Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] missing LAN tools

2008-09-22 Thread Christian Weßel
But how can I install the network tools, if I don't get contact to a
repository?

I checked the resolv.conf

 debian-gta02:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
 nameserver 212.6.108.140

It is the same as before. And it is a valid DNS server.

Without network tools I am not able to check my FR network and therefore i 
can't install any further SW.

 I would suggest that you take a look at your resolv.conf because it
 seems that your name resolving doesn't work.
 Try adding a working dns and test it again.

Re: New rotate for OpenMoko

2008-09-22 Thread Thomas Bertani
why not making that pressing aux you could lock/unlock the current rotation
state?

2008/9/21 Rui Miguel Silva Seabra [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi,

 As said before, since I'm not entirely happy with the previous version
 of Rotate for OpenMoko, also using it as a way to learn how to write
 programs for it, I'm writing a new version of Rotate for OpenMoko.

 I'm now announcing the first results: release 0.1.0 is out (signature)!
 The tar.gz file contains both source and a binary suited to run on
 Om200x.y (at least 2008.9 should work).

 Be careful, it bytes.. :)

 $ cat ChangeLog
 2008-09-21 - 0.1.0 - First release.
Current Features:
* makes some rotations

Known Issues:
* reading from the accelerometer hangs after X time/reads
* some heuristic values may need finetunning (specially when
  laying around, turned up)

Near Future:
* don't rotate when screen is locked
* change profile to silent/meeting when phone is turned down
  and revert when it is turned back up

(and perhaps there needs to be a bbclass for it?)

There are also issues with QMessageBox's using the X11 version of Qt, do you

Little, but 0.2.1 will have usleep (1sec feels too long and increases
likelyhood of missing packets), as well as an ALRM timer for the
reading from accelerometers hangs after X time problem.

I'm right now testing it, but I gotta work and can't release again until

This problem is bigger than access to your SD Card, it is basically
issue of stability communicating with whole Glamo.  The SD Card is
handled by Glamo, so it gets impacted the same.

I guess report it as a bug, but I don't think your issue is anything to
do with SD Card per se, report it as Glamo corruption issue.

Re: Calendar program and sync it with my mac?

2008-09-22 Thread andi


 It doesn't fulfill all your requirements but try openmoko-dates. I'm
 actually pretty impressed with the calendar part although it sometimes
 plays tricks on me. No todos however and it doesn't seem to support
 exceptions to recurring events and doesn't let them to be individually
 changed while keeping the rest of recurs intact. It has a solid
 interface however and it's quite usable at this stage. It also uses ics
 files for the events so these could be quite easily imported to your
 mac. Oh, I haven't find a way to set notifications eighter. Well, long
 story short, just try it.

   
I have copied the calendar.ics file with a test event to my pc, which 
then showed the event. but then I added
a new event on the pc and copied the file back, and the openmoko-dates 
did not show the new event... This is
annoying, because for syncing you need both ways ;-)
I already tried different calender programs (sunbird and dates) .

any ideas??

minimal battery capacity for next re-boot

2008-09-22 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

One can monitor the actual battery capacity in the FreeRunner with:

# cat /sys/devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat/capacity
72

I'm thinking in writing a small shell script to shutdown the Gadget when
the battery capacity falls down under certain value X to have enough
power for one next reboot to re-charge via USB; what would be such a
value? 10% or even less? that the beast comes up again to be charged
again with the power supply?

thx

look.

I will report if I have more informations.

Happy bug finding and fixing.

Re: Bad Magic Number while booting from SD card with new uImage!

2008-09-22 Thread Simon Matthews

 My Sandisk 8GB breaks also. Some times the partiton and format works and
 sometimes the card would not be recognized. Always after reboot the whole
 partion table is away.
 
I also have an 8GByte Sandisk SDHC card and was having exactly the same
problems until turning the SD clock on when the Freerunner is suspended.

This has been incorporated in the kernels newer than the 4th of
September. Since using kernels newer than this i have not had any
problems with data corruption on my SD card.

Freerunner a month after

2008-09-22 Thread Nicola Mfb
Hi,
After experimenting with freerunner and trying to develop applications for
it I have some doubts.
I searched on the mailing-list, forums, wiki and so on, but I was not able
to retrieve some basic information that I need to continue this exciting
experience.
If someone answers on this I think a lot of people will appreciate, and I'll
be happy to update the wiki.

First of all, I'd like to have some clarifications about software stack
future.
Actually, we have tree main distros: 2008.x, fso and qtopia.
Qtopia is very stable, but peoples seems to not prefer it as not community
based (I was not able to find qtopia 4.3.3 snapshot sources, but this is
another problem).
2008.x is based on an older qtopia fork patched for x11, using it's phone
server, dialer and settings.
In the om-oe-tree it seems there is no staging for qt/qtopia library, nor
documentation that explains how to develop qtopia/qt applications for 2008.x
(I hope I'm in error), so you cannot interact easly with qtopia stack.
You may use excellent qtopia offical SDK but your applications will not run
becouse they need a qpe server. You may bitbake qt4-free-x11, and build
applications against it, but i do not know if they are compatible with
libraries that provided by qtopia on x11 itself and if that oe recipie is
om-supported or is it there only from the oe fork. So it seems developing
over qtopia/2008.x is not encouraged (at least for external developers).
The last is FSO, it has documentation and is a very nice middleware and is
bleeding-edge. I may be in error again (if i am please ignore the next
assumptions!) but it seems as FSO is developed out of Fic or OpenMoko inc.,
directly on openembedded (some rumors about developers that left openmoko
and join fso).
The second doubt came as that om-oe-tree is a fork of oe-tree and is on a
different git server, why this? to  leave to openmoko official developers
the full control over it?
If some bitbake recipies need a fix, should the openmoko developers fix it
or the oe guy?
After that there are debian and other coming soon distros, as gentoo.
All these dependes above all on openmoko linux kernel, are the openmoko
developers the only writing/mantaining it? are oe guys involved too?
On the wiki i read that next openmoko release will be based on fso, so will
openmoko guy patch qtopia x11 to use dbus and avoid it's intertnal phone
server? if not why are they supporting the project?

I know this is a mix between political and technical questions, but please
clarify!

Starting enlightenment development in python under ubuntu

2008-09-22 Thread Laszlo KREKACS
Dear list,

I have written a message yesterday, but didnt get through (cant see in
the web archive).
I have written a suggestion back in june (about shipped usb cable),
but never received either.

So I unsubscribed and re-subscribed to the mailing list. This time I omitted
the '+' character (automatic gmail 'tagging' feature) from my email address.

I hope I have a bigger chance this time.

Here is my yesterday's email:

Hi!

As I see right now, If I want some real eyecandy on my future freerunner,
I better to start programming in enlightenment.

I earned a bit experience in pygtk programming, as I wrote a rather big
program for ease serial debugging. I use it under linux/windows. But
since the program what I want to write on the freerunner does not need
to be cross-platform, Im looking something tightly integrated and real
eyecandy.

I use ubuntu 8.04 at home and windows xp at work. For pygtk my main
development machine is the windows xp one.

I looked at this page: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Python

And it says for a simple hello world 'e' application I need
python-etk, python-efl.

Can somebody help me which ubuntu package is it?

(As enlightenment is not widely used, google didnt turn up any useful
result).

If somebody knows any other resource/documentation please write it!

Thank you in advance,

Laszlo

ps:
As I see the current situation, enlightenment applications will be the
'core' applications. So the dialer, top menubar and everything will
be implemented in enlightenment.
The most useful application are written in gtk (tangogps, etc).
And qtopia provides the most complete telephony softwares. So it is like
a behemot.;-\

Am I see correctly? The enlightenment direction are still valid after Raster
quit Openmoko? Or the development stopped? In other words: Are anybody at
openmoko programming in etk/efl ?

Re: Freerunner a month after

2008-09-22 Thread Iain B. Findleton
Really depends on what your motivations and goals are, I suspect.
Personally, I develop the applications that I want on the phone using
TclFltk, a scripting based language that uses the FLTK tool kit. Since
this cross platform environment works on Windows, Linux, etc. It does
not get bogged down on all this platform dependant stuff.

I suspect that there must be other things that are pretty isolated from
the stack, like python-gtk or java that you can use.

On the other hand, if you are into the internals of the phone, your
project will probably have a lot of trouble because of the lack of
documentation and access. My projects are strictly user space
applications, and so far, things are relatively speaking just fine.

I've had quite the opposite experience: GPS works more reliably than 
ever with 2008.9.

I presume you've had GPS fixes with the same device in the past?

I presume you updated the kernel as well as the root FS?

Did you try with/without an SD card inserted? Now that I think of it, I 
didn't have an SD card installed.

FSO toolchain?

2008-09-22 Thread rhn
Hello
This question may be terribly out of place, but I haven't found a definite 
answer on the Openmoko or freesmartphone wiki.

I'd like to be able to develop on my main box some programs to use with FSO on 
the phone (and package them), but I have found only the Openmoko toolchain via 
the wiki. It seems to be 2007.4 based.
There was nothing relevant on freesmartphone.org, so I think there is a way to 
use the aforementioned toolchain to make software compliant to FSO.
Currently, my guess is that I need to set up the repositories list in the 
toolchain to point the FSO repos.
Would this suffice?

I have yet to actually get a fix with my FreeRunner.  It's quite

You may use the Makefile at http://shr.bearstech.com/ , this will setup the
entire openembedded environment to build toolchain and fso
images/applications. This is the best solution if your application has
dependencies on the fso tree. You should write a bitbake recipie for your
application, or use some other tricks to use the toolchain.

What program do you use? If I have tried only with the location program I
haven't received a fix. With the testprogram openmoko-gps-ui (I'm not sure
with the name) and tangogps it works. When there is clear sky and a free sight
after 1:30 or 2 minutes. When you start then location after you have
received a fix with one of the two programs mentionend it finds your location.

I do have the latest 2008.9 kernel and rootfs.  I have tried both with

Sometimes i think whether all the hardware revisions of FR are really
the same if people are having such a opposite experiences with GPS,
GSM (i know about the GPS cap issue). For most of the time i get a
fix quite quickly these days (2008.9), but had no problems even before
with 2008.8. There is the odd day, when i need to apply one or two
reboots for some strange reason. Today, no problem getting fix 2 times
(morning, evening) in about 2 minutes while driving about 90km/h. SD
in, 2008.9 running from it.

more difficulties but since I found out that settings doesnt show
current status of gps-power example if wake up from standby (its always
off no matter what shown).
I get a fix after approx. 2min when enter outside best not to close to
house wall. I also have external antenna which is more reliable and can
see and track more sattelites.
Once I thought that gpsd was not runnning when I had problems but since
I keep focus on it it always run (I expect the problem was power that
was off).

The most frequent problem I have now is that tangogps crash with segment
fault after run for a while. Didn't have time to investigate that.

 Little, but 0.2.1 will have usleep (1sec feels too long and increases

 Rui, very nice,
 
 0.2.0 is much better then the initial 0.1.0 release yesterday :) again,
 the calibration is out for the upside down state. Except of rare
 hickups when is seems to start oscillating kind of, this is already
 quite usable :) and not burning so much CPU as the previous incarnation
 did.

And 0.2.1 adds even more CPU niceness and stability... :)

  I have some experience with 2008.8/9. Since I upgrades to 2008.9 I had
 more difficulties but since I found out that settings doesnt show current
 status of gps-power example if wake up from standby (its always off no
 matter what shown).
 I get a fix after approx. 2min when enter outside best not to close to
 house wall. I also have external antenna which is more reliable and can see
 and track more sattelites.
 Once I thought that gpsd was not runnning when I had problems but since I
 keep focus on it it always run (I expect the problem was power that was
 off).

 The most frequent problem I have now is that tangogps crash with segment
 fault after run for a while. Didn't have time to investigate that.

 I'm glad it's not just me. I'm beginning to think my phone is defective, I
 cannot get a fix. In the agps-ui, I'm not even seeing a signal from any of
 the satellites. Running 2008.9 with the latest kernel. I've even tried using
 the agps program with assist online. That makes agps-ui show a list of
 satellites, and have the current GPS time, but no signal. I was thinking of
 trying the antenna repair SOP.

 Ironicly, one of the biggest reasons I wanted the Freerunner, besides
 openness,  was to create a GRPS/GPS app.



By the way, every time i try to use agps-ui, after a minute and a half or
so, the phone completely freezes up. Holding the button down doesn't even
turn it off, I have to remove the battery.

Case mod feasible?

2008-09-22 Thread Breakable
Hi,
I am just thinking to do a casemod for Freerunner.
Basically what I want is to add 4 rechargable AAA batteries and plug that
into usb port.
That gives me about 1200ma at 4.8v, which should comply with the USB
specification (5v),
would it not?
This should avoid the requirement for sophisticated electronics,
and extend the battery life to max 4x + 1 (the original battery).
While not overloading the form factor too much.
It could address the biggest issue in freerunner now - battery life.
Anybody thinks that this is not feasible or not worth doing for some reason?

PS:Waiting for the software to mature does not seem like a solution to me,
I would wait for the technological utopia to materialize instead ;)

AAA batteries are 1.5 volts, so 4x1.5=6volts, if you find a diode that
has a voltage drop of 1 volt you won't need any voltage regulation
circuitry.

 This should avoid the requirement for sophisticated electronics,

Voltage regulators aren't sophisticated, its just a VR chip and one,
maybe two resistors for calibration.

Anybody thinks that this is not feasible or not worth doing for some reason?

Actually, most AAA (and AA) rechargeable batteries are about 1.2 volts when

 I still don't know if anyone's verified how balrog-kun's referenced

 further finetuning).
I am trying to play a 20 min short movie.

Transcoding it from 640x352 WMA 170MB video according to
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Video_Player#Playback_using_480x640_.2F_640x480
Resulting one I tried many sizes, ranging 50-150 in MegaBytes.
But running with mplayer output.avi -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs 
-framedrop  [ -autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1 ]
mplayer crashes

Running with glamo mplayer 
(http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2) 
with `-vo glamo' it writes out
Badly interleaved AVI file detected - switching to -ni mode...
And then I can see the video only after seeking, but it is incredibly 
slow. Strange, why is it badly interleaved, I have transcoded it with wiki's

mencodersourcefile  -otargetfile.avi  -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -af

The best performance (~4 fps) I have achieved was with transcoding into 
the ~210x100 final video and running opkg installed non-glamo mplayer.
Tried -vo fbdev (-vo sdl does not work), too. Also mplayer crashes were 
also occasional.
I am launching a movie from an SD card. Maybe it may slow some things 
down, too.
Has anyone gone any better than this, please share.

For locations to work I need to have turned on GPS and let it sit. This can

The accuracy of the GPS seems to be ok. Tangogps reports the speed of my car

[om.2008-testing] booting from single uSD partition

2008-09-22 Thread Sarton O'Brien
Hey all,

Just a quick question, I have a uSD card with one ext2 partition where uboot 
sources the kernel via a /boot/uImage.bin symlink. So long as I:

rm /etc/default/flashkernelopkg  updateopkg upgrade

All seems to be fine.

Does anyone know of any problems with this scenario?

I think any problems I'm seeing are more to do with testing but thought I'd 
see if anyone else is aware of something that might creep up on me. Maybe a 
wiki update is in order if there are no foreseeable problems.

In some cases, you're doing better than some of us. At least you can reconnect

 As a bit OT but since you have gone to the trouble of developing the
 script,
 could you run a test while driving/riding in the car and post what the
 readings might be? I was thinking of the possibility of having the FR
 determine if it was in a moving car or not.

OK, I started in the street near my house. Turned a 270 degree left turn
(around a ~30-ft circle) then 90 degrees right and went down the street to
a stop sign, left turn and on a couple hundred feet to a larger circle,
which I circled 1.25 times at a near-steady 20mph, then went on to the
convenience store.  The entire trip was about 4 minutes, about 1.5 miles. 
Top speed was just over 30 mph (25mph limit throughout - don't send my GPS
log to the cops ;)  The Freerunner was sitting on the floor on the
passenger side of the car, about 10 right of centerline, with the Y axis
(top to bottom of screen in portrait mode) aligned to the direction of
travel.  So Positive-Y indicates vehicle deceleration, Positive-X indicates
left turn, Negative-Z means the car probably bounced upward.

Below is the output at roughly 1-second intervals from the accelerometer
(#1, not #0, so axes aligned to housing) followed by the trip log from
TangoGPS for the same time period.  Top speed was just over 30 mph (25mph
limit throughout - don't send my GPS log to the cops ;)  There is at most a
5-second difference between start and stop points of the two datasets, and
the right-hand turn off the small circle in front of my house should
provide a good sync point (accel data goes negative first time), as will
the ~30 second stop at a traffic light, ~20 seconds before data stops.

I'm sure you've already done this, but just in case have you set your
computer to act as a gateway to the FR? It needs packet forwarding
enabled under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward as well as iptables set up
correctly. Personally I use an iptables frontend called firehol to
simplify this.
My /etc/firehol/firehol.conf looks like (this is on my laptop, not the FR):

#always needed for firehol
version 5

#Don't let anything in from the Internet that I didn't request
interface ppp+ internet src not $UNROUTABLE_IPS
  protection strong
  client all accept

# Accept all client traffic on any other interface and allow incoming SSH
interface any world src not $RESERVED_IPS
  server ssh accept
  client all accept

#Forward packets from usb network with NAT
router usbnet inface usb0 outface any
  masquerade
  route all accept

 I'm not sure, is it a 32bit binary? My system is:

yes, the above 'albatros' runs a normal SLES:

 And I have no issues. I am a bit bleeding edge though. It seems strange that 
 you are running 2.6 and you get that error.

 dfu-util version 0.1+svn4160

I've played around on various Linux boxes I have with newer kernels, it
seems to run fine on a 2.6.14 kernel; that the dfu-util executable is
linked for GNU/Linux 2.6.8 does not say much about what they require
internally; see:

$ strings dfu-util | fgrep kernel

/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
FATAL: kernel too old
FATAL: cannot determine kernel version
/proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max
/proc/sys/kernel/rtsig-max

i.e. they check /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease and for sure compare it
against some value; interestingly this check is not in the recent
sources I've pulled out from SVN (this was my first place to look,
before asking that question to the list);

anyway; I'll put a Knoppix 5.1.1 on an USB key to use this as
alternative boot in my laptop (which runs FreeBSD, would be nice to port
later dfu-util to FreeBSD :-))

thx for your feedback anyway;

you can try to charge your phone 100% shutdown, boot with usb cable
removed, and see how much it is,  do couple of more tests, take the
maximum value add 2 or 3% for safety and use that value :) , someone
else have an exact value already?

Wow.  After reading this I went to check the BL-5c from my old Nokia 6600,
and couldn't find it.  I also have a BL-6c and a new BL-5c clone I ordered
online a couple months ago.  That last one was on the desktop
charger, and was almost twice as thick in the middle as it should be... 
extremely pillow-shaped.

Needless to say I relocated it to the middle of the concrete garage floor
away from anything flammable. (6-ft radius :)

Thanks for the heads up.  Apparently whoever made this clone battery, it
has the same or a similar flaw to the genuine Nokia ones made by Matsushita
in 2006.  (always assuming it's not just someone selling off the portion of
the 46 million made which never reached consumers, which actually seems
pretty believable)  But the timing is just remarkable.
