Re: [shr-t] Contacts crash upon startup

2009-12-12 Thread Denis Johnson
I'm have the lite image with no additional installed packages, and I
have been experiencing various crashes of the contacts app, sometimes
just scrolling, sometimes if you just remove a field label and save.
It started to just crash on startup so I rebooted and now it starts
but is completely blank.

If someone who knows what I can provide to help debug this then let me know.

cheers Denis

 Hi,

 I'm running shr-testing with up-to-date opkg upgrades and pisi-imported
 contacts (from evolution exported vcf). Unfortunately, the latter
 combination seems to cause the Contacts application to crash right after
 I start it (it will only show up for a moment, sometimes only blank,
 sometimes blank at first, then briefly with my contacts list before
 crashing). I have to admit that I don't really know how to provide
 meaningful debug information (how do I start Contacts from the
 terminal?), so I'd be glad for any hints.

 On a side note, my sms messages are attributed to the wrong people, ie a
 message i got from A's phone number shows up to be by B. The issue might
 also have to do with encoding, as the names in the messages include
 strange entities -- and those entities are different every time I start
 the messages app (eg instead of Dr. Someone, it's sometimes x9
 Someone or anglesquare Someone or whatever...)

 And, finally, up to recently, every time I made a call, the screenlock
 showed Diane D. is calling -- though there's no one with that name in
 my contacts. Whatever relict is that?

 Kind regards
 Bernhard

 With which software do you design the dockingstation? I have some
 experience with blender. If you use it, I could help.

 I didnt modelled the iphone docking station. If I would model a docking
station
 then it would be definietly an openmoko one, not an iphone one.

 I just printed the model out.

 Still you can help modelling a docking station. I have something in
mind, that
 the mouth of the docking station would be at least two times bigger
than the
 phone periphery, and would have a form of a cone.

 So I could basically just throw the phone into, and it would
 automagically plug itself in.
I guess that this is very hard to achieve, because the dockingstation
then has to be designed and printed very exactly.

 I use A* for routing, it is usable, but still not what I expect.

 rerouting now and to test it in real life

I don't have any idea, how the code looks like, but I guess, that you
use gps-positions as heuristic and distances as edge-weights. That
means that you always get the shortest path. If you want  to get the
fastes path, then you have to use timevalues calculated by possible
speed and edge-length. With openstreetmaps that can be difficult,
because many roads don't have any speedsproperties. You often only can
use the roadtype depending on country to guess the speed.
Maybe you used this, but in a first shit, I guess that you don't.

I hope these ideas can help you improving your tool.

Good idea for other things - Was: Homemade USB gamepad (NeoPlay)

2009-12-12 Thread Lothar Behrens
Hi,

it is an interesting idea, but also it would be a starting point to  
create additional power contacts to the adapter.
Then a simple charging housing could be created to get rid of my  
troubles in my car adapter.

I always need to fiddle the USB cable into the neo and this could then  
avoided.

What about such an adapter?

 The electronical part is based on Raphaël Assénat's [1] USB game

bigger font for shr-messages

2009-12-12 Thread Ed Kapitein
Hi all,

I would like to set a bigger font for shr-messages.
I am not using shr-unstable, but Gentoo with the matchbox window manager.

Any idea on how and where to set the font definition?

dbus deb with increased timeout

2009-12-12 Thread arne anka
hi,
after hours of struggling with debian's djungle of ways to build a package  
i finally succeeded to cross compile dbus with an increased timeout.
reason: for months now i was fighting with zhone taking several attempts  
(4 to 5 ususally, often at least one restart of frameworkd and sometimes  
even reboots) to pop up the pin dialog.

after installing the newly built packages, the dialog popped up at the  
first try. i restarted to be sure and again it was there the first attempt.
for those struggling with the same problem in debian, here's the debs:

Re: [shr-t] Contacts crash upon startup

2009-12-12 Thread Bernhard Reiter
okay, i found some debug info with some hints by playya of
#openmoko-cdevel.

to start contacts from terminal:
phoneui-contacts

(which again doens't really start contacts here)

log found at:

doesn't look too suspicious to me, though. 

anyone know any other log files that could help?

 Hi,

 My moko got lost. Whether it got stolen or whether it just fell out of
 my pocket, I have no idea. Today I felt pretty sad and I had some time
 to think about things every distribution should have just to make sure
 someone will not slam his head against the wall, repetitively, again and
 again, like I did, for not installing some basic stuff that might
 prevent these things from happening.

 1. Sms sentry. Put that application, or a similar one, in every light
 image we got: It will reply the GPS coordinates when texting
 sentry:location to moko.
 2. When another sms is send we should be able to put the volume to max
 and play a voice saying: PLEASE RETURN THIS PORTABLE, IT IS LOST AND THE
 OWNER TRIES TO FIND IT. I'd be happy to record that voice. And display
 contact information on the screen delivered by sms.

 What do you guys think? Saving €230 with 5 lines of code seems a big
 deal to me (€230 + sim card + personal configurations + a lot more
 personal stuff actually).


It's very sad to know of this.

I hope you can continue to be part of this community by getting another 
open phone (fancy a new Freerunner?)

Best,
Rui
