Problem when promoting package to maemo-testing
Hi all, I promoted this package nearly 15 hours ago: http://maemo.org/packages/view/n900-locales-extras-elgr/ But it's still not in maemo testing repository. At the same time, I promoted 3 other packages, http://maemo.org/packages/view/n900-locales-extras-zhcn/ http://maemo.org/packages/view/n900-locales-extras-zhhk/ http://maemo.org/packages/view/n900-locales-extras-zhtw/ So I would like to know is some thing wrong?

Strange crash, ask for help on how to debug
Hi all, I'm porting PCManX to N900. The functions work well now, but it will crash frequently. Usually, I need to open XTerm, to set ulimit -c unlimited, and run the application, to get the crash dump file. But it's strange for this application. The crash never happens if I run the application from XTerm. Whatever I run pcmanx or run-standalone pcmanx, it will not crash. Only if I start the application from the application list, it may crash after a while. I think most of you won't use this application. I mean, PCManX is an old style telnet BBS client. So I just would like to ask if you have any idea about how to debug that in this situation? I cannot get any crash log now.

It works now. Thank you very much.

Since hildon-desktop is starting your program up via D-Bus, it expects to be able to call the top_application method on your application. You can either do that (call osso_initialize) or remove the X-Osso-Service line.

How does Hildon input method framework support Qt applications?
Hi all, I ported SCIM to Maemo 5, and it runs just OK in most of GTK applications. But I found it doesn't work in Qt applications, because I didn't port the SCIM Qt immodule, either. Well, the strange thing is, from the source code, I think Hildon input method framework is also just a Gtk immodule. How could it support Qt applications? I checked the folder, /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/inputmethods, there's only only module libqimsw-multi.so. It seems Hildon input method doesn't implement a Qt module, then how does it work?

Re: Why touch event go through my window
Hi, Thank you for your reply. Which locale are you using? It's ok to run it under en_US on real device. The application is using by lots of users for 2 monthes. I think it should not have such problem. The source code can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/scim-for-maemo/ Well, I admit the source code is a bit complex.

Because I've applied my workaround since mscim_1.4.7-1maemo6_armel, you need to try one before version 1.4.7-1maemo6. And please also install mscim-googlepinyin package from maemo extras-devel repository. The input method only works after both of these 2 packages are installed. I installed mscim-googlepinyin 0.11.10-1maemo3 and mscim 1.4.7-1maemo5 but it is not working. scim-panel-gtk is crashing with signal 6. I attached the syslog with one message. I tried with our latest Maemo5 version and with 51-1 image but the same thing happens in both. How to get it to run? -Kimmo ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Why touch event go through my window
Because I want the window has a white board around it. If I don't set the window type hint, the window itself will be just a pure window with no board. Even set the board width doesn't work. But for sure that I've tried to remove these code to make sure the bug is not caused by these code. And I found these code is not related to the bug.

Re: Why touch event go through my window
Yes. I've tried that. But I still have no idea why it crashes on your device. It works well here. I'm not sure, but maybe you can try: 1. rm -rf /home/user/.scim And reboot to check if it works. 2. Reinstall it. Since someone said it works for him before: http://code.google.com/p/scim-for-maemo/issues/detail?id=22can=1 (Comment 8) I'm trying to reproduce and fix it now. I will let you know if I have any progress on it. Thank you very much!

Re: Why touch event go through my window
Hi, Reply inline. 2010/2/15 Kimmo Hämäläinen kimmo.hamalai...@nokia.com: On Sun, 2010-02-14 at 04:09 +0100, ext Evan JIANG wrote: Thank you for your reply. Since I'm on travel now, I may could only try it some days later. I guess it's cause by the browser and hildon-desktop called some matchbox API directly, that maybe some MB APIs could hide the window and the window can not be shown again with GTK APIs. No, there are no Matchbox(2) APIs used by applications. (The API is not even available at all because the libmatchbox2 library is statically linked to hildon-desktop, so no application is able to dynamically link to it.) I said that because of I saw #include matchbox/core/mb-wm.h and lots of APIs like mb_wm_* in hildon-desktop source code. The code is from http://maemo.gitorious.org/fremantle-hildon-desktop . My guess about your ghost window is that the X window stacking does not match what the compositor shows on the screen. So it could be a bug in hildon-desktop, or it could be some unsupported window type (that's why I asked for xprop and xwininfo outputs). I found everything works well with FireFox borwser for Maemo. That is interesting... Have you tried the N900 browser in fullscreen mode, does it work then? No, it has the same problem in N900 browser with fullscreen mode. Here I could give more details about the window lifecycle. There's a scim-gtk-panel daemon which will auto start when system startup. When the daemon starts, it will create a winodw, and hide it immediately. Everytime when the input method need to show the input window, it will send command to the daemon to show the input window and move it to the front. When the inputing is done and edit field loses the focus, the input window will be hidden by calling gtk_widget_hide This should work if the window is supported by the window manager (to see that I need the xprop xwininfo outputs or a test program from you). I did these on my window: gtk_window_set_type_hint (GTK_WINDOW (_input_window), GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG); gtk_widget_set_name (_input_window, hildon-input-method-ui); But I've tried to comment these lines or change to other types or names. It has the same problem. This design works all right on most of PC Desktop Linux. As I said, it also works well for most applications on Maemo, except browser. In the Browser application, when the input window is showing, and I click on other places to close the window, the window won't show again with gtk_widget_show_all. My current workaround is, when the input window need to be hidden, I will destroy the window, and next time when it need to be shown, I will create the window again. With this workaround, it works just OK now. But, the performance is much worse than before, since creating and destroying the window take longer time. This workaround should not be necessary. We have many such windows, for example the Select Connection dialog that you use to select connection to the Internet. It sounds like the window type is confusing to the window manager and it does not behave right in this case. The application is in mameo extras-devel repository. Could you help me to test that? You can get it from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/m/mscim/mscim_1.4.7-1maemo5_armel.deb It's not the latest version in the repository.

And please also install mscim-googlepinyin package from maemo extras-devel repository. The input method only works after both of these 2 packages are installed. After install these packages, you need to reboot the device. Focus in an edit field, and press keys will show the input window. Maybe you will need ctrl+space to turn on the input method. It's a Chinese input method, but I think you don't need to care that. Like, you can just press a to test. Here is howto reproduce the problem: 1.Launch N900 browser, and goto google homepage. 2.Click the search field to make it able to input. 3.Press a with hard keyboard. The input window should show now. 4.Click other places in the web page, but not the edit field and inside the input window. The input window will be hidden now. Or maybe sometimes even you click the buttons in input window, the problem will happen, too. Then, no way to show the input window again. If you do the same steps in other applications like conversation - New SMS, the input window will still show when you next time press a. Not sure if these informations are enought. Thank you very much for your help.
