Re: [Debian] Auxlaunch

2008-10-19 Thread Ben
Hi,

thx again Aliasid, but I've got troubles with DMS :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./auxlaunch -dms
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ./auxlaunch, line 246, in module
auxl = AuxLaunch(sys.argv)
  File ./auxlaunch, line 130, in __init__
[dmsLbl, dmsImg, dmsCmd] = load_from_dms()
  File ./auxlaunch, line 228, in load_from_dms
app[pair[0]] = pair[1].strip('')
IndexError: list index out of range
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

And I'm asking if the most interesting way is not to create a
middle-hand for a special menu (configured in .auxlaunchrc).
For exemple, on window :
 - left-hand == choice of menu
 - middle-hand == app of the menu
 - right-hand == switcher

And put in .auxlauchrc, something like :

M1=System App,/opt/myicons/system_apps.png,
M2=Games,/opt/myicons/games.png,
M3=System Fonctions,/opt/myicons/system_fonctions.png,

M1,XTerm,xterm,/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm-color_32x32.xpm,
M1,Rox,rox,/usr/share/rox/images/dirs.png,
M2,codebreaker,codebreaker,/opt/myicons/codebreaker.png,
M3,Suspend,apm -s,gtk-media-pause,
M3,Cancel,(cancel),gtk-cancel,
M3,Quit,(quit),gtk-quit,

Is it possible ? Maybe the 3 divisions will be too much ? And if the
name of the top button division is under the icon ?
I really don't know how to make that, sorry ..

Otherwise I've made a patch for AUX hide/unhide (thx
matchbox-keyboard-toggle) c.f. patch-auxlaunch_hide
Sorry if the code is horrible I really never code in PyGTK and haven't
a lot of time for it, but that works.

 Ben, thank you for your comments! I just finished adding a command
 line option (-dms) to add launch items from the Debian Menu System.
 (Note that it only uses DMS entries that specify needs=x11.)
 
 Also, I made changes based on your suggestions. I added a -right
 command line option to swap the button columns. And, I added code to
 attempt full-screen mode. (I'm not sure this works since I run the
 Matchbox window manager where every window is full-screen). The AUX
 button currently unhides Auxlaunch. I'll investigate causing it to
 also hide Auxlaunch. As always any input is welcome!
 
 The top level icons (keyboard activiate, battery level, etc) are
 displayed by the really cool openmoko-panel-plugin (see link
 below). It is a very helpfull tool. Besides power and GSM status, it
 shows/hides the keyboard and controls Bluetooth, GPS, and USB. It is
 essential in Debian, IMHO. I think there's now a Debian package to
 help install it.

 with Auxlaunch. A screenshot and download link is at

 At first, it minimizes and waits for the Aux button to be
 pressed. Then, it pops up full screen and shows 3 large
 buttons. You use the up and down buttons to change the top
 button. Press the top button and the selected app starts.
 You can configure the choices by editing the .auxlaunchrc
 text file. I added an item for Suspend (apm -s), too.

  If the MPU is master of the CPU, then when it is bricked a lot of

 Should have mentioned that I have flashed microcontrollers for various
 projects that I am doing, so this was just meant for people who are
 used to this sort of thing rather than end users. I think you would
 probably want to leave MCU updates to the distributors or people who
 have done this sort of thing before and I suppose you would need a nano
 boot loader if you wanted to flash the MCU from user space (if
 microcontrollers that small will allow you to rewrite the flash from
 code).

Indeed this is the method we follow for microcontrollers that may need firmware 
upgrade after deployment. the controller itself has a small boot loader that 
can only be modified with a hardware programmer. This basic boot loader can be 
used to flash the firmware that acts as the Linux boot loader.
Of course, this may require that the USB port be multiplexed so the 
microcontroller is connected to it at boot and the main controller takes over 
later.

¿May I suggest the image being a virtualbox one instead of vmware? Virtualbox 
is quite fast as well, and there are free (as in speech) versions available for 
all major distros. Only problem is that the open source does not support usb

Only free vmware nowadays are the player (no snapshots ability) and the server

It does not matter whether YOU could do it or not. it's a matter of

drivers - THAT is where Openmoko's resources should be mist focussed,

Basic reliability and robustness resides in a program with which you  
can enter a number and make a call. Once that prototype exists it is  
much easier for the community to extend it to PIM functionality.  
Openmoko can then move on to wifi drivers, Glamo hardware acceleration  
and pairing of bluetooth headsets.

 particular distribution --
 This kind of comes into the Should FSO merge be sped up? debate,

AIUI (and I would be delighted to be corrected if I'm wrong), the FSO  
stuff is intended to provide functions which will allow you to make  
simple DBUS calls  such as get number $var from PIM manager and  
make call to number $var. Once these are complete, writing your own  
applications becomes easy. True the first of these example calls  
requests you integrate the functionality in your own app, but the  
latter makes problems with dealing with the dialler  the GSM chips   
whatever go away. It is FAR more important to provide the community  
with these tools than it is to provide any kind of application that  
utilises them (beyond a command-line version which gets numbers from a  
text-file and operates as a test example). Once these calls are  
available there will be dozens of PIM managers posted to this list and  
being written by enthusiastic Python programmers.

I am not a developer, but i test the images and try to use the openmoko...
My main issue with Openmoko are :

1) Battery life : only 4hrs, and when you charge it, it discharge itself
after a while. I cannot use it as a daily phone :/
2) Basic telephony : the phone should wake up faster than it does now
the time the phone wakes up, rings, and you pick the call, there has been 6
rings for the other party, and may already be on the voicemail
3)Basic text message should work flawlessly.
4) A way to set up the sound and rings ... There is actually no gui for that
5) I haven;t find yet where to activate the PIN or not... I put 1 sim card
that asked for a pin, it work.. I put a another sim card, where no pin is
needed.. it was still asking for a pin... (I had to reflash to solve this
one) but there is no Menu where I could choose, Pin on/off, if pin on, set
up the pin


I do not care at all about any other application. I want a daily phone...
where i can receive, make call, receive and send text message, and have the
phone a day with me, wihotut having to cahrge it every 2 hrs... (8-10 hrs
battery life would be better, with wifi on, gps off)

Until we reach this point, I will continue tu use my dumb phone eeyday, and
the FR will catch some dust on a shelve...

 It does not matter whether YOU could do it or not. it's a matter of
 where Openmoko's resources are best spent.

 If you can't write a PIM app, then you CERTAINLY can't write kernel
 drivers - THAT is where Openmoko's resources should be mist focussed,
 IMO. As others have stated, there is some hardware-level stuff that
 only Openmoko has NDA for. And without working hardware drivers to
 ensure that phonecalls work flawlessly (and wifi, and bluetooth), a
 PIM is irrelevant.

  there are a lot of posts lately completely ignoring the point of
  basics
  and no eyecandy
  I haven't seen anybody ask for pretty-looking PIM applications, people
  seem to be asking for *reliable* PIM applications. I'd call
  reliability
  and robustness basic.

 Basic reliability and robustness resides in a program with which you
 can enter a number and make a call. Once that prototype exists it is
 much easier for the community to extend it to PIM functionality.
 Openmoko can then move on to wifi drivers, Glamo hardware acceleration
 and pairing of bluetooth headsets.

  pim frinst is at it's best part of a middle tier, but rather of a
  particular distribution --
  This kind of comes into the Should FSO merge be sped up? debate,
  as I
  believe the framework has PIM stuff built into it.

 AIUI (and I would be delighted to be corrected if I'm wrong), the FSO
 stuff is intended to provide functions which will allow you to make
 simple DBUS calls  such as get number $var from PIM manager and
 make call to number $var. Once these are complete, writing your own
 applications becomes easy. True the first of these example calls
 requests you integrate the functionality in your own app, but the
 latter makes problems with dealing with the dialler  the GSM chips 
 whatever go away. It is FAR more important to provide the community
 with these tools than it is to provide any kind of application that
 utilises them (beyond a command-line version which gets numbers from a
 text-file and operates as a test example). Once these calls are
 available there will be dozens of PIM managers posted to this list and
 being written by enthusiastic Python programmers.

 Stroller.

[Om2008.9] man pages??? killing events/0

2008-10-19 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm thinking in writing s small script which pops up a box on the FR and
asking for reboot if this proc events/0 run away; the application for
the pop-up could easy be done in Python; how can I ask for the actual
CPU time of a proc? I was thinking in something like 'cat /proc/5/...'
but have no man pages about the /proc layout :-(
Yes, I could use the output of ps(1) like 'ps ax | fgrep events/0 | fgrep -v 
grep'
but may be there is a less consuming way;

btw: Where I could get man pages of the Linux in which is based the FR's
Om2008.9?

TIA

Problems with audio and usb-ethernet

2008-10-19 Thread Gunnar AAstrand Grimnes
Hi all,

I recently reflashed my freerunner to the 2008.09 release. At first
ethernet over usb worked fine, and I think also audio, but after running
opkg upgrade they both broke.

For usb-ethernet: Now nothing happens when I insert the usb-cable.
Flashing from uBoot still works fine though, and when booting into
debian on the sd card usb-ethernet works fine as well, so the problem is
somewhere with 2008.09 distro...

For audio: alsamixer reports:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Is audio and usb-ethernet meant to be provided by kernel modules?
lsmod shows me no modules loaded :(

also modprobe -l doesn't list sound or usb-ethernet modules.

(Nor does opkg list show me them as available to be installed)

Now to work around this I tried reflashing to the daily testing image,
there usb-networking works slightly better, i.e. the PC detects the
moko, but then something goes wrong and I cannot ssh. Also the settings
app is not shown in the launcher, nor is any other application I installed.

Thanks for any help!

- Gunnar

(OM2008.9) Weird death on connecting USB

2008-10-19 Thread Paul
Hi all,

Been running OM2008.9 for a while (from uSD) and that's pretty okay.
Just now however I noticed:
After having the FR on for about a day, I connected the USB cable to the 
PC. The FR screen showed for a moment, went black and remained that way. 
I had to pull the battery to force a reboot.

Is this known behaviour? Will that not happen when I flash the FR with this?

Partitionning separate /home/ floder to SD

Actually that'd be 'ln'... ;)

The solution I suspect Andy is seeking is to alter /etc/fstab:
/dev/mmcblk0p1  /media/card autodefaults,async,noauto   0  0
change to 
/dev/mmcblk0p1  /home autodefaults,async,noauto   0  0

This replaces /home in the filesystem with the contents of the first
partition on the uSD.  (note that if the /home folder already exists that
this will effectively redirect /home to the uSD without touching the
'local' /home, so that if the uSD is removed, corrupted, etc, and doesn't
mount, there's still a /home/root folder, just without everything you
customized and added while on the uSD)

When (if) I get my FR where I plan to retain the same installation
long-term, I intend to carve up the 8gb uSD and have /dev/mmcblk0p3 as
/home.  (partition #2 as swap, #1 as alternate boot)

[Debian] installer script

2008-10-19 Thread Matthew Lane


---BeginMessage---

Hey all,

I'm trying to install Debian on the freerunner using the install.sh script.

I keep getting stuck at Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. and 
then my script exits.  I've tried individually installing, but after the 
install step the script fails to install.


I've added a u-boot environment boot option to lower the clock to 
10,000,000 as instructed on the bug report here: 
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1743


After booting with this option, without going into suspend, and after 
killing qpe:


DASH_BINSH=false SD_PART1_FS=vfat ./install.sh all

The script terminates after the partition stage.  I'm using a SanDisk 
8GB uSDHC card.


I'm using the latest GTA02v5_and_up NAND u-boot.

I think I remember seeing some more instructions, but I can't seem to 
find them anywhere.  Anyone have an idea of how to proceed from here?

One more rotate version

2008-10-19 Thread Fabian Henze
Hi,
As it seems popular these days to publish a custom version of the rotate 
program, I am also going to do it.
After reading the source code of Rui Miguel Silva Seabra's rotate program, I 
found some parts that could be improved and hacked on those. The result differs 
from the original in the following points:
 - No brightness control (Its just annoying)
 - Imo better (and faster) heuristics
 - Fewer errors and false positives (the display won't rotate while the phone 
is shaken around or sth. like this)
 - uses fewer CPU cycles (I have not done much research, because it would not 
even show up in top)
BUT:
 - It still suffers from the accelerometers stop working after a while bug.

I would much appreciate feedback on the program and especially on the quality 
of the code. And I would even more appreciate a better accelerometer driver so 
userland hacks like one by Oscar Casamitjana are not necessary anymore

Re: LED notification

2008-10-19 Thread Denis Johnson
On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 4:53 AM, Jason Cawood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 My reason is because if I suspend my phone then I walk away and return
 to it, I have no visible notification I missed an event unless I touch
 the screen and see if my phone is still suspended.  If I'm not
 constantly touching the screen to make sure it's still suspended and I
 did miss an event.  Then my power consumption just increased and my
 battery life is quickly diminishing.

Andy Green in this thread said that it is possible to leave an LED on
prior to going to suspend. If that is the case then I suggest:
1. Whenever there is an event which requires user attention one LED is
turned on, I suggest the blue power LED.
   Events include:
   a) new unread sms
   b) new alarm
   c) missed call

2. LED stays on until user has confirmed ALL outstanding events.

3. Leave LED lit while going into suspend. This way way if the phone
wakes on call, alarm or SMS and there is no interaction from user
prior to suspend, whenever the user returns, then it will be clear
there has been a missed event.

The only difficulty I can see (without familiarity with all the
frameworks available to us) is knowing if there are any outstanding
events not yet confirmed by the user but I suspect some system level
daemon is required so that no individual user level application like
sms does not have to make decisions or be coupled to other subsystems.

Is this a viable approach ?

Re: Back to the basics: improving user experience

2008-10-19 Thread Stefan Monnier
 Perhaps another idea to lighten the core developers' load...
 Invest a little time (a day or so?) to properly set up a VMWare image
 that can be downloaded by developers that want to help in any way.

I'd much rather that the various parts of the system can be built by
using tools available in distributions such as Debian testing.

Re: One more rotate version

2008-10-19 Thread SCarlson

 Very snappy. It does die pretty quickly.. Due to accelerometer failing?
How can I help test this further. I ran from command line and when it dies
it just stopping writing to stdout. Also, if I re-run it just sits and waits
for stdout. I assume this is the acc. problem that you mentioned above.?

 Hi,
 As it seems popular these days to publish a custom version of the rotate 
 program, I am also going to do it.
 After reading the source code of Rui Miguel Silva Seabra's rotate program,
 I 
 found some parts that could be improved and hacked on those. The result
 differs 
 from the original in the following points:
  - No brightness control (Its just annoying)
  - Imo better (and faster) heuristics
  - Fewer errors and false positives (the display won't rotate while the
 phone 
 is shaken around or sth. like this)
  - uses fewer CPU cycles (I have not done much research, because it would
 not 
 even show up in top)
 BUT:
  - It still suffers from the accelerometers stop working after a while
 bug.
 
 I would much appreciate feedback on the program and especially on the
 quality 
 of the code. And I would even more appreciate a better accelerometer
 driver so 
 userland hacks like one by Oscar Casamitjana are not necessary anymore

 Awesome. I'll upgrade/backup/test at my earliest convenience (prolly a

 I'll let you know how I go.

Thanks!

I have to apologize - I just flashed to SHR to test this and (re)discovered
that busybox's substitute for 'ip' doesn't support route metrics - I've
been installing my own from http://newkirk.us/om/iproute2_2.6.26_armv4t.ipk
in my setup script I usually run after flash and forgotten that important
factor.  I'm pretty sure the older 'route' command substitute in busybox
supports metric, will give it a test run.  

So this solution currently depends on both resolvconf and full
(non-busybox) iproute2.  Angstrom only has iproute2 packaged for Arm9 IIRC.
The resolvconf package (included with 2008.x but not SHR or Raster) is
available from the OM repository.  

Also, if you power up with USB already plugged in, it doesn't bring usb0 up
automatically at first, since udev doesn't emit a 'power plugged in' signal
- it's necessary to unplug and plug back in.  I'll look into triggering at
startup as well.

j

PS - just checked, and busybox-as-'route' DOES support route metric
setting, so I'm going to alter my scripts to use 'route' instead of 'ip
route' and make sure it behaves as expected.  Update tomorrow.


**separately: I think the full iproute2 package should be in the OM build
tree - apart from allowing far more advanced routing controls than
busybox's poor substitute, it includes the 'tc' traffic control command to
give access to the full breadth of the kernel's IP traffic management - of
little direct use on FR as a terminal, much more useful if it's a gateway -
they build bridge-utils, iproute seems more generally useful.  It builds
cleanly under dev toolchain.

 Anyone compiled and running subversion server or even just a client on
their Freerunners yet?
