Re: restoring Sharp's datebook and addressbook (deleted by thekompany)

Greg,

Oops. Sorry. Forgot about that bit. qcop commands must be run as the
'zaurus' user. So if you're still running as root in the terminal, type
exit to get back to the zaurus user and run those qcop commands. They're
only there instead of restarting Qtopia. Everything else seems to have
worked.

You won't find a datebook or addressbook binary in the ROM because the
builtin Sharp apps all use QuickExec to speed up execution. QuickExec keeps
running in the background and keeps common parts of all apps loaded in
memory. When a QuickExec app is launched, it simply loads the application
library from /home/QtPalmtop/binlib for all the application specific code
to execute. This is different to Fast Load. Fast Load keeps the entirety of
an app running in the background.

Regards,

Colin

Thanks for the follow up, Colin. I restored the backup from this morning
and
tried this again.
http://makeashorterlink.com/?B5D821A26
has everything posted with no line breaks.

Still, I hit a snag in the next to the last line:

> su (enter the root password, which is the passcode, if it asks)
# prompt
> cd /home/QtPalmtop/bin
> ln -sf ./quickexec datebook
> ln -sf ./quickexec addressbook
> cd /
> tar xvf /root/.home_default.tar
home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/datebook.desktop
line output  # home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/datebook.desktop
> tar xvf /root/.home_default.tar
home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/addressbook.desktop
line output  # home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/addressbook.desktop
> qcop QPE/System 'linkChanged(QString)'

Qt/Embedded data directory is not owned by user ()

What should I do from here?

> qcop QPE/System 'updateMenu()'
>
> Then the Sharp Datebook and Addressbook should appear on the Applications
tab and Q menu.
