[maemo-developers] Setting system time

2006-07-23 Thread Steven Hill
Does anyone know what function(s) are available for setting system time
on the Nokia 770 (IT2006) from inside an application?  GNU C time
functions will not work I think because time can only be set by a
privileged user.  And according to the documentation the libosso
function osso_time_set doesn't do anything. 

Any ideas?

[maemo-developers] IT2006 library installation

2006-07-19 Thread Steven Hill
Is there a way to write a .deb package that the Application Installer in
IT2006 will understand that only installs a library?  Because the only
way to install missing libraries into the filesystem is to install
xterm, become root somehow (like use becomeroot) and use apt-get
install  Most general users won't want to do this.

Any ideas from the experts?

Re: [maemo-developers] Application catalog from repositories

 Hi,
 
 I hacked together a small script which reads the Packages.gz files from
 a configured set of repositories and generates a catalog page showing
 all packages, grouped by sections. Maybe someone finds this useful.
 
 Example page:

 Script source:
 http://www.iki.fi/tkomulai/maemo/generate-catalog.py
 
 One thing you may notice is that there's little consistency between
 packages currently.
 
 Personally I think any application catalog should be able to handle and
 collect the mandatory information (sections, name, version, description)
 automatically so that the data is taken straight from the packages where
 it has to be anyway. That should encourage using repositories instead of
 links to files as well as increase package metadata quality. Would just
 need a way nice way to integrate the package data with screenshots,
 comments, etc. Maybe Debian or Ubuntu already have one, I don't know.
 
 Of course once you crawl multiple repositories like this you could even
 mirror all the packages in one repository and save the user the trouble
 of configuring several of them in the application installer.
 
 
I checked out your applications catalog, and I see that under libraries
there should be a libsqlite0 package, but when I look in my app
installer list it is not there - I have all the repositories in my
catalog, including kernelconcepts that are the source of the package,
but the library is not listed - any idea why?

[maemo-developers] Need some help with debian file for IT2006 device

2006-07-18 Thread Steven Hill
Hello:
First, I am not an experienced Linux person, but I have been developing
on the Nokia for several months, with some success.  I am flying by the
seat of my pants as they used to say. I am porting my application to
IT2006, and have done that successfully, but the app depends on
libsqlite0, which is part of the root fs on the i386 side, but not on
the device itself, so I have to find a way to install it.  I managed to
do this after a lot of poking around - I think I had to use the
becomeroot application to get root privileges, and then I could use
apt-get install to get the package from the repository.  This left a
copy of libsqlite0_2.18.3-2_armel.deb in the cache, so I downloaded
this file to another location, thinking that others could use it to
install the library.  However, when I try to install this library using
that file and the application manager, I get the message that it is an
incompatible package.

I cannot attach the file to this message because it would make it too
big for the list- could someone please give me some advice as to 
why this package will not install on an IT2006 device ( I could send the
file to you if it would help)?

Thanks,
Steve Hill

[maemo-developers] IT2006 development problems - HildonProgram and HildonWindow

2006-07-15 Thread Steven Hill
In the documentation for the new UI using HildonProgram and
HildonWindow, we see the following, both in the porting instructions and
in the developing new application doc:

/* Begin the main app */
gtk_widget_show ( GTK_WIDGET ( program ) );
gtk_main();

where program is a pointer to HildonProgram - this statement generates a 
pile of run-time errors because HildonProgram is not a GTK_WIDGET and has no 
visible 
properties.  Obviously this is wrong.

In addition - the old UI with HildonApp had the very useful method 
hildon_app_set_appview

What is the replacement of this with HildonProgram and HildonWindow? - I see 
only methods like 
hildon_program_add_window and ...remove_window, but how do we know which of the 
registered windows 
is the window that is currently being shown by HildonProgram??

This new UI is confusing to me... can anyone help clear up the confusion?

[maemo-developers] SQLITE development in IT2006

2006-07-13 Thread Steven Hill
Hello all:

Can anyone tell me either:
1. Where I can find an ARMEL version of libsqlite3-dev to use when
developing for the Nokia 770 IT2006 version, OR
2. Where I can find a port of the libsqlite0 package to the ARMEL IT2006
version.

Failing that, how do I install the libsqlite0 package to a Nokia 770
device running IT2006? I know that the package is available at the
repository, but can't figure out how to get at it using the package
installer!!!

 Ok, so this points to a bug in libosso-ic.so (the library providing
 the IC API) and I'll have to investigate this more. Can you give any
 instructions how to reproduce it? I haven't seen this before so I
 suspect there's something special needed for triggering this bug. What
 770 software version are you using?
 
  Do you know where the status_changed messages are being generated?
 
 It's printed from libosso-ic.so. To be precise from src/ic-api.c line 104
 which is in debian source package osso-ic-oss.
 
I am running this app on (I believe) the most recent production version
of the 770 (downloaded and installed using the Windows flasher -
according to the Device information it is 3.2005.51-13.
I have attached my network.c file and two header files.  The connection
code is based on the osso-ic example with a few changes and additions.
Network connection is made with a call to get_connected.  Let me know if
this helps...

 Like Kimmo said, there shouldn't be anything killing you application.
 This smells like a bug. Let's try find it, but to do that you have to
 provide some more information. Can you get any output from your
 application. Does it crash or what? Are there any errors and if yes,
 what? Do you use libosso-ic-preload.so library with LD_PRELOAD,
 osso_socket() or IC API?

I use the osso-iap-connect method to open a connection (the IC API) 
 
 Please note that with the first two methods (libosso-ic-preload.so and
 osso_socket() all sockets are closed with shutdown(2) if the Internet
 connection is dropped. Does your application handle this gracefully?
 This is the first thing I would check.
 
 (With IC API this doesn't happen, with that method it's the
 applications responsibility to close the sockets.)
 
  I came up with a workaround that pings a socket every 30
  seconds - that keeps the app running with screen dimming and blanking
  still functional.  But what do I do if my socket crashes or I lose my
  internet connection due to a wireless router malfunction or
  whatever??
 
 I agree, that's just a hack and nowhere near a proper solution.
 Applications shouldn't die when connections drop. With mobile devices
 connections drop all the time and we need to handle it properly.
 
 BTW, are you aware of that you disable connection idle timer from the
 Connectivity Control Panel applet?

OK, I think you just solved my problem - I had the WLAN idle time set to 60 
minutes,
 and I did an experiment to see how long my connection lasted, and it was 
exactly 60 minutes.
I will set my WLAN idle time to unlimited, and I bet I will not lose my 
connection.


 
  There must be a method that will intercept the system call to shut the
  app off and ignore it, but I have not found such a thing discussed in
  the maemo docs.
 
 You assume that this is a desired functionality, but it's not. There's

[maemo-developers] Why my app does not work

2006-03-03 Thread Steven Hill
Hello all:
I figured out why my app does not work on the production version of
the Nokia 770 - the development system has sqlite 2.8.13-2 installed,
but the production system does not.  There is a port of sqlite
available, but it is version 3 of sqlite, so my app will not be able to
use those libraries.  I have found the package for sqlite 2.8.13-2 in
the maemo repository and downloaded it to the Nokia, but cannot install
it from xterm because that requires superuser privileges which I do not
have as a regular user on the Nokia.  Can anyone tell me how to build my
application package so that it includes the necessary sqlite libraries
in the expected locations as part of the installation package? I have no
idea how to do it, the documentation of package building is arcane...

Thanks,

[maemo-developers] App runs on development 770, not on production 770

2006-03-02 Thread Steven Hill
Hello all:
I am developing an application for a group that is across the continent
from me.  I am using a Nokia 770 with the development file system.  My
app runs perfectly on the 770 with the development system, but when I
put the .deb file on an ftp site for them to download and install, all
goes OK with the install, and the app is in the EXTRAS folder, but when
they click to start up the app, nothing happens.

Does anyone have any clue why this might happen?

I could learn a lot more if I could run the app from the install
directory, but the file system will not let me get there using the xterm
app on the production 770 - any ideas how to overcome that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

software using apt-get install osso-ic-oss to include scripts,
etc. to enable automatically starting up the connection manager
when establishing a socket from within an application. But when
I try that, I get the following:

[sbox-SDK_PC: ~]  apt-get install osso-ic-oss
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package osso-ic-oss

I am new to Linux, and not familiar with the whole package
concept. I think I found the required package for osso-ic-oss in
the pool directory at the maemo repository.  I assumed that
when the development system is installed that the appropriate
links etc are built.  I recently upgraded to Maemo1.1 by doing a
dist-upgrade according to the instructions at
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_DistUpgrade

I would appreciate any help in understanding how to get the
osso-ic-oss package installed.

[maemo-developers] Automatic internet connection

2006-01-26 Thread Steven Hill
I am new to linux development, working with the Nokia 770. I have two
related questions about internet connectivity.
1. I have followed the instructions in the tutorial to run a script
including the line
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libosso-ic-preload.so
before calling the executable in the script.  But when my application
starts (this is on the actual device, not the PC simulator) and looks
for a connection which has not yet been made, the connection manager
does not start up automatically.  If I manually set up a connection
before running the application then everything proceeds with no problem.
Shouldn't the connection manager start up automatically if no connection
exists?
2. On the PC simulator rootstrap, one is supposed to install some
software using apt-get install osso-ic-oss to include the same
functionality as outlined above for ARM development. But when I do that,
the installer cannot find the package, and I cannot find any references
to it anywhere.  The closest I have found is a package called
osso-ic-lib_0.35_i386.deb but I don't know if it is the right package,
or if it is, what to do with it.

Can anyone give me some advice and guidance on these issues?
