There's an application that comes with QtMoko called QX. QtMoko runs
entirely off the framebuffer by default, but QX is sort of like having
the X Server inside an application. You choose a command to run in QX
and it just works.

 Yes you really have to rebuild Qi, the ubifs command line is hardcoded there
 and you need to change it to jffs2 command line.

Why is it that I can already boot, for example, Hackable1, which uses
jffs2, with my current version of Qi, but I can't boot a jffs2 QtMoko
without making changes to Qi then? What is the difference between
Hackable1's jffs2 and QtMoko's jffs2?

Also, installing QtMoko to microSD would theoretically fix all of this, right?

 Can I just download a source tarball instead of using git to check it

Hm. Oddly enough, I tried exactly that (flashing the kernel to u-boot,
then reflashing qi, the kernel, and the rootfs all to their correct
places), and I'm still getting the same panic. Right now I've got
Hackable1 running because it was jffs2, but I'd really like to run
QtMoko on my Freerunner. I was able to flash the QtMoko ubifs image a
few weeks ago and it worked, so it's odd how nothing seems to be
working now.

Out of curiosity, why was the switch to ubifs made? Can jffs2 images
of QtMoko still be produced? I'm kind of hesitant to try the v26
release because I'd like to have the latest version for my Freerunner.
What exact changes would I have to make to my tarball, and how would I
go about changing bootloader arguments?

I'm not sure if I have Qi installed correctly, which may also be the
issue; I flashed it successfully to u-boot, but when I boot while
holding AUX to get to DFU mode where I do my flashing I still see
U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 at the top and *** BOOT MENU (NOR) *** as a
header. Should I be seeing Qi instead?

Any ideas about the above issues?

Re: Kernel panic on Freerunner QtMoko boot

2012-11-20 Thread Harry Prevor
Oddly enough, I am still getting this same UBIFS kernel panic even
when I successfully flash a JFFS2 image I made of QtMoko onto the
Freerunner. I made the image by unzipping the .tar.gz rootfs from
SourceForge into a folder and then running mkfs.jffs2 -r
qtmoko-rootfs/ -p -e 0x2 -o qtmoko-debian-gta02-v48.jffs2 on the
folder. I then ran dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D
qtmoko-debian-gta02-v48.jffs2 and it seemed to have flashed
successfully, but I still get that darn error on every boot. I've also
tried unzipping the .tar.gz into my ext3 uSD card, but it didn't seem
to do anything either. Is there any reason that this should be
happening? Are there any officially released non-UBIFS rootfses that I
can use for the Freerunner? What specifically would y'alls reccommend
to debug / fix this?

Ten general QtMoko and Debian questions

2012-11-10 Thread Harry Prevor
I just aquired a Freerunner, and after checking out the list of
distributions on the wiki I've narrowed it down to Debian and QtMoko.
I'm leaning toward QtMoko but I'm unsure about a few things:

1. What are the advantages to using QTMoko over Debian on a Freerunner?
2. I like that it is built for touch by default in QtMoko but would
also like to fall back to a desktop-like environment when needed (i.e.
something like Openbox that isn't optimized for touch); this is
possible, no?
3. Does QTMoko offer all the software in the Debian repositories?
4. Can I install a different window manager than the default one if wanted?
5. Are there any glaring software limitations regarding the Freerunner
that QtMoko has that Debian doesn't?
6. They both use the same kernel, right?
7. From what I've seen it seems like QtMoko is being more actively
developed than Debian on the Freerunner currently; is this true?
8. If I prefer the debian-unstable packages can I use that repository on QtMoko?
9. If I were to upgrade to a GTA04 at some point, would the transition
be any easier on one distribution than the other?
10. Is either distribution more thouroughly tested with the GTA04 than
the other?

Thanks ahead of time for the answers.

e[sho]ternal usb networking problems

2009-01-17 Thread Harry L. Lee
i run ubuntu gutsy, i 've tried every approach in the usb networking doc,
except udev, and i can find no combination that gives me a wifi connection
to the Net (not  optional) AND usb connection to my freerunner. i'm planning
on thrashng at 8.10 on my netbook monday. at this point, i've basically
decided to throw up my hands and buy a g1 in 2 weeks on the logic that it is
actually a supported product. all i really want is working wifi on the
freerunner, which does not seem much to ask.

Re: so i try manually starting the x server with:

2009-01-09 Thread Harry L. Lee
sorry. i have no flippin idea what i'm using. it was new out of the box 2
days ago. i've done an opkg update and an opkg upgrade. i have not
consciously upgrade from what it came with. i think i'm still using 2007.2
it is still spinning through bootish looking text where every third line
says adcrdy. if you google adcrdy, you find there are more than a couple
people out there suffering the same pain. when i press power, you get a
slight change, there is a line that says onkeyf or onkeyr and it looks a
little different if you hold it. i can get to openmoko via ssh, but if i do
anything that fires up x (the pretty opening means x, correct?) my
resolv.conf gets hosed. it fires up x briefly when you reboot from the
shell, then you get the good bootish text, then the pretty screen for a
minute then i get the bad bootish text, which starts with angstrom spelled
out in big letters made out of letters, and then  the adcrdy infinite loop.
 it took about 6 hours to learn that, sorry i was hoping that as it was
happening someone wouldsay well of course, you did xyz! abc will fix it!
someone named newkirk was very helpful in solving the opkg .conf problems.
his fix, by rights, should be integrated into getting started. and thank you
newkirk.

I have noot been able to get to uboot for a couple reasons: first and
formost, it ignores the power button. secondly i have only one working hand
which makes pressing two buttons in aco-ordinated manner problematic.
ideally it seems there could be a program you could invoke at shell that
would reboot you into the uboot environment.
I'm sorry if i'm disturbing y'all, but this, apparently is support for this
product. i purchased this product in no small part for health reasons, so it
is important to me it work reliably expect me to keep making noise until i
get it working, at which point i will act as a resource for the next guy.

 most of the problems you might encounter should be solved already, or at

  THE OTHER WAY ROUND!
  sorry for yelling, but you seem to repeatedly miss the point (which is
  perfectly normal, considering the amount of time you fiddling with this
  now ;-).
 
  HOLD AUX.
 
  PRESS PWR.

 I can do this one handed as follows:
 Grip the phone with the middle finger on the Aux button and thumb on power.
 The index finger is on the top, slightly towards the gold coloured socket,
 and the pinkie is between the headset socket and the speaker grill. Holding
 the base of the phone (the end with the hole in) against your chest will
 make
 pressing the Aux button easier.

 Press and hold the Aux button, then press and hold the Power button. When
 both
 have been down for ~2s the Aux LED will flash and the phone will vibrate,
 but
 keep holding the buttons until the menu appears on screen.

 If you mess up the button presses you may get an unresponsive phone. Don't
 worry - remove the battery for a few seconds then replace it, wait ~15s
 then
 try again. It can be frustrating when you start, but once you get the hang
 of
 it it's very easy.

battery is not flat. is my thinking correct?
I have completely bought into the idea of reflashing to get to a clean

[2007.2 fr] boot prolems

2009-01-09 Thread Harry L. Lee
first off, I am a person with disabilities: my left arm does not function.
pre-stroke, I had extensive experience as a developer/engineer in both
corporate and FOSS environments. a few falls over he past year convinced me
i needed to have a cellphone for a lifeline.i already carry a pda in my
shirt pocket, so i need a phone that replaces that functionality, and in
2008, i moved my personal computing environment to strictly FOSS. i have
lusted for a freerunner from the first i heard of them. at christmas, i was
given enough money to allow me to obtain one. (I live on a fixed and limited
income, $400 was a major investment for me.) it came tuesday. (I had
pre-read the getting started page.) i charged it for a few hours then
slogged through getting it hooked up via usb, then slogged through doing the
updates, which did not go well all (but that's another issue for another
time.)

suffice it to say fr is now in a state where it has no xserver, and
endlessly scrolls error messages on the display resulting from the mishmash
created by the botched update process. i can access a command shell on the
fr via ssh. i can wget so dns is working, as is acccess to the Net as a
whole.

however I cannot successfully press and hold aux then press power to get to
the boot menu.

i'm pretty creative about solving you only have one hand problems, but i
haven't been able to beat this one. before you try to tell me just do
this, pleas try your method with your left (more accurately, non-dominant)
hand in its pocket (you'd be amazed how many things you use both for without
realizing.

it seems there should be a relatively simple software based solution to this
problem. the boot menu is just a program, somewhere (I assume in what a
dinosaur like me would think of as) the computer's memory space. it would
seem if you knew where it was, you could use a debugger to jump to that
location and begin execution. it would seem a shell script could accomplish
that, or even a small binary executable. if some om zen master could either
point out why that wouldn't work, or whip up the appropiate tool, i''d be
eternally grateful.

tnx! I got an 8gb uSD in anticipation of all this. i also have a 16, but i'm
loathe to put it in. not quite as shiny as ubuntu is ubuntu doing anything
formal in this space? certainly,i'd prefer to live on debian in the absence
of ubuntu. from what i read fso is debian based. i'm thrashing on which to
install next. on debian i've seen conflicting install methods. evidently
there are flashable versions, as well as versions that do what I think of as
a net install. i'd like to try both  the flash method seems the shortest
least painful approach. i'd also like to get my uboot problems resolved.
what uboot does one use for debian?

 There's actually a Debian based distro (using dpkg  apt rather than opkg)
 called Hackable-1 that is under development at the moment that installs to,
 and boots off, the SD card (needs 2GB or better).

 http://www.hackable1.org/

 This might be more what you are familiar with.   The developers are working
 on
 making it dist-upgrade'able at the moment, but for now just repartition
 your
 SD card, install the tar balls from the site, join the user list and wait
 for
 the announcement that dist-upgrade'ing is working.. ;-)

 Pros:

 - Debian! apt-get! shiny! ;-)
 - Excellent audio quality (for outgoing calls at least)
 - Abiword
 - TangoGPS
 - etc

 Cons:

 - No method for suspending yet
 - Battery meter and apm non-functional with default kernel
 - Drinks battery (no suspend!)
 - Can't import contacts into the PIM application (Evolution data server)

 Personally I'm dual booting my Freerunner now with Qt Extended 4.4.2 in
 flash
 as the work-a-day phone and Hackable-1 off the SD card as an experiment.

 cheers!

harshness

2009-01-08 Thread Harry L. Lee
so i'm trying to install fdom, so i read ahead a couple steps and decide i
need to be sure i could get to the boot menu. (I have a disability,  only
one working hand, so anything involving the pressing of 2 buttons
simultaneously is problematic.) is there a way to force it to boot into the
boot menu from an ssh session? if not this would be a nice,and i believe,
simple, addition.

2009-01-08 Thread Harry L. Lee
now it is spinning through some bootish looking text ad infinitum. i don't
believe i let it discharge, unlless the power from a plugged in eeepc is
insufficient. it's pretty much either been plugged into the eeepc or the
charger. this is unacceptable. I bought this beast in anticipation of
building an appliance to assist the handicapped. so far, i am markedly
unimpressed and feeling i wasted $400. ( more after i buy a winmobile device
to replace it. with all of M$ problems, winmobile devices pretty much seem
to function as expected.

 hi,

 Thanks to the generosity of Harry of openmoko, there will be a group sale in 
 Taiwan for sure.

 If we can collect 10 piece, then we could have the 10-pack price. But even if 
 we can't , they would still accept the order.

 One that are interested in Taiwan, please send an e-mail to [EMAIL 
 PROTECTED], and specify the amount of the phone, debug board(DBoard), and 
 spare packs that you want, along with your name and phone number.

 I hope it could be done fast, so the due date will be 8/17. Than I'll send 
 the order to openmoko.

 I don't have such group sale experience yet, so mail me if you have any 
 concern or question want to ask.

That makes me a bit curious-- when I looked more than a month ago, only
TRIsoft took pre-orders of the FreeRunner, and Pulster didn't; or at
least I couldn't find any indication.

So I ordered a FreeRunner from TRIsoft.

Does that mean that I get my phone later than Pulster customers?  What
does it mean for me that TRIsoft is not an official Openmoko partner?

As I said, just curious...

Groetjes,

Re: UK Distribution

2008-05-23 Thread Harry Tsai
Yes, people come from truebox, they are talking to me about become 
distributor in UK, I still waiting for their decision for build up real 
business relationship with openmoko like Pluster Germany and IDA system 
India.
I am expecting Truebox can help us to promote Freerunner in UK, if 
people ask me their position that I will say I hope they are my partner 
soon but so far they still aren't  in my list yet.


Hope my reply is clear for you all.

I was going to post this under the European Distribution thread

We will be selling the Freerunner in the UK. The details are still  
being worked out, but if you register we will keep you updated as  
things change.


https://www.truebox.co.uk/trueboxportal/index.php?wk=OpenMoko


   One thing that's unclear is whether the European distributors, such
as yourselves, will be selling the 10-packs as well as single phones,
or whether those are only coming from OpenMoko in the USA. Are you
able to give an answer to this question at this point?
  

Indeed.

I'm not sure if the group sales thing is going to work in my area,  
and the £20 saving of the 10-pack doesn't bother me too much, but I  
do want the headset and whatever goodies are available as part of  
the 10-pack. I'm almost tempted to buy a 10-pack myself and whack the  
other 9 on fleaBay, but I don't think my credit card would stand it.


If Truebox can offer the goodies then I'd love to purchase from them  
- 420 Silbury Boulevard is just down the street from me, in fact, so  
it would be easy to collect my Freerunner the *moment* it arrives.  
I'll pop in for a chat tomorrow, Alastair, and scrounge a coffee from  
you.


Stroller.



Things are unclear at the moment, as you say. When we have some solid details 
we will post an update. In the meantime I would rather not speculate.

I'll take the collection, chat and coffee part off list.

|
| afaik there will be 2 possibilities:
|
| - order at the openmoko us based webshop.
| - pay in us$
| - pay the (to europe quite high but not unusual) higher shipping fee
| - if not in the us: pay the VAT/sales tax of the target country on

| - use a CC (currently JCB, VISA, MASTER. _no_ AMEX afaik)
|
| - order at a local distributor
| - pay the local currency
| - pay for shipping if you do not pick it up yourself
| - pay the regional tax/vat of your county directly with the device and
| shipping
|
| so the bottomline is: us customers as well as worldwide can very 
easily
| order directly at openmoko. but if you do not want to have the 
hassle of

| warranty, buy at a local distributor.
|
| i guess due to the shipping costs its cheaper and less hassle to order

Re: Official Reseller

2008-03-22 Thread Harry Tsai

Dear Edwin and Community,

First, about Pulster and TRIsoft problem ...

I made decision to work with both parties, I allowed TRIsoft to start 
pre-order business when I met them in Cebit.
Besides, Christopher, he is my first partner and we had real business 
relationship for GTA01, actually he had stock for GTA01 and help me to 
promote it since end of 2007, I do believe we have press to mention 
about this stuff last year in CES.


So, they all are my partner and also are my friend, I told Chris, keep 
going the business and have fun with Openmoko, any argument is boring 
for me.


We will release our update partner list and our price policy soon, 
Openmoko will have more and more business partners in near future.
Make business simple and easy is my philosophy, I hope my answer is 
helpful for you. :-)


Openmoko Harry


Edwin Lock ??:

Hello World, Hello Steve!
Considering that Neo Freerunner phones can be preordered now at 
TRIsoft[1] I (and several others) are wondering if TRIsoft is the 
official reseller for Europe? This question has arisen because 
Christian Pulster has claimed that an agreement between TRIsoft and OM 
inc. is non-existant[2] and bases his status of an official reseller 
on a press release[3].
The question is: Who is correct? Has there been an agreement? Or is 
this just another case of miscommunication?

I would be pleased to get an official answer from an employee.
Regards,
Edwin Lock
