[QtMoko/Debian] Python2.6 / AGTL
Hi all, Happy Holidays / New Year! I recently decided to try out QtMoko, and so far I like it! However, I really miss the great AGTL (http://www.opkg.org/package_268.html) geocaching package that was available on the SHR distros. I tried to unpack the ipk and install it myself (as it's just a python app...so should work) However, it requires python2.6, and all I could find in the repos was python2.5. I couldn't seem to find an armv4 python2.6 package anywherehas anyone else tried to get this working? Are there some other armv4 debian repos that I am missing? Thanks, -Dan Staley ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Im on SHR testing and have installed pingus. When i try to run it i get a similar message as above but it says unable to set video mode: No video mode large enough for 640x480 Which i think is strange because it rotates the screen before it fails and its the correct resolution that it has no video mode for.

Re: UBI success story

UBI success story
Hello, I tried to use SHR the ubi images on my freerunner, but they did not work. Does someone know the parameters which are passed to mkfs.ubifs? I think that the ubi fileystem is created for NAND flashes with subpage support, but this feature does not work on the freerunner. Passing -s 2048 should create a working image (but I did not verify this yet). Using the ubi filesystem on the freerunner is not an easy task. A ubi image can't be flashed using nandwrite. I'm not sure about dfu-util, but probably it uses the same technique as nandwrite and therefore won't work too. I did a manual installation (untar SHR into a mounted ubifs) using archmobile installed on SD. If the SHR ubi image is created with the right parameters ubiformat or ubiupdatevol could be used to install the image. For a easy installation with dfu-util, u-boot would need support for ubi images. I used the newest kernel (om-gta02-2.6.32), but a older one should work too. Step-by-step, I did: - Prepare a SD card with archmobile. Any distro should work as long as it provides the mtd-utils package (ubiattach, ubimkvol, ..) - Copy the kernel to the SD-Card. I used the same kernel to create the ubi filesystem which will be used to run shr. This should not be necessary, but YMMV. - Boot from SD - ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 6 -O 2048 If this does not work, try to run ubiformat /dev/mtd6 -s 2048 -O 2048 first. If this fails too, erase the flash with flash_eraseall /dev/mtd6. Now ubiattach should succeed. - ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs -m - mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt - tar -xzf -C /mnt - umount /mnt - ubidetach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m6 If everything worked you end up with a ubifs containing SHR, but it won't boot. ;) To fix this, we need to tell the kernel that the mtd partition 6 contains a ubi volume which contains the ubifs rootfs: rootfstype=ubifs ubi.mtd=6,2048 root=ubi0:rootfs. For a "normal" boot qi passes rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6 to the kernel. Just changing the boot params within the kernel configuration does not work. Therefore I patched qi :) - Download a git snapshot and modify src/cpu/s3c2442/gta02.c. The interesting lines are at the bottom of the file. - Compile: make CPU=s3c2442 - Flash: dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D image/qi-s3c2442-master_*.udfu Do not forget to flash the kernel, if needed. Reboot. Good luck! Christoph P.S. My SHR is not working yet. There are some issues with kernel 2.6.32, but that's a different story. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hardware acceleration in a proper way is not implemented (probably yet, the work to get all the needed pieces like KMS/DRI2/Gallium3D...) and never was. The hacked version of mplayer worked for some people for some time, probably you can reproduce that state using some particular mplayer and X driver versions. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Why don't you use an unencrypted partition for the distribution and use an encrypted partition on the sd-card (maybe luks or anythign else) for your sensitive data? If you encrypt the whole distribution i think it will be unusable slow because of lack of cpu power. So only encrypt the sensitive data. But even this could lead to a very high cpu load. > Games: > > Can you just compile the games on your open moko or is there more work to > then just type make && install?

You could just compile the games but you have to use games which runs without keyboard on a touchscreen or only by mouse. In debian you could use many precompiled games from the repository.

More Questions about Encrypting, Internet Access and Games
Hi thank you for you answers. May I ask some more questions: Encryption: Is there an easy way to encrypt the whole disk (except /boot)? Like in Ubuntu Alternate the install option "install to encrypted LVM"? Or will you have to do it manualy by many complicated console commands? I think too the typing of the password is a problem. Can you load the touchscreen software with /boot or isnt it possible. Is it possible to enter the Password with an USB keyboard? Internet: Can I use EDGE with the Freerunner? What is the maximum upload and download the Freerunner can use? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPRS Games: Can you just compile the games on your open moko or is there more work to then just type make && install? Have I to change small parts of the code like the resolution in a c file? Or have I to do some serious port work? Videos: I read (article from 2008) the Glamo Drivers causing lots of troubles but with some hacks you can at least use the glamo for viewing MPEG4 videos. Is it activated in the standard video player when you open a movie or have you to type mplayer -vx ... everytime? Can the glamo now normaly used (for games or videos) isn't it still possible due driver problems?
