 On demand network connection is awkward to do in a completely general
way.
 
 When an application makes a TCP connection, the kernel needs to choose a
 local address for this end of the connection.  It chooses that
 based on the IP address of whichever interface will be the first
 hop of the outgoing connection.
 
 If you don't have that interface established, then there is no address
 or route, so the kernel will give up quite quickly - there is no where
 for user-space to hook in and make things work.
 
 One option is to always use a VPN through some base station.
 I think you can get OpenVPN to establish a connection on demand.
 So the kernel sees the OpenVPN interface and sends a packet to that.
 OpenVPN then brings up whatever network can be found and forwards the
 packet over the VPN and on the the Internet.
 
 You could probably set up something vaguely similar that works
 locally without needing a remove VPN server or even a VPN.

What about (which I expect will not be a candidate for an 'official'
solution;)

get frameworkd talking to ip_queue or netlink.  For example, we could:

Create a lowest-priority default route that hits lo, like:
route add default gw 127.127.127.127 dev lo metric 100

use ip_queue.ko.  Write a userspace handler for the iptables QUEUE target.
(It's been a few years but I've written a couple, in c, use libipq - pretty
simple)  The handler will receive every packet that is sent to it with a
firewall rule like:
iptables -A INPUT -d ! 127.0.0.0/8 -i lo -m limit --limit 1/sec -j QUEUE 
iptables -A INPUT -d ! 127.0.0.0/8 -i lo -j DROP

Now whenever another route doesn't exist, the kernel presents outbound
packets to the queue handler. (up to one per second, and unspecified
--limit-burst is 5 - the second rule drops what doesn't get queued)  The
handler gets to tell the kernel whether to accept or drop the packets, in
this case it'd be simplest probably to drop them.  In the meantime,
however, it can tell the network manager (or whatever mechanism) to try to
bring up an interface.  If that's successful then its newly-created route
takes precedence. (providing it has a lower metric than 100...)  

It can also take a moment to examine the packets it's handed and decide -
based on whatever criteria desired - if it really needs to bring up an
interface or not.  Like if it's DNS fire it up, but if it's broadcasts
just ignore it.  (those criteria could be handled in iptables actually,
but others would be harder, the things that frameworkd can offer like is a
voice call in progress? [if so, forget gprs] or am I preparing to
suspend?, etc)

I've never played with ip_queue so I cannot say.  You may well be
right that a solution lies that way as well.
However if I understand it correctly, it relies on the kernel
retransmitting packets after the new routes are set up.  I think that
is likely to introduce more delay that might be acceptable.  As soon
as the link come up we really want to re-introduce all packets that
were captured so that the network seems as responsive as possible.
Though I may be misunderstanding you suggestion.

There is an interesting complication that I was reminded of when I
tried to knock up a quick-and-dirty proof of concept.

An important aspect of any solution is that you need to set up
masquerading (or Source NAT) so that packets from the internal address
get the source address re-written on the way out.
However SNAT mapping are set up when the first packet in a connection
is seen.
So if we capture the first packet of a connection, then set up an
external interface, it is now too late to do source NAT for that
connection.  It can work for new connections without trouble, but that
first connection is stuck.

I think(hope?) it might be possible to use the NOTRACK target in
iptables to exempt all packets from connection tracking until the
external like is up and the default route and been redirected.
I only learned about NOTRACK today and have not experimented with it
so I cannot be sure, but it does seem to be a perfect fit for this
problem.

 
 It can also take a moment to examine the packets it's handed and decide -
 based on whatever criteria desired - if it really needs to bring up an
 interface or not.  Like if it's DNS fire it up, but if it's broadcasts
 just ignore it.  (those criteria could be handled in iptables actually,
 but others would be harder, the things that frameworkd can offer like is a

Yes, being selective about which packets can trigger a network
connection would be a valuable feature.

Indeed. I think this is a very old feature, I remember the good old days of 
dial-up networking using pppoe. There we had something like a connection 
dialog that popped up on demand, which is what we want as well on mobile 
devices.

Does anyone remember which kernel infastructure this on-demand dialling used?

IIRC pppoe (and dialup in general) used the ppp on demand stucture. That is, put
something like:

demand
idle 300

into your /etc/ppp/options file and the dialup will start as soon as
someone accesses
the ppp0 device. After 300s of inactivity, the connection is killed.

 Click your stylus (or finger) at the very top of the screen.  You should

Found it now. Was looking with another person who also knows the Om2008

qwerty on the 'right' side. We were really fooled by only looking on the
left side LOL

 In Om2008.12 it is, in latest unstable SHR, it is not. However the
 keybaord is available when writing an SMS.

 Hi all,

 I've been an FDOM-adept and am new to SHR. I am using it now and this
 distributions holds a lot of potential. I completely understand that
 this is an unstable distribution and it has an issue tracker (which I
 use).

 Nevertheless, I hope you can answer the following some questions on some
 issues, or at least I hope they can be input as a simple test report.
 Excuse me if they contain trivial things or too well know issues:

 1) One of the opkg repositories is non existing, so I disabled it for
 now, see:
 r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ cat armv4-feed.conf
 #src/gz shr-armv4 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4

 Will this repo come on line or is it depreicated and should the
 definition be removed from opkg configuration all together?

 2) The repos have a lot of double slashes (//), see:
 r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ grep \/\/ *
 all-feed.conf:src/gz shr-all
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//all
 armv4-feed.conf:#src/gz shr-armv4
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4
 armv4t-feed.conf:src/gz shr-armv4t
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4t
 om-gta02-feed.conf:src/gz shr-om-gta02
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//om-gta02

 Should these remain like this or is this a no-brainer?

 3) Today (29 Jan 2009) I did an opkg update and opkg upgrade and Mofi
 Wifi hangs when I run it, even before the menu comes up. Is this known?
 What could be a fix? Will wicd be ported to SHR?

 4) Sometimes the scroll bar on the left is gold (see contacts) and
 sometimes it is black (see settings).

 5) Can the vote plugin be installed inside of SHR Trac?

 6) How do I have a virtual Illume keyboard popup for the terminal,
 midori, pidgin?

 7) Will the GPS get an icon which indicates if it is powered on, off,
 and perhaps even the number of satellites it is receiving correctly.

 8) Anyone have a howto, script or some code to the GRPS working?

 Thanks and keep up the good work,

 Pander
 
 1  2 - if it works leave it be...  :)   Seriously, though: the
 double-slashes aren't an issue, and I presume the armv4 feed is the result
 of a typo since other feeds (OM as well as Angstrom) do not have such a
 version, but I could easily be wrong. :)
 
 3 - What SHR version are you using?  Testing, Unstable or Unstable-lite?  I
 didn't think mofi was included in the Unstables, and haven't seen it in
 several weeks so am not able to comment on any problems with it.  But I CAN
 assure you that the difference between Testing (Christmastime release) and
 Unstable (couple days ago) is tremendous.  At this time, given that we all
 understand it's still in development, I have to recommend Unstable over
 Testing.  (that will change of course when the next semi-stable 'testing'
 release is made - but for now, the number and degree of improvements and
 fixes that are still not committed to Testing makes it less functional than
 Unstable IMHO)

I'm using unstable with opkg upgrade. I also managed to hook up with
opkgorg repo and successfully installed eightball.

When you install wicd, you will not be asked to enter your PIN :(
Deinstalling wicd fixes this. Just today a fix was posted for wicd, it
seems the files are installed in python-2.6 in stead of python-2.5. Hope
the developers can have a go at it so wicd can replace Mofi.

 
 4 - This is all to do with the Enlightenment Illume and Elementary themes. 
 There are IIRC two default themes bundled with SHR right now, and they're
 still incomplete, though progressing.  The gold scrollbar is one of the
 'legacy' theme portions that still 'shows through' from the default E17
 theme, while the black ones are the new SHR theme.  (for those interested,
 an Illume theme's .edj file can choose to NOT override any given defaults
 by simply not defining anything - IE if you leave scrollbars unlisted then
 the default is used - personally I'd like to see a new Default crafted
 that's more small-screen-oriented, but as long as a theme is complete it
 works as well)
 
 6 - Sounds like you are using Testing, the keyboard tends to popup pretty
 reliably when needed for me for the last several weeks I've been running
 Unstable.  The presence of the qwerty keyboard button in the top shelf is
 theme-dependant.  (as is the spanner/wrench config button)  Again this
 sounds like Testing, since IIRC both themes in Unstable have both icons.

I decided to try SHR also. I like it. There's no echo! But there are
still some small problems, that are already mentioned in the other SHR
thread. And a few problems that aren't mentioned:
1. If I activate the silent profile, the phone still rings.
2. After using the phone few hours and making some calls the phone
doesn't ring anymore, it only vibrates. After rebooting it rings
again.
3. At some point, the phonelog application just stopped working. It
doesn't start. I didn't do anything and I didn't change anything, I
just made a few phonecalls. When starting it, it gives me an error
saying, that there's no error message. When starting it from command
line, it says:
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number
I thought rebooting wil fix this, but it didn't.


I tried to use gprs using Joel's instructions, but it gives me the error:
ActivateContext failed: org.freesmartphone.GSM.MUX.NoChannel

Reason for this would be that it is clear for the user that the GPS

power usage. There is no other way of finding this out for a normal user.

The gps is on only when needed. It is always off when the phone boots 
up. It gets turned on when you start something that uses it, such as 
tangogps or navit. And then it is turned off immediately when the last 
gps-using app exits.

So you know that the gps is on when you're running some gps-using app, 
and you know it is powered off when you don't. At least that is how it 
is supposed to work.


Tangogps displays how many satellites are in use. It'd be nice to have a 
miniature xgps-like window/icon on the top bar when the gps is in use - 
it'd show the current constellation which is cool and more interesting 
than just the number. But this is just a gimmick, there are many things 
that are more pressing. Such as working wifi. . .

It is doable, hacking the theme. Though we have trouble with the room

Finger friendly scrolling - Was: [SHR] Miscellanious minor issues

2009-01-29 Thread Steven **
If done correctly, the scrollbar is the simplest(easiest to
understand) and quickest way to find a contact.  It is currently
extremely difficult to use the scrollbar in the SHR contacts app.
But, instead of making it always take up extra room, I would propose a
dynamic resizing.  Normally (when not in use) it's small like now.
But if the user touches near the right edge, it should explode into
a much bigger finger-friendly scrollbar.  Instead of just scrolling
the list, it would scroll one letter at a time (with adequate visual
feedback).  Then, when the user removes their finger from the screen,
the list will pop to the selected letter.

How does that sound?

So the contacts aren't scrolled until you press the scroll bar, move to the
desired letter, and let it go? I think it's a great idea. It gets rid of the
sluggish scrolling that's a real nuisance in SHR (and other distros).

Sorry, when I referred to 'single icon image' that was as opposed to
multiframe animated icons. (I realized after sending that this might sound

 look and behave like one from elementary, so I don't agree. It's only
 wasting of space, and there are better ways to navigate than scrollbar
 and finger scrolling (like alphabetic filtering in contacts etc.)

I'm split between camps on this.  I don't want to see scrollbars usually,
as they are either so small as to be ornamental, or so large as to waste
huge swaths of valuable screen real-estate.  But simple finger-scrolling
doesn't cut it sometimes.  For example, I tried to use neon to examine some
image files from the default.edj theme.  Unfortunately that theme contains
400+ images, and the one I wanted was around 360 in the list - I gave up
after about 60 seconds of finger scrolling, somewhere around 'J'.  What we
need, IMHO, is not just alphanumeric jumps, but standardized presentation
of, activation of, and interaction with such controls.  Reusable that way
for file requesters, addressbook, whatever.  Meanwhile, the 'appears on
demand' scrollbar in some Elementary apps looks promising, if only it were
a bit wider so as to be friendly for fat fingers like mine.

BTW - scrolling is made more painful by the theme...  Raster pointed this
out to me - the illume theme in SHR uses multiple layered png images with
transparency for icons, for example. (the button, the icon, the hilight,
the shine, with anternates for disabled or selected states)  Using a single
icon image and toggling (visible when touched) just a single-image frame
behind it, and removing associated fade-in/fade-out animations makes a
significant difference.  Pop open the Illume Config (via spanner/wrench)
and try finger-scrolling the top icon bar right to left - it's a tremendous
difference when everything's structurally and graphically simplified.

[SHR] Miscellanious minor issues

2009-01-28 Thread Pander
Hi all,

I've been an FDOM-adept and am new to SHR. I am using it now and this
distributions holds a lot of potential. I completely understand that
this is an unstable distribution and it has an issue tracker (which I use).

Nevertheless, I hope you can answer the following some questions on some
issues, or at least I hope they can be input as a simple test report.
Excuse me if they contain trivial things or too well know issues:

1) One of the opkg repositories is non existing, so I disabled it for
now, see:
r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ cat armv4-feed.conf
#src/gz shr-armv4 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4

Will this repo come on line or is it depreicated and should the
definition be removed from opkg configuration all together?

2) The repos have a lot of double slashes (//), see:
r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ grep \/\/ *
all-feed.conf:src/gz shr-all http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//all
armv4-feed.conf:#src/gz shr-armv4

om-gta02-feed.conf:src/gz shr-om-gta02
http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//om-gta02

Should these remain like this or is this a no-brainer?

3) Today (29 Jan 2009) I did an opkg update and opkg upgrade and Mofi
Wifi hangs when I run it, even before the menu comes up. Is this known?
What could be a fix? Will wicd be ported to SHR?

4) Sometimes the scroll bar on the left is gold (see contacts) and
sometimes it is black (see settings).

5) Can the vote plugin be installed inside of SHR Trac?

6) How do I have a virtual Illume keyboard popup for the terminal,
midori, pidgin?

7) Will the GPS get an icon which indicates if it is powered on, off,
and perhaps even the number of satellites it is receiving correctly.

8) Anyone have a howto, script or some code to the GRPS working?

Thanks and keep up the good work,

Pander

Click your stylus (or finger) at the very top of the screen.  You should 
get a panel with three large buttons on it.  On the buttons are some 
boxes, a house, and a big X.  Above these buttons on the left is a 
wrench icon, and on the right is a 'qwerty' label.  Click on the

 r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ grep \/\/ *
 all-feed.conf:src/gz shr-all
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//all
 armv4-feed.conf:#src/gz shr-armv4
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4
 armv4t-feed.conf:src/gz shr-armv4t
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4t
 om-gta02-feed.conf:src/gz shr-om-gta02
 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//om-gta02
 
 Should these remain like this or is this a no-brainer?
 
 3) Today (29 Jan 2009) I did an opkg update and opkg upgrade and Mofi
 Wifi hangs when I run it, even before the menu comes up. Is this known?
 What could be a fix? Will wicd be ported to SHR?
 
 4) Sometimes the scroll bar on the left is gold (see contacts) and
 sometimes it is black (see settings).
 
 5) Can the vote plugin be installed inside of SHR Trac?
 
 6) How do I have a virtual Illume keyboard popup for the terminal,
 midori, pidgin?
 
 7) Will the GPS get an icon which indicates if it is powered on, off,
 and perhaps even the number of satellites it is receiving correctly.
 
 8) Anyone have a howto, script or some code to the GRPS working?
 
 Thanks and keep up the good work,
 
 Pander

1  2 - if it works leave it be...  :)   Seriously, though: the
double-slashes aren't an issue, and I presume the armv4 feed is the result
of a typo since other feeds (OM as well as Angstrom) do not have such a
version, but I could easily be wrong. :)

3 - What SHR version are you using?  Testing, Unstable or Unstable-lite?  I
didn't think mofi was included in the Unstables, and haven't seen it in
several weeks so am not able to comment on any problems with it.  But I CAN
assure you that the difference between Testing (Christmastime release) and
Unstable (couple days ago) is tremendous.  At this time, given that we all
understand it's still in development, I have to recommend Unstable over
Testing.  (that will change of course when the next semi-stable 'testing'
release is made - but for now, the number and degree of improvements and
fixes that are still not committed to Testing makes it less functional than
Unstable IMHO)

4 - This is all to do with the Enlightenment Illume and Elementary themes. 
There are IIRC two default themes bundled with SHR right now, and they're
still incomplete, though progressing.  The gold scrollbar is one of the
'legacy' theme portions that still 'shows through' from the default E17
theme, while the black ones are the new SHR theme.  (for those interested,
an Illume theme's .edj file can choose to NOT override any given defaults
by simply not defining anything - IE if you leave scrollbars unlisted then
the default is used - personally I'd like to see a new Default crafted
that's more small-screen-oriented, but as long as a theme is complete it
works as well)

6 - Sounds like you are using Testing, the keyboard tends to popup pretty
reliably when needed for me for the last several weeks I've been running
Unstable.  The presence of the qwerty keyboard button in the top shelf is
theme-dependant.  (as is the spanner/wrench config button)  Again this
sounds like Testing, since IIRC both themes in Unstable have both icons.

8 - I use gprson and gprsoff, one-liner scripts with the following
contents, which can be invoked directly but less conveniently:

#!/bin/sh
#gprson
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogpsd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ActivateContext internet3.voicestream.com x x

#!/bin/sh
#gprsoff
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogpsd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.DeactivateContext 


The last three items when activating GPRS are APN, User,  Pass.  In my
case I'm on T-Mobile's Internet3 (InternetVPN) service in the US, and they
don't care about user and pass so just 'x' and 'x' should be suitable for
any T-Mo:US users.  Many carriers' APNs and some additional details are
listed at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPRS#Some_APN_names_for_reference -
if yours isn't listed, get the APN from the carrier, then update the wiki
to add it. :)

Happily, frameworkd takes care of everything else, so if you have GPRS
service and

D'oh!! That's org.freesmartphone.ogsmd, not ogpsd...
