Lost my AUX button?
Hello All, I can't find my Freerunner's AUX button. At least after booting that is. I haven't noticed any problem using it to flash. But otherwise it doesn't seem to respond anymore. I've tried with OM-testing, SHR-testing, and also fso-ms5.1. At the moment I have fso-ms5.1 flashed. and testing with the command line mdbus -s -l org.freesmartphone.odeviced or mdbus -s -l org.freesmartphone.odeviced /org/freesmartphone/Device/Input I can see events including the POWER button but I don't get anything pressing the AUX button. It seems odd given that I can use it to boot into the nand menu. Anything else I can try? With only two buttons to work with I don't want to give it up. I'm hoping its not a hardware problem.

Are you saying that you type sudo ifdown usb0 sudo ifup usb0 every time you plug in your FR? You have to decide where you want to spend your time. For me it isn't NM at the moment. So yeah its a a drag but I type it in. digger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

If I comment out auto usb0 and everything below, I can access the rest of the network, but then, of course, my FreeRunner no longer has Internet access. Any ideas on how to get both up? Recently something changed with NetworkManager in Intrepid, don't know what. With the auto usb0 line in the interfaces file NM decided that it to make it the default route when I plugged it in. I could see the nm-applet going around and then a notification that I was connected to the Freerunner. Looking at connections with nm-applet there were tabs for both the wireless and usb0 with usb0 marked as default. I kinda remember an Ubuntu bug-report concerning the default route in NM. Any way my solution was to comment out auto usb0 and manually use ifup usb0 (actually sudo ifdown usb0 sudo ifup usb0 is what I use). digger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Should I add some arch feed-name priority lines? Never mix feeds. Period. Ask someone with OE commit privs to add whatever applications you want in the fso-testing feeds to simply add that application's name to task-openmoko-feed.bb and it will be automatically built. If you need a specific application ipk from a different feed, then download the ipk and install it manually, using your judgement to determine whether it's dependencies are going to screw your system up. Take a full backup of your rootfs first. -- Rod Okay, makes sense. digger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

I had look at the code in /usr/share/python-support/fso-frameworkd/framework/subsystems/ogpsd but I'm clearly missing something as I cannot fathom how to make it work. Thanks Hi Matt, I've the same interest and the same problem. At FreeSmartPhone.org there is a Tutorials[0] page with a python example for gsm. I've also been looking at the Zhone code. Between them I'm trying to write something to print out info from ogpsd to the command line. So far I haven't had much time to put toward it so I don't have anything to offer up, but perhaps that is of some help.
