Herc: could you say how you got your linux box to share internet?

1- you plug your GP and start it.
2-run usbnet_on script
3-under linux open a terminal as root and type:

Code: 
ifconfig usb0 "your_ip" netmask "your_network_mask" broadcast "your_broadcast_domain" up

4-if you want to activate the sharing connection type:

Code: 
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipatbles -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s "your_usb_source_network" -o eth0 -J MASQUERADE

Bye

Herc. :ph34r:

You'll want ZUC, it's a good converter app, and ntpdate if you can find it anywhere.

List of stuff I've shoved in mine (no games yet, need recommendations):
ntpdate
ZUC
OpieFTP
Flite (text-to-speech thingy)
KMerlin (MSN)
KeyPebble (VNC)
Icons for everything! (well, not quite, as I'm not a good enough artist to actually MAKE some)

If there's anything else people would like, say so.

Some kind of writer and/or an editor ?

There's already a text editor in it, and I'm including an HTML editor too.

does anybody know how i can contact NK?
i have some ideas for a new version...
several apps only work in 240x320 mode.. but the text is corrupted in this mode and needs to be fixed. it would be also much better if you can control the cursor with the abxy buttons in 240x320 mod... would be much more useable.

If someone can think of a good interface, what about a newsreader?
Would it be possible to change to a higher resolution when connected to the TV so you get a much larger workspace?
 
yes this should be possible.. qtopia works in 640x480 on the newer zaurus systems... and i think the 240x320 apps still work...
 
Here are the programs I tried and their results:

Tx Image Viewer = It takes a minute or more and then crashes when ran.
XMMS (X Multimedia System) = Its icon appears and dissappears in the running program(s) area.
Bomberman Clone = Same thing as the one above
ZImage = It works well
ImageBrowser = It can't open any images from the SD (this problem could apply to the one above also).
 
Whoops I'm blind, didn't even see the link to the zip. :rolleyes:

Okay it says in the readme to open the .IPK file in an archiver such as 7zip, but I have no idea where this file would be. I've never seen it before. I decompressed my .IMG file already.

when you run those apps from the terminal you can see why they crash...

bomberman needs sdl, and the sdl for the zaurus doesnt really work on the gp2x
tx image viewer, didnt start for me at all, gave me a error

where can i find xmms?

Can someone please help? I have tried installing 0308 normally, 0310 normally, the image supplied by hercule, I tried building one, and none of them will work. The GP2X just sits at a black screen forever. My Qtopia folder is named Qtopia, and it is in the root of the SD card. My Qtopia.gpu file reads as follows:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh

# setting QT/Qtopia env...
export LOGNAME=root
export HOME=/root
export QPEDIR=/opt/Qtopia
export QTDIR=$QPEDIR
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QPEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$QPEDIR/bin:$PATH
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO="USB GP2X"

# mount Qtopia image
modprobe cramfs.o
mkdir -p $QPEDIR
mount -t cramfs -o loop qtopia.img $QPEDIR

# prepare /tmp directory...
rm /tmp/qtembedded* -rf
chown root.root /tmp

# run...
cd $HOME
qpe-reorgfiles
qpe -qws

# umount
umount $QPEDIR

# terminated...
cd /usr/gp2x
exec ./gp2xmenu

I am learning to loathe Linux. :angry:

I'm glad, I'm not the only one. I've been scanning this post for days looking for someone who would actually provide a step by step response (like step one being 1.2.0 firmware installed) I've also been running and re-running the new releases and getting the same exact result you've been describing for the past 4-5 days. I feel like everyone else is enjoying recess and I'm stuck inside banging my head against the chalk board. I'm starting to wonder if this is an SD card brand type of issue although it wasn't an issue when doing the "regular" firmware upgrades.

The process of getting this running is not hard at all.

1. Download the file
2. Unzip it to the sd card, putting the .img file in the root of the card
3. After all files are put on, turn off unit, and turn back on and flash with new firmware.
4. Run QTopia.

This is all i did to get it running, and its all you should have to do as well.
 
I got Qtopia running, but when I run it, it tells me that there was an error in the startup procedure and it has to run in safe mode. Here is my Qtopia.gpu file, followed by an error log.

Code: 
#!/bin/sh

# setting QT/Qtopia env...
export LOGNAME=root
export HOME=/mnt/sd
export QPEDIR=/mnt/sd/Qtopia/qt
export QTDIR=$QPEDIR
export SHARE=/mnt/sd/Qtopia/share
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QPEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$QPEDIR/bin:$PATH
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO="USB GP2X"
export QWS_KEYBOARD="TTY GP2X"

# mount Qtopia image
modprobe zlib_inflate.o
modprobe cramfs.o
mkdir -p $QPEDIR
mount -t cramfs -o loop qtopia.img $QPEDIR
mkdir -p $SHARE
mount -t cramfs -o loop share.img $SHARE

# prepare /tmp directory...
rm /tmp/qtembedded* -rf
chown root.root /tmp

# run...
cd $HOME
qpe-reorgfiles
qpe -qws

# umount
umount $QPEDIR
umount $SHARE

# terminated...
cd /usr/gp2x
exec ./gp2xmenu

Any solutions?

EDIT: Ok now it starts normally, but my cursor doesn't work... I didn't change anything except for install a few things, which worked earlier. This is the most bizarre app I've ever used in my life. :blink:
