Slackware for Pandora 14.0

[Linux-SWAT]

Hmm, lsusb is not in /sbin/ but /usr/bin/

But otherwise I get: unable to initialize libusb: -99

Ok, so sudo

/sbin/iwlist

to make sure sudo is properly working.

Thank you Linux-SWAT for providing slackware on the pandora.  I got my pandora today, put slackware on and it is running beautifully. 

You're welcome :^).

/sbin/iwlist

Works fine. I get the 'Usage:' output for iwlist. But this also happens when I don't sudo


(I can also '/sbin/iwlist scan' without sudo, so I don't think this is reliable to check if sudo works )

 

[Linux-SWAT]

...

So:

sudo /usr/bin/pndrefresh.sh

And then? Still can't use the scripts from the GUI.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Was just to make sure sudo was ok.

Now, use xdg-open on /usr/share/applications/something_from_pnd.desktop

I get the same popup with 'Mounting the PND failed. The application wont start. Please have a look at /tmp/<script>.out'
For instance with the lcdsettings:

I would suggest you to reinstall SL4P, without changing the hostname (at first), then test.

Can't tell what's happening there...

Is your SD card Ext2-compatible ?

 

[dreamer]

I don't see why not. It's a kingston 16Gb.

Will try a re-install then :/


(But damnit, I want my own hostname!!!!)

 

[Linux-SWAT]

You will have ^^.

I am trying to make the "B" button in the x-y-a-b set map to "Tab".  I have put


keycode 115 = Tab End Tab End
in the ~/.pndXmodmap file.  Not sure this is what slackware uses for the keyboard, as it did not seem to change anything.  Reboot had no effect. 

Tried xkbset m and xkbset exp m also.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT:  solved

I don't know for sure what did it, tried quite a few things.  The last things I did before it started to work were to copy ~/.pndXmodmap to ~/.Xmodmap with the above line in the file, and to remove a comment that was right before the "keycode 115 . . ." line.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I think i left .pndXmodmap for compatibility reasons, but the one used by Slack is indeed .Xmodmap .

Glad you could make it.

I can confirm this error. After changing hostname via netconfig, i get the same errors while trying to launch a PND. Same after a new installation, every PND is working, but after the change of the hostname, same error again.

By the way: Great job Linux-SWAT! Thanks a lot for your work.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Thx.

Did you followed the wiki's procedure ?

[kyxh2o]

Thx.

Ah, of course i forgot the sudo-part, thx.

Where can i enable/disable startup-services like usb-host?

 

[dreamer]

For me I followed this guide too, but perhaps my former musings with sysctl messed things up already?

Btw, I used sed to change the sudoers file: ~$ sudo sed -i 's/darkstar/<newhostname>/g' /etc/sudoers

Somehow I'm reluctant to change it again since I don't want to re-install it yet again h34r:

 

[Linux-SWAT]

If it worked for kyxh2o...

Don't forget to verify/set the rights.

For services, you can chmod +x/-x in etc/rc.d/rc.* , and for usbhost:

Note that g_cdc is optional, and it seems better to load it with the new test kernel:

Hello
I'm traing boot SL4P from 3 days with wiki and I can't do this. I was doing this 5 times and nothing help.
My Pandora is 1GHz with Linux Release 1.53, SD card is Samsung 16GB, ext2 and swap.
What can I do?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

So ext2 or ext4 as in the PM ?

Which step is failing ?

 

[olbi]

Sorry, I was mistake with earlier mail It is ext2 partition. I was using even right trigger but it doesn't show and option for booting with SD.

I compiled " The Mana World" With Slackware,seem to work fine after install PhysFS and another Thing.

I will try to make a Video after the ingame Updates.

The Mana World is a Anime MMORPG for all Linux Users.

Touchscreen work fine,Music work Fine but i cannot get Fullscreen for now.

In the Moment is it Windowed.

but i am not able to make a PND with it.
