TIA Roland The best way is to mount your partition on the home because a lot of sw for the moko aren't coded well and uses always the /home/root as homedir also if you have changed it. Moreover mounting the partition gives you tha ability that if your sd card is gone you can always use your phone with the home in the flash empty dir used as mountpoint. If you want more flexibility mount it with LABEL instead the device name so that if the device name change your home isn't affcted.

[SHR] getting an USB dongle to work
Today, I became an owner of a new shiny USB network device. Due to poor WiFi reception indoors, this is a wired Ethernet adapter. On to the point - the device uses the dm9601 driver, which happens to be packaged in the SHR feeds. However, the driver is not loaded automatically, and doesn't work after manual modprobe depmod. Some research on the desktop showed that dm9601 depends on usb_net and mii. However, these two are not present in SHR feeds. What else should I do to make it work? I'd prefer to avoid recompiling the kernel, but if nothing else works...

Re: uImage.bin v kernel.img
The 'workaround' is correct, that is exactly what the installer does, it erases the correct mtd's and flashes the bootloader (qi.img), kernel (kernel.img) and the rootfs (system.img). The installer also flashes the mtd for the userdata and extracts the userdata.img to the folder /data of it.

[debian] unexpected troubles
Hi there... Is this generally the best place for Debian questions? Or is smartphones-userland better? I've just installed Debian again, and am surprised to be experiencing some low-level problems. Hopefully they are easily fixable. As context, what I'm aiming at is: - Debian - for the best available package management - E17 + Illume - for Raster's keyboard, decent launcher and easy switching between windows - John Sullivan's fso-el - for performing phone functions from within Emacs. I've installed e17, and the UI comes up as expected. I set an overall scaling factor of 2, to make everything easier to read and press. The problems I'm seeing now are: - Load average unreasonably high. Right now, for example, my top says load average: 8.11, 8.13, 8.09. Yet CPU usage is only reaching around 6%. - Emacs never appears, yet can't be killed. E.g. I clicked on the launcher icon for Emacs about an hour ago, and nothing has appeared yet. ps waux shows that there is an emacs process: root 1579 0.0 3.2 25700 3952 ? DNs 17:44 0:00 /usr/bin/emacs23 But kill 1579 and kill -9 1579 seem to have no effect on this. - Battery not apparently charging. I'm using the USB lead from another Linux computer, which successfully charges OM2009/Paroli and SHR. But with Debian there is no + on the battery icon, and no orange (or blue) light behind the power button. - ssh (via USB) not working. The desktop end looks fine: n...@arudy:~$ netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.11.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.11.10.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth0 but n...@arudy:~$ ssh 192.168.0.202 -l root ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.202 port 22: No route to host - shutdown -h now doesn't work, and so I have no way of shutting down cleanly.

No, that's not the reason. With the exception of those built with the new native development kit, apk's (the Android application packaging format) run in the Dalvik VM and are processor independent. AFAIK, the issue with is only missing APIs. Of course, that doesn't make Gmail run any better, but it does mean that apps that are developed using the public APIs and don't use the NDK should run across Android platforms regardless of the underlying processor.

PLEASE DON'T LET IT DIE! After this request, this is my question: I'm using my FR (with SHR - last) as main phone. I experienced sometimes that when I start SHR, GSM functions doesn't start I don't know how can I check any log or how can I start manually GSM services, I type /etc/init.d/frameworkd restart, but I don't know if it's supossed to solve this issue. Can you give me some advices to take in count when I have this problem? What I'm doing was: it happens to me few hours ago, I was renaming icons of the desktop so I can have them in the order I want when I was editing pidgin.desktop I save the file (I was connected via SSH) and got an error message that give me two choices: Restart - Stop I press Stop and it goes to the terminal and hangs on a message: restarting xserver so I power down by removing the battery (I know, the ugly way) and wait a few seconds to put it back again.

Re: [debian] unexpected troubles
Neil Jerram neiljer...@googlemail.com writes: Hi there... Is this generally the best place for Debian questions? Or is smartphones-userland better? I've just installed Debian again, and am surprised to be experiencing some low-level problems. Hopefully they are easily fixable. I'll try addressing the issues that I can: As context, what I'm aiming at is: - Debian - for the best available package management - E17 + Illume - for Raster's keyboard, decent launcher and easy switching between windows - John Sullivan's fso-el - for performing phone functions from within Emacs. I've installed e17, and the UI comes up as expected. I set an overall scaling factor of 2, to make everything easier to read and press. The problems I'm seeing now are: - Load average unreasonably high. Right now, for example, my top says load average: 8.11, 8.13, 8.09. Yet CPU usage is only reaching around 6%. Do you perhaps have a bunch of processes waiting on disk I/O? Maybe waiting to be paged-in from swap? How many processes are in uninterruptible sleep (`D') state? These also contribute to the load-counts, in Linux. What does vmstat say (I usually run vmstat 2)? What are your top memory-consuming processes (in terms of both real and virtual memory footprint)? Do you have a swap partition (or file)? Are you running from the internal NAND flash, or a micro-SD card? - Emacs never appears, yet can't be killed. E.g. I clicked on the launcher icon for Emacs about an hour ago, and nothing has appeared yet. ps waux shows that there is an emacs process: root 1579 0.0 3.2 25700 3952 ? DNs 17:44 0:00 /usr/bin/emacs23 Aha--well, there's at least /one/ process in uninterruptible-sleep state :) But kill 1579 and kill -9 1579 seem to have no effect on this. The signal cannot be processed until the system call that is blocking the process finishes. - Battery not apparently charging. I'm using the USB lead from another Linux computer, which successfully charges OM2009/Paroli and SHR. But with Debian there is no + on the battery icon, and no orange (or blue) light behind the power button. There's mention of issues with APM on the DebianOnFreeRunner Debian Wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner#KnownProblems - ssh (via USB) not working. The desktop end looks fine: While I'm very familiar with Debian on more traditional systems, I'm not all that familiar with it as people run it on the FreeRunner. However, as far as USB networking with Linux on the FreeRunner goes: Is the `g_ether' module loaded on the FreeRunner? Is the usb-ethernet interface configured on the FreeRunner? n...@arudy:~$ netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.11.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.11.10.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth0 but n...@arudy:~$ ssh 192.168.0.202 -l root ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.202 port 22: No route to host What do ifconfig and route say on the FreeRunner? -- Don't be afraid to ask (Lf.((Lx.xx) (Lr.f(rr. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Can you give me some advices to take in count when I have this problem? What distro? - I find this happens to me a lot - so much so that I have a desktop icon named Reset :) Write a script that stops the xserver, and various fso services, kill -9 any remnants such as battget and then restart the xserver which will start the services again. For shr-u, GSM is handled by fso-abyss and frameworkd so make sure they are dead after stopping the service before restarting the xserver. If its properly hung, you will find that things wont shut down cleanly so the kill is often necessary - which would explain why frameworkd on its own didnt work. May take a few goes before it sorts itself out. Occasionally it will be so fu-barred that you will need to remove the battery for 30 seconds to get it to work again. BillK What I'm doing was: it happens to me few hours ago, I was renaming icons of the desktop so I can have them in the order I want when I was editing pidgin.desktop I save the file (I was connected via SSH) and got an error message that give me two choices: Restart - Stop I press Stop and it goes to the terminal and hangs on a message: restarting xserver so I power down by removing the battery (I know, the ugly way) and wait a few seconds to put it back again.

Re: Tips when GSM doesn't work
Hi! I'm having this issue periodicaly. My suggession for this problem is to reinstall some packages with a magic command: opkg install -force-reinstall libgsm0710mux0 libfsotransport0 \ libfsoframework0 libfsobasics0 fso-abyss fsousaged \ libgsm0710mux-config frameworkd frameworkd-config-shr \ libframeworkd-phonegui-efl0 \ shr-contacts shr-messages shr-dialer ophonekitd And after reboot GSM works fine for several days or weeks :) В Втр, 13/10/2009 в 13:19 +1100, Alex (Maxious) Sadleir пишет: 2009/10/13 Cristian Gómez cristianp...@gmail.com: I'm using my FR (with SHR - last) as main phone.
