 Thanks, the g_ether module solves my usb problem.

 But the problem with the touchscreen is so annoying that i can't really
 use it with the new kernel. These few pixels that the cursor jumped
 below the position befor getting to the right position drives me crazy.
 And i can't type on the matchbox keyboard as good as before.

 I wanted to calibrate the touchscreen to see if this helps, but i can't
 find any useable calibration programm.
 I installes libts-bin which provides ts_calibrate, but when i try to
 start it i got an error message saying that it can't find ts_open. And i
 don't know by which package this programm is provided. :/



To calibrate the touchscreeen you must login into your freerunner and
execute following lines:

export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1

then you can start ts_calibrate.

After the calibration restart your xserver

Johannes

 But after installing the new compiled package the result is not exactly

 so maybe your frameworkd.conf overrides these? I'm sorry for not

Better than sourcode editing. :)

 
 This didn't work at all. When i try to compile it with apt-get --build

I think i was missing the debian source repositories. I only have the

I will try it again with these two additional repos.

 Is there a way to change this setting for xfce?
 
 At the moment if you don't run zhone then brigthness won't change
 depending on idle status. You can always send dbus suitable messages
 yourself to control the brightness from xfce. I can lookup the
 required command to do this if you can't figure it out (but I'm bit
 busy right now).
 
No problem. To send these commands manually isn't the way i want to
adjust the brightness. ;)

Re: Debian on the FreeRunner -- a few questions/solutions

2008-08-25 Thread Fox Mulder
I'm playing with debian for the last week and there are some new things
i'm curious about.

First thing is how i update the kernel and modules?
I see that while installing debian it uses this kernel from openmoko:
http://downloads.openmoko.org/framework/milestone2/uImage-2.6.24+gitr0+7a1370a816b9348dd8f36a667905dd3533cefc9b-r4-om-gta01.bin

Now i see that the kernel and modules are updated quite often in the
openmoko repo, but in the sources.list is no update source for a new
kernel. The actual openmoko kernel seems to be
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/om-gta02/kernel-2.6.24_2.6.24+git36+a1e97c611253511ffc2d8c45e3e6d6894fa03fa3-r2_om-gta02.ipk

I know that this is the opkg version and not the dpkg for debian, but i
think somewhere had to be the newest kernel version available for use in
debian, or not?


Another thing is the problem, that xfce always run programs maximized
which can't be changed. I would really like to use normal windows which
i can change by myself to maximized state or not. This behaviour is
shown in the wiki page for manual installation with debian
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manual_Debian
but i used the installation procedure from
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
I think this is just a setting in a configuration file, but i can't find
it. :(


And then i wanted to ask if there is a working way to rotate the xfce
screen like with 2007.2?

For example scummvm isn't useable at all with a resolution of 480x640.
Also for video playback it would be really nice, even if video playback
at the moment is more of a dream for the future when the performance is
getting better. ;)


And the last thing is where i can find the actual state of the
suspend/resume problem concerning partition table corruption of the sd-card?
I completely disabled standby because i don't want to have problems with
my partition table on my sd-card. I found this ticket
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1802
but don't know if this is the right place to look if it is fixed.
Without suspend/resume the phone isn't useable at all as daily phone
because i always have to shut down and restart the neo to spare the
battery. :(

 Rainer

I think is a caracteristic of MatchBox that keep all the window maximzed.

I am using it, and it seem to be good enought if you remember that in
the end is only a phone :)

It you want to change it you have to install xfm, the window manager of
XFCE. (I think than you have to reconfigure matchbox-keyboard)

the fbdev driver used does not support randr. the xglamo does, but it does  
not play well w/ tslib out of the box, someone posted a workaround  
recently making xglamo and tslib play together.
i don#T know how reliable it is and inhowfar the calibration issue after  
rotation is solved.

regarding suspend/resume: i use a 1gb sandisc sd card and have no problems

since it is an om-kernel and markedly younger than the gps fix, i strongly  
assume so.
i had no time to check that little zhone gps thingy yet, so i don't know  
for sure -- but if the rain stops for a while this afternoon, i will check

I hope this problem will be solved in the near future so the desktop is
for better use on the neo.

I read somewhere that the problems were related to sdhc cards somehow. I
use a sandisk 8gb ultra micro sd which means, that this problem is
related to me. :/

I also read that the problems differ if the kernel is booted from the
internal nand or from the sd-card (rootfs is always on sd). But i can't
find any useable info on this behaviour.

 ATM, there are no automatic kernel updates in Debian. Phil Kern has
 tried to build a proper debian kernel package from the upstream sources,
 but it takes a very long time in a qemu builder, so fixing all the
 issues with the build was a PITA. So at the moment, you have to manually
 download the image from http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/
 and put it in /boot.

But when i get the newest kernel from there like

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin

isn't that not just only the kernel?
As far as i know i also have to update all the modules for this new
kernel within /lib/modules/2.6.24.
But i think these modules are only in the corresponding rootfs image

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/openmoko-openmoko-devel-image-glibc-ipk--20080824-om-gta02.rootfs.tar.gz

So should i download this image and extract the modules and replace it
on my local rootfs?

I don't want to update my kernel if i'm not sure if this way is right. :)

am i mistaken or isn't that image w/o modules?
thus, simply copying the uImage.bin will pretty soon send us into a  
situation of modules not loadable, wouldn't it?

how far apart are the formats of ipk and deb?
dpkg is at least able to things like -I and --contents with them, so  
couldn't they be installed by dpkg/apt or converted to deb (extension to  
alien if someone knows how)?

I also use /dev/ttySAC1.
I just activated the gps with the new openmoko-panel, than put the agps
data from ublox into the chip and started tangogps (version from debian
repo).
I got a quite fast fix from the gps and tangogps shows me the location
and i can use it. I didn't try a longer tangogps session, but for a
short test it works good. :)

 Would there be any support for extending this to two profiles, one for
 running on battery and one for when powered externally?
 
 Sounds sensible. Please open a ticket for me (trac.freesmartphone.org).
 
Done. With pleasure.

 ATM, there are no automatic kernel updates in Debian. Phil Kern has
 tried to build a proper debian kernel package from the upstream sources,
 but it takes a very long time in a qemu builder, so fixing all the
 issues with the build was a PITA. So at the moment, you have to manually
 download the image from http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/
 and put it in /boot.
 But when i get the newest kernel from there like

 http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin

 isn't that not just only the kernel?
 As far as i know i also have to update all the modules for this new
 kernel within /lib/modules/2.6.24.
 But i think these modules are only in the corresponding rootfs image

 http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/openmoko-openmoko-devel-image-glibc-ipk--20080824-om-gta02.rootfs.tar.gz

 So should i download this image and extract the modules and replace it
 on my local rootfs?

 I don't want to update my kernel if i'm not sure if this way is right. :)
 
 Have a look what 
 http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/install.sh
 does in the kernel stage. You download the modules from
 http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/modules-2.6.24+git36+a1e97c611253511ffc2d8c45e3e6d6894fa03fa3-r2-om-gta02.tgz
 along and just untar them in /.
 
 I guess this should go into the wiki.

Oh thanks, i just overlooked the modules file in the directory. :)

After installing these modules package and comparing with the original
/lib/modules/2.4.24 directory i see that in the root all the modules.*
files are missing.

I don't know if these files are needed or not so i looked in the
openmoko-qtopia-x11-image-om-gta02.tar.gz file and copied these files
from there to my new 2.4.24 directory.

Before booting i got
Linux IjonTichy 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Tue Jul 29 01:19:38 UTC 2008 armv4tl
GNU/Linux

and now after booting i got
Linux IjonTichy 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Mon Aug 25 01:23:27 CEST 2008 armv4tl
GNU/Linux

But it seems that the kernel changes some things because while booting i
got an error that the usb device couldn't be set up.

Also the touchscreen seems to be a bit different. When i touch a point
the cursor jumps a small bit below this point and than goes to exactly
this point. But the click is recognized at the point below. So sometimes
i missed the keys on the matchbox keyboard.

Wlan and gps works like before without problems.

Someone know how to fix the usb and touchscreen problem?

Does a touchscreen recalibration has any effect for this kind of problem?

The boot log messages show that the usb core is loaded:

...
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb
...

But when setting usb0 up for networking it says no such device for usb0.

 Rainer

I have hear rumor that is has been move to a module. Look for a newly

to modprobe that. If so, add the name to /etc/modules

 At the moment you need to edit the source:
 
 1) apt-get source fso-frameworkd
 2) edit fso-frameworkd*/framework/subsystems/odeviced/idlenotifier.py around 
 line 58
 3) fakeroot apt-get --build source fso-frameworkd
 4) dpkg -i fso-frameworkd*deb

I downloaded, edited and compiled it on my neo. I changed the values to

else:
self.timeouts = { \
IDLE: 1,
IDLE_DIM: 2,
IDLE_PRELOCK: 3,
LOCK: 4,
SUSPEND: 20, \
}

But i don't really know if these numbers are minutes or something else.
But after installing the new compiled package the result is not exactly
what i hoped for. Within xfce and no thone running the behaviour is the
same as before. Ahen i start zhone the backlight dims after ~25s and
gets complete dark and locks after ~15s more.
I can't figure out what the numbers i changed really do and IF they
really did something or not. :/
But i was hoping to change the behaviour of xfce even when zhone is not
running, what is the condition most of the time at the moment. ;)

 ne nice to set the maximum brightness and not always maximum (63).
 
 1) apt-get source zhone
 2) edit zhone*/src/zhone around line 1924
 3) fakeroot apt-get --build source zhone
 4) dpkg -i zhone*deb

This didn't work at all. When i try to compile it with apt-get --build
source zhone i get an error message that some archives couldn't be
downloaded. I only got zhone_0-git20080809.orig.tar.gz and it also wants
the dsc and diff file.
But i think this affects also only the brightness when zhone is running.
Is there a way to change this setting for xfce?

 Then i wanted to use openoffice, what would make me really happy because
 i only use OO on my desktop as well. But after i inetalled it i can't
 start it. When i try to start any OO app i got the following error message

 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line 365:  2088 Illegal instruction
 $sd_prog/$sd_binary $@

 where the second number increases with every try. soffice seems to be
 a start script, but i can't find the problem why it doesn't work. :(
 
 You probably should try openoffice under qemu. If you can reproduce it
 there you should file a bug to bugs.debian.org.
 
 Then i wanted to ask if there exists a recent navit version for debian.
 
 You can create a package easily:
 
 1) wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/navit/navit-0.0.4.tar.gz
 2) tar zxf navit-0.0.4.tar.gz
 3) cd navit-0.0.4
 4) dh_make -s -f ../navit-0.0.4.tar.gz
 5) edit debian/rules and change line that calls ./configure to read only
 
 ./configure $(CROSS) --prefix=/usr
 
 6) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
 7) sudo dpkg -i ../navit*deb

This works after reinstalling quite some dev packages. I only couldn't
apply the fast-map-dragging patch with the svn version 1314. It seems
some files have changed and the patch didn't apply successfull. But the
programm runs and that is quite some success. :)

I hope that the fast map dragging patch will be applied to the svn
repository soon, so everybody doesn't have to do the patching on their
own when compiling for themselfs. ;)

 This quick'n'dirty packaking took only a few minutes but the package seems to 
 work:
 
 http://iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/debian-navit1.png
 
 To create armel package you probably want to
 
 qemubuilder --build navit_0.0.4-1.dsc
 
 since building navit on your freerunner might take a while.

Thats's right. The building of navit on my neo takes quite some time.

Hi, Dabian has old matchbox-keyboard but there are newer and better
working version too. e.g. you can put shifted display=//

I do not know is this The Latest version and I do not know how to use
svn, but this way you can grab 40Mb matchbox code and there are
matchbox-keyboard-folder too. This is only folder you need (if you are
interested in only matchbox-keyboard).

svn checkout http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/matchbox/trunk


And there are patch that allows you change layout on the fly.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574
It is splitted in to five files. And the last one need manual tweaking.
Then you can map a button to layout changer default display=123
action=layout:numpad/

One of patch files uses different p-value.

patch -p1  fix-util-list-logic.patch
patch -p0  add-multi-layout-support.patch
patch -p1  add-get-all-layouts.patch
patch -p1  move-base_alloc_foo-to-layout.patch
patch -p1  make-base-alloc-foo-layout-specific.patch


I merged them all:
http://lauta.dyndns.org/freerunner/multi_layout.diff

Ready compiled binary for freerunner/debian
http://lauta.dyndns.org/freerunner/matchbox-keyboard

And one example layout. At this moment basic finnish+crap numpad.
http://lauta.dyndns.org/freerunner/keyboard.xml


And more things that I do not know. What is matchbox-keyboard that Om
2008.8 uses.
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Change_keyboard_layout

layout switcher looks like this:
default display=[-] action=modifier:layout/

 Hi, Dabian has old matchbox-keyboard ...

I ususally recommend people to talk to the debian maintainer of the
package, to let him know that his package is used and his work
appreciated. A wishlist bug against matchbox-keyboard mentioning a new
version is usually well received, as is filing bugs for useful patches.

This is a general invitation to all users of Debian on their FreeRunner
to get involved by working directly with the Debian project. This is, in
the long run, more productive than patches floating around and
work-arounds on wiki pages (although these are useful in between, until
things are sorted out properly with the upstream authors and packaga
maintainers).

If you file or find bugs that are relevant for us, feel free to add them
to the list on http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianFSO at the bottom.

Greetings,
Joachim

which do not work on my debian. Do they work on yours?
shift+7  = ?should be /
shift+0  = +should be =

öä and umlaut-u do not affected by CAPSLOCK.

4) dh_make -s -f ../navit-0.0.4.tar.gz
5) edit debian/rules and change line that calls ./configure to read only

./configure $(CROSS) --prefix=/usr

6) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
7) sudo dpkg -i ../navit*deb

This quick'n'dirty packaking took only a few minutes but the package seems to 
work:

To create armel package you probably want to

qemubuilder --build navit_0.0.4-1.dsc

since building navit on your freerunner might take a while.

Re: Debian on the FreeRunner -- a few questions/solutions

In the console the umlaute doesn't work at all. maybe i have to change
my language or font settings. When i try it in mousepad the umlaute
works and are affected by capslock.

shift+. = : is right.

; comes by shift+, (take look at the keyboard) :)

The problem with shift+7=? and shift+0=+ does here also appear. I think
these keys must be quoted or something, but i don't know for sure. In
the original files the / and ? are in no special way written, so i don't
know what this is.
I will try a few variations if i can get them to work properly. :)

 There is a thing what i found out about the matchbox keyboard. The
 standard layout is quite bad so i tried my customized from 2007.2 which
 doesn't work at all (i already read about this problem). After a long
 try and error session i found out why it doesn't work. The matchbox
 keyboard which comes with debian seems not to get along with the
 action=modifier:layout tag. After i found out i removed all
 alternative layouts and it worked with my nice german layout with f-keys
 and everithing which is on the keyboard. :)
 If someone is interested in the german layout with f-keys i attached.

Re: Debian on the FreeRunner -- a few questions/solutions

2008-08-21 Thread Fox Mulder
Ok i changed a few things.

First the Pageup is now selected with AltGR and not shift because with
shift when using pageup shift is still on and text is selected. ;)

Second thing is that i forgot the obey-caps='true' tag for öäü which
makes them only work with shift but not capslock. Also i removed these
tags on every other key than a-z. Other keys make no sense to activate
with capslock.

Third thing is that i inserted home and end on cursor up and down with
help of AltGr. Thanks for the hint. :)
Maybe i change the position of PgUp/PgDn and Home/End. But for now it is ok.

Fourth change is the problem with / and =. I found out that i can use
these characters with normal and mod1 (AltGr) but not with shifted
tag. I don't know why, but therefor i make a quickfix which isn't nice
but these characters are usable. I inserted them to the keys 4 and 5
with help of AltGr. Looks a bit ugly but at the moment i don't know how
to get them to work with shift. :/

Hi,

Am Donnerstag, den 21.08.2008, 21:06 +0200 schrieb Fox Mulder:

Thanks.

 First thing is that i can't find the setting, when the display dims the
 brightness. The default setting dims it after some minutes (~3-5 min, i
 didn't measure it) what is way to late for battery usage. Also it would
 ne nice to set the maximum brightness and not always maximum (63).

This should probaby be configurable in frameworkd. You should search
http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ for open bugs on that. If there are
none, you can open them, and optionally add a nice patch :-)

 Then i wanted to use openoffice, what would make me really happy because
 i only use OO on my desktop as well. But after i inetalled it i can't
 start it. When i try to start any OO app i got the following error message
 
 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line 365:  2088 Illegal instruction
 $sd_prog/$sd_binary $@
 
 where the second number increases with every try. soffice seems to be
 a start script, but i can't find the problem why it doesn't work. :(

I guess not many people have tried openoffice on armel yet :-). As Timo
correctly said, it might be a bug in the Debian build and should be
reported there.

 Then i wanted to ask if there exists a recent navit version for debian.
 For 2007.2 i got one as ipkg which works really good with navigation and
 speech output, but for debian i can't find any precompiled package.
 I have the apprehension that i must compile it myself, but if this is
 going well is another story. ;)

Some people are working on it:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451561
Maybe you can help here by finding out what’s stopping them (if it’s
still the copyright stuff) and maybe helping upstream with sorting out
their copyright information.


Greetings,
Joachim

Your are right. The problem with ; is the same like the / and = problem.
I added the ; also to the AltGr modifier on the same key and this works.
I can't remember these problems with the matchbox keyboard which comes
with 2007.2. It seems that with debian came an older version with more
bugs and no layout switch possibilities. :/
