THANK YOU RADEK! So it looks that for some reason I lost the screen calibration - on-the-go.. I will add this to the FAQ, just in case someone faces the same problem..

I get a 'no network' notification and only the AUX and POWER buttons respond... Usually a reboot (with the debug kernel) solves the issue for me, but it's far from ideal. I'm running v19 from NAND btw, so I always boot from uboot. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/QTMOKO-Dead-UI-tp4765718p4772746.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [QTMOKO] Dead UI
to confirm user experience, I flashed the no-debug kernel initially and experienced a similar issue - no GSM, and no response from the initial menu. I reflashed with the debug kernel and I have a working QTMoko phone again :-) Russ On 20 March 2010 19:54, Radek Polak wrote: > Risto H.

Can you please try flashing debug kernel, so that we know it's kernel related or some other problem? As for calibrating - this should do it: ssh to_neo source /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env qcop service send Launcher "execute(QString)" "calibrate" As for X: ssh to_neo Xglamo vt4 (or try vt7 if it does not work) X should be up, now: ssh to_neo export DISPLAY=:0 xterm You can also try installing input-utils package and check if touchscreen is generating events: input-events 1 Hope something helps. Anyway we need better 2.6.29 kernel. The debug one is slow but i think everything works there very good. We should find out which debug options can be disabled while everything still works. My nodebug config for v19 was probably too much trimmed. It would be nice if someone could figure out which debug options can be disabled. It would involve building kernel according to: http://github.com/radekp/qtmoko/blob/master/doc/txt/debian_rootfs_howto.txt disable one or more debug options, build and flash it and see if all keeps working. Another way is to move to 2.6.32 report bugs and try to get kernel people to fix them.

You could give the v18 kernel a try (it's 2.6.32 with nodebug i belive) and if it dissapears we'll know it's a kernel issue. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Sometimes the UI works, but it disconnet totally from GSM, and i need to restart QT. After 2 or 3 soft restart, it works. It's not a good workaround but for me it's the only method to use my FR with QTmoko (v19 nodebug) as my everyday phone (with some trouble). -- Andrea ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I am running the same setup as you are and it's working okay but so far I can't figure out how to fire up the recalibrate app. I'll post if I do though.

[QTMOKO] Dead UI
Hi there! qtmoko v19, debug -kernel, qi, freerunner Most of the things were fine until noon today, when something happened. No, I didn't install anything, didn't upgrade, update, change any config, nothing. Something just happened. qtmoko starts normally When I touch the touch screen, the screen light comes on, but no menu or icon reacts. AUX & POWER work as expected. hexdump -C /dev/input/event1 showed that touch is recognized, so it shouldn't be hardware. Being able to run Debian normally confirms this. Have been rebooting wishing this'd disappear, but no. Ran apt-get dist-upgrade and dpkg-reconfigure -a with no success. Someone suggested that I should recalibrate the screen - how do I start the calibration software from command line? Someone suggested I should try xev. How do I start X from command line? Someone, please help... :/ r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
