charge all the time...

Interesting. We'll look into that.

Not to sound like an asshole (I hope I don't), but a little bit of QA and testing might do 1.23 a lot of good. It's really too bad so many people have troubles when upgrading.
I've tested a WMV2 video today and it didn't work either (just got a green screen).
Apart from a couple of quirks, 1.22 really is lots of fun
I still don't like the screen saver config in the taskbar, for example, and the lack of integration in the screensaver/power configuration tools. I'll test the wireless with my card and report on that too.

Hi Anton,

in the meantime I resumed my C760 and after a short time the display swirched off(into totally black).
The LEDs still were on (charging + new email) but no key could switch the LCD on.

Power off worked but Power on again resulted in the same situation.

So I did a battery-out-restart.

The date-time applet came up and after pressing OK - the same situation - LCD black again.

So I don't know to get around this without reflashing to Lisa or perhaps 1.21b again...

If you could send me any hints how to get more debugging/crash info I could post it here or
post it to you.

Regards,
Uwe

Hi again,

I got it! It seems that charging is
somehow corrupt.
Though my C760 was charged the whole
night it switched off as described above (when powered by battery).
When I put him on AC everything works again. And I'm quite sure my battery is
working well.

So after the whole night charging it
seems for me that the battery isn't
charged at all  

Regards,
Uwe

Hoi Uwe,
I had this Problem too (and also earlier with 1.21b). I assume that you run only on battery if the screen is dark?
The problem is, that in powersave-mode the screen is switched off instatnly (instead of going darker after 15 seconds). The solution is easy, just start to charge the Z. On external power the screen is switched on again and you can change the light settings (just change the time for dimming the screen in battery mode).
I hope that helps, Georg

Here are my experiences (bugs) with 1.22 on my C860

1. The battery charging light is always on when on ac power (even after 8 hours). The battery doesnt seem to charge very well.
2. The wallpaper is quite difficult to remove. I had to edit ~/Settings/Launcher.conf to do this. Wallpaper returns after going to appearance app.
3. The ncurses problem was fixed by symlinking libncurses.so.4 to libcurses.so.5 from ZSI.
4. Not related much to cacko but netfront doesnt send the wntire text when replying to a post in ZUG.


hope this helps

Hi all,

Maslovsky, Thanks for this peace of art. I've followed the installation procedure and everything is working well (Symbol Wireless card, CF and SD memory cards, even the FTP server!).

Just one comment; the version for tinylogin is 1.2 and not 1.4 as specified in the release notes. Version 1.2 has a known bug while creating a new user (I'm sure you're aware).

Best Regards,

Juan

Hi,
i've got to report a weird thing.
While trying to tweak Kino2 preferences, the screen literally freezes. The Menu-Item "Preferences" is highlighted and stays that way, no matter what i try.
Ko/pi, wich is bound to calendar hard key, seems to start up. At least it's icon appears in the taskbar, but there seem to be no way to get it in Front. Apparently the only response to screen-taps is, that backlight brightens up.
This situation turned up twice now, so it seems to be reproducable, yet unpredictable. I don't think, that any specific settings are responsible, but it only happend, when subsequently altering different settings after respective trial.

Up to now, i couldn't find a way around reboot, is there any?

Apart from that, i'm really happy with 1.22. Even my BT-Card was instantly recocgnized and works like a charm.

Thanks a lot.

I flashed the new Cacko on my C750 today. It looks very nice.

But I have the following problem. Since I don't have internet access with my Z I downloaded the packages with my PC and copied the packages to the cf card.
But I can't install via the GUI (ipkg said something went wrong). At the console I get the message:
'The following package were previously requested but have not been installed: error
Install them now [Y/n]?'

If I say 'Yes' there are Errors that some File was not found (/usr/lib/ipkg/lists/Cacko) and it tries to connect to cacko.biz/cacko/feed.
If I say 'No' then it also can't find the /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/Cacko but installs the package.

Since I'm not that expert with the console I would like to be able to install  with the GUI.

Can anyone help?

I've had the same thing, using the keyboard shortcuts for brightness up fixed it. Still an issue, especially when using in in Palmtop mode.

So it definitely was NOT caused by Lisa /Cacko 1.22 !! 
Going from the previous cacko experience, this will probably be solved int the hotfix. It's just an erronous default setting.

RFE: add an option in the finder to look from the root, in addition to the /home/zaurus/Documents, /mnt/card/ and /mnt/cf:)
I also emailed the webmaster a couple of spelling errors I found on the Kino page.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi again,

@Georg / Hakkikkt:
Many thanks for the hint - the problem really was the settings on
Dimming the LCD in battery mode.

So it definitely was NOT caused by Lisa /Cacko 1.22 !!

Uwe

Well I wish I had a QA department   With current set of resources we'd never had a release if we kept on testing and even then we wouldn't find all the problems... Alas, but we're doing the work that Sharp (a huge corporation) should have done.

Regarding WMV and WMA - it's not very well supported by mplayer, so don't bother trying to play them...

If you don;t like the screensaver applet, just disable it and foget it, everything works even without the screensaver

Very strange. I remember updating tinylogin to version 1.4. I must have somehow got older binaries back into the ROM source...

Delete /usr/lib/ipkg folder and also similar folders from CF and SD cards. That should help with those error messages and GUI Package Manager will be able to install packages.
