[maemo-users] should I disable lifeguard-reset?
Hi, what do you think: Does it make sense for a very Linux-experienced user (like me) to disable "lifeguard-reset" on the Nokia770? # flasher --set-rd-flags no-lifeguard-reset Does this have any negative side-effects? I don't doubt that for an unexperienced user with no Linux-skills and only little knowledge of how the software on the Nokia770 works, this is an appropriate solution to initiate a reboot whenever any essential software-component fails. Yes, reboots fix many problems. But wouldn't a skilled user be able to judge better than the lifeguard in which situations a reboot would make sense, and in which situations the reboot could be deferred until e.g. important application data has been saved? A spontaneous reboot leaves no chance to save the data you might currently be working on... Are you an experienced/skilled user? Do you disable "lifeguard-reset"? Besides just being able to disable/enable the lifeguard, to me it would even make sense if the N770 would support another setting, in which it only would advice the user that an essential component just failed and a reboot would probably fix the problem. regards, Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

[maemo-users] Modified Maemo-Mapper v1.1 with 2nd set of URI/Cache, option to operate with closed cover
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=19351&postcount=167 Here is a modified version of John Costigan's Maemo-Mapper v1.1 with a second set of URI/Cache, e.g. for easy switching between street maps and satellite images. The ESC-hardware-key now toggles the URI/Cache settings, while in the original version it toggles show/hide tracks. The modified version also has the option to operate with closed device cover: you can disable the default behaviour to disconnect the bluetooth GPS connection when the cover is closed, if you unset 'Tools' -> 'Control Panel' -> Connectivity' -> 'Disconnect when cover on device' (Gconf-Key /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/disconnect_on_cover). John's Maemo-Mapper focuses on in-car navigation. My modifications are useful for non-car navigation, e.g. while cycling, hiking, walking, running: satellite images are sometimes (but not always ;-) more useful than street maps for off-road navigation, operation with closed device cover is useful if you temporarily store the device in a pocket, but still want to record your track. Before I already applied these modifications to version 1.0.1, now I ported my modifications to the current version 1.1.

swapon/off via CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet (Re: [maemo-users] Swap on mmc after six or more months)
Hi, I justed noticed, that John Costigan (the author of Maemo-Mapper) modified Jakub Pavelek's original "CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet" to include a generic 'execute & memorize an arbitrary command' feature: http://gnuite.com:8080/nokia770/ http://gnuite.com:8080/nokia770/load-applet-run/load-applet-run_0.4.3-2_armel.deb John's approach is very well suited to manually swapoff/on: you simply execute e.g. "/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/swapon /dev/mmcblk0p2" once via the "run" menu item of the applet, check the "Save as:" checkbox and name this command "swapoff". Same with "swapon". (/etc/sudoers has to be edited in advance.) John's "run" modification of Jakub's applet is a generalization of my "swapon/off" modification, and it looks less buggy. To cut a long story short: there is no need anymore for my "CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet with swapon/off". Please use John's. regards, Armin. On Tuesday 20 June 2006 18:39, Armin M.

Re: [maemo-users] Swap on mmc after six or more months
Hi, I added a modified 'CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet with swapon/off' to the ITOS2006 Maemo Application Catalog http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006 Again I modified Jakub's original version of the CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet to include swapon/off. This is useful for those of us who prefer to continue to have their swap in a dedicated partition on the MMC, e.g. '/dev/mmcblk0p2'. Default now with ITOS2006 is to have a swap file '/media/mmc1/.swap', which is within the filesystem in '/dev/mmcblk0p1'. You do not need the modified applet if you are happy with the new default swap file in ITOS2006! There are pros and cons with swap files versus swap partitions. For example ITOS2006 automagically swapoffs the swap file if the filesystems gets umounted when you connect the device via USB to the PC (and automagically swapons after the USB disconnect caused to mount '/media/mmc1' again). On the other hand, a swap partition simply can remain active in this situation, it is not affected by USB handling. The downside of swap partition versus swap file comes with phyiscal MMC ejection: With a swap partition you have to manually swapoff via the applet before you eject the card (and manually swapon again after MMC insertion), while ITOS2006 somehow automagically swapoffs the swap file before ejection (and swapons after MMC insertion). If you fail to swapoff before MMC ejection the device will crash. Note: If you want to use swapon/off of the modified CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet you have to edit /etc/sudoers, which requires you to gain root. Warning: Swap on dedicated partitions, messing around on your device being root, and editing /etc/sudoers is not intended for end-users but only for experts. Use with care. You have been warned. Create a backup. If unsure - stay with the default swap file in ITOS2006 and use Jakub's original applet without swapon/off. http://armin-warda.de/load-applet-aw_0.4.4-2-0.1_armel.deb http://armin-warda.de/load-applet-aw-0.4.4-2-0.1.patch regards, Armin.

[maemo-users] include ITOS2006 App Cat in www.bleb.org/software/770/apps.rss
Hi Andrew, your much loved RSS feed http://www.bleb.org/software/770/apps.rss scans the ITOS2005 application catalog http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog for changes, but traffic has already begun to shift to the ITOS2006 application catalog http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006 Of cause we could create a new RSS feed for the new App Catalog. But I think this won't be necessary, and extending the current RSS feed to include both App Catalogs - ITOS2005 and ITOS2006 - would be OK, because changes in the old catalog already have started to become less frequent, and I expect ITOS2005 to become obsolete very soon, because already ITOS2006 BETA is so much better than all previous ITOS2005 releases! So I would suggest to simply let evolve your ITOS2005 feed into an ITOS2006 feed... regards, Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

[maemo-users] osso_rss_feed_reader hangs on http://lwn.net/headlines/rss
Hi, starting today, whenever I refresh the http://lwn.net/headlines/rss (Linux Weekly News) feed, the osso_rss_feed_reader (News reader) hangs. Any similiar experiences or ideas? More details: Since november last year I have been reading this LWN feed all the time without problems on my Nokia 770, with all SW versions, 1.2005.42-9 through 5.2006.13-7, which I am using now. When I remove the LWN feed from the News reader, I am able to refresh all feeds again, without hang. But if I try to add the LWN feed again, via the URL http://lwn.net/headlines/rss, the News reader hangs immediately and can only be killed from an xterm. (Then I have to kill five processes of osso_rss_feed_reader, but sometimes this does not help, because the News reader icon does not disappear from the task list, preventing to restart another instance of the News reader again, unless I reboot.) What I already tried without success: - rebooted the device several times - run the device without swap on the RS-MMC - removed the favicons and feeds directories from /home/user/.osso_rss_feed_reader/cache/ I have not yet reflashed the device. The only thing that avoids the hang is not to add the LWN feed. I manually downloaded the rdf from http://lwn.net/headlines/rss to the browser, to me the rdf looks sane. It should not hang the News reader. I have archived a copy of this rdf, just in case, the problem disappears without notice, and still anybody want's to analyze it. regards, Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

Re: [maemo-users] can I repair/reset the mail app without reflashing the device?
Hi, I removed everything in /home/user/.osso/osso-email/ /home/user/apps/email/ and rebooted the device, then manually defined all my mailboxes. This solved my problem. I identified these directories by looking into the file /etc/osso-backup/applications/osso-email.conf, which contains the locations that are routinely backuped by the osso-backup application. Btw. I did not remove /home/user/.osso-email/, which contains the AddressBook.xml, thus all email addresses were preserved. Of cause, by deleting the contents of the two directories above, I lost all emails in the Inbox, Outbox and Drafts folder, but these were inaccessible anyway due to the corruption. As a suprise to me, all emails in the Archive folder, that previously seemed to be gone, reappeared after I emptied the two directories. Magic. Guess these must be stored elsewhere, probably on the RS-MMC? regards, Armin. On Monday 13 March 2006 10:25, Armin M.

I did a 'rm -rf /home/user/apps/email/*/*' , and I rebooted the
device immediately: this did not solve the problem.
I suspect there must be some other file(s) which record the
internal state of the folders/mailboxes, and that this internal
state got corrupted...
Any ideas?

I am afraid, that backup+reflash+restore would not solve the
problem, if the problem would be preserved in the settings that
are backuped, thus that I really would have to reflash without
backup/restore... Of cause I want to avoid this.
regards, Armin.

[maemo-users] can I repair/reset the mail app without reflashing the device?
Hi, the mail application on my Nokia 770 is somewhat confused, I suspect the stored mailbox files got currupted: for example when I receive a mail into the inbox, close the mail app, open the inbox again, the email I just received is gone. It looks like all archived mails are gone, too. The drafts folder is empty, too. How can I repair/reset the mailboxes of the mail app on the Nokia 770 without reflasing the device? Should I delete everything below /home/user/apps/email/ ? Or just delete the cache.xml files in these directories? Or some gconf-files? Armin.

[maemo-users] Enhanced Load-Plugin applet with swapon/off (load-plugin-aw_0.2.7-1)
Hi, I have added a swapon/off menu-item to Jakub's Load-Plugin, http://koti.welho.com/jpavelek/tmp/770/ which he recently released under the LGPL. The swapon/off feature will be useful for those who have a swap on the RS-MMC. (You really should swapoff before you unplug the RS-MMS...) Here are some screenshots of the enhanced Load-Plugin applet: http://www.arminwarda.mynetcologne.de/Snap00.png http://www.arminwarda.mynetcologne.de/Snap01.png http://www.arminwarda.mynetcologne.de/Snap02.png The enhanced Load-Plugin applet can be downloaded here: http://www.arminwarda.mynetcologne.de/load-plugin-aw_0.2.7-1_arm.deb Source code and patches to transform Jakub's original source into the enhanced version are available, too. The Load-Plugin runs as 'user', swapon and swapoff need 'root', thus you have to add the following line to /etc/sudoers manually: user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/swapon *, /sbin/swapoff * The Load-Plugin does not create a swap file or device, you must already have done that, as described elsewhere. Please remember, this modified Load-Plugin applet has only been tested by a few and could ruin your device. Be careful. Do you think the Load-Plugin applet with swapon/off is end-user-ready and should now be linked to from the Maemo ApplicationCatalog Wiki? Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

No, I think swap on a N770 is a plus for stability. I have been using it for about 4 weeks now. What I observe: if I have an OS crash or spontaneous reboot, then the probablility of more of these unwelcome events to occur during the next minutes is very high. But if the device ran stable for a while - let's say a day - then the probablility is very high that it keeps running without crashes or spontaneous reboots for several days. Thus, on my N770 the OS crashes or spontaneous reboots really arrive in bulks (no negexp inter-arrival time distribution, thus these can't be independent events). What I mean with 'spontaneous reboot': not all reboots seem to be caused by real OS crashes, there seems to be a kind of watchdog that automagically reboots the device if it notices an essential process is missing or misbehaving. Probably you could turn this watchdog off. But I think for an end-user - not a hacker - this watchdog is an appropriate thing. Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

[maemo-users] problems after 'swapon /dev/mmcblk0p2' with 3.2005.51-13
Hi, similiar as described by Tommy Cheng in http://www.dillernet.com/apple/2005/12/27/making-swap/#comments I partitioned my 512MB RS-MMC into two partitions: /dev/mmcblk0p1 = 470MB fat16/vfat /dev/mmcblk0p2 = 40MB swap I have not yet added the /var/lib/install/etc/init.d/mmcswap.sh script to auto-detect & -activate the /dev/mmcblk0p2 swap device on boot. Before I do this, I want to verify, that it does not render the 770 unusable. And here's my problem: When I manually activate the swap from the osso-xterm with swapon /dev/mmcblk0p2 most of the time, the 770 reboots within 2-4 seconds. Sometimes it keeps running, but a popup with a low memory warning appears immediately after the 'swapon' and I am not able to open any application, the 770 keep on complaining about low memory. And the 'free' command tells me that the swap is not used at all. Has anybody seen this before? My 770 is on release 3.2005.51-13. Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

Hi, I cross-compiled some GNU utilities and 'tnftp', see http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog for the deb packages. This was very easy, no actual porting (change of source code) necessary, just setup the scratchbox environment as described in the Maemo tutorial http://maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html download the sources of these apps, ./configure && make, strip the executables, build the deb packages. You really don't have to be a developer to 'port' such standard Unix applications to Maemo. Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

I have the impression that the latest release improves performance of task switching and of the News reader application. Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

You are right, the Maemo web page still serves the previous version. > btw what do the version number parts mean? When I look at the firmware version history of my Nokia 770 1.2005.42-9 2.2005.45-8 3.2005.51-13 then I can guess what X..WW-B stands for: X = official release number = year WW = week of year B = internal build number -- --- May the Source be with you!

I just upgraded* to 3.2005.51-13, which I downloaded from the Nokia software support web pages, using the Linux flasher. Success, no problems. *Upgrade = Backup to MMC, Flash new Image, Restore from MMC Then manually reinstalled all extra software (all these debs which live in /var/lib/install and appear in the 'Extras' menu).
