Re: [maemo-developers] extras repository

As for something real I would go with Murray and others: let's use
more components.

And in order to help developers and package maintainers, build-bots
would really help. I'm glad Carlos is taking care of it.



Well, I'm looking at that for sardine and herring, let's see what actually
can be done and how generally it can be applied to Maemo

[maemo-developers] Unresolved issues (Week 47)

2006-11-28 Thread Tommi Komulainen
I'm rather busy right now so I skimmed the list archives more quickly

 There have already been requests for the last three releases.  Is there

We discussed the question and above is the answer we have at the moment.

What I meant with the next release is that I'm going to consider the

helpful in practical terms, but better than complete silence. Which is
the purpose of this exercise.

Good time to bring up the question again is when we have updated our

proactively I'd suggest taking the opportunity after new software
releases. In case we don't address the issues otherwise.

Re: [maemo-developers] WMA streaming

  What are my options for Windows Media Audio streams on the 770? Most
  Internet radio streams (I mean simulcasts of real broadcasts in this
  sense) are offered in (at least) this format, which is supported by free
  software (ffmpeg) up to version 2, the latest version I've ever seen
  anywhere. However, no one seems to have had any luck with third-party
  codecs on this device, much less for streaming. Is this device powerful
  enough to handle decoding audio streams using C or ARM-assembly codecs
  (from ffmpeg)? It's likely that the bitstream would be 16 to 24 kbps. I
  understand free tools for the DSP aren't quite there yet, so that may not
  be an option.

 FFmpeg library contains WMA decoder and MPlayer supports it at least on
 x86 desktop PC. There are some problems with its support on ARM though.

 First and the most easy to fix is that WMA decoder seems to have some
 alignment problems, so it crashes on any attempt to play WMA files. This is
 quite easy to workaround by running 'echo 3  /proc/cpu/alignment' as root,
 see https://maemo.org/maemowiki/PortingFromX86ToARM and the links at it
 for more information.

 A major problem with WMA decoder is that it uses floating point math. And
 having no FPU in hardware, Nokia 770 does not seem to be able to decode
 128kbps WMA files to play them in realtime (sound is skippy). So it is not
 very useful unless somebody finds (or implements) a fixed point WMA
 decoder.

 However I also tested 20kbps WMA sample and it worked fine with CPU load
 at about 60%. So if anybody would like to have such low bitrate WMA
 files/streams supported, I can have a look at these alignment problems, fix
 them and release updated version of MPlayer for everyone to use.

Well, the latest maemo build of MPlayer now supports WMA audio (with that
extremely inefficient cpu usage and unability to play high bitrates). But it
can play internet radio streams, for example running the following works:

# mplayer mms://wm05.nm.cbc.ca/cbcr1-calgary-low

On the other hand, standard audio player seems to support WMA files playback
just fine :) Does it have problems with internet radio?  Or you just tried to
look for free alternatives? What was the reason for asking this WMA
streaming question in the first place?

[maemo-developers] Upgrading maemo launcher

2006-11-28 Thread Rainer Dorsch
Hello,

I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade this morning. I saw the 
maemo-launcher is supposed to be upgraded. I stopped there, because I vaguely 
remember that this broke some time ago the Nokia 770 and brought it in 
continous reboot cycles.

Is this upgrade now safe?

   2. Autobuilders build binary packages for each repository and send

The buildd does not send any mail, that's the job of the buildd
admin, which checks the logs and files appropriate bug reports, or
requeues the build if it was a transient failiure, or sets Dep-Waits

 Even if there are no autobuilders I would still want to enforce the

That'd be good, yes.

To be safe, I suggest disabling the rebooting first with the flasher:
'flasher --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset'. Then
reboot manually after upgrading.

Well, mistral/scirocco is supposed to be used for development only, so
upgrading from device is not so kinda right

 Is this upgrade now safe?
However, if you have Image week39-2006, then updating the maemo-launcher
from scirocco will reboot device once. It's safe. I've tested it :)
Since scirocco  mistral have the same maemo-launcher version, i'd see

Well, could you at leash kick the windows flasher team to make advanced 
 flasher like the linux or macos one? Thank you. See also

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/4409?search_string=windows%20flasher%20;#4409

It would help people with windows based machines using colinux or qemu 
for development. While I have both kernel and initfs flasher running on 
device now I'm still missing functionality like

- load kernel to ram
- set various flags

Or better really release the protocol or flasher source with 
coldflashing code removed. 'lack of interest to reveal the protocol' 
seems like no showstopper. Or is it?

RE: [maemo-developers] re-evaluating the handwriting input method - butthere's a problem

2006-11-28 Thread xun.chen
There is a small hidden trick to manage upper or lower case in HWR. If
you wrote a letter, say 'h', but you had wanted it to be uppercase 'H',
you just rewrite 'h' or 'H' at the same place of printed 'h' in HWR area
- the 'h' will be updated to 'H', no matter 'h' or 'H' you write later.
Means you wrote 'h' twice at same position, the case will be corrected.
The same rule valid for 'H' and all other letters.

Subject: [maemo-developers] re-evaluating the handwriting 
input method - butthere's a problem

Today, I've tried the handwriting input method. Oh what a 
mess, as the other times I've tried it. So, in the handwriting 
teaching app I have decided to disable *all* the symbols for 
*all* the chars (in my western charset), then I've created 
just one custom symbol for each lowercase letter and for 
numbers. Yes it's a hard work, it took me about 20 minutes.

And surprise... it works like a charm! I can write at very 
high speed with very low error rate without having ever used a 
handwriting input system; I've only tried sometimes this one 
provided with 770, but the screen keyboard was faster and 
accurate so I've soon abandoned it.

Now, with that trick, even with this first try it is way 
better than the screen keyboard. But, there is a problem, 
which I suppose could be easily solved, so the reason for this mail:

sometimes, I need to write capital letters, of course. I don't 
want to define them as symbols, because they easily interfere 
with other ones, this is something to definetely avoid. But, 
the solution is simple: there should be a caps-lock button 
in the handwriting input application! I will continue to use 
my lowercase symbols, but with the caps-lock enabled they will 
be considered as capitals. Smooth and easy, isn't it?

Can I hope this will be added in next firmware update? Just a 
little button, would improve the usability of the entire 
device a lot. I suggest this for everyone: use just ONE symbol 
for a character, and define symbols for as little chars as 
possible - this way the error rate is zero or really low, and 
you can handwrite 90% of the stuff you need to (supposing we 
have the caps-lock button improvement, otherwise the 
percentage falls down). Try it, if you ususally use the 
on-screen keyboard: it's not that bad with this trick.

Re: [maemo-developers] extras repository

2006-11-28 Thread Levi Bard

I know there is good reason for that (so everybody can rebuild it) but
this puts additional burden to package maintainers. I just uploaded
scummvm binary deb but have to remove it if this is requirement. I don't
have time to package also tremor, libmad and limbpeg so you can rebuild
it properly. Also scummvm build process currently crashes with internal
compiler error in Kyrandia engine and one file must be build with
different compiler flags by hand. I know this is specific issue (which
will probably go away with next compiler) but still there are the
dependencies and others may have other reasons why rebuilding directly
from source doesn't work or isn't easy.


I have a similar issue with xmame.  It relies on semi-extensive
makefile customization for each arch/cpu/set of prefs, and it would be
less than fun to script this for an automated build.

 just fine :) Does it have problems with internet radio?  Or you just tried to
 look for free alternatives? What was the reason for asking this WMA
 streaming question in the first place?

I was unaware that the standard audio player played WMA at all...I knew
it played RealPlayer streams but in the past I'd had problems with it. I
tried a few Real streams and they did seem to work...never tried the WMA
though.

Free alternatives are always better but if it works I suppose it is fine
for now. I wouldn't have asked if I knew that the standard audio player
did WMA.

[maemo-developers] joystick

Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

this might sound retarded/joke but this is not a joke. I am wondering is
anyone using 770 with a USB joystick? It could be possible in USB host
mode to actually use one if it takes very little power.

The reason I am asking this for is that especially if somebody has
actual use case with SDL and joystick. I am planning to remove joystick
support from SDL in maemo for now (the version will hit the sardine) and
possibly re-include it later.

libsigc++, glibmm, and gtkmm are already in extras. The packages just
need to be rebuilt for sardine. They need to be updated too to the
latest source versions, but we can take care of this, if you like.

  
The preferred way for the sardine robot is to build from source (tagged 
releases in SVN).
So, one or more projects in garage with the right source versions for 
these components would be ideal, pretty much like what already exists 
for hildon-fmmm and hildon-widgetsmm.

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: high speed (52/48Mhz) MMC mode added

2006-11-28 Thread Armin M. Warda
  Hi,

I booted the kernel from
http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/zImage-su-18-200639-2gb-mmcplus52mhz.zip

As expected, my MMC is being read 4x faster with this kernel, 
but unfortunately the device fails to connect to my WEP 128bit 
encrypted Netgear MR814v2 WLAN if I use this kernel. Thus I 
reverted to the default kernel, which has no such problem.

I repeated the test three times, the result was always reproduced.

  regards, Armin.

you may want to grab JamVM, or Kaffe first, and use them to run the build tools,

 If you have, pls kindly drop me line on the problems you've had or
 simply saying you have no problems at all. I'd really appreciate it

 I'm using it with 1.0.6 on Ubuntu Edgy, kernel 2.6.18 (known to break

I got 0.9.8 work on FC5, with 2.6.18 kernel when I added
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.6.9 often enough. No luck on FC6 though...


 Also, sb-menu is really neat and scripts seems to work far better. No

I've tried to get this work on Fedora Core 6. I can compile binaries,
but making debian package fails with following line:

full installation + debian package make test is available at

my wishlist to scratchbox developers:

1) make this work (or is there something I did wrong ?) (*)
2) update subversion to at least 1.3 so that svn log --limit=n works.

Ubuntu packages a much newer version (which I didn't use because the
binary is 20MB larger with little appreciable difference in
functionality), with which either the debian or the ubuntu maintainer
has endured the pain of scripting the build.

Huh, that's weird. wi-fi driver and 802.11 protocol is even not in 
kernel but in extra module. The only changes in that kernel are:

1 extended backlight control (patch on my site)
2 high speed mmc patch (on my site)
3 kernel has enabled crypto API (disabled in nokia build) for PPTP module

Any dmesg errors while connecting? Are you running correct IT2006 
version for the kernel (i.e. not running older 1.2006 with disabled 
lifeguard or watchdog by chance)? Are you booting otherwise same systems 
(preferably from flash)?


Works for me fine with WPA with Asus WL-500G deluxe.
Just also flashed that kernel and tried also ad-hoc WEP conection with 
my notebook and it works too.


I simply don't have any idea why it should affect wi-fi network at all 
except when possibly using with older IT2006 from July (so the cx3110x 
and umac modules cannot load) which normally causes reboot loop.
