2013-03-17 Thread Πρεκατές Αλέξανδρος
i'm looking for linux compatibility with up to x400 or x200 usb microscope.
Any suggestions  from your personal experience?


A serious report i've found is :
http://hermann-uwe.de/blog/using-the-oasis-umo19-mcu003-400x-usb-microscope-
on-linux-via-luvcview
althougth the company oasis doesnt have it list its current products.
And none mentions linux.

Do you want it to work with GTA02? It does not do USB2 which will
severly limit your options I'm afraid.

QtMoko v54 - Some issues on GTA02

2013-03-17 Thread Matteo Zaffonato
I'm Matteo and I'm the owner of a GTA02. I updated Qtmoko on my phone
yesterday using the Flash method. Everything was ok and there weren't any
errors.

When I booted up the phone there were two issues:
- When a call is received there is no ringtone, even if the profile is set
on General. I tried to install codecs from the website of Qtmoko but the
problem persists. Also the Media Player is not ok. I tried to install
mplayer and I was able to listen to a MP3 file.
- When I ran the command apt-get upgrade the upgrade software stopped to
run on setup of libjpegopen (it looks like frozen after 30 mins, but I was
able to stop it).

Can somebody help me?  I use the GTA02 as daily phone and it is problematic
not to hear an incoming call.

Re: GTA02 act as gps mouse?

2013-03-17 Thread Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
Hi,

I'd also like to use my gta02 as bluetooth GPS with Android(Replicant)
devices.

There is an application for that in FDroid(a free software market/google
play replacement that contains only free software):
http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdcategory=Navigationfdid=org.broeuschmeul.android.gps.bluetooth.provider
The application is called BlueGPS

I've tried to make an up to date python application for the freerunner
from scratch...

But my application is not reliable at all:
- it can only be closed by a kill (because of the while True: at the
end), I did the while true because rfcomm was not always reliable at
the beginning, maybe I should restest without it...
- bluez is somehow unreliable and it doesn't always find the adapter.

So to use it, install Fdroid, then BlueGPS within Fdroid.
then run my gps script.
Then do that on the freerunner:
wget
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/plain/test/simple-agent?id=910ffb4ca785da71b670bf105e234435c67fd7fe
-O simple-agent
chmod +x simple-agent
./simple-agent

That will permit you to pair it with android...
you'll have to enter a pin on android and in simple-agent...

Re: WIKI is in read-only mode?

2013-03-17 Thread Dmitry Shalnoff

Hi Radek and everybody,



But one day your GTA02 will stop working - it might fall on the floor or
whatever. GTA04 is only replacement - that's why it's important to support
GTA04 - either by donation or buying the device.


how it connected with the subject?

This is not a reason to move the wiki or close it. This is an open 
source project, the marketing stereotypes (that the new generation 
hardware is the better replacement for old one) just not applicable. 
Just because that targeted to stimulate consumer market for sales, but 
not to give ability to people to create whatever they want.


The potential of the hardware is not equal to the formal functionality 
of device. I plan to use the GTA02 as a core for robotic system, for 
example. Someone else maybe create something else with it (whatever it 
could be). It's logical to keep all data in one well know habitual 
knowledge base. And it's logical to keep it open for new supplements.




Maybe i am wrong but openmoko as company is for years dead and nobody of the
old admins is willing to spend much time on maintaining the infrastructure. I
guess the number of spammers is now 1000x higher the number of contributors,
that's why it's readonly. And it's no wonder that GTA04 has separate wiki
because of these reasons.



I'm as a user of wiki just don't care whether it contains some spam or 
not. I have a will to clean it if I found it, or doesn't if I'm lazy (or 
whatever). This is totally not a point.


Honestly I don't understand the reason to close the access for users 
(who are main audience of the recourse) just to avoid the spam. It's 
ridiculous.

Re: WIKI is in read-only mode?

I wrote to admin (on the address mentioned here 
http://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac), will see for feedback.


Current admin actually shouldn't do anything. Just delegate rights to 
somebody else. I'm ready to participate in this process to, by the way.

There are other folks willing to maintain the infrastructure (such as
me), but it seems the current admins don't have time to do the cleanup
of stuff that is needed before they can add new admins who never
worked for OpenMoko Inc.

 Opening the system info - SIM is showing the SIM ID shows Please wait

 The SIM seems to be working (in other cellphone/ SonyEricsson P910i)!
 The phone is connecting to provider (is displayed in homescreen and also
 able to connect to internet/3G). Make calls is a little bit difficult.
 The call tone is there, but the called phone is not ringing! After hang
 up, the called one is ringing! Very misteriousGTA04 is not ringing,
 too (or later).
 How to solve it?

Maybe can you try deleting some SMS using your other phone, if that helps? Or 
there can be something interesting in log after enabling modem categories.

Hi,
i will try to reproduce it on my GTA02. Are you using the default ringtone? 
Maybe you can try experimenting with other ringtone - if it plays in media 
player it should work also as ringtone. Btw there the older v48 is available 
[1] if needed.

 - When I ran the command apt-get upgrade the upgrade software stopped to
 run on setup of libjpegopen (it looks like frozen after 30 mins, but I was
 able to stop it).

I wonder if there is some space left on the NAND. You can check it in system 
info or with df command.

 Can somebody help me?  I use the GTA02 as daily phone and it is problematic
 not to hear an incoming call.

I think you can use v48 until we reproduce and fix it.

My point was that if there is no living replacement project, openmoko will 
die. The number of users/devs will convert to 0. Sooner or later your device 
will stop working and only replacement will be android/windows phone/iPhone.

 Just because that targeted to stimulate consumer market for sales, but
 not to give ability to people to create whatever they want.

I dont like buying new phone every year. But Freerunner HW is badly flawed in 
a few ways (e.g. Glamo) and this justified buying GTA04 for me.

 I'm as a user of wiki just don't care whether it contains some spam or
 not.

I do - there is a lot of useful information and i dont like that some spam 
machined deletes it.

I do see the point, but usually a wiki has an active maintainer who
will permit new persons to have editing rights, on request.
That is the current difficulty, that no-one has been issued new editing
rights, 
It may be necessary to duplicate the old wiki on a new address.
