I do know it does all the pedometer functions you were asking about (maybe not min speed, but definitely max and avg.). Perhaps you should look into that project. I will, thank you. I have no interest in inventing a new binary format. There should be something out there that is open and compact. (There should be, he said. Ha) IMO, just use the raw Ublox binary format. It's rather simple to decode. I have already implemented a binary decoder for the Ublox binary format based on Ublox open documentation of the protocol. My plan is to release this code under the GPL at some point. Once I receive my free runner I will start by releasing a binary decoder. In the time being I can probably release a Windows only converter from this Ublox format to a csv format if you are interested. I've tried TangoGPS, it's a nice program. I've read about it on its web site and looked at the source code. Problem is that the GUI source code is GTK and very hard to follow IMHO. I am personally proficient in Qt4 so I am interested in participating in a project that will create a GPS navigation app in C++ using Qt4. Here is my roadmap more or less: 1) port my Ublox decoder to linux and openmoko. I plan to use CMake as the build system. 2) add some logger functionality to the program above so that some Ublox logs can be requested. 3) implement an ephemeris and almanac saving and restoring solution 4) do the same as above for some SBAS messages if possible (not sure it is) 5) implement a simple Qt4 navigation program using openmap.

Re: Customize Debian image in a mini desktop
It looks really nice. :) But i would suggest to change the modifier action from one mouse click to double click. On a touchscreen it is hard to flew over the icons to show the quicktip and not activate/deactivate the function. This would also prevent unintentional acivation or deactivation. Also it would be really nice if the battery popup (after klicking it) shows the actual state (charging/discharging and actual current) which is readable from sysfs. At the moment it only shows the actual battery state in percent when i'm right. Keep up the good work.

Re: 2008.08 zecke gstreamer errors
For what its worth, I figured out that the problem was related to how the music data was stored. The music was being kept on an ext3-formated second partition of the SD card. Despite having the correct references in fstab and Qtopia's Storage.conf, the data was not being read correctly. I could, however, play the music through gstreamer directly and using madplay. When I changed to a single partition, fat-formatted data store everything magically worked.

Re: New openmoko packages database
this is another question better to me... this is an openmoko opkg system issue XD 2008/8/24 Rui Miguel Silva Seabra [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not talking about the design, but the purpose, maybe you could shift its design into a more benefic one? Encoraging users, specially the less savvy ones, to install software like that is a danger and the reason why Apple's decision is both bad and right at the same time. The main problem with Apple's decision to only run cryptographically signed software, is that you don't own the keys, Apple does. So they control what you can install. I urge that opkg be modified in order to install packages only if they're signed, and that it takes excrutiantingly painful paths in order to install something without a signature (if you want an example, Firefox's excellent new Bad Certificate warning, many hate it because they find it a hinderance to read and learn, but they made the right decision).

Re: ASU - out of memory?
On Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:13:19 +0200 Tilman Baumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] babbled: Pardon. I don't care for the warm and fuzzy feeling you get by having malloc fail on you. the problem is.. it doesn't say it failed. it says it succeeded. it returns a pointer. program now moves on and should be able to safely assume that the memory it asked for is it's to use. overcommit makes success from malloc a gamble. it may or may not provide you with usable memory. this makes any kind of attempt to do error checking pretty useless. as success can also be an error that is not detectable (until it's too late and you've segv'd). It does not give you a bit more system stability! The one app receiving malloc errors is just not app of many. They all have a problem then. Imagine, the browser catches a failed malloc, because some other stupid app has eaten almost all ram. What is the benefit of telling the browser about low mem? It could only safe itself from crashing. Well done. and that is what it SHOULD do. programs SHOULD check the return of their malloc ()'s and unwind safely and remain in a safe non-crashing state. they may inform the user of such an issue or may chose some other method to deal with it, but it is the job of every app to deal with it as gracefully as possible. And malloc btw. never gives you bad memory. You just have to check, even with overcommit. with overcommit it CAN give you bad memory. without it can't (or shouldn't - if it did - it'd be a bug). NULL = no memory could be given to you of the size you asked for. deal with it, anything else is giving you the memory you asked for. with overcommit it SAYS it gives you that memory - but once you try and access it (read or write) at ANY time, you may or may not segv. because the kernel may have overcommitted and decided to throw out that memory because it thinks it is not used (for whatever reason), but now you want to use it. let me give an example: my app starts - i alloc 64kb for a quick lookup-table for a dictionary. (this is a real-life thing i actually do btw.) this lets me find words in a dictionary file when you type to match quickly (as opposed to do a full linear search of the file). this lets me jump to a subsection (block) of the file quickly based on the first few letters of a word then do a limited linear search. this is low on memory usage as its a limited lookup table. this gets set up on app start. now. lets say you don't type anything for a while - hours or days. in the meantime you run apps (dialler, address lookup etc.) and just passively browse the web (no entering fields - just using bookmarks). lots of memory is allocated and freed, but the pages of ram for the keyboard dictionary are untouched. it hasn't needed them. now you use your browser and it teats up gobs of ram. well what happens now you need to type. you bring up the keyboard and type in your name in an entry field. as it does this it may need to lookup a dictionary. the kernel has since overcommitted and thrown away some pages in the 64kb lookup table for the dictionary. it decided that since they werre idle - they may aswell be ditched as it REALLY needed that ram for that background jpeg in the web page! this was new, urgent and active. well - now as you type the keyboard code tries to do a lookup.. and finds the pages of its dictionary gone! kernel took them away. they were successfully allocated and filled, but now have been nuked. result? keyboard segv's. no bug in kbd. it did everything right. it gets punished for the memory hogging of another app. THAT is what overcommit does. It's just so that you have to be aware that the kernel who is watching over all resources (the evil MCP muahahah) may need to lay off some programms in a critical system condition. (oom_kill) No one wants this, so the strategy is to avoid this. We are talking here about the same thing. We need some userspace helper to clean up before it gets critical. yes. agreed. and we need to not use overcommit. you can't go punish apps that have done everything right and by the book. overcommit does this. Yes, it sounds bad to have a error handling for out of memory and then never use it. Ask my mon, she will tell you this is horrible. But my mom does not know the whole picture. its not just the error handling -the SUCCESS case is also now broken. see above. you are liable to be able to segv if you handle the error case or not. And once again. Not having overcommit wastes memory. Why do you think this is worth it? and having it makes apps segv that would not have segv'd before. it wastes developers chasing gdb backtraces and bug reports for something that doesn't even exist as a bug. see above. you'd get an utterly bizarre crash somewhere it just doesn't make sense - you'd possibly spend days or weeks hunting it to no avail as it just isn't what you think it is! the kernel literally has removed your ram from you! there is no bug to hunt!.

But you could instead define a malloc: void* _malloc(size_t length) { void* pointer = malloc(length); if (!mlock(pointer, length)) return null; // or abort return pointer; } unfortunately... this isn't practical. only root can mlock(). sure. on om we run all as root - but that is something that probably should change and is not a sane solution. :) -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: GPS logger / field data collection
IMO, just use the raw Ublox binary format. It's rather simple to decode. I have already implemented a binary decoder for the Ublox binary format based on Ublox open documentation of the protocol. My plan is to release this code under the GPL at some point. The only GPS receiver that I have that does u-blox binary format is the one in the Freerunner, and the others are Trimble and Garmin and SiRF and NMEA. So I'd be limited to using only one receiver out of my collection. Especially I'd love to be able to use the fancy Trimble ProXH via bluetooth and not be forced to use the Windows Mobile device they expect you to use. (Trimble Recon) So I was looking for a more general solution. But it's a starting point anyway, and hey, I work on this about 10 minutes a day so I'd say dive in!
