[release] mogg 0.4 - ogg vorbis support for maemo
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I am happy to announce mogg release 0.4. mogg integrates a patched-up version of the integer-arithmetic ogg vorbis decoder plugin into the maemo multimedia framework. This release is the first with support for the N8x0 with IT OS 2008 (Chinook). Comparison to the other Ogg Support project: Pros: tag support, radio stream support Cons: no speex, no theora decoders To give it a try, please go to: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mogg/ Notes: (1) If you had the other ogg-support package installed before, and mogg cannot be installed, try removing ogg-support by hand first: dpkg -r ogg-support I saw that its post-removal clean-up script sometimes reports an error without obvious reason, i.e. it helped to just try removing the package a second time. (2) Currently, some tags are not recognized by the Media Player, even though they are correctly reported by the plugin. These include album, track and genre. But at least artist and title are shown correctly. Even when they change during playback of a radio stream. (3) Yes, seeking in files works. (4) This release is currently not available for IT OS 2007 (Bora) and IT OS 2006 (Mistral) because it doesn't contain any improvements for these platforms. Have fun! Feedback appreciated!

N810: Not unlocking but crashing on slide open or unlock in offline mode

My problematic procedure: 1. close the keyboard slide 2. switch to Offline Mode from the power switch menu 3. lock the screen using the lock switch 4. put it in your pocket, wait a while 5. take it out of your pocket: the screen is off, the LED is blinking blue to indicate standby 6. open the keyboard slide or move the lock switch Usually in Normal Mode, this will immediately unlock screen and keyboard, light up the screen and make the LED go off. When the bug occurs, the screen will only light up dim, after a longer than usual delay, the unlocked message will pop up. Screen will be unlocked. Keyboard will still be locked. The LED will still blink blue! If you have set a code, the code can be entered, but nothing happens on OK. And after a few seconds, the device is likely to reboot.

I suppose that I could put them in a script that runs whenever I boot, but I did not need to do that on OS2007. That's a bit hard to believe because the kernel doesn't remember which modules were loaded before shutdown and so it can't reload them on boot up. In principle there is an autoloading facility for device drivers using modprobe/depmod but I don't think it is used on the tablets and it wouldn't help with NFS either.

Though, you can tune this a bit by specifying the cluster size which by default is 32 sectors (16 kB). Cranking this up to e.g. 128 sectors (64 kB) per cluster will reduce the FAT correspondingly by a factor of 4. Thus the FAT of a 160 GB partition would have about 10 MB size as opposed to 40 MB which indeed can generate problems on memory restricted devices. The -s parameter of mkdosfs can be used for this.

Re: Relocate n800 Claws Folder?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Actually one good thing about *nix apps is that they are very systematic about that: Most apps store their per user data in configfiles ~/.appnamerc or directories ~/.appname/ where ~ denotes the user's home directory. This is usually hardcoded. If you want to move the directory somewhere else, you can move the file/dir and then use symlinks. mv ~/.appname /some/where/else/ ln -s /some/where/else/.appname ~/ So, when you moved your ~/.claws-mail/ directory last time, you probably did something like that? To check that, do ls -lda ~/.claws-mail If it looks like drwxr-xr-x 10 2 users 4096 2007-10-31 00:43 .claws-mail/ then it's still an ordinary directory in your home dir, if it looks like lrwxrwxrwx 9 root root 16 2007-08-30 17:17 .claws-mail - /some/where/.claws-mail then it's a symlink already.

You wouldn't believe how few feedback you get these days: The mogg d/l counters show that quite some people try it, but we get no feedback. So you're tempted to believe everybody is happy. So thanks again! Steve Greenland schrieb: Current state of ogg support, 17-October-2007. Firstly, for some unknown reason there are *two* different ogg support packages. One, from Tuomas Kulve, I'll call 'ogg-support'. The second, by Marko Nykanen and Tilman Vogel (according to the garage page,but see below), is 'mogg'. Yes, this is unfortunate. I think mogg existed first and I was surprised about the second attempt, but on the other hand at that time none of the mogg people had an IT OS 2007 scratchbox set up, so nobody can be blamed. I (silently - my fault) had hoped somebody (maybe Tuomas Kulve) would contact us to join on mogg some day and support it on the N800. Anyway, I did some clean-up work on the gstreamer tremor plugin. Some of these changes make it work with the maemo audio player and kagu. The changes are documented and can easily be diffed between the upstream tremor plugin and the mogg version. I mentioned this to Tuomas Kulve and he offered me to join his project. I have not responded yet and the reason is that he tries to maintain the whole gstreamer-plugins-bad package. I didn't want to do this as I was just interested in the tremor codec and because the package is quite edgy, I decided to separate the tremor plugin into its own package. I am really not keen on going back to the bad package. Actually, as soon as tremor get's kind of maintained again, it should leave the bad package anyway. Plus, I don't have an N800, so, blame me, I am a bit egoistic about investing more work in this, but vice versa, I'd be happy to have N800 developers (Tuomas?) on the mogg project! Mogg is available from r.m.o extras. Yea. The packages file shows the maintainer for 'mogg' to be Jussi Kukkonen. Libraries are pulled from r.m.o when available, no obvious dupes. Ok, I'll update that soon. Jussi Kukkonen recently left the project out of time constraints. Onto the players. Built in media player: doesn't work. Mogg claims that it should (and maybe it does in the IT2006 version), but it doesn't even find the files on the card. (It does find MP3s.) Ok, I am interested in this because it works on IT OS 2006. Do you have any hints, which files might be missing/wrong? /usr/share/mime/packages/ogg-vorbis.xml should register *.ogg as audio/x-vorbis and it seems on IT OS 2006, the audio player shows all files of type audio/*.

Is there an equivalent of maemo-bt-plugin for the N800? (was: Re: N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Rainer Dorsch schrieb: thanks, that is very nice news. I describe what I did (hope the helps others): First I noticed, that I did not find the package via apt-get. Is gpsbabel not yet in a apt compatible respository? No, I don't have a debian repository yet. Sorry! Maybe I'll ask at maemo.org if I may use their extra repository soon. Anyway, I wanted to gain some confidence that the port works for people before I put it in some repository... I downloaded it manually. I had to install libusb and libcairo2 manually to get gpsbabel and GTK GRays 2 installed. Yes, without an apt repository, that's the way to go... After GTK GRays-2 started :-) :-) I tried to communicate with the wintec device, but got an error opening device /dev/rfcomm0. Do you know if I have to do anything additionally to get bluetooth working? Well, on the 770 there is the very convienient maemo-bt-plugin which supports Bluetooth keyboards and GPS devices. For the latter it exactly takes care of setting up /dev/rfcomm0. I was surprised to find out that this does not exist for the N800 but suspected that there must be some onboard tool which does that and make maemo-bt-plugin obsolete. Obviously I was wrong. Does anybody know anything about that? Is there a reason for maemo-bt-plugin not to exist for the N800?

Re: Memory corruption during WLAN use: detailled analysis and workaround
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Kalle Valo schrieb: What about N800 or is this reproducible only on 770? Unfortunately, I couldn't test this because I only have a 770... What are your WLAN settings? Is this related to some particular settings, like WPA for instance? I don't use WPA but I experienced it both without any encryption and with my WEP network. The fact that already scanning for networks causes the problem makes me think that it doesn't depend much on special settings... Also, the address stays the same in all cases. How long does it take you to see the corruption with memtester? With test sizes of about 24 MB, chances seem to be very good to catch the bad bytes. In other words, usually if I run memtester 24 after booting and still without WLAN, everything is ok. As soon as I click on Choose connection... and scanning starts, I see FAILURE messages from memtester. I don't have to wait for it. If they don't show up, it means memtester didn't get the corrupted bytes. Then it usually helps to start it again with a little bigger size. Also, when I shut down the WLAN connection, the errors immediately stop. If you have more questions, let me know. I'll also file my bug report soon.

Memory corruption during WLAN use: detailled analysis and workaround
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! This is going to be a bit longer, but may be interesting to many Nokia 770 users as I suspect that this problem is present on all 770s: A few weeks ago I had a very bad spontaneous crash of my 770 making it unbootable. The progress bar never showed up. I could reflash, but got suspicious about what might have caused it. I started searching for a memory checker and found: http://pyropus.ca/software/memtester/ It compiles fine under scratchbox, here are my binaries: http://freenet-homepage.de/tvogel/memtester-4.0.7-bin.tar.bz2 As I tested my device by running ./memtester 24 as root, I observed, that I got memory corruption when there was WLAN activity: while scanning for networks as well as when data is actually transmitted. The problem does not always show up as it depends on what memory blocks memtester is assigned by the kernel. Also the adresses where the errors occur vary, but as user space processes live in virtual memory space, addresses do not have a fixed mapping to physical memory anyway. After that, I wanted to find out where the problems actually come from and how much memory is affected. I found the Running Unix Memory Tester (rumt-0.2) from: http://www.normalesup.org/~george/comp/rumt/ It does compile under scratchbox but needs an additional patch in order to work correctly on the 770. Find the patch here: http://freenet-homepage.de/tvogel/rumt-n770.patch and my binaries here: http://freenet-homepage.de/tvogel/rumt-bin.tar.bz2 Before I describe how to reproduce, here are my results: Depending on the memory location to which the modules umac.ko and cx3110x.ko get loaded, exactly two consecutive bytes at fixed physical locations in memory get overwritten by zeroes everytime there is WLAN activity: On a vanilla NOKIA770_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_MR0, the modules get loaded at (cat /proc/modules): cx3110x 51420 0 - Live 0xbf03f000 umac 253316 1 cx3110x, Live 0xbf00 In this case, the two bytes are at physical location 0x1304b8b4 and 0x1304b8b5 (these addresses include an offset of 0x1000 - see /proc/iomem). When booting the same OS from an ext2 formatted MMC, then the modules are: cx3110x 51420 0 - Live 0xbf04e000 umac 253316 1 cx3110x, Live 0xbf00f000 ext2 43524 1 - Live 0xbf003000 mbcache 7716 0 - Live 0xbf00 I.e. due to the two extra modules, umac.ko and cx3110x.ko are shifted by 0xf000. And surprise, surprise, the corrupted bytes also get shifted by 0xf000 to 0x1305a8b4 and 0x1305a8b5. Of course, I'd be very interested to know if this only occurs on my device or if this is a common problem, so I'd be happy if some of you could try to reproduce it. This procedure can be used: - - open two root shells on your 770 - - start WLAN on the 770, flood ping ping -f your 770 in order to create network traffic - - in the first shell, start memtester starting with a size that shows the corruption (the first argument is the size in MB) - - successively reduce the size until you don't see corruption: This makes it likely, that the next alloc of 1 MB will get the block with the bad bytes - - let memtester run and now in the second shell, start urumt -p 256: This will allocate 1 MB of memory, locate its physical addresses in /dev/mem and start testing. You'll get bit-precise location information on which bits get corrupted into which direction: + (1-0) or - (0-1). (I used this procedure because memtester is much faster than urumt.) I'd be interested, if you also find this problem. If so, you can try using my workaround: My idea was to write a programm that tries to allocate the bad memory block, lock it and then just sleep forever. This would save other processes from stepping into the trap. You can find my source code at: http://freenet-homepage.de/tvogel/blockbad.c or the binary at: http://freenet-homepage.de/tvogel/blockbad The programm takes as argument the memory page to block. If urumt reported 123ef:8bc, strip off the leading 1 and the last 3 digits, i.e. use 0x23ef in this example. The programm will always allocate 32MB RAM in order to search for the block. This is currently hardcoded. After the block is found, the other blocks are freed up again. Of course, you should stop memtester and urumt before that. If this works for you, you might consider starting blockbad 0x23ef at the end of /etc/init.d/minircS. Then you can check with ps if blockbad is running. If so, it found and allocated the suspicious memory block. If not, it was out of luck and didn't get that block assigned by the kernel. Very interested in any feedback, Tilman PS. I had problems with some applications on my 770 (file manager and bookmarks crashed) and it turned out the reason was a corrupted library file (libhildonfm.so.1.0.0) which had erroneous zeroes at exactly the suspicious offset 0x8b4 and 0x8b5! -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
