Re: Broken Freerunner - repairable?
[cut] True! You have to open it, unplug each internal cable (display unit, maybe something more) and clean everything with alcohol, flux remover or something similar. While using alcohol on LCD screen be careful. AFAIR LCD module is one-piece type, which means it is not designed for disassembly, so if water got between layers of LCD module, it might be difficult to clean it. Also LCD is most sensitive for high temperature. First clean all electronics, and check if that helps. If not, then start cleaning LCD. Just search this list archives. There were many topics about disassembling LCD module. -- Patryk LeadMan Benderz Linux Registered User #377521 () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I'm going to try alcohol on the mainboard soon, but for the LCD I might go to some phone repair shop... Didn't know that LCD was sensitive to temperature, so you might have just saved me trouble :) Cheers, rhn ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

[QtMoko] How do you manage your free space ?
Hi folks, my operating system is on the internal memory, and all my data (maps, music) are on a 8Gb micro sd card. But if I want to install a standard Linux application with aptitude (something like tangogps for example) it will take almost all my free space (~100mo IIRC) because of dependencies. How do you manage your free space ? Did you put a part of your system on the micro sd too ? If yes which one ?

This can help a little, because many data of additional packages is stored to directory /usr First, I'd recommend using an fstab line instead of a symlink. It's a more standard method of joining filesystems on different devices. If one cannot allocate a separate partition for /usr for some reason, it is advisable to use a bind mount (man mount, search for bind mounts) as an fstab line. It should be checked, however, whether the system is able to boot correctly, when configured in any of these ways (including one with a symlink). According to FHS, it must be able to boot, but things might have been broken accidentally.

navit in QTmoko: Map don't follow actual position
Hallo, I try to run navit on my freerunner. - QTmoko v35 - navit Version: 0.2.0~svn3501+dfsg.1-1 I downloaded and installed a OSM-Map for Germany. I see this map and can zoom and pan but ... My problem now is: The map is *not* centered on my actual position from GPS. I tried to configure some vehicle-Tags in /home/root/.navit/navit.xml vehicle name=.. profilename=car enabled=yes active=0 source=gpsd://localhost gpsd_query=w+xj follow=3 But on navit's gui I only see the default DEMO-Vehicle which has no GPSD-source. Can someone send me an example for a working freeruner-proved 'navit.xml' or a vehicle-Tag that follows GPS? How can I test, that navit gets the actual position from GPS-deamon? -- Frank ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
