Resetting the icon theme

2007-08-11 Thread Igor Foox
Hi all,

When I first booted the phone after flashing the kernel + rootfs, I
didn't calibrate the touch screen properly, and then when trying to
mess around with the stylus I somehow managed to mess up the gnome
theme.
The current state is that there are no icons showing up and instead I
have little icons with an 'x' in them indicating that there is no
icon.

I couldn't find any information about this on the wiki or mailing list.
Does anyone have any idea how I could reset this? (Reflashing the
rootfs does not seem to affect it, neither does removing all the .*
files in /home/root).

Thanks,
Igor

I had a similar problem, only my package didn't exist.

I guess it might be something

different in your case because your number is actually a valid one.

Re: Login Manager

2007-08-11 Thread t3st3r

Shakthi Kannan wrote:

Hi,

This is w.r.t. having a login manager for OpenMoko.

I am not sure how other PDA phones implement login access, but, in the
Nokia 6210 classic, even without the SIM card, it simply allows access
to the phone, organizer applications, and data. So, if the phone is
lost, valuable information will be stolen, which is something
end-users don't like.
  
So far, virtually no phones protect USER data well enough.Actually, 
proprietary phones are doing some job at protecting their firmwares from 
hacking and pretty powerful protection in operator locking part, etc.And 
er, virtually no protection of user data.While locks, etc are encrypted 
and heavily checksummed\signed, user's data are stored as is.So anyone 
with physical access to phone can quite easily dump your private data if 
they' really want to.Basically this can be done by just over wires.At 
very most (uncooperative boot loader, etc), they have to use JTAG or 
desolder flash IC.Not a great deal for pros.So, once you lost the phone 
you have no reasons to feel your data too secure.They are not secure.


And user's phone code often implemented in very lame manner - usually 
it is trivial to remove it or dump it's value.So, no, if you your lost 
phone, phonecode will rather cause it to be removed and phone never 
returned to you.While fair people will be effectively prevented from 
contacting you.So this can even work against phone owner.


I can see two different approaches here.

1) You care about your data and do not care too much about phone is 
returned to you.
The real way to protect all user data from unauthorized use in quite 
powerful manner is to use file system encryption.This will make all 
things protected.Phone book, calendar, notes and all your files.This 
costs though. Filesystem will be slower and due to heavy CPU use battery 
will exhaust faster. Everything has it's price, privacy too.


If someone is willing to implement this ever, there is funny hint, just 
invented by me: long password is pain in the ass to type at boot 
time.And short password is easy to bruteforce. So, you can store long 
encryption key in SIM as phone number and name in SIM address 
book.Access to SIM is protected by short PIN which is hard to brute 
since you only have 3 attempts to go and SIM is pretty secure thing 
:).So user have to enter just short PIN but this will cause powerful 
encryption key to become accessible from SIM's address book.And those 
who do not know pin will not have access to this key since SIM cards are 
refusing address book access without entering proper PIN code IIRC.


This can make data pretty secure.But... evil persons will just erase all 
this and reload factory flash image so they can use the phone.Good 
persons will be prevented from contacting you up to some degree since 
phone gives no access to address book.Idea with displaying your contact 
info on boot splash\password request screen can help though.


2) You do care about phone return and do not care too much about 
unauthorised data access.
Then another approach can be good: phone should allow all access to all 
data as usually, any SIM should be OK, etc.Recommended setting is no PIN 
and no phonecode.But it should silently send it's coordinates to let's 
say, e-mail to your mailbox or SMSes to a friendly number(your second 
phone number or friend, etc).SMSes will also expose bad guy's phone 
number to you (your friend, etc).So, bad guys can use phone and access 
all your data.But it will silently track them a bit so you can return 
your phone easily.Actually there should be no restrictions in data 
access or features.Otherwise phone will be reflashed by evil people and 
tracking will be stopped so your chances to find your phone will become 
pretty low (IMEI tracking is proven to be quite ineffective since not 
each and every operator on the planet does this and they're cooperate 
poorly enough). Well this will leave all or some data accessible to bad 
guys.Tracking their location and new SIM's phone number in exchange.


I see no effective way to combine these 2 different goals.One is 
prevents access to data but this will enforce bad guys to do full 
reflashing.Killing your (unusable) data but getting working (usable) 
phone.Another approach makes guys to believe phone is not defends itself 
and not secured.While it really silently tracks evildoers.



I read this page:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/My_Account

I put together few points on the login manager:
http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/openmoko/docs/login-manager.pdf

I am not sure if I have missed any user scenarios.
Thoughts/suggestions/feedback appreciated. Just replace .pdf to .odt
in the above to get the OpenOffice document.

If login access has already been addressed in OpenMoko, please let me
know. I hope this is clarified before mass market.

Thanks,

Shakthi

Re: Neo1973 Phase 1 sales / order process / misconception

2007-08-11 Thread Kyle Bassett
Having my own business, I can begin to understand the position of FIC and
their small team trying to process a seemingly endless list of emails on top
of processing the standard orders.  They don't have fringe departments, or
employees for that matter.  No one to sit down and just politely respond to
order inquires all day, every day.  They are overworked, strained, crazy
(just like all of us here :)  ) people that love what they do-and will do
whatever they can to help us take back the mobile phone industry.  Frankly,
they deserve one helluva bonus at the end of this year, although they would
probably be happier if a working Neo was in consumers' hands...

Think about it for a second: all of us who are part of an organization that
use email as an official means of communication essentially check/answer our
emails almost every day, and it takes ridiculously long.  How many emails
have _you_ received today from someone asking about an update?

On the other hand, I can understand the gotta-have-it-right-now feeling of
everyone who does not have a Neo.  Many are itching and screaming for their
uber-geek handheld, so an update every other day or so isn't out of the
question.  Andy makes a good point about how some are feeling:


People just want some sort of information or report on what is *generally*
 happening with regard to orders. Indeed, to paraphrase Michael J Fox,:

 ...They're so thirsty for it, they'll crawl through the desert toward a
 mirage and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand..




And, as Harald said, we are all developers (FIC employees included) trying
to work together, so let's try to act as such...

Re: Incorrect UPS tracking numbers?

2007-08-11 Thread Ulrik Rasmussen
I've just received my package, and everything is good! However, there was a 
pretty weird incident in the process. Thursday, I was phoned on my job by the 
driver who would deliver the package to me. He couldn't deliver it because I 
wasn't home, and he required that I confirmed my identity, so I just told him 
that I'd pick it up myself at the nearest UPS the next day.

However, the next day, Friday, the same driver phoned me again, telling me 
that he had _another_ package for me. He was pretty confident that this was 
not the same package, as it had another size (was smaller) than the first 
one. When I showed up at UPS, I asked them if they had two packages for me, 
but the tracking number that I'd received only showed up one package, which 
indeed did contain everything I had ordered.

I'm now afraid that another persons package has been sent to me by accident. 
If anyone has a tracking number that shows them that their package is heading 
for TAASTRUP, DK (Denmark), I think I might know where it is.

Good, then you know that you provide Customs (via the shipping company)
your VAT registration number and then you're not liable for the VAT.

Re: Import Duty - I have refused my delivery.

 Importation of computer devices and peripherals to the EU is indeed 
 both VAT and import duty exempt - it appears that the description of 
 the goods, compounded with the value statement, has led to this 
 issue. It is indeed OpenMoko's error in not understanding the rules 
 and I hold them responsible for not disclosing that fact.

David,

I'm sorry for your troubles. We are doing our best to get these devices
to everyone as fast and (under the current circumstances) as cheap as we
can. I can assure you that the harmonized code is correct on the
invoice. Also, these are standard UPS Worldship invoices, so I'm really
at a loss as to what we did wrong.

Please let me know what exactly what our mistake was and I will
personally make sure this is fixed.

We're committed to getting these kind of issues resolved so phase 2 can
be a really smooth experience for everyone. So I really need your help
here.

-Sean

When I first booted the phone after flashing the kernel + rootfs, I

The current state is that there are no icons showing up and instead I
have little icons with an 'x' in them indicating that there is no
icon.

Those are I couldn't find the pixmap for this icon icons.  Try a

Does anybody have the same experience?

The symptom is that I sometimes get the correct exit status and  
sometimes a 255 - for the same repeated command. i.e.:


$ ssh -l root 192.168.0.202 true ; echo $?
0
$ ssh -l root 192.168.0.202 true ; echo $?
255

Using ssh -vvv shows that the debug message:

debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0

is missing if ssh returns 255, i.e. dropbear does *not* provide the  
exit status and the client substitutes -1.


This appears to me to be the same bug as in the Changelog (although  
OpenMoko komes with version 0.49)



0.44 - Mon Jan 3 2005

- Avoid a race in server shell-handling code which prevents the  
exit-code

  from being returned to the client in some circumstances.


Does anybody know a fix or is dropbear broken? Or is OpenSSH  
available for OpenMoko?

being mainstream. When you allow the user to put exactly what they

I'm confident we can do it.


6 months?  That's a good sign that they aren't expecting too much  
of a delay for GTA02!




Typical Gartner response in that interview. Who are these industry  
analysts anyway? they just seem to state the obvious. Smartphones  
aren't mainstream, aren't they like 25% of the market maximum? You  
need to be over 50% to be even considered mainstream.
