Syncing the Zaurus 5500 with USB and Suse 9.1 Linux

You can download Qtopia Desktop Suse8.2 for Linux from Trolltech the current version is 1.7.0

http://www.trolltech.com/download/qtopia/index.html

Download the RPM file and install with YAST.
Create Icon on the desktop, by right mouse clicking the desktop -

Create New > File > Link to Application > Browse for the file which will be /opt/Qtopia/bin/qtopiadesktop

Now click on the Icon, this will create the necessary files in your home directory

Instructions for SUSE 9.1 are:



Create a file in the /etc/sysconfig/network called ifcfg-usb0 with the following entries:


STARTMODE=hotplug
BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR=192.168.129.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.
PREFIXLEN=24


BROADCAST=192.168.129.255
REMOTE_IPADDR=192.168.129.201



Create a file in the /etc/sysconfig/network called ifroute-usb0 with the following entry:


route add -host 192.168.129.201 usb0


Set the timezone setting for Qtopia Desktop in ~.palmtopcenter/Settings.locale.conf

[Language]
[Location]
Timezone = America/Chicago

This would be the correct setting if you were in the CST/CDT timezone.  All of the timezones are listed on the Zaurus in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/


Assuming the hotplug daemon is running everything should work. Check - Control Center > Yast Modules > System > Runlevel Editor
