iLiad Abiword - Page 2

Mambo · 04-20-2007, 02:01 PM

Would it be possible (me asking very shyly) to link the full refresh to a special key-combination (alt-enter, alt-tab) /etc. I kind of like regularly refresh the screen cca. every two minutes. This would be great and quite convenient...

To be honest, I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to start that. Perhaps someone else here would be able to.

The attached screenshot is a document I made in Microsoft Word 2003. It looks exactly the same in abiWord unmodified.

I'm attaching the package, but the program will not run in it's current form. You will need to do some modification to the root filesystem. As I don't want to touch it with a script, I'll leave this step up to you.

Code:

cp /mnt/cf/abiword/loaders/* /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

Once unbricking becomes available, I won't be so hesitant to touch the root filesystem and will most likely repackage all of my apps.

Compact Flash Version: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad.../abiwordcf.zip

Is the code two lines or one lines.
Maybe it is dangerous but I typed 2 lines, my iLiad acted strange.
And it does not work.

The iLiad hang, but seems to work after reset

That involves two things:

1) being able to recognize those key combinations
2) Whoever recognizes that combinations (contentlister, the application, ...), would have to do the appropriate call to the functions of liberdm to make a refresh (or communicate with libX11.so so that it can act on behalf of the application).

(1) would require the appropriate hooks into the app (I suppose that is the app who will recognize those), perhaps Adam could do this part

(2) is somewhat tricky. I don't know if two apps could communicate with liberdm using the same channel. And the alternative (that is communication with libX11.so) is not trivial :-/.

It would be better to make an icon in the matchbox-panel, but I have experience with those.

Has anybody else (except Adam B.) gotten Abiword working? I need help with that.

Adam B. · 04-25-2007, 09:24 AM

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you earlier.

You do need to run that command as 2 lines.

Type the following and let me know the output:

Code:

cd /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/
ls -la

ls -la

I tried that. It gives a lot of files (the right ones) with the the following attributes: -rwxr-xr-x

But Abiword still doesnot work from the CF card.

What error does it give when you try to run it?

I don't know, I do not use the iLiad through my PC. Just the iLiad.
Does it produce an error file somewhere?

BTW: after execiting the two lines by mxrt (I changed /mnt/cf/ to /media/cf this time) the iLiad acted strange (I had to hard-reset).

I've only run that from an ssh terminal....I don't know what effect it would have in mrxvt.

What command would you give to start abiword from the terminal?

Adam B. · 04-27-2007, 03:29 PM

./run.sh

"cd: 4: can't cd to .

when I do just "run.sh" it says: sh: run.sh: not found"

Maybe we can better e-mail about this.

Thanks for reading.

I looked at your run.sh file.
It says:

export DISPLAY=:0
export scriptdir=`/usr/bin/dirname $0`
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$scriptdir/lib
cd $scriptdir
./bin/abiword

I think I know understand a little bit more.

Adam B. · 04-27-2007, 03:58 PM

Do an `ls` in the abiword directory.

Then `cd bin`, and do an `ls` in the bin directory. It sounds like it can't find the abiword binary...

I did that. It is there.

Update:
I think I found it:

export DISPLAY=:0

export scriptdir=`/usr/bin/dirname $0` <<<<< This is the letter Oh, I changed it to zero, now it seems to work !!

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$scriptdir/lib
cd $scriptdir
./bin/abiword
