 Is there a way to tell 'opkg upgrade' to upgrade everything except the kernel?

I just removed /etc/opkg/neo1973.conf

I don't really see how it could be useful, and it takes care of this
particular problem.

 Hi Yaroslav and all the good contributors to Freerunner, 

 I got a short answer on your second question :)

 On Tuesday 29. July 2008, Yaroslav Halchenko wrote:

   
 another question (sorry if I missed answer in some of the threads) -- I
 wonder if you are the only person dedicated by Trolltech (or Nokia) to
 work on qtopia for openmoko? 
 

 Holger Freyther was working on supporting Qtopia on OpenEmbedded paid by 
 Trolltech for almost half a year, also benefiting the Freerunner effort. 
 He is now contributing through OpenMoko, and I think he's doing a good 
 job. We will increase our effort supporting free software. That will be 
 expressed in actions instead of words. 

 I'm planning to invite some of the heavy contributors using Qt in 
 Freerunner to a round table session in Brisbane Australia. There are 
 several things on the agenda, but it boils down to what Trolltech can 
 improve. The only reason I as a community manger has not been faster, is 
 all the work with the Nokia acquisition planning. When you include my 
 usual travelling to free software events, there has been no time left to 
 cover more bases. 

   
 It is just interesting ;-) also it would 
 be great if you could summarize in few words (if you feel like it) what
 are the future directions you and your team are going to accomplish for
 qtopia on FR? would be there a 'long term support' of any kind for
 qtopia on FR?
 

 Trolltech will further develop, improve and enhance Qtopia. When it comes 
 to Freerunner, they are in charge for their plans and actions regarding 
 software development.  Of course there are cooperation with Trolltech 
 engineering, community and some marketing activeties. And we are working 
 on improvements there too.  

 Personally I'm a fan of the Freerunner effort. When I got the opportunity, 
 I've sponsored travels and accommodations for persons who present what 
 can be done with Freerunner and Open Source on phones. Ole Tange was one 
 of the speakers[1] at Open Nordic Mobile in June. He did a really good 
 presentation of the Freerunner project and opportunities with free 
 software on phones. 

 1. http://conference.ez.no/eng/Open-Nordic-Conference-2008/Program

 We have shown the prover of Qtopia with Neo 1973 since Open Source in 
 Mobile September 2007. We also got a demo called Qt Everywhere with a 
 touch screen program launcher using PictureFlow[2]. We are running that 
 on Neo at all our trade shows and some of the free software events: 

 2. http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/PictureFlow?content=75348

 Several people are working on the program for Mobile Developer Days 2008 
 (MDD) in Berlin 10-14 September (the conference will be from Sept 10-12, 
 the weekend Sept 12-14 will be a code camp). Last year a couple of 
 OpenEmbedded/Freerunner developers participated at MDD in Denmark. We 
 hope that more can join this year in Berlin. I know more people will join 
 from Nokia this year. 

 3. 
 http://mobiledevices.kom.aau.dk/team_and_organization/events/mobile_developer_days_2008/

 This was maybe not a short answer, but it shows that we are committed and 
 really pleased with the progress of Freerunner and the use of Qtopia. The 
 question now is when and how to organise our round table trip to 
 Australia :)

 Best regards

 Knut Yrvin
   
I very much appreciate the work Trolltech/Nokia have put in to the 
Qtopia release and the support which they have shown for the Freerunner 
project and open-source mobile in general - thank you, I always enjoy 
reading your posts on the mailing lists.

I have a couple of questions - I read somewhere on the Openmoko wiki 
that (to paraphrase) enough of the Qtopia release is open-source that 
you can run it on the Freerunner without the proprietary components. I 
know Qt has gradually migrated to open licenses over the course of 
history, but what is the current licensing status of the Freerunner 
Qtopia release? How much is open-source and how much is proprietary? And 
if I can finish with a horribly vague question, how much of the 
open-source component of Qtopia is contributed back to the Openmoko 
project in a usable fashion (i.e. do the open-source components rely on 
a proprietary component [or Qtopia-specific feature such as writing 
directly to framebuffer] to work and therefore are only open-source in 
the context of Qtopia development, or are they totally portable to 
ASU/FSO with little or no modification?)

Hi all!

Well, I'm a little new to this (as I'm sure everybody says when they are
posting for the first time), but I was wondering, how can I free up space on
the neo? Are there any packages that are not necessary? I somehow find
myself using up 99% of space after doing an 'upgrade'. I would like to
install a bunch of python modules to run pyroute (has anyone has any luck
with that so far?) but I keep running out of space. When I try installing
the modules onto an sd card, I run out of space there as well. Do python
modules normally take up over 400mb of space? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

I can't use them on OM (with the image 20080722 but I couldn't with the

 Back in the glorious days of Qtopia2 (o zauri, where are thou?), there
 was an X server running on top of Qt-embedded. I'm pretty sure it
 stalled since then, but one can give it a try
 (http://xqt.sourceforge.jp/).
 
 BTW, it might have been a quicker way to reach the let's run random X

 Just the other way around, I guess.
 

Some people are already complaining that X is slow, I can't even imagine

 You can say what you

FSO has nothing to do with freeing people to pick their toolkit.
OM2007.2 offers the phonekit and eds (evolution data server).

need to wake up and deliver.

OM2007.2 is there, just lets use and refine it. 
The Neo Freerunner is there, just lets use and refine it. 
Since November 2006 we hear: just a few more months.

There is no reason to wait for FSO and seeing how chaotic development

ever be anything usable. It is a lot more important to get a community
of developers in here and a community of VAR (value added resellers).
And it is a lot more important to build up an ecosystem.

FSO is a questionable approach made by people with no industry

Staying in your metaphor of vessels I want to tell you: it is difficult

Just lets do it.

Re: Warranty after fix for GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interference issue

2008-07-30 Thread Jay Vaughan
 (We have external LNA)  It means it can track with a 16dBm reduction  
 in
 GPS signal after it made the satellite acquisitions.  So if you
 understood it will get a fix OK with the software workaround, and we  
 saw
 many people report this, you should expect the tracking phase to work
 better than the acquisition phase since the signal requirement is
 relaxed by 16dBm.


My experience has proven that this is not the case; yes the fix  
happens sooner, but if SD I/O occurs during tracking phase, wild  
errors are still introduced into the GPS signal sufficient to drive us  
off the map.

Just sayin', not trying to stir the pot.  I've been testing this GPS  
fix every day since it arrived, by tracking my progress to work, and  
if I zoom too closely (meaning there is more SD I/O on map refreshes)  
the GPS goes wild.


 That'll be interesting.  But in the real world many thing perturb GPS
 tracking and sophisticated software filters are anyway used to try to
 see through excursions, I guess this will be the case for typical SD
 Card usage pattern here.


My ride to and from work is through a wide open space with no  
obstructions, lots of blue sky, and for sure .. SD I/O still massively  
impacts GPS *accuracy*.  Not just in the acquisition phase, but also  
tracking ..

ppp support not in the kernel?

2008-07-30 Thread Benedikt Schindler
hi,

i am trying to start a internet connection on the Freerunner over GPRS.
for the start i looked into this page:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPRS
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_GSM

and i'm aware that this pages are not ASU or Freerunner related.
i have managed to get the free GSM line.
if i try to start a connection via pppd i got this message:

pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP.  This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration.

isn't that build in? alle the opkg kernel-module-ppp-* are installed.
but there is no kernel-module-ppp ?
what could i do?

 My Freerunner hasn't arrived yet; when it does I'll check this out, it
 should be fairly easy to write a shell script which will convert any
 sound into a ringtone. It would be nice if there was an app on the
 phone itself to do it too...

 Would be nice, indeed. My FR didn't arrive as well, but I was thinking in

What will the GTA03 have? and other quick questions...

2008-07-30 Thread Monkey D. Luffy
There were some threads about this... and I spent about an hour
reading them... but still don't know nothing for sure.
All I hear is maybes :(


This is more or less my wish list... So what will be in?

1) camera (decent one, 3MP or more)
Will it be possible to record movies with sound? What resolution?

2) buttons on the damn thing :p
SNES and GBx all the way :)
Or at the very least, sell the GTA03 with an optional control pad:
http://www.icontrolpad.com/ But try to make it as small as possible
(maybe the control pad overlapping the case) so it doesn't get t big.

3) holder for a small plastic stylus. With an optinal string
connecting both, so that if you drop it by chance it doesn't get lost
forever in some crack to hell.
If possible, keep this in mind if selling the icontrolpad thingy (so
the stylus doesn't get trapped there).

4) GPS
Will I be able to keep maps updated for free?
Will it be possible to make use of google maps, in the sense of having
the indications on how to get from A to B?

5) USB connector (USB 2.x), in order to connect the phone to the computer

6) WiFi

7) accelerometers

8) bluetooth

9) a cute chinese or japanese girl ^_^
Well, at least their phone numbers :p


I heard about xv and glamo and what else... What I need to know is:
Will I be able to watch videos or play games (with sound on both) at
640x480 resolution?


What will the final price be? In Europe?

And when will it be ready?
You drive people crazy waiting for a final product with decent
features (e.g. camera)
I need a *working* new phone... yesterday :(
(must... resist... iphone...)

Maybe all this info should be on your wiki and wikipedia?

 Hi Yaroslav and all the good contributors to Freerunner, 

 I got a short answer on your second question :)

 another question (sorry if I missed answer in some of the threads) -- I
 wonder if you are the only person dedicated by Trolltech (or Nokia) to
 work on qtopia for openmoko? 
 
 Holger Freyther was working on supporting Qtopia on OpenEmbedded paid by 
 Trolltech for almost half a year, also benefiting the Freerunner effort. 
 He is now contributing through OpenMoko, and I think he's doing a good 
 job. We will increase our effort supporting free software. That will be 
 expressed in actions instead of words. 

 I'm planning to invite some of the heavy contributors using Qt in 
 Freerunner to a round table session in Brisbane Australia. There are 
 several things on the agenda, but it boils down to what Trolltech can 
 improve. The only reason I as a community manger has not been faster, is 
 all the work with the Nokia acquisition planning. When you include my 
 usual travelling to free software events, there has been no time left to 
 cover more bases. 

   
 It is just interesting ;-) also it would 
 be great if you could summarize in few words (if you feel like it) what
 are the future directions you and your team are going to accomplish for
 qtopia on FR? would be there a 'long term support' of any kind for
 qtopia on FR?
 
 Trolltech will further develop, improve and enhance Qtopia. When it comes 
 to Freerunner, they are in charge for their plans and actions regarding 
 software development.  Of course there are cooperation with Trolltech 
 engineering, community and some marketing activeties. And we are working 
 on improvements there too.  

 Personally I'm a fan of the Freerunner effort. When I got the opportunity, 
 I've sponsored travels and accommodations for persons who present what 
 can be done with Freerunner and Open Source on phones. Ole Tange was one 
 of the speakers[1] at Open Nordic Mobile in June. He did a really good 
 presentation of the Freerunner project and opportunities with free 
 software on phones. 

 1. http://conference.ez.no/eng/Open-Nordic-Conference-2008/Program

 We have shown the prover of Qtopia with Neo 1973 since Open Source in 
 Mobile September 2007. We also got a demo called Qt Everywhere with a 
 touch screen program launcher using PictureFlow[2]. We are running that 
 on Neo at all our trade shows and some of the free software events: 

 2. http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/PictureFlow?content=75348

 Several people are working on the program for Mobile Developer Days 2008 
 (MDD) in Berlin 10-14 September (the conference will be from Sept 10-12, 
 the weekend Sept 12-14 will be a code camp). Last year a couple of 
 OpenEmbedded/Freerunner developers participated at MDD in Denmark. We 
 hope that more can join this year in Berlin. I know more people will join 
 from Nokia this year. 

 3. 
 http://mobiledevices.kom.aau.dk/team_and_organization/events/mobile_developer_days_2008/

 This was maybe not a short answer, but it shows that we are committed and 
 really pleased with the progress of Freerunner and the use of Qtopia. The 
 question now is when and how to organise our round table trip to 
 Australia :)

 Best regards

 Knut Yrvin
   
 I very much appreciate the work Trolltech/Nokia have put in to the 
 Qtopia release and the support which they have shown for the Freerunner 
 project and open-source mobile in general - thank you, I always enjoy 
 reading your posts on the mailing lists.
 
 I have a couple of questions - I read somewhere on the Openmoko wiki 
 that (to paraphrase) enough of the Qtopia release is open-source that 
 you can run it on the Freerunner without the proprietary components. 

Qtopia is 99.8% completely open source. Only some proprietary DRM 
components are not available. But who wants DRM anyway?


 I 
 know Qt has gradually migrated to open licenses over the course of 
 history, 

It was not really gradual at all. Qt has been GPL'd since Qt 2.2.

 but what is the current licensing status of the Freerunner 
 Qtopia release? 

GPL.

 How much is open-source and how much is proprietary? 

Qtopia on the Neo is completely GPL.


 And 
 if I can finish with a horribly vague question, how much of the 
 open-source component of Qtopia is contributed back to the Openmoko 
 project in a usable fashion (i.e. do the open-source components rely on 
 a proprietary component

None whatsoever.

 [or Qtopia-specific feature such as writing 
 directly to framebuffer] to work and therefore are only open-source in 
 the context of Qtopia development, or are they totally portable to 
 ASU/FSO with little or no modification?)

Yes.

 This is more or less my wish list... So what will be in?


   
My hardware wish list after owning the GTA02v5 for a week or so now:

- A fast, dedicated graphic bus
- GPS/uSD interference problem fixed
- A case WITHOUT BEVELS for the touchscreen. Despite what the iPhone 
fanboys have been saying, I actually like the idea of a resistive touch 
screen rather than capacitive, as it allows you to use a stylus. This 
means you can maximise screen real-estate by having smaller icons etc. 
if you wish, but still use your finger if you prefer smudgy screens ;). 
Also, I am loving the Qtopia handwriting recognition which I couldn't 
imagine using without a stylus!
- HW echo/GSM interference canceling, unless this can be addressed 
sufficiently in software
- As you say, a place to store a small stylus. The main benefit (besides 
cost) of using a resistive touch screen is the ability to use a stylus - 
it should be assumed that people will be using one.
- Longer battery life.

As I read it, the Neuros hardware isn't that good. It'll only record  
standard-definition stuff from composite input, which altogether is  
about the least-optimal scenario for quality of video input. It'd  
probably be fine as a simple way to recording a VHS to a digital file  
to play on your iPod or PSP; this analogue hole overcomes the legal  
issues of DCSS when ripping a DVD, but that's about the only benefit  
(and a nebulous one, IMO). I guess it's simple for your granny to use.

As I read it, the Neuros hardware requires a set-top box for  
recording TV, again with these concerns over video quality. It looks  
like Neuros may be concentrating on doing things this way because  
they're chiefly interested in this TI DSP chip, but for the rest of  
us there are lots of proper set-top boxes and digital video recorders.

If you want an *open* set-top box that'll actually directly record  
digital TV then MythTV is much more interesting. You can find plenty  
of small, quiet PCs that are just as good as Neros' cute little box  
for living room use, and with MythTV you can record hi-def.

There are lots of ways you could converge Openmoko and MythTV.

Already you can connect to a webserver on your Myth box and schedule  
a recording (say if you're in the pub and your friend tells you I'm  
videoing the first episode of this series which starts tonight - it  
looks cool). Last time I checked (6 months ago?) progress was well

 I'm a huge Openstreetmap fan but until OSM is ready for routing this

That's probably true _if you drive a car_ (though even for that it can
be a handy help, especially in areas that don't happen to have lots of
turn restrictions, though you of course don't want to just blindly drive
listening to it anyway).

Us others want navigation too and are considerably less hampered by
OSM's current lackings. 'course, there are other projects than TangoGPS,
but it seems otherwise nice so one would like it to include this as
well. As long as I'm not coding it, it's not my call, of course :]

PS: Kudos for your work and all, but with all your hyperbole, jumping to
conclusions, accusations of lying and stuff, you might want to take a
step back for a breather if you want, you know, people to bother to
listen to you instead of just wanting to rant wildly.

 physically on the screen, whenever someone is downloading something

Great idea, but might be hit or miss on GPRS networks.  e.g. O2 in the
UK seem to block ALL incoming connections to GPRS devices, only allowing
outbound ones from the GPRS device.  Bit of a pain in the application I

 myself using up 99% of space after doing an 'upgrade'. I would like to
 install a bunch of python modules to run pyroute (has anyone has any luck
 with that so far?) but I keep running out of space. When I try installing
 the modules onto an sd card, I run out of space there as well. Do python

 appreciated!

I've not tried pyroute yet. I've done the opkg upgrade several times and have 
a number of python packages installed, but I'm nowhere near 99% used. I 
suspect something else may have been eating into your space, but you only 
became aware of it after the opkg upgrade.

Sean:

Ad homen attacks aside, you need to respond in public to Marcus's

application for OpenMoko, and if we loose it, then we substantially
weaken the platform, you should think very carefully before burning
that bridge.

I don’t think it was helpful for him to insult you, I guess he was
angry, but regardless his points about getting a working platform now
are important. You want to build up a community around OpenMoko, from
which you hope will flow lots of useful applications. You where very
successful in doing that before the hardware was released, but now that
it has, and thousands of enthusiast have put down a months rent on a
unit of hardware there is widespread frustration.

None of us expected an iPhone like polished and fully integrated
software stack, but we did expect a developer friendly platform with
some basic functionality that would mostly work. Instead the software
distributions are forked 5 ways, and none of them work. I am sure I am
not the only person who is disinclined to put any effort into finding
or fixing the many bugs because I have no idea which distributions will
emerge from the mess.

You hope that the community to come up with lots of useful applets and
full applications, to run on the first open cell phone. For that to
happen most people will be 'scratching an itch' The problem is that
they will not chose to use an OpenMoko to scratch that itch unless they
are carrying it with them, which won't happen until basic phone
functionality is working, and most enthusiasts are carrying their
OpenMoko as their personal phone. The Wiki and Mailing lists are
absolutely brimming with ideas, many of which would be quick to code in
a scripting language, but none of this will happen until the basics are
there.

As Marcus says, the staff a OpenMoko need to put FSO/ASU aside for a
while at least and refocus on getting working phone functionality from
OM2007.2 as soon as possible. All the design docs are already there on
the Wiki and have been for 18 months, it just needs implementing. Once
the ecosystem has been started properly you can spend time if you must
on your blue sky projects with their clever design.

It happens both with the AC charger and the usb-cable.

Intrestingly it doesn't freeze the keyboard when using i.e. the terminal,
however it messes up the key-bindings e.g.:

With usb plugged in:
the minus key - outputs a backslash \
the } outputs a ∼

with usb unplugged the signs are output correctly!

Maybe I've *completely* misunderstood something here, but I thought that
the ASU effort was to get an interim phone working asap using the qtopia
apps because they are better than the GMAE ones (is that just a
perception?).  i.e. all the work going into ASU *is* to get a functional
phone.

So my question remains:  why ASU and not OM2007 (GMAE)?

Re: Trolltech/Nokia and QTopia on FR [...]

2008-07-30 Thread Aaron Sowry

 How much is open-source and how much is proprietary? 
 

 Qtopia on the Neo is completely GPL.

   
 And 
 if I can finish with a horribly vague question, how much of the 
 open-source component of Qtopia is contributed back to the Openmoko 
 project in a usable fashion (i.e. do the open-source components rely on 
 a proprietary component
 

 None whatsoever.

   
 [or Qtopia-specific feature such as writing 
 directly to framebuffer] to work and therefore are only open-source in 
 the context of Qtopia development, or are they totally portable to 
 ASU/FSO with little or no modification?)
 

 Yes.

 :)
   

Excellent. Until this constant bickering ceases on the mailing lists I 
will be using and developing for the Qtopia platform which so far seems 
to be setting the pace as far as usable software platforms are concerned.

For those who aren't aware, there is a very good Qtopia SDK especially 
for the Neo architecture available from the Qtopia website.

Many thanks,

Freerunner availability in UK and Europe

2008-07-30 Thread ant
Hi all,

We've managed to secure some more Freerunners from Openmoko, which we expect 
to be shipping on or around 26th August. If you want one, grab it from the 
url below - previously we have sold out within a couple of days of opening up 
the store so get them while you can !

 //henrik

Confirmed with 2007.2 and matchbox keyboard. In minimo if the PSU cable is 
plugged in the keyboard will not enter URLs. When I first tried this with USB 
it worked, but having then connected to the PSU to verify the problem then 
switched back to USB it no longer works that way either. If I switch to the 
terminal the keyboard works as expected with  PSU or USB plugged in. Note 
that 'as expected' includes the known bug that changes some of the keyboard 
input when USB is plugged in. Curiously when minimo was working with usb 
plugged in it exhibited this problem for the first keypress, but subsequent 
key presses were correct. I noted this because t struck me as odd, but since 
it now doesn't work at all with USB I have been unable to repeat it.

 It happens both with the AC charger and the usb-cable.
 
 Intrestingly it doesn't freeze the keyboard when using i.e. the terminal,

 With usb plugged in:
 the minus key - outputs a backslash \
 the } outputs a ∼
 
 with usb unplugged the signs are output correctly!
 
 seems that the usb port/drivers are interfering with the matchbox-keyboard

I experienced the - outputting \ a few days ago and didn't realize it

ASU - startup broken by upgrade?

2008-07-30 Thread Torfinn Ingolfsen
Hello,

It seems that today's 'opkg upgrade' broke the startup on my
FreeRunner (I'm using ASU).
/etc/init.d/rc complain that it can't find splash-write.

Has anyone else seen this?

Further investigation shows that it is a broken link now:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# which splash-write
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# file /usr/bin/splash-write
/usr/bin/splash-write: broken symbolic link to `/usr/bin/exquisite-write.sh'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ll /usr/bin/splash-write /usr/bin/exquisite-write.sh
ls: /usr/bin/exquisite-write.sh: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   27 Jul 23 09:38
/usr/bin/splash-write - /usr/bin/exquisite-write.sh@
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#

Perhaps it got changed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# which exquisite-write
/usr/bin/exquisite-write

Ok, I'll fix the broken link so splash-write now points to
exquisite-write. We'll see if that fixes everything.

Nope, it didn't.. Seems the Xserevr doesn't tart up. Her is the

 many people report this, you should expect the tracking phase to work
 better than the acquisition phase since the signal requirement is
 relaxed by 16dBm.

 
 My experience has proven that this is not the case; yes the fix  
 happens sooner, but if SD I/O occurs during tracking phase, wild  
 errors are still introduced into the GPS signal sufficient to drive us  
 off the map.

I can confirm such experience. Usually GPS track is very good however 
from time to time (usually when tangogps is reading tiles) it looks like 
  it's receiving invalid data and the GPS really goes wild.

I have to admit that the GPS works really well and I've seen Paweł 
Kowalak's track which was awesomely accurate! I hope that those 
tomorrow's patches will make the GPS experience even more enjoyable.

illume keyboard button (was Openmoko on Design)

2008-07-30 Thread Andreas Bogk
Dear community and OM Powers That Be,

I have read the Openmoko on Design thread with a certain alienation. 
I'll try to resist the temptation to pick up one of the many flame 
baits, but even after sleeping it over for a night, I feel inclined to 
comment on the issue here.

First, I think that the complaints of users about the phone should know 
when it expects keyboard input, and automatically bring up the keyboard 
are right.  The work going into this direction is correct.

However, there are situations when a manual override is needed.  The 
automatic detection could be wrong, for instance.  But much more 
important: the user could be in a situation where keyboard input is 
theoretically possible, but not currently desired, because the keyboard 
is taking away screen real estate.  This happened to me yesterday, when 
I was sitting in the train, and reading some code using the terminal 
application.

So, in my opinion, the decision to remove the button is incorrect.  Even 
more so, the strong reaction of the users should have been an indication 
that the decision was incorrect.  It's always a good idea to listen to 
your users.

It has been said that, since OpenMoko is an open project, the community 
has the chance to come up with a different solution.  Now let's take a 
look at what the community (read: folks who actually write code instead 
of participating in lengthy discussions) did, the day the button was 
removed from illume:

http://gitweb.openembedded.net/?p=org.openembedded.dev.git;a=blob;f=packages/openmoko-projects/illume/configure-keyboard.patch;h=589fe53f38afc59be95a13ed67a9f9d1fc452148;hb=HEAD

They re-enabled the feature in their branch, and went on with their 
life.  However, the patch stopped applying this morning, and I had to 
lock down illume to r170.

Raster: if you could make the keyboard button a configuration option, as 
  in the above patch, you'd make me and a couple of other people happy. 
  Thanks in advance.

Andreas

Exactly. You need sdl and sdl-image. I build the ipk myself without bitbake,

Request for Help: SYSTEMS fair 21th-24th October in Munich, Germany

2008-07-30 Thread Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller
Hi all in Munich, Bavaria, Germany (or anywhere else who wants to  
visit Munich in October):

We can get a small booth (12 sqm somewhere near IBM) at the SYSTEMS  
fair in the PERSPEKTIVE OPEN SOURCE area.

http://www.systems.de/
http://www.systems.de/de/Home/besucher/themen/themenueberblick#20135120
http://www.systems.de/link/de/20155618#20155618

For further planning, I need
* people who want to help planning
* people who want to staff the booth
* ideas what to present
* potential sponsors (my company is willing to do some sponsoring but  
probably not all)

Please write me your ideas.

Nikolaus

 Well, i like tangoGPS very much. But it is hardly a comprehensive solution.
 First it's only a tile viewer for online maps. No routing, no offline 
 maps.
 
 I'm a huge Openstreetmap fan but until OSM is ready for routing this
 will take at least five more years, probably ten. 
 
 For all practical purposes the tile pre-caching works well. And in some
 hindsights tiles are far superior to vector data. Have a look at
 maps-for-free terrain or openpistemap terrain maps: no chance to keep
 all this data on a mobile device and no chance to generate maps on the
 fly, not even with a quad-core desktop CPU.

Navit works supprisingly well.
Very well with 'stolen/misused' MapRoute maps. And suprisingly well 
with OSM maps.
OSM germany map is only 73M. No big deal.

But i have to say, the navit build for openmoko is in bad condition. 
(easy to fix)

But you are tight, they solve quite different problems. Navit is far 
better for orientation in cities or for cycling and walking.

 And why i (gta01 user) have to launch gllin via tangoGPS?
 
 Since month there is a script that lets you start gllin on the GTA01
 automatically. I haven't used this button since a long time. There was
 just on user (Bwalack) who convinced me to keep the button a bit longer.
 And he paid for the lunch ;-)

Ah, cool. Have to look for this some time.

 gypsy - yes
 gpsd - no (at least not as it is, maybe as compat interface)
 
 gpsd works well and gypsy is not network capable.

What i don't like with gpsd is that it is so inflexible. Like adding a 
second gps receiver (ok, maybe not very useful) or shutting down the gps 
device while not used.

 Simply using your
 Neo's GPS from your Laptop does not work.

I would prefer a bluetooth bridge. Then many more devices than a well 
pre configured box running gpsd can use it.

 And especially for an
 application like tangoGPS it is inherently broken: every nav-application
 wants to have the raw NMEA and not some preprocessed stuff and the
 concept to only be notified for certain events is nonsense because any
 nav-app wants to be notified about every data coming in. This concept
 just sucks CPU time.

Well, you are probably right. A gpsd compatible data stream should 
probably be available for legacy/more fancy software.

 planet.osm.bz2 is 4.2 gigs now, but that's why there are 8 gig microSD
 cards I guess.  :-)  Of course being unindexed XML you don't have time
 to parse and render that much data.
 
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Planet.osm

That can easyle be compressed to much smaller size for mapping/routing 
purpses.
The osm xml format is very redundant and verbose. I would call it a 
export format not a usable data format for embedded apps.

Re: wrong offset of mouse in landscape mode (and scummvm)

2008-07-30 Thread Evan




dumb question, but just out of curiousity, what version of scummvm are
you guys installing? is it one of the binary packages from the scummvm
website? i'm not sure what packaging formats the freerunner can handle,
and wasn't sure if it could take deb or rpm files, or which package i
should download (or if i'm on the completely wrong track and there is
an opkg install package for it). even if it isn't working perfect, i'd
like to check it out.

  Be warned though Robert that when the screen is rotated, rotating it
back does not restore everything like it schould. You will have to
reboot your FreeRunner then.

I also found a way to get the cursor to display where I click, the
only problem is that when I get too close to the mic-side of the phone
the offset is again introduced automatically. All very strange.

Forthermore: I tested monkey island 2 and it works great!
Only problem is that in this version of scummvm for the freerunner
there is not yet an "esc" button, so I had to ssh in the phone to quit
the game.


btw: nice work (kobedeluxe)

Do you know how this is achieved? I would like to have this for Kobo

  Exactly. You need sdl and sdl-image. I build the ipk myself without

The version from Alessandro (ipkg tree linked on his wiki site) is very 
old, has no .desktop file and icon and crashes when you open the 
destination screen (known workaround).
