Raster's Image and chatting on the moko!

2008-08-18 Thread Dan Staley
Hi everyone,

I recently flashed an image created by Raster (from a recent version of
the ASU dev tree but with his modifications...most noticably the
keyboard is changed to a modified version of the illume keyboard...and
very works very well!)  I think Raster mentioned that it can accept any
dictionary file for the predictive part of the keyboard, and you can
easily switch dictionaries with the top left button.  (Not to mention
there is a full qwerty keyboard option included!  Terminal friendly
ASU!)

Anyway, I just wanted to comment that with it, and several other recent
programs, I was able to very easily connect to a wifi network (via
terminal), connect my bluetooth keyboard, and chat in the #openmoko IRC
room via pidginand it worked great!  I've also used this image for a
couple days as my main phone and it seems to be pretty stable and
usable.  It wakes up out of suspend on phone calls and with the usual
mods to the gsmhandset.state file, it sounds fine. 

To see pics and descriptions of what I used, see here:
http://www.bufferunderflow.com/?entry=6

(Remember, Raster gets all the credit!  I'm just trying to spread the
good word about the image!)

Connecting your computer to the Internet through your FreeRunner!

Hi all,

I documented the steps to connect your computer to the internet through 
the FreeRunner's GPRS connection.  You can find the instructions here:

Hopefully someone can pick it up and make it easier for the average

You can specify the timeouts in seconds /etc/frameworkd.conf, e.g.:

[idlenotifier]
IDLE_DIM = 1

Since we just integrated illume though, it could be that illume still tries to 
blank the screen after a while. I don't know offhand how to configure Illume. 

The general problem is that Illume does not really talk with the middleware 
yet (another artefact of that is that you still see carrier name and signal 
strength being painted by Zhone, instead of illume, where it should belong 
to). We're going to fix all of this hopefully until ms3.




It sounds like he's tired of pressing 1, 2, 3, 4 to answer the phone, 
not worried about the screen dimming


The attached patch to zhone disables its screen locker by making it drop 
the incoming dbus signal.  Since it's written in python, I applied it 
directly to my phone, then restarted zhone.


Is there a better way to configure zhone than editing its source? ;)

Gypsy uses GTK+ (or more specifically GObject) which is not present in Qtopia 
which is QT based.

Seeing as I use Qtopia, this is kind of important to me.

That doesn't work if you connect, get a fix and disconnect. From the FAQ...

Why does my single-shot query fail to return fix data?

This is closely related to the previous item.

The old-style query commands such as P and A are are safe to use with J=1 if 
you're polling 
repeatedly, but they're a dicey way to go if you're opening a channel to gpsd, 
doing a single-shot 
query, and then hanging up. Even repeating the query a few times won't 
necessarily work.

The problem is that your queries are in a race with the daemon's logic for 
assigning and 
initializing a GPS. It won't try to assign a GPS to your channel until the 
first command that 
demands actual device information.

Then the race begins. The daemon will be interleaving reads of whatever packet 
fragments the GPS is 
shipping with reads from your client socket. It is entirely possible that the 
rest of your commands 
will get processed before the daemon reads and processes enough GPS sentences 
to get a fix — 
especially if the serial device is slow and the GPS has a long initialization 
sequence.

(A similar race existed in gpsd versions before multi-device support was added 
in 2.21; if you 
issued a query too soon after device open it would fail in exactly this way.)

The right way to code your client is to set watcher mode and read a couple of O 
responses before 
trying to parse one. That way the daemon paces the action, actually telling the 
client when it 
receives packets.

To be certain of having full fix data, you'd need to wait for as many O 
responses as there are 
sentences that set fix data in the device's normal cycle. For SiRFs, one read 
will do because 
normally only one sentence in the cycle ships fix data. For NMEA devices you 
don't have a full fix 
before five reads, enough for an entire GPRMC/GPGGA/GPVTG/GPGLL/GPGSV cycle in 
whatever permutation 
the device ships it.

In practice, three O reads will always be enough to get you some fix 
information — worst case is 
your first O came from a GPGSA and all you get is a mode, and then you get 
GPVTG, but you'll always 
get lat/lon on the next O.

Clients that poll P or A repleatedly won't have a problem; the race effects 
will show up but be 
limited to noise in the first few seconds of samples.

gpsd seems to work fine for me, and I can develop my app on my host, and 
connect to it over the USB

Other than the documented problems with the 5 reads to get the fix.

Isn't gypsy [1] used on some builds?
Perhaps build a logger to use either gpsd or gypsy.
Gypsy, Python examples are available [2].

Regarding the resulting logs :
Would be nice for choose what format; text, xml, yaml, sqlite
Start with plain text, with the expectation that someone will want
another format.

What columns for store, time,long,lat.  timezone, time format.

in ASU (2008.08) you hav the qtopia keyboard - not illume. they are
surprisingly similar in default mode. illume's has 2 menus (top left/right)
top-left is for selecting word matches and changing dictionary files, the
top-right for selecting keyboard layout. slide down for enter, up to switch
layouts left for backspace and right for "finish word, select default match and
add a space". that's illume's keyboard and it's used in FSO. 2008.08 is another
matter.

(illume's keyboard allows you to create your own custom layouts, add lots of
keys with accented characters, write your own flat-files for dictionaries etc.).

so the problem is there is a huge volume of confusion regarding "keyboards"
right now.

Re: Third request: what *is* the warranty on the Freerunner?

2008-08-18 Thread Steve Mosher
  I have a tiny tiny head so all the hats fit.

we are putting together a policy for people who bought from the openmoko 
store. there are several issues. We offer a 14 day DOA Warrenty and a 28 
day warrenty for 10 packs. The issue is what does DOA mean? Dead on Arrival.

If your GSM doesnt work, but getting a download fixes it? is that DOA?
If your GSM doesnt work but getting a new card fixes it? is that DOA?
same with GPS, did the software download fix it?

If you send the phone back and it works  fine, what to do?
if you send back a phone and it works fine, who pays for shipping?

Now in the US at retail you can return something if the sky is blue.
We can't work that way and build a open source phone. well, we can
but the cost of blue sky returns would have to be added to the phone.

In the end, as micheal will tell you, I work every case. So, If you have 
a problem, email me or micheal. tell us that you tried the fixes we 
suggested. And we will work from there.

Try to install MokoMake on openSuSE 11 fails

2008-08-18 Thread Lothar Behrens

Hi,

I have followed the instructions to install my OpenMoko development  
machine.


The difference is that I am using openSuSE 11 instead of 10.3.

One package was not installable via Yast (help2man) => Downloaded  
orginal source tgz and built it. Ok


Installing BitBake was also not possible via Yast. Downloaded the  
package from BerlinOS.


Here are the problems:

setup.py was able to build, but not to install the package. There is a  
directory /usr/lib/python2.5/config

and thus inside this file: Makefile

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Lothar

There's no distributor for Brazil. I became part of a group in the USA
- I have contacts there - but there hasn't been a 900mhz phone sold
via the online store yet. My group was assured you could mix 900mhz /
850mhz phones, bought a 850mhz phone that I can't use, and is waiting
to exchange it. I've been reading this list forever without a phone to
use. I understand your strategy may make general sense, but there be
casualties. Just ranting.

Any rough idea of when 900mhz phones will be available via the online store?

Re: tiny stylus in lanyard hole (warning: half-assed)

haha. I had the the same idea, except the stylus would be a bit longer
and be L shaped with the short end of the "L" stuck in the foam
and the long part of the "L" rested againt the back of the phone.
If you get my drift.

Yes, that is the only downside of this keyboard. The gestures and features are 
not easy to discover. But besides that I can write SMS and names during a

Cool, I just looked at the packages. The main package will install wxconfig 
and the -dev package should contain all headers. I assume our toolchain 
contains g++. The task of the distro team is to enable people to write and 
port software so feedback of what was easy, hard, impossible is welcome.

Re: stupid guy! thinks it's a train wreck!

2008-08-18 Thread Steve Mosher
well, we just revamped the whole site so we will find a way to add 
descriptions of the various software stacks.

  1. shipping stack 2007. basic functionality. telephony, SMS, contacts.
  2. Download  stack: qtopia, a more polished end user experience, but
  it still has some bugs and doesnt fully expose all the hardware 
features
  3. Download stack OM 2008. it's pre beta, but represents our way 
forward and will expose all the new hardware.
  4. FSO. the new framework. It has some sample apps, like telephony.
  5. Debian. I havent even looked at this yet.

Freedom is a bit messy

As for new product in our store. Our distrubtors continue to take 
everything we can build. So, check with them first. Its the same
product with the same or better pricing.Our goal is not to be in the 
retail side of selling product but to empower our distributors.
Otherwise I have to spend a large amount of money building up a sales
and marketing staff. I would rather spend our money on engineering.
I would rather let those folks who already run distribution centers
use their expertise. So please check out the distributors. They
provide the same product at comparable prices.

Re: GPS logger / field data collection

2008-08-18 Thread Jim Morris
Hi Brian,

I like this idea, I just added gpsd to my Qtopia build, and added some simple
code to my Qtopia based sunset calculator I wrote eons ago for my Zaurus, the 
GPS part
simply gets current lat and long to calculate sunset/sunrise at your current 
location.
Previously I had a city selector for that.

I also wanted a pedometer, and I like the idea of a data logger, because I can 
post process the data 
with numerous things.

I was kind of surprised that gpsd didn't give me a simple way to just get the 
current location, I 
had to capture 5 sentences to do that simple thing, but what I really wanted 
was to simply get the 
last known lat and long I was at. With the data logger I can presumably do that 
by getting the last 
entry of the log.

I think the first thing to answer is the log format, any progress on defining 
that?

I'll work on code to extract the log info for a simple pedometer, also if you 
can define the log 
format I may be able to write an initial logger.

I think the logger needs to be platform independent as I will be writing all my 
code for Qtopia, but 
obviously we have 3 of 4 platforms to deal with, and only the graphical part 
will be different. 
(GTK/X vs QT/FB).

I also write in Ruby whenever possible, so we probably need a library that can 
read the log format 
from c/c++/python/ruby etc. (XML would be able to do that but I agree probably 
too verbose, how 
about tokenized XML?)

BTW my pedometer should be able to tell me the average , max & min speed I 
walked, and the total 
time and distance pretty simple stuff.

GPS logger / field data collection

One of the main reasons I got my Freerunner was to play with its GPS
features. I want to be able to use it as a replacement for
closed-source applications like TDS Solo Field and ESRI ArcPad.
Especially I want something that would facilitate my volunteer
"citizen scientist" work

At the rate I am going I will probably never have more than 15 minutes
a day to work towards this.
In spite of this I decided to spell out what I have been thinking
about in a wiki page because it would take too much space here and I
think the interest might not be high enough to clutter up this very
busy list with yet another very involved topic.

I have a GPS in my pocket most of the time. I use a Garmin on my
bicycles and on hikes. I have used various TDS and Trimble and ESRI
products. Being a software developer I want something that I can tweak
and tune and none of these commercial products even comes close to
what I have in mind.

Therefore I started this page:

I agree.  I think the issue is that people don't realize it's a finger 
keyboard.  I showed it to my friends at work and they said "That's really 
small!" and they laughed, having just bragged about their iphone.. and then I 
typed in their names in about 1 second each and it dawned on them that it's

It's also not immediately evident that you can hold a letter and type words 
that aren't in the dictionary.

Perhaps this calls for little tooltips for new users.

Python has Qt bindings as well, if you use Qtopia.

Hi all,
simple dirty question:
does OpenMoko support WxPython? Or developers *must* use only PyGtk? If
don't, will be any possibility to have WxPython supported in future on

NEO1973/GTA01 GSM End User-upgradable firmware

2008-08-18 Thread Salah Coronya
I'm an owner of a Neo1973 / GTA01. On the wiki, it mentions:

12/09/2007 - We've been informed that everything legal has been agreed
upon by all parties regarding the process that would allow you to
upgrade your own GSM firmware. All that remains is to get everything
signed. Apparently the process of getting things signed takes a few
weeks!

That was 8 months ago. What is the status of a solution to allow us
end-users to upgrade the firmware?

On a side note, I don't suppose a program for us Neo1973 owners to
swap our phone for a discount on a Neo Freerunner has been considered
(especially if the only way to get the GSM firmware update is to mail
it for service)? I live in North America, and the Neo1973 is geared
toward European frequencies; the power consuption on the Neo1973 makes
it virtually unusable as a phone, and now most of the development
effort is being directed toward the Freerunner and I'm afraid us
Neo1973 owners will be left in the dark with an almost unusable phone.

Re: stupid guy! thinks it's a train wreck!

2008-08-18 Thread Stroller
If you're referring to "lin2log" in the YouTube comments, then I  
don't think that's the guy who made the video. The video itself shows  
the name "Dave Freyam" when it opens, and he posted the video  
elsewhere about a week before that link was uploaded to YouTube.

I don't think Freyam's done a fair review of the Freerunner, but I do  
credit him with more intelligence than that displayed by "lin2log".  
The comments that I attribute to Freyam seem to mostly have been  
posted using a nick / username of KirrinDave, and they're at least  
grammatically correct.

 From my interaction with Freyam, he seems mostly to be responding to  
the FSF article which disses the iPhone and offers Openmoko / the  
Freerunner as a potential alternative. I might speculate that one of  
Freyam's buddies or office-mate's bought a Freerunner on the basis of  
this, and he feels short-changed because he wasn't aware of the  
Freerunner's development status at the time of purchase. To be  
completely fair to him if you go tot he Openmoko.com online store [1] 
[2] there's no indication that the Freerunner is anything less than a  
completed (and fully-polished) product.

Indeed, I too found out that the keyboard in default 2008.8 is only "plain
english", but I'm Dutch, and most of my texts would be in Dutch as well. So
that makes that keyboard less than functional for me.

BTW, as a test, I tried to type "Laporte" with the keyboard, since I heard
from Leo Laporte that on the Iphone his name was very hard to type. And it
seems that it's just impossible to type it on the Openmoko 2008.8 stock
keyboard.

I'm also going to test how to work with the keyboard when in a terminal
mode, since I'm yet to be able to hit enter after entering a command.
(typing the command works, but then pressing enter to execute it has yet to
function for me) I could be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure.

No cross-compiling needed, just copy sources to Freerunner and 'make'

There are just couple of modification. Main point is that images must

Hey

He did bother to make a video. It doesn't seem like he's using the
time to just rip on OM, but he is bringing up specific issues.

The screen really is too small to finger-tap a keyboard so it's
unfortunate he's fixating on that particular issue (well maybe a
redesigned keyboard would work in landscape mode...)

My thought as I watched it was "which OS should he really be trying out?"

Yeah what an eyeroller :p

I've said this before, but I think openmoko should not have shipped this 
version of the phone with any software.  The big problem people have with this 
(and with Linux on the PC) is that they're used to having no choice.

They're used to being told exactly what on-screen keyboard they have to use, 
and what interface they have to bring up their software, and when they're 
allowed to cough or scratch their butts.  When they see the nasty matchbox 
keyboard, they balk and say 'This is what they've given us?  That makes this 
$400 investment totally useless!!  Might as well pitch it out now!  Might as 
well use it as a paperweight!' or whatever their complaint is, they assume it 
means the device is flawed.

I've encountered the same ignorance when trying to explain Linux on the desktop 
as well.  People will complain and say 'They make you type in commands?  How 
primitive!' when they see me using the console.  Or they'll say 'Why don't they 
just use a taskbar?  Linux sucks.' when using Gnome, and the idea of installing 
KDE instead is totally alien to them.

I don't think we can call them 'stupid', just misinformed, really.  It's a 
cultural thing that's going to require a lot of education.  Although, it does 
smack of nitpicking sometimes.

Another fundimental problem is that people don't realize getting an unlocked 
iPhone costs twice as much as an openmoko phone.

Short update, in case somebody is waiting: The adaptors arrived but they
have only 2 rings and don't fit well to the freerunner (stereo-sound
only with fiddling). I've asked for replacement and am waiting for an
answer now.

At the moment ordering this adaptor isn't recommendable.

In FSO just go into the terminal and do "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" and

Yorick,

I've been working on learning Python.  After your last email I was
inspired to try writing my own agps_online.py   I got to try playing
with sockets and learned something new.  So it was interesting to
compare what I wrote with agps-alm.py that you had attached.  I'm happy
to say that my implementation wasn't that bad but agps-alm.py does seem
more elegant.  I'll have to actually try them tomorrow.

Thanks for locating and sending the script,
digger

Re: Replacing the Openmoko Touchscreen

2008-08-18 Thread John Koenig
It seems possible to get it replaced and it is pretty reasonable in 
terms of price as well (57 USD + 20 USD for shipping) .  I have been in 
communication with this Chinese reseller:

http://www.qinyielectronics.com

I am going to be completing the transaction with them today.  If you 
want to hold off purchasing until after I receive mine; I will be sure 
to post up the aftermath.  At least that way if they are fraudulent only 
one of us will be out the cash ;). 

Otherwise, it is possible to remove the screen and it required nothing 
more than the guitar pick that I used to open the case.  The only tricky 
part was the connection to the main board.  There is a small black 
locking mechanism that flips up and allows for the LCD panel to be 
disconnected from the main board.

I haven't heard much from Koolu (my reseller) yet as to whether or not 
they would be willing to RMA the system.  Last time they checked in with 
me they were contacting the manufacturer to "see if it was even possible."

Re: FSO vs. OM2008.8

2008-08-18 Thread Erland Lewin
Well, telephony under OM2008.8 doesn't work for me (bug #1766,
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1766), so I'm trying to install FSO.

If I understand correctly, telephony is handled differently in 2008.8 and
FSO, where it's a qtopia app in 2008.8, and FSO is writing a dbus service to
handle telephony. Long term, it seems better to work on the FSO services
than the QTopia apps.

I'm trying to install FSO on my SD card, but having problems which I asked
about in a previous e-mail to the list today.

I'm not very keen on getting a whole new freerunner just because the screen

OK, thanks for this info. 

Acutally, when trying FSO I had the feeling it might be a bit faster
starting applications. However, didn't perform any measurements.

Navit language?

2008-08-18 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi everybody,

i want to change the default language in which navit speaks to german
but i don't find the necessary config for this. I use rev 1255 with map
move speed patch and everything (else) works fine. :)

Now i tried a simple "export LANG=de_DE" and started navit but this
seems to have no effect at all. I also installed the package
"navit-locale-de" for this purpose.

I see that in the source tree within the directory "po" all the language
files exist. I also changed the navit.xml entry for the speech engine to
"spd-say -l de '%s'" which pronounces the sentences the german way. But
the sentence strings still comes in english to the speech engine.

I tried to find the needed information in the navit wiki, but i only
found the needed changes to the speech entry in the navit.xml. But this
entry just changes the way the sentence is spoken, not the language
navit reports the sentences. :(

Can anybody say me where the option to change the language is?
Or must it be compiled with the wanted language and it can't be changed
afterwards?

Ciao,
 Rainer

The calibration still isn't correct, that's true. But the software part of 
changing the orientation in the xserver is just fine.

What do you mean with "especially" ?
For me, it works as for OM2008.8 : there is always a problem with screen 
calibration when horizontal ...
Not with your's ?

nice one :p well check this one out... this is the stylus all of you need to
go and get it now, it's the 'fashion' :p

"One of our customers asked for a clip to keep their tethered stylus from
dangling. So, we found the perfect clip to keep the tethered stylus, inkless
stylus, finger or pen cap stylus in place. Clip has an adhesive pad that
sticks to most surfaces. Great way to keep your TrueTip styli in one
location! Bag of 10 white clips."

I know there are many accessory kits for the Nintendo DS that have this 
kind of finger stylus, and they are cheap (I've seen in a market a kit 
with several stylus for 3 or 4 euros).

I'll see this evening if my girlfriend has one for her DS Lite (I 
remember having seen one) to test it on my FR.

Nicolas.

Re: FSO vs. OM2008.8

2008-08-18 Thread arne anka
> I wonder whether to use FSO or OM2008.8 on my freerunner. What are the

fso is rather a design study -- it's intended to be a vehicle to develop a  
framework which applications might use to communicate with each other and  
the device.
right now there's not much more but phone, sms, contacts and a gps  
application.

for the merger: shr attempts to reach that goal, i don't know if there's a  
release already.

for the time being 2008.8 might be the better choice -- it offers the same  
functionality as fso but a lot of additional applications, too.
