GPS wrong longitude

2009-01-08 Thread Nicolas Laurance
hi all,

I've tried several distrib (FSO, SHR) and I have an issue with the GPS

maybe more specifically TangoGPS, don't know

the symptom is :

After the fix, Tango shows me on the correct position on the map
but in the Trip tab the latitude data is completely wrong, more than 1 
degree west


Does anyone have the same issue ?
any idea on how to fix ?

many thanks,

and, oh, happy new year

Nicolas

well, ubuntu has this mid (or what they might call it) port going on --  
but it is based on arm5 while the fr uses arm4.
you could ask them how much work it is to make it run on arm4 ...

Re: Zhone frequent wake

2009-01-08 Thread arne anka
 Thank you for your help and sorry I did not get it the first time around.

no problem.

 After much digging, I found that frameworkd is, in fact, sending the
 correct commands to the modem when suspend is called on the framework.
 The problem on my system was that apm -s was being invoked directly
 in rules.yaml instead if Suspend(). After fixing that, power button
 suspend is working great.

sounds like a bug to me. who created that entry in rules.yaml?

 would be nice to have the automatic suspend working as well.

nour sure about the illume/e thing (i do not use it, the wholöe thing of  
decompiling/recompiling those gui files just to insert an additional  
textfield or so is too big a hurdle for me), but automatic suspend is  
somehow available, you basically need only a rule in rules.yaml, there was  
a thread in december i think.
but so far it seems not very intelligent, ie it might even suspend while  
making a call.

That sounds like a good idea, thanks for the hint. My eee and other machines
all run debian and NM does the same. I think it's geared to usage situations
(like in 90% of cases) where only one network connection is required at a
time, and if a wired interface comes up you probably want to use it in
preference to wireless most of the time.

One of my quarrels with NM is that it's difficult to figure out how to stop
it autoconnecting to, say, the neighbours open wireless that you used for a
couple of days before your own ADSL was installed

I think that may depend on the version, but on the redhat machine I've got
beside me right now, yup, there's a right click edit wireless networks
option.

I also found out that somewhere under ~/.gconf there's a directory for each
wireless network and you can delete those. Less than intuitive though!

Re: stupid networking question

2009-01-08 Thread Thomas Otterbein
FYI:

On my kubuntu (ubuntu with KDE installed by default) using the KDE 
NetworkManager I followed the advices on 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking#Debian.2C_Ubuntu_and_others

but insereted auto usb0 into /etc/network/interfaces as suggested by arne. 
It looks now like that:

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # freerunner
  auto usb0
  allow-hotplug usb0
  iface usb0 inet static
  address 192.168.0.200
  netmask 255.255.255.192
  post-up /etc/network/freerunner start
  pre-down /etc/network/freerunner stop

After a reboot (NetworkManager did not want to play well i.e. did not adopt to 
the changes) I get Device usb0: unmanaged and everything works as expected: 
My FR get's configured by /etc/network/freerunner and my (W)LAN-connections a 
correctly handled by NetworkManager.

I guess this solution solves the issue for Ubuntu and all it's derivates too. 
Probably for all KDE-Installations as it seems that the key is to make the 
NetworkManager ignore the usb0-Interface.

[debian] 2.6.28 kernel problems (was: Re: When will kernel 2.6.24 be replaced...)

2009-01-08 Thread Fox Mulder
Paul Fertser wrote:
 rm -rf staging
 mkdir -p staging
 make ARCH=arm modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=staging
 cd staging
 tar czf ../modules-whatever.tar.gz .
 cd ..
 
 And then scp your modules-whatever.tar.gz to FR and untar to /.

Sorry if i'm annoying you, but now it worked. :)

After i read build how you mentioned i found the problem why no
modules tar.gz were created. The build script needs a second parameter
to create the archive where the parameter can be whatever. I don't know
why this check is build into the script but with help of that it worked.
Second problem was that i had to copy the .config into the dummy
directory and not the linux-2.6 dir to be found.
The problem is that the info on the toolchain wiki [1] is a bit wrong
concerning kernel compiling. So i added a remark with the right steps on
this page.

I updated my fso-frameworkd with help of the patch from [2] and copied
the kernel and modules to the right place. Than i booted with the new
2.6.28 kernel but it didn't work at the first try.

I have a 64MB swap file activated in /etc/fstab which lies on the third
vfat partition of my sd-card. And at the point where the message
activating swap partitions came it hung and showed an error message
after 120sec timeout. So i thought that vfat wasn't working at boot time
and i disabled the swap file.
Next boot goes through and the freerunner started without any suspicious
error messages. After it booted the sd-card was mounted what means that
vfat should work. I had the same problem with the swap file a few weeks
ago with an older andy kernel and i don't know what the problem is.

But after a short test i found a few things that doesn't work anymore.
Don't know if they are related to the fso-frameworkd patches or to the
new kernel.
Openmoko-panel-plugin doesn't start anymore with an error message [3].
The system time was set back to 1 Jan 2000. And the greatest problem i
had was wlan. I could access the eth0 device and it shows all available
wlan stations but i can't use my wpa2 protected wlan with wpa_supplicant
anymore. Iwconfig showed that i should be connected to my wlan but i
can't get an ip with dhcp anymore like with my old 2.6.24 kernel. The
dhcp client always tries and after 6-7 dhcpdiscover it exits with no
dhcp server available.

That is the reason why i'm now back to the 2.6.24 kernel where these
things work. Maybe the userspace tools need a bit more tweaking before
they work together with the new 2.6.28 kernel. Or the configuration for
the 2.6.28 kernel have to be modified to work with my system. I removed
a few unneeded modules (i.e. Android things) and added a few modules but
i don't think that these have to do anything with my problems. :/

I attached my dmesg log. Maybe someone know of any other modifications i
can try to get the new kernel running a bit smoother. :)

Ciao,
 Rainer

I confirm the position on the map (OSM or google) is OK

only the display in the track tab is completely wrong

Yes but it seems that entering both does not do any harm. The networking 
configuration uses the latest statement (allow-hotplug) while stupid 
NetworkManager only looks for auto to release his grip on the devices. So 
both get what they need to work properly and everyone is happy.

 vfat should work. I had the same problem with the swap file a few weeks
 ago with an older andy kernel and i don't know what the problem is.

There was a test report from a user stating that his uSD is unstable
unless he lowers sd_clock. It might be a problem here, as well.

 Openmoko-panel-plugin doesn't start anymore with an error message
 [3].

That's because you use an old unfixed version of o-p-p that tries to
read information about usb host power from /sys nodes that were
changed. I think you can fix it yourself with the help of
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel#GTA02_.2Fsys_mappings_for_andy-tracking_vs_stable
and suggest to o-p-p developers to be compatible with andy-tracking.

 And the greatest problem i
 had was wlan. I could access the eth0 device and it shows all available
 wlan stations but i can't use my wpa2 protected wlan with wpa_supplicant
 anymore. Iwconfig showed that i should be connected to my wlan but i
 can't get an ip with dhcp anymore like with my old 2.6.24 kernel. The
 dhcp client always tries and after 6-7 dhcpdiscover it exits with no
 dhcp server available.

That clearly looks as a regression. I think you should write in
details what problems with wlan you experience along with
wpa_supplicant debug output and relevant dmesg to the kernel mailing
list, where it would (hopefully) be investigated. For me wlan with wpa
(not wpa2) works just fine.

LWN.net reviews android dev phone

2009-01-08 Thread Tom Yates
...which may be of interest to people on this list.  the article is part 
of this week's edition, which is still on paid-only general acccess, but 
users of this list can read the article (without registering) at 
http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/311715/01e7686dee76f148/ (_kudos_ to lwn for 
their send-a-link feature).

some interesting comments about how tied-to-google the phone seems to be:

More annoying, though, is that the phone requires the creation of a Gmail 
account as part of its setup process. The fact that one does not have - 
and does not want - such an account is not relevant. So now your editor 
has an entry in the Gmail account database which will never be used.

That, of course, ties in to why Google has gotten into this exercise in 
the first place. There are many features of the Android platform which are 
designed to tie the user in more closely to services provided by Google. 
[...] It is possible to use many of the features of the device without 
connecting back to the Google mother ship, but it's not the natural mode 
of operation.

anyway, it's there if you're interested.

[FSO-SHR] SMS-Middleware - Need Help

2009-01-08 Thread kimaidou
Hi all

I am trying to use Sms-Middleware
http://code.google.com/p/sms-middleware/
which theoritically allows you to load actions when receiving sms with key
codes. For example : filter sms from your mum, run any shell command , etc.
It is very promising for me, so I tried to install the last ipk on my
updated SHR(testing).

I haven't seen any email to contact the authors, so I hope they receive the
community list.

After the installation, I have 2 new icons on the desktop : SMG and SMM.

SMG : I can load the first one, but I have not understand how to use it. The
only response I get is with the button install plugin. When I do install a
plugin (rpc.py for example), I still cannot view it on the plugin list.
SMM : when I click on this SMM icon on the desktop, I get an error, and
nothing loads.

That is where I am now. Has anyone tried this software ? Is it still under
developpement (I saw the last ipk was released on august) ?

thanks in advance for any help

 Of course it was [1]...
 T9 is quite emblematic for software patents and patents in general:
 someone patents something which is really nothing revolutionary, the
 effort to produce such an invention is really low, but nobody can
 come-up with something similar for the fear of being sued.
 If you look at the patent itself (wikipedia says:
 http://www.google.com/patents?id=PmgCEBAJ) you see it's 27 pages of
 pointless diagrams and 7 pages of a very vague description of how a
 reduced keyboard disambiguating computer.
 At a very fast lecture, the patent might not even apply to our case,
 since it says:
 The keyboard has twelve keys, nine of them labeled with numerous
 letters and other symbols, and those nine plus one more are labeled each
 with one of the ten digits. It seems if your keyboard doesn't have 12
 keys you're safe. I wouldn't be surprised if T2-T26 would be patented too..

More important, the patent is about reduced keyboard disambiguating.
If the keyboard isn't reduced, i.e. it has all the keys, then
that patent doesn't seem to apply.

The illume keyboard aren't missing any keys for example. It only uses a 
dictionary because users sometimes miss. There is no ambiguity at all to 
resolve, only error correction for fat-fingered typing. (T9 does not
try to resolve wrong-key misses) Disambiguating and error correction
is not the same.

Oh, and they mention keyboards. Many phones has keyboards with about
12 keys.  The neo has a touchscreen instead, its two keys are not used
for text input. :-)

 No problem, i'm glad it worked :)
 
 After i read build how you mentioned i found the problem why no
 modules tar.gz were created. The build script needs a second
 parameter
 
 I think it needs a first parameter exactly as described on the wiki.

Thats right. Only the name dummy can also be anything else like
GTA02 or whatever.

 
 Second problem was that i had to copy the .config into the dummy
 directory and not the linux-2.6 dir to be found.
 
 I have no idea where that dummy directory came from :) I'm afraid
 you're misinterpreting the build script. It seems to me that
 instructions on wiki are correct.

I took a closer look at the build script and i'm quite sure that i'm
interpreting it correct.
Maybe the name dummy as first parameter is not very good. In the wiki
it uses dummy as first parameter which is nothing else than the name
of the output subdirectory. But the build script also has a check for a
second parameter with if [ ! -z $2 ] ; then in line 96. And only if
a second parameter is given, no matter what it is, the code between line
97 and 100 for making a modules tar.gz file is executed. But this
parameter is not mentioned in the wiki.

 
 error messages. After it booted the sd-card was mounted what means that
 vfat should work. I had the same problem with the swap file a few weeks
 ago with an older andy kernel and i don't know what the problem is.
 
 There was a test report from a user stating that his uSD is unstable
 unless he lowers sd_clock. It might be a problem here, as well.

Ok, i will try if this helps at boot time.

 
 Openmoko-panel-plugin doesn't start anymore with an error message
 [3].
 
 That's because you use an old unfixed version of o-p-p that tries to
 read information about usb host power from /sys nodes that were
 changed. I think you can fix it yourself with the help of
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel#GTA02_.2Fsys_mappings_for_andy-tracking_vs_stable
 and suggest to o-p-p developers to be compatible with andy-tracking.

Sounds good.

 
 And the greatest problem i
 had was wlan. I could access the eth0 device and it shows all available
 wlan stations but i can't use my wpa2 protected wlan with wpa_supplicant
 anymore. Iwconfig showed that i should be connected to my wlan but i
 can't get an ip with dhcp anymore like with my old 2.6.24 kernel. The
 dhcp client always tries and after 6-7 dhcpdiscover it exits with no
 dhcp server available.
 
 That clearly looks as a regression. I think you should write in
 details what problems with wlan you experience along with
 wpa_supplicant debug output and relevant dmesg to the kernel mailing
 list, where it would (hopefully) be investigated. For me wlan with wpa
 (not wpa2) works just fine.

I hope i find much debug information and will mail it in the kernel list.

This has changed in the last week.  It was taking me a great deal of
time to switch between GTA02 and GTA03 kernel builds, so I changed the
build script to use the O= kernel makefile parameter to keep the object
files and configs for the builds in different subdirs.

http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=aeb4db1b913993a3e06522f13bab79decbd3cdef

This reduces the time needed to switch typically to just 10 - 20 seconds
or so.  It requires the subdir name to be given in the first parameter
as described in the changed build script.

The optional dummy parameter to signal that you want a module tarball
is then the second parameter now.  It sounds like the combination of the
Wiki and the comments and error help in the build script led to you some
kind of hybrid solution, but the idea is you would have a GTA02 subdir
with suitable config and build that with ./build GTA02, while having a
GTA03 subdir with different config and build that with ./build GTA03.

 publish their ideas rather than keep them secret.

Actually, not so ironic: it basically means that rather than keeping
them as internal secrets, they get to lock them in
a government-provided vault.

IIRC, the history of patents is a bit more interesing than people think,
and the end result's paradoxes are not as unintended as you'd think.
But it really should be expected: just as is still the case now (if not
even more), the (potential) holders of big patent portfolio had a lot
of leverage.

Re: stupid networking question

2009-01-08 Thread Stefan Monnier
 It looks now like that:
 
 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback
 
 # freerunner
 auto usb0
 allow-hotplug usb0
 iface usb0 inet static
 address 192.168.0.200
 netmask 255.255.255.192
 post-up /etc/network/freerunner start
 pre-down /etc/network/freerunner stop

 You should only use auto usb0 or allow-hotplug usb0 but not both at
 the same time.

Why not?  auto is the same as allow-auto and nothing says you can't
have allow-toto eth0 and allow-tata eth0 and allow-titi eth0.

So if you have both allow-hotplug and auto for the same interface,
it just means you want to bring it up at boot and you also want to bring
it up when it gets plugged in.

Yes, but you both leave the OpenSource-Factor out. The (K)Ubuntu 
NetworkManager does not accept the allow-hotplug as a sign to keep it's fingers 
out of the interface configuration. The author has only considered auto as a 
possible option (at least I guess it's that simple). So sensible, correct or 
useless - it's the solution to the issue The FR cannot be used under KDE with

[2008.12] Anyone get iptables working?

2009-01-08 Thread Nick Van Fossen

So, with 2008.9 I was using iptables to tether my ubuntu laptop to my 
freerunner's gprs connection.  
But as of 2008.12 I'm getting an Illegal instruction error each time I run 
the iptables command.  

Commands I run on the freerunner to enable tethering after gprs connection:
iptables -v -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

I've noticed that most but not all iptables commands generate the same Illegal 
instruction error as well.  
Has anyone got around this yet?

I've installed iptables, iptables-utils, and upgraded libgcc1 to v4.2.4-r5.1 
from the angstrom repository.

the numbers at the bottom-left of the screen, (12/0) say the gps can
see 12, and is locked on to 0 - it needs to lock on to 4 or 5 minimum
to get a fix

it looks like you've previously got a fix, then turned off the gps and
restarted it. gpsd will often report phantom locations (usually the
last place you were at before turning off) in this situation - even,
as in this case, a decent hdop value (2.6)

you need to make sure gps is on and wait until it gets a fix

Yes but dummy really is a dummy param, it is just checked if it is there

most builds I am not giving that second parameter at all.

Right, part of the gain from this change is that the configs along with
the .o files all live in their little worlds now, so nothing gets
overwritten in ./GTA02 if you build ./GTA03.  I realize that's not
exactly being a problem for most people yet, but it was getting pretty
bad here having to copy over the config and wait 10+ minutes every time
I had to switch to look at something.

Btw, since I have my compiler in a custom location would be useful if
build sourced some local-build-settings file where I could
override compiler path? I can modify the real build script but then
git complains that I have uncommitted changes. I can also copy the
build script to a different name but then I need to constantly keep it
in sync with the version in git.

Re: GPS wrong longitude

2009-01-08 Thread Jim Morris
Yes I get the same problem from the trip menu on Tangogps only.

I get the correct lat/long from my other GPS device and also from agpsui on the 
freerunner.

Looks like it is a bug in TangoGPS.

 hi all,

 maybe more specifically TangoGPS, don't know
 
 the symptom is :
 
 After the fix, Tango shows me on the correct position on the map
 but in the Trip tab the latitude data is completely wrong, more than 1 
 degree west
 
 
 Does anyone have the same issue ?
 any idea on how to fix ?

 The illume keyboard aren't missing any keys for example. It only uses a 
 dictionary because users sometimes miss. There is no ambiguity at all to 
 resolve, only error correction for fat-fingered typing. (T9 does not
 try to resolve wrong-key misses) Disambiguating and error correction
 is not the same.
 
 Oh, and they mention keyboards. Many phones has keyboards with about
 12 keys.  The neo has a touchscreen instead, its two keys are not used
 for text input. :-)

you're right.. what I meant while writing is that, since moko keyboard
is not reduced, it could even suggest words instead of only correct
errors without infringing T9.

 Actually, not so ironic: it basically means that rather than keeping
 them as internal secrets, they get to lock them in
 a government-provided vault.
 
 IIRC, the history of patents is a bit more interesing than people think,
 and the end result's paradoxes are not as unintended as you'd think.
 But it really should be expected: just as is still the case now (if not
 even more), the (potential) holders of big patent portfolio had a lot
 of leverage.

We're going quite OT, but it's a nice talk.

I thought I posted this link to the list, but instead I replied directly
to Raster. On this topic I found quite interesting this book:
http://levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/intellectual/against.htm

Basically, there seems to be no evidence anywhere that patents ever
helped development, in any age and country where applied. Obviously, the
owner of T9 patent are richer then they were in 1995, but in general
they produce more expenses then profits.

NEW PALM - And great news for OM

2009-01-08 Thread Lally Singh
Ok, if you haven't seen Palm's new release yet, it's going to be a
wonderfully pleasant surprise out of the old group:

http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/01/08/ces-2009-palm-press-conference/

What this means: assuming palm doesn't screw this up, and I suspect they won't:

- We now have 3 top-tier consumer phone platforms: iPhone, Andriod, Palm.
- All 3 are Unix based.
- the last two are linux based.

Which already means we're going to see more good things end up in the
linux kernel stack from these vendors.  Less work for the OM
community, as more people are interested now.

But, it also means that the mobile device market is:
- Heating up.  More products, press, and interest
- Growing.  We're not going down the same route as the iPod.  There
isn't a clear market winner, which means it'll grow out
heterogeneously into a large, diverse market.

Those two mean that OM's going to have some incoming interest just by
the other products driving in more customers into the marketplace.

Oh, and did I mention that OM's the only one of the four that's
C/Posix programmable?  iPhone: Obj-C, Android: Java, Palm:
HTML/AJAX/Javascript.

Re: GPS wrong longitude

2009-01-08 Thread Nicolas Laurance

 it looks like you've previously got a fix, then turned off the gps and
 restarted it. gpsd will often report phantom locations (usually the
 last place you were at before turning off) in this situation - even,
 as in this case, a decent hdop value (2.6)
 
 you need to make sure gps is on and wait until it gets a fix

This situation is permanent, I never get good data on this screen.
Even after a hard reboot and waiting for 25 + minutes in open sky ( no 
building, no tree, no cloud)

The position on the map is correct and stays ok even if I move.

I guess, it looks like a bug in Tango

 After the fix, Tango shows me on the correct position on the map
 but in the Trip tab the latitude data is completely wrong, more than 1
 degree west

 Does anyone have the same issue ?

Yes, tangogps 0.9.2 and 0.9.3 have an issue converting between coordinate 
formats in the western or southern hemispheres.  If you use the DD.dd format 
it should display the correct value.

 any idea on how to fix ?

I can send you the patch I sent Marcus back over the summer.  I don't think 
he has bundled a release in a while.


 many thanks,
 and, oh, happy new year
 Nicolas

Steve

what d you mean by 'the gps stuff'?

locations? tangogps? gpsd? gypsy? navit?

or the gps hardware? go to settings, and tap 'GPS'. the text next to
it should change from 'off' to 'on'

then, assuming gpsd is installed and set up correctly, tango, etc.
should be able to use it and show a location

 i am foolishly going through the getting started document. gpsd, tango,

 i hit the gears othe front screen (settings, yes?) and nothing happens

depends which os you're using; the icon for settings in 2008.12 (on my
phone) is kind of abstract, multicoloured and says settings under it.

is your phone brand new? if so, and you haven't flashed a new os, it's
probably running 2007.2. is that correct?

i believe 2007.2 is usable, but more people are using 2008.12,
although there is a community-based fork to continue 2007.2's
development iirc

don't forget to reply to all, including the list, rather than just me

now it is spinning through some bootish looking text ad infinitum. i don't
believe i let it discharge, unlless the power from a plugged in eeepc is
insufficient. it's pretty much either been plugged into the eeepc or the
charger. this is unacceptable. I bought this beast in anticipation of
building an appliance to assist the handicapped. so far, i am markedly
unimpressed and feeling i wasted $400. ( more after i buy a winmobile device

no, that should be enough

the link i sent about battery problems says the charging problems have
been sorted, but maybe is not in stable yet. there are lots of

get the testing branch, with the 2.6.28 kernel

try getting low-level access to the hardware in a winmobile device,

On the Enlightenment Bleeding Edge

2009-01-08 Thread Marco Trevisan (Treviño)
In the latest months the enlightenment world has got many updates, but
unfortunately the distros available for the FR don't provide the latest
versions of the E stack. This is quite normal since they have to share a
tested environment, but it makes so hard to use the latest tools (also
because the e libs have frequent changes).
That's why today I've given to my Toolchain another challenge :P:
compiling E from svn (but following the OE bitbakes configurations)...

After some hours, I got it and I was able to run the latest illume code
in my phone, but without breaking my Om2008.12 installation.
In fact I've installed all my new data to /usr/e17, that's why the
default e installation that comes with Om2008.12 is not touched at all.

If you want to try this too, you could simply follow these steps:
 - extract this archive [1] to / (it will automatically put all the
   needed data in /usr/e17)
 - editing the /usr/bin/enlightenment_start.oe script by adding the
   following code before of exec enlightenment_start $E_PROFILE:
 export E_PREFIX=/usr/e17
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$E_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 export PATH=$E_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
   (you've also to check that your enlightenment profile is set to
illume in /etc/enlightenment/default_profile)
 - mv ~/.e/e/config /dev/null (or to any other location)
 - Restart your xserver with /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm {stop,start}
 - Now you may also configure E, from the wrench, to use the
   software_16 rendering engine (it causes less quality, but more
   speed) and a lower framerate value...
 - if you prefer, you can also use an illume theme coming with SHR or
   Om2008.12, simply put it in ~/.e/e/themes/illume.edj

Ok, now you've a fresh install of Enlightenment running instead of the
default one (that can be resumed with a simple rm -rf /usr/e17), but
nothing more... However I didn't made this effort just to get the newest
environment (also if I'd be able to :P), but my final wish was giving a
try to ewww and libeWebKit [2]!

In few words webkit is going to support the EFL toolkit and Gustavo
Barbieri wrote a nice first implementation of this library in the ewww
(test?)browser.
Since the day I saw the announcement I wanted to try it in my phone, and
after that I got webkit compiled I had been able to see ewww in action:
[3], [4], [5]! Also if it's very young, it's so nice: very light, fast
and supports natively (thanks to the efl) the finger scrolling (that,
unfortunately, is quite slow :|)!

However, to try this too :P, you have just to extract to / this archive
[6] that will put to /usr/e17 the ewww data and the libewebkit library.

To run it (I was too lazy for adding a .desktop file :D):
 DISPLAY=:0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/e17/lib /usr/e17/ewww

I think that this could really become our browser in a near future...!!!

Soon, I'd like to give a newer try to guarana and enjoy (not forgetting
the latest elemetary stuffs!)... :P
Bye... ;)

Re: Neo / FreeRunner 'stand'

2009-01-08 Thread Christopher Friedt
Hmm...

This is all starting to sound surprisingly similar to a 'dock' ...

Here's a question for the USB / Power experts out there:

Assuming such a dock was constructed, that provided a powered USB hub,
is it possible for the Neo to simulatneously

1) run in host usb mode,
2) control a USB peripheral, e.g. keyboard, and also
3) to charge the battery from the powered USB hub

?

 can have it manufactured at a place like http://www.shapeways.com/

 At the moment I'm waiting to get some help to get started,

  Maybe it's a good 'extra' to include int the box for GTA03 :)
 
  Nokia has had a 'desk stand' on their internet tablets
 since the N770.
 
  In the mean time, I'm sure I can work out something using a small
  triangular piece of wood, crazy glue, a slice from my girlfriend's
  yoga mat, and velcro :)

Re: On the Enlightenment Bleeding Edge

2009-01-08 Thread The Digital Pioneer
OK, I changed out the illume.edj file, but I still have a nasty icon set,
and three apps (Contacts and Settings and pythm) have no icons. How do I
revert back to the old icons? Also, in the startup config, I told it to add
mplayer to the desktop (just to see what it did) and it does nothing (I
assume it runs mplayer, but what good is that??) so how do I get rid of that
icon? It's not in /usr/share/applications. :(

so i try manually starting the x server with:

2009-01-08 Thread Harry L. Lee
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm start
 the openmoko please wait screen comes up for a second, and it drops
back into the adcady (or is it adcrdy?) loop. seems like some package
that could be installed using opkg  could fix it.
this apparently also broke resolv.conf
my unix is rusty, i'll need to read up on the startup scripts
