 Hello kind members of Openmoko mailing list,
 
 I'm suffering from a very bizarre wake up problem related to the Neo
 Freerunner phone.
 
 The phone wakes itself up after being powered off a few hours later
 (e.g. if I shut the phone off before going to bed when I wake up the
 phone is already switched on).
 
 I thought at first this was a hardware problem related to the battery,
 but this doesn't seem to be the case as it has happened on two different
 phones after setting reminders in the QtMoko calendar (using v26).
 
 Unfortunately, even after removing the reminders the phone still wakes
 itself up. I'm wondering if it is possible to clear all data causing the
 phone to wake up.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Alon.

Hi Alon,

Are you sure the phone is completly shutdown e.g. did you issue init 0 from 
a console or ssh session?
I'm currious if the phone  could wake from init 0.
You can try to clear the RealTimeClock by using the rtcwake command, if that 
is available on your phone.

Kind regards,
Ed

Hello Ed,

The phone was definitely off. After switching it off I verified by
booting into u-boot via power and AUX buttons and selecting power off.

Are the wake up settings cleared by removing the battery (e.g. for 10
minutes)?

I'll test switching off the phone via the init 0 command from a
terminal. rtcwake is available (in QtMoko v26) - is there a specific
command I should use to prevent the phone from turning on when shut
down?

Thanks,

Alon.

ideas for a personal cluster with gta04

2012-05-21 Thread joakim
In the spirit of the recent ideas threads here, I'd like to share my
ideas that I would like to achieve with the gta04, as part of a larger
system. I wrote it in an article format, and it isn't finished, but
nothing ever is. So here goes.

** introduction
I'm interested in free client - server clusters, with wearable nodes,
and laptop nodes.

Free software is pretty strong server side, but somewhat weaker on the
client, especially small systems such as phones. It should be possible
to leverage the server side strength on the client machines.

Since a server is part of the equation, complexity can be offloaded there.

The idea is somewhat like an instance of the Google or Apple
stack, but personal, running on your own servers, and geared towards
making it possible for you to do what you want rather than generating
ad revenue streams.

** concretely
Okay, so what does that mumbo-jumbo translate to in practice?
Concretely I'm working on a Puppet server manifest, that describes all
the services one might want to use on the server, and matching client
software that runs on the phone and/or laptop.

Since the point is that you should not need weeks to set all this up,
I make concrete choices. These will not appeal to everyone, but are of
course open for discussion.

*** flatrate 3G/4G
The internet connection is assumed to be flatrate. It's pretty cheap
here in Sweden anyway. The connection must of course still be assumed
to be intermittent.


*** Fedora
I'm used to Fedora, so I will use that for a base operating
system. 

*** Puppet
Puppet handles the configuration. Puppet can be used on most
distributions. 

*** Nagios
Nagios is used for monitoring, so a competetive uptime can be
achieved.

*** Single sign on
The personal cluster consists of many different services. To make them
more integrated, the 389 ldap server is used to provide a shared user
database, and the different services are configured to authenticate
against the 389 instance.

*** Dovecot IMAPD
Mail is important to the personal cluster. Dovecot is a good imapd. It
is lightweight, yet featureful.

*** mapping/location data
open streetmap maps. 
A gpsd on the client feeds the cluster with location data.

*** instant messaging
irc clients on the laptop or phone uses the server as gateway to other
systems. Bitlbee is used for the proxy. znc fronts bitlbee, which
handles the connections and logging.

*** social networks
A private diaspora instance is used as mediator.

*** voip 
linphone is used on the client, and asterisk on the server. 

*** camera
All photos are uploaded to the server, and things like bar code
scanning etc. can be made server side.

*** woodchuck 
Woodchuck is a system to handle a mobile cache, when the connection to
the cluster is down.
http://hssl.cs.jhu.edu/~neal/woodchuck/

*** server side transcoding 
many media formats on the web are not really suitable for mobile
applications. The personal cluster handles this by downloading and
transcoding the media server side, and then making it accessible to
the client.

 You are right, bitterness is what I feel. Why ?

 Coming to an end with my rant, 50% may be my personal bitterness, but  
 50% are in some way true. The fail of Openmoko is the proove.

Very well justified and open and transparent mail. Big thanks for your
frankness, and best of luck in your complicated business.

Re: Phone wakes up after being powered off

2012-05-21 Thread urodelo
My phone has always suffered for this weird bug too. No matter which  
distro I use, if I turn it off, even by taking away the battery and after  
some minutes putting it back, after some minutes the haunted fr goes back  
to life. This is especially a botehr when you have an alarm set on qtmoko  
and didn't use it when the alarm should ring: it rings once the os is up  
and running; it's a bother when you turn off the pphone and go to sleep  
and then it wakes up and begin to ring for the old alarm


Sorry, I didn't find any solution. You can check old msg on this ml,  
others (included me) have reported this issue.

Re: Phone wakes up after being powered off

2012-05-21 Thread alonivtsan

 Hi Alon,
 
 Funny, i never known that it was capable of waking from power down, i always 
 wake from suspend.
 There is no need tot test the init 0 scenario, powering down from u-boot is a 
 real powerdown.
 Anyhow, rtcwake has a mode disable, which should disable the RTC alarms.
 See man rtcwake for more info
 
 Kind regards,
 Ed

Hello Ed,

Thanks for your replies.

Unfortunately the man command doesn't work with rtcwake on the phone
(but does with other software, e.g. 7zr). A specific command to try
would be very helpful. On the desktop running as root rtcwake -m show
shows the alarms that are on (but this command does not work on the
phone, specifically on QtMoko v26).

I noticed the issue regarding the phone turning itself on was reported
in Android on Freerunner's bug tracker here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-on-freerunner/issues/detail?id=24

trevi55 suggested to switch off alarms and update hardware clock. I'll
try this (using echo -e W\n  /var/spool/at/trigger).

Alon.
