Freerunner GA02, 8GB SD for sale Boston area
I am reluctantly selling my GA02 because I have realized that a smartphone displays text that is too small for me (too vain to wear glasses fulltime, will buy a netbook instead). Phone is in excellent condition and includes all original goodies that came with Group Sales phone: - stereo headset - 512 MB SanDisk micro SD - pouch - stylus/pen/flashlight/laser pointer - USB cable - 120/240 V charger with international plug adapters - classy box with Taoist verse In addition, I will include 8GB SanDisk micro SDHC. I will flash with any available distribution or original 200807 factory distro, your choice. Everything looks and works like new. Will ship anywhere in USA free. Asking $350.00, will accept check, money order, or Paypal. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: PIM software (was: Back to the basics: improving user experience)
I used kdepimpi on my Linux Zaurus and found it very full-featured. I primarily used the datebook app. I keep hoping someone with more skill and time than I will port it to FR. It was built on top of Qtopia so it shouldn't be that formidable a task. -- Craig ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Found what is a fatal flaw today when I received a call forwarded by Grand Central. For these calls, I need to press "1" to take the call. I can get to the keypad but then the erroneous and redundant "missed call" window pops up and makes it impossible to proceed. I'm hoping this will be an easy one to fix.

Re: Debian fails to boot after some reboots
There is a problem with suspending causing the partition table to be corrupted on the SD card. There are some workarounds that seem to prevent this from happening, but I don't know whether they apply to Qtopia.

So if some modification I make on FSOM goes upstream then > next releases will catch his own modificati To the extent that FDOM is a base system plus a select set of packages, it should be possible to define a "task" package that would consist of a bunch of dependencies on the desired set of packages. Since you (David) also fixed some packages, if a separate script could perform those fixes, then the "task-fdom" package followed by downloading and executing the "fixup" script would presumably get you to the same point. Not a trivial task to do all of the above... One thing missing is that you test with the versions you use; relying on the current versions of packages from the repositories would likely break some things. -- Craig ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Stable Distro Recommendation for Business trip
In my non-exhaustive testing of FSO, I have found that daily builds generally have significant issues, so unless you are installing a FSO milestone release, then I would not recommend FSO. I think FSO milestone 3 should be appearing soon, so do check it out before you make your final decision. -- Craig Allen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

FSO 20080812 not recommended
This is personal opinion only, I have no special connection to FSO. The 20080812 build has these issues found in a brief trial: - no sound (no ring on incoming call, no sound in or out in call) - no suspend - no config I understand that daily builds are not expected to be usable. I am just trying to save other people the trouble of finding these problems themselves. -- Craig Allen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: New Qtopia-Images fixes suspend problem nearly complete!
There is another problem that seems to plague not just all the OM kernels but other projects (OLPC in particular, who have been trying to solve this issue for a couple months) - the SD card partition being trashed after a suspend/resume cycle. My assumption is that this a problem with the Linux kernel and that eventually a fix will emerge and several projects will cheer. So while it's a plus that basic phone services work after suspend/resume, I still cannot use my FR as a music player nor for GPS, since I want both music and map files on my SD card. But the phone services on Qtopia are an improvement over the alternatives. >> I tested a few minutes ago with my Neo Freerunner the new qtopia image >> (4.32-080808) which was released yesterday.

Re: Problem upgrading ncurses
I believe that '-force-overwrite' allows the upgrade to proceed without necessitating an uninstall.
