I finally had time to give Qtopia a try. To my disappointment, I encountered some problems while trying to run applications, for example any demo provided in the installation package..

I have downloaded and installed qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.1.3 on my Kubuntu Dapper. I followed the instructions for Installing Qtopia Core. Framebuffer test passes fine and everything seems ok to me.

The next step i took was trying launching an example to see everything works as expected. Again, I followed the instructions provided.

jp@jaber:~$ cd /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.1.3/demos/textedit/
jp@jaber:/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.1.3/demos/textedit$ ./textedit -qws
Creating mouse "Auto"
Cannot open keyboard: Permission denied

jp@jaber:/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.1.3/demos/textedit$ sudo ./textedit -qws
Password:
Qtopia Core data directory is not owned by user 0
jp@jaber:/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.1.3/demos/textedit$
The problem seems to be same than for example this:
Keyboard and mouse problem with Qtopia-Core-4.1.0

I haven't been able to find any answers to this, am I doing something wrong?
