have you tried to use it as raw storage? (no filesystem)

cat plaintextfile.txt > /dev/mmcblk0p1
less -f /dev/mmcblk0p1

you should be able to read your contents of the original input file.
if you fail to less it on the FR, try the second command on your PC.

try the same directly on /dev/mmcblk0 but this will destroy all your data on 
uSD (partition table &Co.)

have you tried with a whole different fs, like fat32?

Sandisk 16GB SDHC not mountable

2010-10-02 Thread Christian Rüb
Hi,

I partitioned my 16GB SDHC (class 2) card, so I had a 512MB ext3 primary 
partition as /dev/mmcblk0p1, but Qi would not boot from it.
So I booted my NAND system (older SHR-U, 1.6.29 kernel) which shows me correct 
partition with fdisk -l but would not mount it.

I recreated the filesystem with mkfs.ext3 on freerunner but it still would not 
mount it. fsck could not even check the fs:
e2fsck -f -C0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p1

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 

Trying the fsck suggestion to use an alternate superblock did not help either.

I then created a partition and filesystem over the whole disk, but same result. 
No chance to even check the filesystem.

I also tried to switch back from Qi with glamo 242 to the old one - still no 
success.

In my 2 card readers the card does work though.

Does anyone of you have any ideas?

Thanks,
 Christian

Wikireader development - Ideas and improvements

2010-10-02 Thread Patrick Beck
Hello,

i own a Wikireader since a month now and i am happy with the base
functionality, but i have a few ideas and improvements and i am looking
for other users they owns a wikireader (and develeops for it).

Openmoko has not stopped the development of the Wikireader, but i think
it can be useful to have a nice community around the project. Till now i
have only found the following ressources:

http://thewikireader.com/
http://dev.thewikireader.com/
http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader

and see not a list or any other communication - i think the community
list is not so wrong :)

==Improvements:==

- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschland - There is a small block on
the right with information (population, language, capital, etc.) I think
that a very useful imformation - how can we add them to the Wikireader?

- Table of Contents would be helpful to get a overview about the content
of the whole article

- searching in a article could be very usefull

- The scrolling it a bit poor, because you can't read anything on the
screen when you scroll - on the community list was a small patch
discussed: 

http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-December/058462.html

That patch works no more, but from the descriptions i find it very
useful. A new version from maleadt was published in September:

http://github.com/maleadt/wikireader/downloads

It's unstable and not as inuitive as the first path but it is a start
for a nice usability on the wikireader.

==Problems:==

- A other problem is that tables and other special layouts are not
interpreted from the parser. See for example:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kfz-Kennzeichen_in_Deutschland

On the Wikireader you get only a list from 0-9 and A-Z without any
license plates.

So how can we fix the problems and get new features in? I am only a
python programmer but i hope i can help. This Thread should be a
starting point to discuss new features and collect bugs - i think that
should help Openmoko, too.

with kind regards

Patrick
