Hi,

try the apps by knj - there's a google calendar app (should be adding other 
backends later), and an e-mail client, with support for imap

Thanks - will try those.

Hi,

there are a couple already in the om repos (one by qtopia, on be om), but 
there's no way of getting data from an external source 

Well, the qtopia one can't run on FSO easily. The OM one was the gtk one (I 
think hackable has it too) - don't know what the current status is - but that 
should be ok.

IMO the ability to sync is something that is desperately needed. 

I am actually looking at doing something with opensync - but haven't found the 
time yet. Anyhow - with most of the code bits needed already done for intone - 
let me see what I can come up with. I think an elementary based implementation, 
with a sqlite backend and the ability to sync with a desktop will be really 
handy.

Then of course - going ahead - we need an email client and a calendar app (with 
the ability to sync to a desktop). Ubuntu 9.04 is doing some nice things with 
notification. Maybe everything can be put together. Will be plenty of work 
though!

there are a couple already in the om repos (one by qtopia, on be om),
but there's no way of getting data from an external source

imo, tasque would be great, if only it cached data locally.

failing that, i'd be tempted to use rtm, and get my tasks as an rss
feed, cached locally in a feed reader

Re: Upadated - Intone (0.22) Elementary based mplayer frontend

2009-04-08 Thread c_c

Hi,

To follow up my own e-mail (again), this seems to be a ogg issue. mp3s have a 
proper counter pace, though the value is in s, not m:ss

 All minor points welcome too. :-)
  I just tried randomly pressing buttons and changing playlists, and I could 
see the counter go to 2x after changing the selected playlist and pressing the 
next button. Must have missed setting up the timer on playlist change. Will 
sort it out today.

  I'm aware of the m:s and not m:ss issue. Will fix that one today too - I 
think it slipped my mind when I was working on the .22 release. Really miss a 
good tasks client for the FR. Thanks for pointing that out.

Re: Upadated - Intone (0.22) Elementary based mplayer frontend

2009-04-08 Thread Cameron Frazier
Interesting thing.  When I'm playing songs, the slider move and the
counter increments, though faster then the song, with little relevance
to the track time/position.  The counter seems to go up to the mid
200s (244, 266, etc) and when it ends, the track changes, regardless
of the actual some position.

Is this a known issue? Or a local one to my FR?

Kind regards,

Cameron

Re: Upadated - Intone (0.22) Elementary based mplayer frontend

2009-04-08 Thread c_c

Hi,

Very slick.  Nice work c_c.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Let me know what you didn't like too.

I have mp3 files driving mplayer to about 10%, while ogg files come in about 
45% of cpu.  

mplayer builds are generally compiled to use libvorbis which is a floating 
point implementation. Its easy enough to compile tremor - which is an integer 
library (provides libidecvorbis IIRC) and is a drop in replacement. I have 
tried tremor and here's the CPU usage

ogg 44100 2 channel enc208
mplayer   tremor
47.6% - 52.7% 18.5% - 20%  

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to patch mplayer build to use tremor since I 
don't really know how the entire bitbake process works. BTW, mplayer has a 
built-in option to use tremor in its ./configure file.

If someone could point me in a direction that tells me how to go about changing 
the library being used for the build - or do it him/her self - that'll just be 
great and should bring down CPU usage to more acceptable levels.

*** Also, I'm thinking of forking intone to handle videos as well. Mostly same 
code - but with a gui optimised for videos (I'm thinking Landscape mode). But 
apparently I'll need another version of mplayer-glamo. Things would get simpler 
if the standard mplayer ipk could come with the glamo patches and linked to 
tremor.

Any Ideas?

Re: Intone OGG Support

2009-04-08 Thread c_c

Hi,

Could you check the output of mplayer when loading an ogg file? Mine (a very 
recent svn build) crashes saying that it has been called an unknown CPU call... 
:o

 There's another issue. mplayer builds are generally compiled to use libvorbis 
which is a floating point implementation. Its easy enough to compile tremor - 
which is an integer library (provides libidecvorbis IIRC) and is a drop in 
replacement. I have tried tremor and here's the CPU usage

ogg 44100 2 channel enc208
mplayer   tremor 
47.6% - 52.7% 18.5% - 20%  

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to patch mplayer build to use intone since I 
don't really know how the entire bitbake process works. BTW, mplayer has a 
built-in option to use tremor in its ./configure file.

Could you take a look at this - or point me in a direction that tells me how to 
go about changing the library being used. This will really help. Thanks.

Re: Intone OGG Support

2009-04-08 Thread c_c

Hi,

Hi. It would seem, since I can't get Intone to actually handle any individual 
songs, that it lacks support for OGG. What's up with that?! And more 
importantly, how do I get OGG support? :)

  Ha! That was my oversight with release 0.20. I was only scanning for .oga 
files. Try the newer version .22. That scans for .ogg as well. And, as I've 
asked before - I am only scanning for .ogg, .oga, .mp3, .m4a and .wma files as 
of now. Any other types I should be looking at?

Re: Autorun for SD card mechanism?

2009-04-08 Thread Lothar Behrens
Yes,

I agree with that when data should be used from sdcard, if there are  
these files. That would be the quick hack in my mind.

But I brought up my points in case if there are applications for  
specific distros and versions that may be incompatible to each other?
I don't know if the issue will make the whole thing too complex, but I  
thought to discuss about it.

I have had a case where I gone back to an older version, but it didn't  
worked any more and I didn't know, wich versions do fit together.

Intone OGG Support

2009-04-08 Thread The Digital Pioneer
Hi. It would seem, since I can't get Intone to actually handle any
individual songs, that it lacks support for OGG. What's up with that?! And
more importantly, how do I get OGG support? :)

It should manage it, but I've some problems with recent mplayer builds
and ogg files.

Could you check the output of mplayer when loading an ogg file?
Mine (a very recent svn build) crashes saying that it has been called an
unknown CPU call... :o

Re: Accelerometer wiki page erroneous axes ?

2009-04-08 Thread François TOURDE

Yes, probably because of mixing gravity, force, acceleration, inertia,
etc... :)

Please, don't stop earth rotation, because my weight will increase too
much :(

The _perfect_ accelerometer is measuring 2 forces: The gravity, and
the table reaction against the phone fall. These 2 forces are in
opposite directions, then accel value is 0.

If you shift left (or right) your _perfect_ accelerometer, it will
(probably) indicate a X acceleration value. But only if it has no mass
so no inertia :)

The Freerunner accelerometers are able to compare these 2 forces, and
so it compares gravity vs reaction, or force vs inertia.

Your idea works only for the accelerometer Z, in case of the phone is
left horizontaly, screen up. X and Y accelerometers don't have the
"calibration error" in this case.

And if your phone is falling, the accel values will turn to zero, even
in the earth gravity field. If you will try this, please consider
using a pillow (for example) to avoid crash ;)

Not the same, but we can't make any differences just looking at the
trajectory.

 good idea. I already have all those files on SD but after each  
 upgrade
 have to install them manually, which is annoying.

 I would suggest something like:

 1) notify user to do an opkg update and opkg upgrade first

 2) change to post installation directory
 cd /media/card/post

 3) change to package directory and install all that is in there
 cd packages
 opkg install *.ipk *.opk
 cd ..

 4) override files
 cd override
 [[copy all files to root of system, e.g. override/etc/blabla to
 /etc/blabla]]
 cd ..

 5) path files
 cd patches
 [[apply all patchers to root of system]]
 cd ..

 off course documenting your changes via patches/diffs is preferred  
 over
 overriding, allowing improvements in other parts of the files via  
 opkg
 upgrade before you start.

Re: [Debian] How to get elementary?

2009-04-08 Thread Leonti Bielski
Marcel, you can install e17 using this script:
http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/
It will install e17 to /opt/e17

Then just adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH , so system would find the libraries
and include files/


Then you get Elementary from svn:

svn co http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/TMP/st/elementary

When configuring don't forget to put --prefix=/opt/e17 option, so
Elementary would be installed in /opt directory

Hope this helps

[SHR-Unstable] opkg upgrade fail

2009-04-08 Thread The Digital Pioneer
Hi. I'm trying to opkg upgrade on my SHR-unstable, and it refuses to work.
It goes for a very long time, downloading packages, before finally crashing
and burning with this:

[Massive Snip]

How do I get it to upgrade? :\

I too is having the same problem with locale-gen, after having installed 
the shr-utf8*-packages.
The locale-gen is run by shr-utf8.postinst but it failes with the same 
message as mentioned above.

I modified /usr/sbin/locale-gen and added '-v' to to parameterlist for 
'localedef' and re-ran it manually.

Thanks ! you just encouraged me to work on the next release of tichy.
Starting other applications from tichy is indeed a problem, but there
is an experimental applet -contribution from Michael "Goodwill"-  that
allow to do that. I want to improve this for the next release.

There is currently no way to switch between fullscreen and normal
mode, I will try to implement this, shouldn't be a problem.

The keyboard needs a lot of work too, it is still too slow (I have
some idea why), and as you say, not very good for switching modes.

btw : for some reason, tichy is faster on debian. I think this is
because the ipkg I did didn't compile the C file with optimisation on.
I will also try to solve this.

All in all, that would roughly be my TODO list for next release :
* Redo the Service system (it is too slow and complicated right now.)
* Improve the user interface code (too slow as well, and a little bit messy.)
* Add a GTK backend (that is working already, I just need to make it
easy to configure)
* If possible, improve the keyboard.
* Being able to start external applications.
* Start to work on tests suits, using py.test [0] module.

As I said, I can't really predict how much time I will have to work on
it, so I prefer not to give any date for the next release.

Thanks again for your inputs !

cheers,
Guillaume

you just have to share your OpenMoko knowlegde and write/extend/correct/...
some wiki pages (besides the BuzzFixParty one) - in this case the wiki account
is not unused...

On the other hand less people might read your BuzzFixParty statements then
and therefore your mailing list approach is probably superior in this case

And some kind of noise on the FR screen.
I think it can be caused by wrong file converting.
Or maybe I should try OM2008.12 instead of SFO.

It does report zero (well, in the vicinity of zero), you just have to
calculate it's difference towards the gravity vector (which is in the
vicinity of zero).

Will try that and see what gives.

Well, some confusion here.

OK, let's imagine a _perfect_ accelerometer.
This device would report only acceleration. So, when the phone lies on the
table, it would report 0 (neglecting the rotation of earth here :-)).

Then, to take your phone up to your ear, you first accelerate it upward,
then downward (to stop the movement). If this perfect accelerometer
were reporting accelerations along a Z axis pointing up, it would thus
report first a positive value, then 0, then a negative value (the other
way around if the other convention is used).

Now, lets suppose that this perfect accelerometer is not calibrated correctly,
and offset every values by 900. It will then report first a value >900,
then 900, then a value <900.

This is what you get with the actual accelerometer (*).
So, Z is actually pointing Up.

(*): our accelerometer is not perfect, but not because of a random
offset. It is not perfect because it has no mean to distinguish between
an actual acceleration from the effect of gravity. This is not a
defect and there is no need to send the phone back to OpenMoko :-) because
it is just how nature work 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Elevator_gravity.svg)
The effect of gravity (downwards) is the same as an acceleration (upwards!!)

The freerunner is really a great thing. First it remembers me the good old days
when I was hacking open all the guts of my 8bits computer ; then it remembers me
the good old physic classes ! :-)

Re: Tichy now hosted on google code + release 1.0.0

2009-04-08 Thread Leonti Bielski
So after using it for a while I can say that I'm impressed.

When I first saw tichy on FSO distribution it was slow and I thought
nothing would come out of it.
Thanks for proving me wrong!
I like it's distribution independent approach - It has it's own
keyboard and graphical toolkit - must be a lot of work!

The only thing is that while in fullscreen mode you can run nothing
except for tichy.  I didn't find a way to switch between full screen
mode and normal one.

Also, can you add easier case change for the keyboard? Ruight now if I
wan to write uppercase I have to go through all keyboard to get back
to small letters.

But in overall I like it, and I see that it has made a lot of progress.

Re: Autorun for SD card mechanism?

2009-04-08 Thread Lothar Behrens
Ok, as the idea was good, more thoughts:

1.) Using the sd card to store jet installed application information  
is not good. Then it would only run the first distro switch.
2.) Keep in mind, that packages from the usual opkg may be installed  
in later releases. And it may or may not reinstalled.
3.) Using a database repository in the net to update a local database  
of applications that may installable without problems
per distro.
4.) If a user add's an application with opkg, a choice could be made  
to activate autoinstall for later switches.
5.) If the application isn't in the database on the net, or the local  
copy, add it but mark it as untested.
6.) The database could be used for a hitlist of installed applications  
that would really used, because a reinstall could be counted.
7.) Untested applications that should be installed, could be  
complained about and a choice could be made.
8.) Feedback if successfully installed application makes problems. The  
user should be asked some time later and he/she may make choices
as of like this: 'App1 is usable', 'App2 has problems on this distro'  
and so forth.

That way, we get feedback of the most used applications, we see the  
quality in the installability and we may spot conflicts.

Next, if a distro decides to add an application as default, it could  
be marked as installed by that distro. This leads propably to an  
update process
per distro and thus a local copy (if there will be really some for  
offline installations) could either removed any time - by asking or  
the app on the
card could also get updated.

Keep in mind that there are issues with the applications data. If this  
data is not at least backed up to sd card, a distro switch may kill  
your data :-)

Also keep in mind, that users don't want to give that feedback. We  
don't do it like some companies do collect their statistical :-)

It is not easy and I don't like to only create a quick hack, that  
would not work at all.

I've added ttf-arabeyes:

I think an automated repackaging by SHR can be done for most of the

What is drawn in the wiki is a reference system; in that reference
system the gravity acceleration take the right sign, being  in the same
direction as the z axis.
If you accelerate upwards your phone (with the screen pointing up) with
an acceleration a  you see a greater acceleration a_tot (along the z
direction) that is the sum of gravity acceleration g and your imposed
acceleration a (a_tot=a+g). That means that the force acting on the
phone is equal to the mass of the mobile m time the total acceleration
and you can verify it with a dynamometer.

Re: Autorun for SD card mechanism?

2009-04-08 Thread Pander
good idea. I already have all those files on SD but after each upgrade
have to install them manually, which is annoying.

I would suggest something like:

1) notify user to do an opkg update and opkg upgrade first

2) change to post installation directory
cd /media/card/post

3) change to package directory and install all that is in there
cd packages
opkg install *.ipk *.opk
cd ..

4) override files
cd override
[[copy all files to root of system, e.g. override/etc/blabla to
/etc/blabla]]
cd ..

5) path files
cd patches
[[apply all patchers to root of system]]
cd ..

off course documenting your changes via patches/diffs is preferred over
overriding, allowing improvements in other parts of the files via opkg
upgrade before you start.

Hi Ed,

We are going to put a testing image together for the end of this week.
Because of OM reduced staffing levels some other dates mentioned in the
Release Plan will probably slide a bit.

Most of the features mentioned in the release plan have been
implemented. A few still need some work and hopefully we can get those
finished in short order.

Autorun for SD card mechanism?

2009-04-08 Thread Lothar Behrens
There is an idea rattling in my head about the following issue:

Given I have a micro SD card and that would have all here, what is  
about a bootstrap mechanism to
post install packages that are laying on that card to be installed,  
when a new image is started at first time?

Like the autorun of a CD, this would help to ease the distro switch  
but keep my usual applications that otherwise
have to be installed manually.

This would include SSH settings, WLAN settings, look and feel, and  
what ever may possible.

What about it?

OK untill here.

The reported acceleration is positive, this is a fact (cat /dev/input/event3).
The question is : is a positive acceleration accelerating downward or upward ?

The wiki tells that a positive acceleration is downward (Z axe pointing down).
This is not true, in my opinion.

When standing still, the accelerometer must report an acceleration directed in 
the
_oposite_ direction the the gravitational force. As it is reporting a positive
acceleration, then the Z axe goes up.

And I believe the other axes are inverted as well (which, as suggested by 
Michael,
is easily provable by turning the FR around so that each axes points down).

Thinking about it a bit more, i now understand that if you insist on
talking about accelerations, the Z axis should point upwards.

Not yet. I have grabbed the information from what was available.

So maybe I seek the places and think about these descriptions to  
concentrate it or simply
link them as the steps to do.

Thus I have to backup my settings, grab those needed for the  
functionality and replay the setup
procedure to approve it before writing from my stuff in brain.

I vagually remember a mail I have sent about the Jabra BT issue here.  
I must search for it :-)

I beg to disagree. If you are talking about acceleration of the sensor
itself then you'll see that: 1. it's not actually accelerating if you
attach a reference frame to the Earth (the freerunner is laying
still). 2. The gravitational force applied to the sensor is directed
to the center of the Earth, so the reported "acceleration" should be

Yes... New version does it too (I've not the needed oss module [I've it

Re: Watching videos on neo freerunner (openmoko 2008.12) mplayer-glamo

2009-04-08 Thread Lothar Behrens
This is really good news!

I have measured about 70% to 80% with mplayer.

Hey and when you use vdr (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Disk_Recorder 
) and a plugin to transcode it for small screens, you could watch tv  
live!

I have tried that and it works very well. Now I have made a small  
video, recording the Neo and in paralell my Mac with sound.
Indeed my sound on the neo is routed to my Jabra 3030 BT device, so it  
is a nice TV for looking in bed, before giong to sleep.

What about the law to publish the video?

How small should it be - 1 minute?

It's german news from today at about 13:15 from ZDF.

We could do such stuff - right and legal to demonstrate the features  
and try to bring such presentations to the press.
As I read an article, most companies would be likely show only the  
positive things in their advertisement and wrap the
not so good features with long technical specifications. This is a  
marketing trick.

Here, the heise publisher reports about the tricks: 
http://www.heise.de/ct/Spar-Schweinereien--/artikel/135132
I don't know, if this article is also published in english.

So keep on going to produce 'good' press materal and find sponsors to  
publish them!

Or even simply keep staying legal with the content.

What do you think?

The video that is recorded is about 1GB. I can try to work on it, but  
I need some ideas about the length the TV recordings must be at maximum.

Someone - somewhere - wrote a script that one can use to run a
program. The script changes the behavious of AUX button, in this case
it's used as ESC (or F11 or something, can't remember) and would allow
you to change between normal/full screen mode. Can't remember where
was it, someone else maybe? But the idea was to map the in put of AUX
to F11/ESC as long as the app runs.

i don't have a wiki account (and consideriung the number of unsued

somewhere i am not inclined, to create one).
but i want to come -- if braunschweig is not flooded by the working  
masses, demonstrating, drinking and fighting for their rights, i'd prefer  
the 1th.

if the participation is too uneven, i'm ok even with the 2nd or 3d.

so far i bring one freerunner, but i offered a while ago to take some with  
me and there was one response.

so if someone in the hamburg area wnats to get his/her freerunner fixed  
but can't come, drop a mail.

be sure, though, tzo back up your device and mark all parts (battery,  
back, main part).

Yes I think that's right. If you hold the Freerunner that any arrow of an axis 
points to the earth middlepoint then the sown value must be negative.

Accelerometer wiki page erroneous axes ?

2009-04-08 Thread rixed
Please have a look at the "accelerometer data retrieval" wiki page at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Accelerometer_data_retrieval .

It is said that "the Z axis is pointing from the display downwards to to the
back of the openmoko". In my opinion this is false and all other axes
my be inverted as well.

The confusion seams to originates from the Z value you read from the
accelerometer which is positive when the phone lies horizontally. But the fact
that the gravitation vector G points downward means that the acceleration
measured by the sensor is actually upward : gravitationnal force is equivalent
to an acceleration in the other direction (remember the elevator analogy :
beeing pulled down toward the ground by gravity is equivalent to standing in an
elevator that continuously accelerate _upward_ in the absence of gravity).

So, the fact that when idle the accelerometers report a positive Z value
implies that the Z axe is actually upward.

Agree ?

I'm very happy in reading this! FSO actually is the only real thingh that
lets survive the idea of open phones. With a rock solid framework taking
care of all the underlying dirty work, writing some GUI interfaces is only a
matter of time and may be done by community.
About hardware, to have an usable phone we need a well supported hardware
with a good kernel and good chip's firmwares (e.g. gsm).
In my experience was that the problem with the freerunner, in one year I
spent huge time on the device and encountered a lot of problems, sd card
partition table corruption, problems with suspend/resume, WSOD, NSOD, glamo
mci spare problems, gsm hopping, my vodafone card was not recognized before
the latest gsm firmware updates, and many others that did not let me use the
freerunner as a daily phone.
That's the reason I really HOPE that OM will continue at least in kernel and
low-level firmware developing, after all a stable Freerunner may be not so
bad, and may be selled for a long time, funding OM and growing the
community, and this is very important!

Thanks for your effort!

Best Regards

Nicola

It is a huge improvement!
The only problem I see is that if you rotate view to read lanscape it doesn't 
scroll if you reach the end of page.

Would it be possible to add some "gesture" or similar to leave full screen?
Now you can only leave it closing application.

Let me assure you I'm not even close to anything resembling relaxed. :-)

Not coding much at the moment, but trying to disprove the myths that
seem to surround GTA02 like a foul stench.

If you look at where the FSO team came from it should be clear that FSO
will continue. I personally couldn't really imaging going back from my
Freerunner to a non-open phone. Crappy as it may be in terms of
usability I can do stuff on it that just wont happen anywhere else.

Re: Upadated - Intone (0.21 - alpha release) Elementary based mplayer frontend

2009-04-08 Thread c_c

Hi,

...but /home/root/.intone/intone_songs.db was one of the files in the package 
(as shown by "opkg files intone") so the
songs db was overwritten on the install with the one from the package.

Actually, the db file was in /usr/share/intone in version .20. I changed the 
location to ~/.intone only in version .21
But point taken - will cater for such situations. Some guys might have custom 
playlists which could be cumbersome to recreate.

By the way when adding files it would be nice to have (if not a progress bar) a 
message of the form "Adding directory %s, %d files scanned"

Will try to fit that in too! Have already added a feature where if you exit 
when paused, the next run will automatically start from the song at its paused 
position.
