In a hurry, sometimes. i can't remember if there is a terminal in om2009 or not - i think there is, and it's pretty good. have you discovered illume ie the desktop yet? if not, you might want to go to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Paroli#FAQ specifically, how do i get illume? I have discovered it, and while the initial frustration level has receded, I still haven't got the hang of it yet. I'm beginning to see why Apple have captured the non-geek market. where all your questions will be answered Not really. For example, the OM2009 link is to Elementary, which looks neat, but a) it's not gtk, and b) it's in C, and life (and in particular, the possible life of a Neo) is too short to write apps in C. So I need something with python bindings. the wiki is great, have search - there's mountains of useful info there Weel, there is a lot there, but I haven't yet found the key to doing what I want... -- Ant ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Where are the apps for this distribution?
there are very few apps installed by default on om2009. you will need
to use opkg to install more, and keep everything up to date. best to
do this over ssh, form your desktop/laptop
bear in mind, that om2009 doesn't have a lot of libraries that your
average distro has, so some of the stuff there only runs on shr, or
some of the other community distros
Is there any obvious way of telling what will and what won't run on om2009?
And my second question: here is a tiny python/gtk program. How do I get it to
run on the Freerunner?
#!/usr/bin/env python
# example base.py
import gtk
class Base:
def __init__(self):
self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
self.window.set_title('Hello')
self.window.set_default_size(100,100)
self.window.show()
def main(self):
gtk.main()
if __name__ == __main__:
base = Base()
base.main()

help for newbie
Ok, I have installed /uImage-2.6.28-stable+gitr0+f19f259d... and fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Now I need some pointers: Where are the apps for this distribution? How do I get a 'hello world' in Python to run? By which I mean (presumably) bringing up a window with a close button on it. -- Ant ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
closing apps in FDOM
How do you do it? What am I missing here? -- anthony winter ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: closing apps in FDOM
Thanks for the information. Is it actually written down anywhere? But it doesn't work with 'Contacts'. If I have just 'Home' and 'Contacts' in the list it 'Contacts' does not get closed. Extra questions: 1) what is the quickest way of shutting down the neo completely? At present I am using a terminal and entering init 0. 2) What do the three little + signs at the bottom of the screen do? 3) What is the * at the bottom left for? 4) What does the (possibly) spanner-like symbol at the top right do? In other words - where is there a description of this user interface!? On Tue, 14 Oct 2008, you wrote: 2008/10/13 anthony winter [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do you do it? What am I missing here? 1. Tap on the little triangle in the upper middle of the screen. A pulldown menu appears, the current app will the be the one at the bottom of this menu. 2. Tap on REMOVE in the lower left corner of that pulldown menu. -- anthony winter ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
