Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while playing back video? Can I do it in python? Right now I'm telling the backlight to turn on every 8 seconds or so, but even that doesn't really work (sometimes the display goes dim and then pops back). I don't want to temporarily change any configuration files in case my program crashes before it can unset this option. Owen On Thu, 2008-10-02 at 16:25 +0200, Marco Solari wrote: Thanks! It worked like a charm ;-) Now the limit is 480 minutes (8 hours), which I suppose is quite a long time... ;-) Cheers.

Announcing PenguinTV, rss reader and podcast downloader
I've finally finished the port of my RSS/Podcast software, PenguinTV, to hildon and maemo. The big sticking point was how to package python-gtkmozembed support, but I figured that out and now PenguinTV is on extras-devel for testing and comments. If it seems to work for people, then I'll promote it to extras. Where to find it: extras-devel Here's a quick feature list: * 5-year development history, with workarounds for all sorts of malformed feeds * responsive on maemo even with 100 feeds * local image caching, for viewing feeds even when you don't have an internet connection * support for enclosed media, including video and audio * built-in gstreamer media player that remembers playback position so you can exit and restart where you left off * tagging support for quick access to subsets of your feeds * mostly finger-friendly interface, although I could use some help with this * power-management Good Citizen -- no ticking clocks or running threads unless needed -- leave it running all day Here are some problems: * startup time is really slow right now, and I'm trying to improve it. Since PenguinTV is python-based, most of the time is just starting up python and loading all the modules it needs (which is a lot). Another big chunk of time is loading the glade UI. I would appreciate any help fixing this. * feed updating is very slow, but it is steady and it won't peg the CPU. Feed updates are done at priority 15 to ensure that the device remains responsive and doesn't pop up not responding messages. * penguintv eats a lot of RAM. not much I can do about this. * gtkmozembed doesn't support finger-scrolling. I don't know how to fix this. Please give it a go and let me know what you think!

Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Ah yes, there is a binding in python. I was using display_state_on instead of display_blanking_pause, that was my problem. thanks, owen On Fri, 2008-10-03 at 16:23 +0200, Frantisek Dufka wrote: Owen Williams wrote: Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while playing back video?

Well, I suppose if I do not explicitly fall back, the browser will do, right? ;-) But, there is no font available to be installed on the tablet? If you want more fonts, you may try installing the ttf-dejavu package. It does not contain arial or times, but contains a serif, a sans-serif and a sans-serif mono font (the whole font family is called DejaVu). For Microsoft fonts, it should be possible to prepare a package from the so-called Microsoft Web Fonts which are kind of semi-free, but one must look first into their license very carefully, if it's allowed to re-distribute the repackaged fonts. -- Andrew signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
