Re: Network Manager
Hi Mickey, Uh Oh... we have half a dozen of MIPS machines in OpenEmbedded. Building all that stuff could have been done by: MACHINE = mtx-1 DISTRO = openmoko bitbake networkmanager Thanks a million for your tip, I will have a try. :) Cheers, Alex ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Network Manager
Hi Stefan, Long time no see. :) I think it's easy to develop a daemon talking with NM to manage the networks. But most important thing is to merge NM into our devices, because NM depends on many packages like: libnl, hal, udev, dhclient, wpa_supplicant ... That is the point where a good build system comes into play. OpenEmbedded handles this for us. I hope you don't build all the stuff for your device by hand. Yes, I did it by hand, because my device is based on MIPS. I have no idea how to setup OE to support MIPS. :-[ I wrote a little Makefile to build GLib, DBus, HAL, UDEV, Libnl ... NM, it works just fine for me. :) In addition, though NM-0.7 has a clear framework, but it's not ready ATM :( Well, have you tested it at least? I'm using SVN rev 3202 of the NM daemon here for some months now. I run SVN r3506 or NM-0.6.5 on my device. They are NOT work so good as my expected, maybe I miss something. It allows me to connect to wired ethernet, open wifi, WEP wifi, WPA wifi and WPA2 wifi. It is not SVN HEAD but runs pretty stable. You mean on your PC or GTA02? Of course I'm also waiting for a 0.7 release, but having all the API changes in mind, coding against 0.6.6 makes no sense. Anyway, glad to see you're starting such project, Hope can share some idea with you :) To elaborate a bit more on enlazar. It is not a daemon. It is an UI for NM using EFL written against a given product spec. The major work goes into e_nm, a convenience library inside e_dbus. There are also more ideas how to improve NM itself on mobile devices. For example keep the wifi connection down most of the time and react on network requests of applications. Like pppd dial on demand. But that are just ideas right now. Yes, it needs many effort to improve NM for embedded device. So if your device uses EFL enlazar could be interesting for you. Or better e_nm could be interesting. If you don't you EFL, enlazar gives you nothing extra. Sorry, What's EFL e_nm? Thanks so much for your comments!

Re: Network Manager
Hi Tick, In fact we have a project doing such thing, and we are very welcome you join us. :D Cool! Will be great to share experience with you.

Network Manager
Hi All, As we know, there are many ways to access Internet in GTA02: - wired:usbnet - wireless:wifi, bluetooth - GSM Is there any daemon or framework OM uses to manage these networks as NetworkManager on PC right now? We are developing a portable media device with usbnet wifi support, I am planning to use NM-0.7 or to develop a daemon for managing the networks. Any idea or comments?

Re: No Android on the Neo1973 - Only MyPhone left
So, to get Android running, you need a processor with ARM v5 ISA. I.e. A gumstix with its XScale processor (Both PXA255 PXA270 should work). Anyone fancy having a go at putting Android on their MyPhone? Hi All, I am trying to get Android running on my motorola A1200E (based on PXA270) today. And now, the init has been running and framebuffer entered graphic mode from text mode. But screen is flashing intermittently, looks like phone is trying hard to load Android VM without successful. Do I miss something? Can anybody give me some tips or has interests to research together? :-) BTW, which fb mode is VM running? My phone is 18BPP, (and I tried 16BPP, seems framebuffer cannot enter graphic mode from text mode).

Re: Keypad for fingers, not stylus
It might be worth reusing/reimplementing SCIM or other multilingual dictionary system (http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html) instead of T9. I have used SCIM with Gnome on Ubuntu Linux to convert pinyin to mandarin. I think SCIM also plays nice with X, and I assume it would not be too difficult to make it convert number-speak to English. So, the hardest part would probably be building the dictionary, and getting the whole thing to build and fit on the phone. AFAIK, there is a Linux Mobile-Phone design house uses SCIM for thier product in China. In fact, I plan to port SCIM to openmoko after openmoko runs OK on my A1200 or I get a Neo. :) And a good news is I remember Sean mentioned in ML that Openmoko development team has an input method expert. ;) Alex Zhang ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It gives me the following error: GLIB WARNING ** Gstreamer - Failed to load plugin: Opening module failed: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstivorbis.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have installed the ogg- support package and the libgstivorbis.so is there in the /usr/lib/gsteamer-0.10 folder.

Re: test message
Me too, cannot get message from all of openmoko lists too. I don't know what's happen. Maybe the maintainers can give us an answer! ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
