Problems with Python dependencies

2009-05-25 Thread Quim Gil
Hi, this weekend I took a chance to try several apps available in
extras-devel.

That included some SDL games that just showed how slow I'm getting, but
that's not the point of this email. :)

There were plenty of packages unable to install due to missing
dependencies: all of them Python based. I sent emails to the maintainers
(it would be better to file bugs in bugs.maemo.org, maybe we can add a
'misc' component for these, so at elast we could mail the maintainers
with a link to bugzilla instead of a purely private message?).

The answers from the maintainers were similar:

- They didn't know about these missing dependencies as the packages work
on their local systems (where I guess such dependencies are satisfied).

- They didn't know the auto-builder would let a package go through to
extras-devel wit dependencies missing.

- Some didn't know where the python-support (= 0.90.0) dependency
actually came from.

- Plus other questions about Python bindings that, as the user I am, I
have no clue about. Again, filing bugs makes easier to help them since
all the discussion is public and others can jump in and help. Or in this
thread here. Or...

fwiw the dependencies missing included osso-gnomevfs-extra,
python2.5-hildondesktop, python-mokoui  python-support =0.90.0.

Re: Could not start Xephyr (Maemo 5 Beta SDK). Please help me to resolve. ()

2009-05-25 Thread daniel wilms
Hi,

these are Xephyr related issues and they don't depend on the SDK you are using. 
In general these are smaller issues and at least the initial window should show 
up. I found a thread regarding the font problem [1]. And which system are you 
using. I've read that there might be some Ubuntu related problems.

Re: BeagleBoard and maemo

2009-05-25 Thread daniel wilms
Hi,
 
 I will try some more but as the OE kernel appears to work it might be better
 to try to get the Beta running on the Beagle.

At the moment just the alpha should work on the beagle board. With the beta 
there are still some issues, which are not solved yet.

 Yes, the Hildon HIG seems to suggest this, though it's very vague due to

Sorry, that was the wrong section. It's actually not mentioned in the
public Maemo HIG. I filed a bug:

 However, if radio buttons are meant to look a certain way in Maemo, why
 isn't that just a matter of theming or even of making a change in the
 GTK+ code instead of asking people to use the GTK+ API in an abnormal
 way?

No, Beta generally means that API and UI changes are no longer possible.
And I think that's the case with Maemo 5.

It's unfortunate that we only saw a well-enough documented API reference

Yes, I know that's the Qt philosphy, but repeating it doesn't answer my
question. For instance:

I guess, Qt windows can't usually have markup in their titles, so you'd
be changing the documented behaviour (therefore subtly changing the API)
if you parsed the regular title as markup, instead of offering separate
API:
http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hildon/HildonWindow.html#hildon-window-set-markup
(I think that the new API should be added to upstream GTK+ instead
anyway.)

I guess, Qt windows don't usually have a concept of activated by the
window manager:
http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hildon/HildonWindow.html#hildon-window-get-is-topmost
(This is presumably something different than gtk_window_is_active():
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-is-active 
)

Also, I doubt that the Qt menu and toolbar API easily supports the idea
of one-single edit toolbar, introduced in Maemo 5:

 Another thing is, that if you compare those two menus, you can easily

 make some experiments. HIG suggestions are welcome as well :)

The Hildon HIG 
http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hig/html/ch06s09.html
says

Only use toggle buttons as filters in a menu. Use them in groups, so
they are not mistaken for regular buttons. Make the group behave like
either a group of check buttons or a group of GTK radio buttons, as
required.


I wonder how we should use them in a group. Maybe putting them in a
filter has that effect.

Re: Does Maemo's Qt look like Hildon?

2009-05-25 Thread Antonio Aloisio
The point is that we don't want to add new concepts to Qt if not strictly
necessary.
The idea  I keep in my mind is We are going to adapt Qt to hildon, not
rewriting hildon with Qt.
I hope that the other people understand this too. Then we need to discard
something...

If we want to add the features that you mentioned before, well most probably
we need to add new APIs...

I've been using the versions that are publicly available with the Maemo 5

IMHO most of the extended hildon widgets could be dropped.
Hildon widgets like hildon banners instead need to be integrated inside Qt.
Extended widget could be shipped in an external library if necessary.. but I

 http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Fremantle#Data_management

Thanks for the update Soumya. I would be great if there were a list of  
python dependencies so that we do not repeat this type of problem in  
the future. This is a point of contact between the open community  
and the closed corporation that seems to need a tiny bit of oil to  
be friction free.

If there were a clear list of dependencies, the community could also  
work on satisfying these issues and maybe even save Nokia time. Is  
there such a list?

Hi Srinivasan,

no you are not missing anything during the installation. The reason for this 
is, that the browser is not part of the SDK and cannot be started from the UI. 
The icon is just there to avoid corruptions of the menus within the task

Re: Problems with Python dependencies

 There were plenty of packages unable to install due to missing

 with a link to bugzilla instead of a purely private message?).

Interesting. I will run a script here to check python packages in
Diablo that should fail to install in fremantle due to missing
dependencies, and check which of these dependencies are related to
PyMaemo packages.

 - They didn't know about these missing dependencies as the packages work
 on their local systems (where I guess such dependencies are satisfied).

 - They didn't know the auto-builder would let a package go through to
 extras-devel wit dependencies missing.

I think the above two shows that the extras-devel system needs to be
more documented/promoted ?

 - Some didn't know where the python-support (= 0.90.0) dependency
 actually came from.

Possibly it is due to some other dependency that actually needs it,
and not necessarily a direct dependency. But see below, this package
is already on fremantle extras-devel for some time.

 - Plus other questions about Python bindings that, as the user I am, I
 have no clue about. Again, filing bugs makes easier to help them since
 all the discussion is public and others can jump in and help. Or in this
 thread here. Or...

Personally I like bug reports because they allow me to track my
progress on fixing bugs, but sending a message here on in the
pymaemo-developers list is also OK (I can even create the bug report
myself later).

 fwiw the dependencies missing included osso-gnomevfs-extra,
 python2.5-hildondesktop, python-mokoui  python-support =0.90.0.

* python2.5-hildondesktop:   it is now in fremantle extras-devel since
the weekend (sorry for not making this public yet, I was working on
writing an example plugin because this new version WILL require
porting from packages and will not work without changes

* python-mokoui : no idea which package is this. Jeremiah/Niels: can
it be added the your automatic building task?

* python-support =0.90.0 : it is already there since the PyMaemo beta
release (version 1.0.2maemo1). I think the person who reported this
did not have the extras-devel repository added to his/her target
sources.list.

BTW, all python dependencies maintained by PyMaemo once named
python2.5-XXX must be renamed to python-XXX for fremantle. This is
necessary because we now follow Debian Python packaging policy as
close as possible. But note that the old package names (python2.5-XXX)
should still work.

building/requesting python bindings ?

2009-05-25 Thread Attila Csipa
Just wondering after failing to locate a relevant Wiki page. What's the 
recommended way of getting a python binding for a lib into extras ? I'd do it 
myself, but I don't trust my packaging skills enough to do it right right off 
the bat and chances are that people might start using it so it's not as 
carefree to update as an application in extras-devel, there might be policies 
about bindings, etc... Should I finally fix my scratchbox and do a few 
heroic, but probably laughable attempts, bug Jeremiah, or, more 
embarrassingly, go to a detailed Wiki page that I missed on this topic 
somehow ?

PS. For the record, I'm craving for python-poppler (probably should start 
around http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/python-poppler ). Poppler 
itself, Cairo and the other dependencies are already in maemo repos so it 
should really be just the binding...

 The Hildon HIG

 says
 
 Only use toggle buttons as filters in a menu. Use them in groups, so
 they are not mistaken for regular buttons. Make the group behave like
 either a group of check buttons or a group of GTK radio buttons, as
 required.
 
 
 I wonder how we should use them in a group. Maybe putting them in a
 filter has that effect.

I just tried that, and indeed using hildon_app_menu_add_filter() groups
the toggle buttons together into one row.

I made to screenshots to illustrate the point. The radio group
consists of the four buttons with the labels Small, Normal, Large
and Huge.

1) Using hildon_app_menu_append() you get the normal 2 column layout:
http://zwong.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/app_menu_with_buttons.png

2) Using hildon_app_menu_add_filter() puts all of them into the first
row of the menu:
http://zwong.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/app_menu_with_filter.png

I hope this helps! The drawback is, you can have only one Filter per

 Another thing is, that if you compare those two menus, you can

 of separators. I'm not yet sure how to get back this structure, but
 I'll make some experiments. HIG suggestions are welcome as well :)

I'd like to write a longer e-mail about this, but the basic
thing is that the Fremantle menu is purposely different from
GtkMenu. HildonAppMenu has a limited number of options and there are
no separators or submenus. It is designed to be like that.

This means that in many cases you won't be able to simply convert it:
it has to be redesigned.

Show the user a few options and use e.g. dialogs for further
details/configuration. Buttons and dialogs in Fremantle are designed
to be big and finger-friendly so the user should be able to use them
easily.

AppMenu, Filters and HIG

2009-05-25 Thread Cornelius Hald
Hello again :)

To not make the other threads more cluttered as they are already, here's
a new one.

I'm trying to another window fully conform to the Fremantle HIG, but I'm
not sure that I understand the paragraph on Filters:
http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hig/html/ch04s02.html

The window is a window to select a particular note from a list. The list
has two columns: The title of the note and the date when it was last
changed.
Using a simple GtkTreeView it is displayed with a header row which
offers sorting, this means the list can be sorted in four ways:
- Sort By Title Ascending
- Sort By Title Descending
- Sort By Date Ascending
- Sort By Date Descending

Here is a screenshot of this window:
http://zwong.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/search_window.png

As you can see, I could probably display one more note, if I would
remove the header row. If I read about Filters it sounds like I
could/should use them for this purpose because in the documentation I
read ... For example, sorting alphabetically a list of contacts 

I tried putting those four sorting options into a filter, but it doesn't
work because the filters are shown in one row and the strings are just
too long for that. This would be the result:
http://zwong.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/search_window_with_long_filters.png

I know that Filters are supposed to work like this, therefore I would
like to get some insight on what the appropriate way is to handle this
situation.

1) Keep the header row and not use Filters at all?
2) Remove one column, so that only one column is left?
3) Use filters, but different?
4) Something completely different?

I know this is getting tiresome, but if I put time into the UI now, I
want that it doesn't look out of place later.

Thanks!
Conny

P.S. Removing the word By doesn't help much ;)

Re: AppMenu, Filters and HIG

 This is the purpose of filters, but you might need to find strings
 that fit well in the menu.

Another option, if you don't find a good way to put all filters there,
is to use a Change sort criteria button and pop all available
options using a touch selector.

Look at HildonTouchSelector, HildonPickerDialog and HildonPickerButton

Writing Hildon Home Widgets in Python (Fremantle)

2009-05-25 Thread Anderson Lizardo
[cross-posting to maemo-developers and pymaemo-developers; feel free
to strip one of them when following up]

Hi all,

I have just uploaded a new version of python-hildondesktop to
fremantle, allowing one to write Home Widgets plugins in Python. There
is no documentation for it yet, buy you can find an usage example
(based on the C example from [1]) here:

http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/HildonDesktop

It also contains some information about the API changes for fremantle,
required if you intend to port your Home Applets from older Maemo
releases.

[1] 
https://garage.maemo.org/svn/maemoexamples/branches/fremantle-sdk-testing/maemo-examples/hello-world-home.c

Please redirect comments, suggestions to the PyMaemo team list:
pymaemo-develop...@garage.maemo.org

Consider this release alpha quality.

Regards,

Re: Browser not launched, Maemo 4.1.2 SDK

2009-05-25 Thread Srinivasan Kumarasamy
Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your help.

I would like to setup a complete environment like an actual device.

Also when I try to launch 'Browse installable applications' in Application
manager,

I am noticing the following message in terminal window,

hildon-application-manager[12188]: GLIB DEBUG ConIc -
con_ic_connection_send_event(0x846d6c0, (null), (null), 1)

So network components might be missing.

If I need to have fully functional device like environment, what are the
tools, libraries I should install. Please help me to setup.

For your information, Currently the content of 'sources.list' in my
environment is,

[sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~]  cat /etc/apt/sources.list

 Hi Srinivasan,

 no you are not missing anything during the installation. The reason for
 this is, that the browser is not part of the SDK and cannot be started from
 the UI. The icon is just there to avoid corruptions of the menus within the
 task navigator.

Could vmware images help me to have SDK and a fully functional maemo device

If it could help, which image can i download from,

 Will do :) Apropo ML, I happen to notice qt4-de...@garage is not

 it's missing just because nobody had the need for nabble or RSS. I would
 have registered it myself but it felt kind of silly (=wrong) to represent

To be honest I don't know about this service.. In my understanding it
converts mails in RSS feeds... If I got correctly, then yes you can... why
not.
We are a community and all the things that can give us benefits are welcome!

 Some new Qt libs will be added.. they will be extra libs and there are not
 python bindings for them...


That's not a problem if they don't contain things that are *critical* to
 run/use Qt apps on Maemo. Also, if these Qt addon libs are becoming
 'official' in the Harmattan timeframe, it would be smart to talk to Phil
 Thompson (PyQt author) and possibly get official support for them in
 upstream PyQt (maybe it's just me dreaming, but with a Nokia sticker on the
 Qt logo it doesn't sound all that impossible).

No they are just external libs. You can avoid to use them without any
problem..

If I got correctly, what you are looking for is a complete emulation...
Take a look of this:
