I agree, though I would argue that there is absolutely no reason to
have it any longer than 1 second - that's easily long enough that it
won't turn on accidentally and short enough that no one would get
pissed off at it:

1 second - ok
2 seconds - tolerable
3 seconds - barely tolerable
4 seconds - hmmm, is my battery dead?
5 seconds - ok, this is rediculous
6 seconds - my finger is getting sore
7 seconds - dude, WTF???
8 seconds - about bloody time!

Then there's the matter that if you release the power button the
moment the AUX LED blinks it doesn't turn on (has to be held down for
another second or so until the splash screen appears), which makes no
sense at all - if feedback is provided that the device is about to
turn on then it bloody well should turn on!

I honestly wonder if OM has hired or at least consulted with a human
interfaces expert, because it certainly doesn't feel like they have.
Well, at least they finally added a volume control I suppose...

believe it is also described in wiki somewhere

I've done it on my FDOM + updates and it is indeed reasonably quick
(didn't measure exact timing though)

6 sec to press power should be improved imho -- there is no need for it
to be more than 3 sec (enough time imho to differ between Power->AUx, or
AUX -> Power presses to get into different UBoots)

[2008.12] Accelerometer latency

2008-12-20 Thread Charles-Henri Gros
When trying to read the accelerometers, it looks like no data is
received if there's a big change in acceleration.

e.g. if I hexdump /dev/input/event2, and start shaking the phone, output
stops.

Any ideas why this may be happening / how to fix it?

Thanks,

/dev/mmcblk0 is the raw device, you want /dev/mmcblk0p1.
look at the output from fdisk ...

if it is still not there, your u-boot/kernel might be too old.
are there any messages at boot?

Re: Re: [debian/fso] Re: starting kde on debian

> if I may ask an other question:
> how can I add new programs to zhone/freerunner: I would like to use an
> agenda, navigation prog (something like tomtom), and a today screen.


to zhone as such: not at all.
zhone is basically a sandbox to test features of fso.
so far it is the only frontend to place calls, read sim contacts and  
send/receive sms.

so, what you intend is achieved by installing a window/desktop manager,  
xfce seems to be the one widely used.
read
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian
and the XFCE section in particular.
afterwards zhone runs as simple application.
for agenda osmo seems to be the one that fits best, it contains calendar,  
contacts management and so on -- but is in no way integrated with zhone,  
ie the contacts are not available there (there's a simple patch to zhone  
that makes it read the vcf-file of osmo, but that's for another day ;-)
navigation is possible via either tangogps or navit, while tangogps is in  
the debian repository there seems to be no debian/armel package available  
of navit (yet).
for both apps you need to install fso-gpsd.

debian uses apt, so that's the tool to install/uninstall/upgrade/search  
packages.
in /etc/apt/sources.list the repositories are listed -- unless you know  
what you do it is not recommended to fiddle with it.
the first step is usually to do

apt-get update

that updates the list of currently available packages and thus even allows  
to make upgrades:

apt-get upgrade

shows a list of packages for which newer versions are available and asks  
for confirmation

apt-get dist-upgrade

upgrades even crucial packages like the kernel.
to install a particular package (or several) use

apt-get install packagename

to find a specific package, say osmo, use

apt-cache search osmo

you get

gosmore - Openstreetmap.org viewer / wayfinder / search client
ifrit - a powerful tool for visualizing 3-dimensional data sets
liblua5.1-cosmo0 - A template library for the lua langua version 5.1
osmo - personal organizer for GTK+
osmo-dbg - Debugging symbols for osmo

easy to see that the package names are to the left.
you can even search for generic terms like

apt-cache search navigation

the list is much longer, but with the short description you might be able  
to filter and then do

apt-cache show packagename

for a more detailed description.
to uninstall you should use

apt-get purge packagename

purge removes even configfiles, if you want to keep them use remove  
instead.


the simpliest way for you should be

apt-get update && apt-get install nodm xfce4 osmo

configure according to the link above.

That's done, but it doesn't create the device for partition 1.

I have rebooted after formatting /dev/mmcblk0

I need to create the device nodes for the partitions before I can  
mount on it and I think

I should then format these devices before I mount.

So zhone is now working fine. but I have a lot to learn thank you for 
pointing me in ther right direction.

if I may ask an other question:
how can I add new programs to zhone/freerunner: I would like to use an 
agenda, navigation prog (something like tomtom), and a today screen.

Thanks for helping me,

greetings

Re: Booting from large microSD (SDHC) [success]

2008-12-20 Thread Lothar Behrens

Hi,

I have now also a 16 GB SD card (SanDisk/SDSDQ-016G-E11M)
but I didn't get it run with my ASU 2008/9 from Tue, 16 Sep 2008 and
uboot 1.3.2-moko12.

Here is the problem: After fisrt boot I couldn't use fdisk, because it  
couldn't access anyhow.

Then after another reboot I was able to do it.

Here is my first partition:

r...@om-gta02:~# fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1936.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15.9 GB, 15931539456 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1936 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot  Start End  Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1   1 487 3911796  83 Linux

Command (m for help):

But I cannot mount it at /media/card because I haven't the device.

Isn't that device created automatically ?

How to create one (mknod, block type, but what mayor minor) ?

Thanks

Lothar

No. My MBR was never fragged (This would have been be fatal for me on
the next morning. Of course I mean the _card's_ MBR ;-) ). The
filesystem (ext2) got whacked by a suspend or "unsynced" halt command,
so that fdisk did not recover upon boot.

But I was able to fix the filesystem on the microSD by a manually  
fdisk
from the other linux on the internal flash memory. Switching to ext3  
may

also help, but make sure that your sd card supports wear leveling. In
the other case ext3 may shorten the lifecycle of the card. Also,
mounting the microSD with "-noatime" should lower the stress (and  
extend

the lifetime) of the card.

Anyhow. It seems a good advice to keep a copy (printed or dd) of the
microSD's MBR  in a warm and dry place apart from your Freerunner.

A kind closing note: Please place your answer _under_ the quoted text
next time.

oh, just the usual debian way.

for starters, the output of
DISPLAY=:0 zhone
would have been nice, to confirm it is really the issue i suspect.
if so the next step is to download both packages from their respective  
locations and install via
dpkg -i cython*deb
dpkg -i python-evas*deb
to be on the safe side, substitute the names with the full ones (don't  
have them handy right now).
if for some reason installation fails, because a dependency is missing,  
apt-cache is helpful:

apt-cache show libevas0

produces the following output:

  This package contains the core library and a set of image loaders and/or  
savers
  for various formats: eet, gif, jpeg, png, svg, tiff and xpm

the line beginning with "Filename: " shows the path to the missing package

pool/main/e/evas/libevas0_0.9.9.050-2_armel.deb

if your installation is a default one, the repo will be

so you have to point your browser/wget/whatever to

http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/evas/libevas0_0.9.9.050-2_armel.deb

this is rather informational! if you are not familiar with either dpkg or  
apt, you should refrain from wildly installing and better ask here  
together with the output from dpkg to get help!


after that starting zhone should work -- if not, it's probably  
another/additional error. starting zhone like said above in such cases  
produces useful, nay, necessary output, so please append.

i'm not sure how to change the opkg config to point to testing.

whenever i try to install illume-config, opkg tells me that
illume-theme-asu is installed and up to date:

r...@om-gta02:~# opkg install illume-config
Package illume-theme-asu (0.0+svnr4783-r7.04) installed in root is up to date.

it also looks like the illume theme is already installed, opkg
list_installed says:

illume-theme-illume - 0.0+svnr36882-r1.01 -

any help on either getting the wrench or activating the illume theme?

thanks,

Petr pointed it out quite good. The list time i tried SHR, the icons 
didn't show up.
I found out that this particular e configuration/version/wahtever was 
very picky, so i had to handcraft all .desktop files i needed.
i made them with touch and echo commands and it finally worked.
i cant give you any detailed infos, because it was quite some time ago.
all i can tell you is that Petr Vanek's hint is a good one and you 
should play around a little in that direction.

afaik it is autmatically created to index files that my be useful to 
qtopia, you contacts are stored in the flash memory of you phone, not on 
sdcard (see wiki: "Pre-Flash Backup" i don't remember the path, but it 
is sth like /home/root/Documents and /home/root/Applications)

Selected questions to Sean

2008-12-20 Thread Minh Ha Duong
Dear Sean,

  I received a great number of responses, most containing 3-10 questions. So I 
cheated a bit, and in this selection of 10 points most are actually multiple 
questions.

Q1. The end of the year is a time to look back on the year achievements.
So where does Openmoko stands now from a business point of view ?
Could you comment on sustainability, on sales numbers, on geographic markets
and customer categories ?

Q2. The god of January has two faces, one looking back and one looking 
forward, so...
Juergen, Eric in Japan and practically everybody else
want to know when will the GTA03 phone be released,
if it will have 3G/3.5G, a camera and the kitchen sink.
Can you tell us anything yet ? Where do you want Openmoko to be in December 
2009 ?

Q3. The mandatory dogfood question was submitted by Yorik Moko:
"Do you use the FreeRunner as your daily phone, which distro
and what is your favorite application ?"

Q4. Todd would like to know exactly what are your feelings about Android
and its impact on the OpenMoko OS.

Q5. Kosa and Marco wondered if you could say us something about the management 
that doesn't seem
to be loved by great hackers like Harald and Carsten. For example, what is 
your analysis of
the controversies that led Om2008 to ship with Qtopia's predictive keyboard.

Q6. There are many Openmoko communities in languages other than English now.
Swap38 asks how can they best contribute back to the project,
and if there are plans to organize the diversity around a common model,
as OpenOffice.org did for example. What is the status of the 
internationalization
and localization effort ?

Q7. Let's be reflexive, kind of "we have to talk about our relationship, 
dear".
Tilman, supported by Michelle, wonders to which extend the community has met 
your expectations.
More precisely, could you name an area where it did not, perhaps
like an application that you would have expected be written already ?

Q8. On the other hand, Tim and others would like to know 
the most interesting or fun thing you have seen the Freerunner used for ?

Q9. And where do you think could any person do the most for the project right 
now? Think of if that person would be ideal and have all the skills needed.
And then, which skills are in most need right now and in the future?

Q10. To conclude, can we have a video of you in Openmoko T-shirt and geek-cap,
having a phone chat with star hackers, using Neo FreeRunners at both ends,
telling each other your favourite Freerunner joke ? Please ?

Thanks everybody for taking the time to ask these questions,
and thanks if advance for your replies,
Minh

   Thank you Joel for your prompt reply. I edited all the .desktop-files 
in /usr/share/applications to read 'Applications' instead of 
'Application' in the 'Categories' entry but to no avail. Once again I 
stopped the X-server, removed the .e/ .local/ Desktop/ directories and 
restarted the X-server, but still same result i.e. no icons.

   Searching for all .desktop-files reveals some in 
.e/e/appshadow-directory. Some of them have multiple 
'Categories'-entries ! Here's the one representing the Calculator:

   r...@om-gta02:~# cat ./.e/e/appshadow/.desktop
   [Desktop Entry]
   Name=Calculator
   Name[fr]=Calculatrice
   Name[it]=Calcolatrice
   Name[ru]=Калькулятор
   Name[sv]=Miniräknare
   Comment=Perform simple calculations
   Encoding=UTF-8
   Version=1.0
   Type=Application
   Exec=openmoko-calculator
   Icon=openmoko-calculator
   Terminal=false
   Categories=GTK;Applications;Office
   SingleInstance=true
   StartupNotify=true
   Categories=Office;

   I guess that these files are generated from somewhere so editing them 
isn't going to help...

   Maybe Rasterman can shed some light on this ?

The program uses paramiko library so one doesn't need ssh client binary.

om-manager is nice. I was about to write something similar - like a
"host computer utility" in python (but using Tkinter instead of wx)
which connects to Freerunner and executes commands however "mine" was
intended to mimic Debian's reportbug utility. Right now we have so many
distributions, bootloaders and kernels that sometimes it's hard to
reproduce the environment. I'm thinking about automation of gathering
informations about a bug process. `uname -a`, `opkg list_installed` `cat
/sys/magic/something`. If you don't mind Ilja I'll try to use your
om-manager as a base for my work.

As I see om-manager is plugins-capable so I hope all I want to achieve
will be only a plugin for your program.

;-) Well. That's just a plan for Christmas holidays...

Kind regards,

Just a guess based on a known 'problem': Check the .desktop files in
/usr/share/applications.  Take a look at the "categories" entries in the
.desktop files, and if you see "application", try changing it to
"applications".

[FSO/Illume] Program icons not showing up

2008-12-20 Thread Ingvaldur Sigurjonsson
Hi

   I'm running a home-built installation of fso-testing-image on my 
Freerunner (GTA02v5). I update ($ make update) my installation atleast 
twice a week. For some time I haven't seen the program icons in Illume. 
I've tried to remove the .e/-directory without success. I've even 
reflashed the phone with both new kernel-images and *rootfs*.jffs-images.

   Zhone starts allright and I can switch to the other desktops but I 
never see the icons I once saw. Enlightenment says it sees '17 files' 
when starting but yet, no icons.

   Does anyone know a) why, b) how to fix it.

it is what it says: a qtopia database (contacts, qtopia apps, 
messages)... although on the sd card.. probably decuments, apps... i am 
quite sure you can delete that, since the contacts are storen on flash 
(you do have installed you os on flash, right?!)

 Hello.

 I'm happy to announce that I've finally managed to push out 0.1.0 version
 of om-manager.

 Om-manager is host computer-based Freerunner controlling utility.
 Currently it's able to flash Freeruner smartphone (dfu-util required),
 get logs, backup filesystem parts (to archive file on host computer) also
 it implements simple opkg package manager and remote control via VNC
 (x11vnc package on phone is required). All functionality (except
 Flashing) is implemented trough SSH connection and does not require any
 extra programs installed on phone itself (except ones that are needed to
 perform specefied tasks, e.g. vnc server or opkg utility). Whole
 application is pure Python.


 Project home: http://code.google.com/p/om-manager/

 Please, if somebody is willing to check it -- do it. I would be really
 happy to see any feedback from any other people -- about usability,
 functionality or coding style.

 It took me quite a while to do it, but have a mercy -- I'm doing it
 alone.

 I've personally used it on Windows, Linux and OSX. So I guess they can be
 defined as "officially supported operating systems".

 Thank you.

 
Not that i think it has much to do with your error, but you do know how 
windows handles ssh?
(the answer is: not at all, because windows doesn't know ssh or anything 
alse that is absolutely fundemantal regarding networking, so you have to 
use puTTY, although, the program should at least start..)
i goint to try it out tomorrow under vista and under debian

Re: how to turn on screen blanking on 2008.12

2008-12-20 Thread Will Siddall
If you would rather switch to the illume theme (you would have to
update from testing), this will give you access to the illume 'wrench'
that can allow you to set the time after which the screen blanks and
then another time (or none) to have it go into suspend.

If you don't want to use testing, you can just install 'illume-config'
which will give you the wrench

The 'wrench' is found in the top shelf when you drop it down.  It'll
be in the top-left corner.

[debian/fso] Re: starting kde on debian

2008-12-20 Thread arne anka
please, prefix _very_ posting with name of the ditribution, you are using  
-- make it people easy to help you!
additionally, the best way to get support for deb...@fr would be the  
smartphones-lists instead.


> Since zhone does not appear on my FR with debian I have installed kde.
> question now is how do I change X to start up kde instead of zhone.

installing kde, just because zhone does not start is ... strange.
for a device so limited kde is rather an overkill -- and it will certainly  
not help you, to explore the phone facilities!

if zhone does not start, the first thing is, to log in via ssh and start  
zhone manually doing
DISPLAY=:0 zhone
this should give some usefull output you could post here.
most certainly you are bitten by a bug that seems not yet to be properly  
addressed: cython and python-evas of debian/sid does not play well  
together, the packages are available either in any debian repos
http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cython/cython_0.9.6.13.1-1_all.deb
and
http://www.ginguppin.de/node/24
respectively (just be carefully they don't get overwritten by any update  
or reinstall those packages afterwards until the bug is fixed).

next thing: please read the debian freerunner wiki and the arcihves  
thoroughly, there are several postings or articles explaining what to do  
when installing a real desktop manager like xfce and that you should use  
nodm as [k|x|g]dm replacement.

Hi.
IMHO KDE is little beet heavy for FR.
to edit your ~/.xsession file.
But first try read trough http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
maybe it'll help

[Om 2008.12] No ssh / no wifi ?

2008-12-20 Thread swap38
Hi all,

I've just flashed my neo with Om2008.12 with (jffs2, uImage and u-Boot 
md5sums are OK, neotool didn't report any error => everything is OK)

First surprise : there's no wifi option
Second surprise : I can't ping 192.168.0.202 (so I can't connect to it 
with ssh)

I think the problem is not related to my PC because when I reboot to 
QtExtended (on the SD card), everything works well (ping, ssh and so on 
...).
And I'm not alone in that case [1].

Anybody else with that kind of issue ? Any solution ?
Thanks in advance

As far as i understand it is as effective as sending the magic ioctl
and equally effective to suspending the whole device.

I've a small script that works as a daemon, checking interval depends
on the charge (described on a file), play sounds (except when
charging) depending on the current charge.

There is no doc, no install proc, it's not packaged, but it can be
done easily...

The config file (default values in the script) contains:

  # Les différents niveaux
  THRESHOLDS="100:20:1200: 20:10:600:low 10:5:150:critical 5:0:30:emergency"

Each group of check parms is max:min:delay:sound

If level is between (_max_,_min_), the "aplay" _sound_.wav and wait _delay_
for next check.

Hope it helps.

om-manager 0.1.0 released

2008-12-20 Thread Ilja O.
Hello.

I'm happy to announce that I've finally managed to push out 0.1.0 version of
om-manager.

Om-manager is host computer-based Freerunner controlling utility. Currently
it's able to flash Freeruner smartphone (dfu-util required), get logs,
backup filesystem parts (to archive file on host computer) also it
implements simple opkg package manager and remote control via VNC (x11vnc
package on phone is required). All functionality (except Flashing) is
implemented trough SSH connection and does not require any extra programs
installed on phone itself (except ones that are needed to perform specefied
tasks, e.g. vnc server or opkg utility). Whole application is pure Python.


Project home: http://code.google.com/p/om-manager/

Please, if somebody is willing to check it -- do it. I would be really happy
to see any feedback from any other people -- about usability, functionality
or coding style.

It took me quite a while to do it, but have a mercy -- I'm doing it alone.

I've personally used it on Windows, Linux and OSX. So I guess they can be
defined as "officially supported operating systems".

Thank you.

One possible way to handle it right would be:

1. Try DHCP first. If a DHCP server gives us an address, use it and skip  
to step 3.
2. Grab a link-local IP address via IPv4LL (RFC 3927). This is even  
supported by default by both Windows >= 98 and MacOS >= 8, as well as in  
many Linux distributions, so it's as simple as plugging the device in.
3. If we have a DNS address from step 1, use it and skip to step 5.
4. Try discovering a DNS server using DNS-SD and use one if discovered.
5. Advertise through mDNS a user-configurable name defaulting to something  
like openmoko.local.
6. Advertise relevant services through mDNS, such as ssh, sftp-ssh,  
clipboard (would be nice, eh?), sip/h323 (why not?).
7. If we have a router address from step 1, skip to step 9.
8. Try some router discovery protocol (UPnP, SSDP?).

Most of this is fulfilled by using avahi , so it seems  
like a good choice. From a user's point of view, the device will never  
cause routing problems and always be accessible at a fixed host name, even  
without a domain name server.

Alternatively, the phone itself can run a DHCP server after step 1 and  
assign an IP address to the peer, as well as run a DNS server. That way,  
plugging the phone with GPRS enabled into a Windows machine will  
automatically provide it with Internet connectivity.

It was recently clarified on kernel ml that the power_on wlan node
actually applies reset to the chip. Therefore nobody should really use
it. Either the magic ioctl or binding/unbinding the driver works.

echo s3c2440-sdi > /sys/bus/platform/devices/s3c2440-sdi/driver/unbind

and

echo s3c2440-sdi > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/bind

can be used for the time being.

Hmm, I don't have a Freerunner myself (yet), but I do use Debian on
other machines. It's definitely possible to get gvim in Debian.[1]

I guess if you want to use it in a distro that doesn't have a package
for it, it looks like you'd have to do some manual config/installation
that I haven't tried, so perhaps other people would be better placed
to offer advice on that front.[2]

Not if its handled right.  I am not feeling generous to the "bad word
deleted" who chose this address - just flashed 2008.12.  Everytime I
flash the freerunner, I have to modify things to get it to behave nicely
with my network.

Still, its not just the freerunner, but big companies like netgear who
also choose inappropriate defaults ;(

This would make it way harder to communicate with the freerunner.
For now you know you can reach it at 192.168.0.202 and most of the 
documentations builds on this. So figuring out the ip address FR has 
chosen is way harder, especially for newbies.

I am not sure. There's an ioctl but it seems to give different results

Right, that's it. I did

  opkg install bluez-audio
  opkg install bluez-utils
  /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
  /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

and now the audio service is there. However, I still can't get the
connection to actually work. I've tried to pair with my computer:

  dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez 
/org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.CreateBonding string:

but all I get is

   Error org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected: Authentication Rejected

With FSO I also get some kernel problems (2.6.24) when releasing the reset:

Yes on the standard Debian installation the /boot is on /dev/mmcblk0p1
while the rootfs is on /dev/mmcblk0p2. And with the kernel-parameter
root= in the append--GTAXX you can overwrite this parameter which is 
hardcoded in the code. Last one wins:)

Is there any way for the FR to consistently identify if it is a windows,

Also the Wiki has helped.  At the start, even when such information was on
the wiki, there was IMHO less tendency of new users to look there first.

My personal favorite solution is what I just reimplemented on my desktop:
just bridge eth0 and usb0 on the desktop.  Trouble is it's rather
unportable that way, unless you use DHCP on the FR, which means you'd need
to check the IP before SSHing to it.  With a GUI hint telling us the DHCP
IP address, though, it's something to think about.  I also suspect that
bridging the interfaces would be simpler under Windows than NATting.
