[FSO] GPS-problems / tangogps in testing-feed broken

2008-08-22 Thread Benito Torres
Hi,

(I'm mailing to this list because I don't know where to post bug reports
targetting the package-management in the fso-{testing,unstable}-feeds.
Is trac.freesmartphone.org the right place?)

My problem: I'm experiencing problems with GPS since an upgrade with the
fso-testing-feed.

After the upgrade neither tangogps (tangogps-fso_0.9.2-r1) nor zhone
(0.0.0+gitr69e029bd85a1caaad4e5d61087836a8e1ea20dcc-r8) are getting a
fix which hadn't been such a problem before (same outdoors place as
before, rather grey weather conditions but not entirely clouded, 30 mins
waiting). 

One problem definitely is that tangogps throwing two TypeErrors which
show that it's having trouble with the dbus-interface[1].

Has there been a change in the dbus-interface which hasn't been followed
in the packages? Is this part of the yesterday on this list mentioned
major frameworkd changes[3]? If yes: How comes they're in the
testing-feed (would expect them in unstable, if at all)?


zhone only tells gps ok[2], so I don't know if it's suffering from the
same problem or just having a bad time with the available gps data.

As the weather is quite bad ATM, I cannot debug further. It might also
be that zhone and agpsui (didn't know there's a fso-compatible version
until a few minutes ago) would show a fix once the sky is clear again
(probably next april... :/), but the tangogps-error probably should be
taken care of.


Anybody else having problems?


Thanks and Greetings, 
 /Ben

 signal sender=:1.3 - dest=(null destination) path=/org/gpsd;
 interface=org.gpsd; member=fix

I don't see this kind of message. Maybe that's due to different
daemon-implementations on different hardware? Also all dbus-paths start
with /org/freesmartphone/ here.

Anyway I'm sure this is an application/dbus-problem as in the meantime I
ran agpsui successfully: 90 seconds for the first fix. But even after
agpsui having a fix, zhone is still clueless -- which can be explained
by agpsui parsing ttySAC1 directly. 

(Interesstingly I can start and stop gpsd to my pleasure without any
changes for agpsui or zhone. What's gpsd for, anyway?)

Manually asking Gypsy via dbus reveals, that the dbus-interface is
broken as it prints the same message that tangogps reported:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freesmartphone.ogpsd 
/org/freedesktop/Gypsy org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Position.GetPosition

Other methods like GetAccuracy fail, too, while GetSatellites
successfully returns an empty array and GetConnectionStatus returns 1.


Could anybody with more insights to the frameworkd/dbus-development shed
some light on this?

Is this a known problem? Should we simply wait for the next package?

And this:

which according to the git-commit-dates is older than the afore
mentioned ipk. For some reason the ipk is not included in the
fso-arm4vt-feed.

After installation of the newer package and a reboot I had to find that
this sadly doesn't help with my keyboard-problem. I'll try a real
usb-keyboard (without that usb-ps/2-converter) before complaining
further, but as both mice (usb and ps/2) now work (funny thing without a

So for now there's more light shed on the issue but the story

Short update, in case somebody is waiting: The adaptors arrived but they

only with fiddling). I've asked for replacement and am waiting for an
answer now.

At the moment ordering this adaptor isn't recommendable.

Thanks!

Most dependencies I already had installed from the °angström-base-feed.
To install your mediaplayer-package I only had to change the
corresponding md5-sum in /var/lib/opkg/base.

Note that the player also works if openmoko-soundsystem2 is not
installed -- even better: no pulseaudio running saves quite some
CPU-cycles. I simply tried that as I didn't felt comfortable with
pulseaudio returning to my moko and so far it works for me. Only the GUI
is buggy and sometimes not responsive, but I suppose that's not related
to the sound output.

On the cpu-hogging: playing mp3s takes constantly ~30% (with and without
pulseaudio). But mplayer also uses 25%, while in OM2007.2 it was around
10%. So maybe this is not a mediaplayer-issue but one of the
sound-subsystem?

 Really?!?  How?  Is there a GUI somewhere, or did you edit the PPP 
 scripts to enter your provider settings?

See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPRS_FSO

The script works flawless here, too.


 I think of FSO as a bear bones linux installation.  It doesn't too
 much, but it's rock-solid, and ready to have new software installed.

So do I and I really appreciate it. What really makes me passionate
about my neo is the possibility to control it completely and know how it
works. FSO gives me much more freedom to make my own phone instead of
fighting with pre-stuffed and fancy but slow, unstable and intransparent
environments. The beauty of KISS proves itself.

The only choice I'm not happy with is enlightenment/illume, which I
didn't make friends with. Binary configuration files is a no-no AFAIC,
and also the complexity of the e-universe (efl, eet, ewl, edje, etc)
makes me frown up to now. (I know this wasn't an FSO-specific choice,
but that doesn't make it better.) 

And a second, following complaint: I'd appreciate some more information
for (becoming) developers on illume (and other components). A wiki-stub,
a 2-lines README and a trivial INSTALL-file is somewhat too little for
the introduction to the new and otherwise poorly documented
windowmanager one shall work with from now on (hints welcome). 
My impression is that all the chattiness of users trying to cope with
the different GUIs drowns the attention for the needs of people willing
to participate more actively. At the moment crossing the gap from being
a user to (seriously, not trollingly) taking part in the developing
community needs quite an efford. If there was a little more help or even
guidance in this (technical howtos, code references, man-pages,
dedicated irc-channels, ...) some energy could be invested more
productively.


But in any way: a big Thank You to you FSO-developers! Your choice to
develop and release(!) this non-distribution opened space and made
things fun again!

  yeah but the distances don't match on a 2 ring adapter. L and R

 I can confirm this. 

Me too. My cheap adaptor from the supermarket (Watson 9612, not found
online) has two rings and connects only one channel (right ear) if
plugged in tightly. When fiddling around and pulling it a bit out
there's one position in which both channels are connected, but this
isn't usable for real life.

On the other hand the wiki says, that the stereo audio adapter for
Motorola MPx200/E398 would work[1]. 

The original adaptor from Motorola has 3 rings[3]. According to this
picture[2], there're also variants with 2 rings, though. Those probably
won't serve for headsets but only for listening.

But to make it complicated I found an adaptor with 3 rings which,
according to the shop's description, yet needs to be unplugged in order
to make a call or answer the phone[4].

As a obvious conclusion this means, that not only the number of rings
but also their position is important. And/or that we might not trust
those webshop pictures too much. (Wow, what a result for one hour
research...)

I think I'll try that 3-ring-adapter sold by handynow.de (link 4) and
post my experience to this thread later.
