Re: which file system for sd card?

I found vfat clearly better (less susceptible to corruption) than ext2,
however ext3 is better than vfat, but will still play up at times.

How about 'killall -STOP mplayer' (equivalent of '^z')

and then 'killall -CONT mplayer' (equivalent of 'fg' after the '^z')

Toss those into the rules.yaml, eh?

If SD firmware is "not clever enough" to expect anything that is not FAT
— I remember hearing about devices, that corrupt headers of other
filesystems because they excepted nothing but FAT.
It is also recommended to switch journaling off, because it would cause
additional writes. And this would not only wear the device, but also
likely not be of any help in event of sudden power loss because of some
internal details of SD firmware.

Now I again expect experts to fix my opinion ;D.

Neither of those filesystems are appropriate for sd cards. They have 
wear leveling logic that is not necessary or a good thing as it is 
already done in firmware for sd. An efficient journaled filesystem not 
designed for memory devices (like ext3) would be best.

I'm no fs expert either, but i would generally advise to use jffs2 or

Re: which file system for sd card?

2009-01-24 Thread HouYu Li
FAT is used for general purpose. It can be recognized on many different
systems. So if you what to share files between your Windows or Mac desktop
with your Neo using SD card. Then FAT is perfect. If the SD card is only
prepared for your Neo, EXT2/3 is preferred.

Indeed. Readers should exercise common sense when seeing mail from people, 
especially relatively well-known people in the community, which seems out of 
character or nonsensical before jumping to conclusions about that person 
becoming a spammer, going over to the Dark Side, and so on.

To avoid some problems with forged mail, I recommend setting up an SPF policy 
record:

http://www.openspf.org/

See the "Deploying SPF" part of that page and the associated setup wizard.

When I looked at openmoko.org's DNS records, I couldn't find any evidence of 
SPF policies, so perhaps someone should look into it. And everyone else who 
isn't publishing SPF policies for their domain should consider doing so, 
too - it's a pain to get a deluge of spam backscatter in one's inbox, but you 
can prevent it from happening.

Great, thanks! I didn't realise the file had been replaced and I just

BTW, I haven't seen it mentioned but I had a problem with disappearing

   Just use --force-depends, in most recent builds the gtk+ package is 
 simply "gtk+" rather than gtk+-fastscaling. So you'll have all the

  Yes, it looks like there's a mistake in the tangogps.desktop file, 
instead of having the category "Applications" it has the category 
"Application". You can fix this in one of two ways, either edit the 
tangogps.desktop file in /usr/share/applications or edit 
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu, scroll down to the bottom and add 
"Application" to the  section of the 
"Accessories" .

Sorry, you are right; as I said, not really familiar with it, and a too

Something else, the tangoGPS desktop icon stop being displayed during 
install. The tangogps.desktop file is under /usr/share/applications (I 
believe this is the right one) but it's not displayed anymore. I haven't 
rebooted yet to see if it comes back, but anyway I guess this should not

I'm probably being stupid, but I don't see any "Advanced" option in

  Are you sure it was an error? You'll still see the same message with 
--force-depends but it will be downgraded to a warning instead of an 
error and the package will be installed despite it.

  Just use --force-depends, in most recent builds the gtk+ package is 
simply "gtk+" rather than gtk+-fastscaling. So you'll have all the 
necessary files anyway.

No. fso-gpsd running or not is not what counts. fso-gpsd is just one client 
for the framework, there may be others.

This is correct, _if_ fso-gpsd happens to be the only client for the 
framework. There may be others. Only if the last client releases the GPS 
resource, the framework will shut down GPS.

HI,
I made a mistake. I do not really get two different values I get twice the same 
(3D) value but a different timestamp (see below). But anyway this is not 
correct. I don't want to set a threshold, because I need every value with an 
equidistant timestamp. Any idea what's going wrong?

> Do you have this test program to share?
I send U  the binary of my C++ Acc Test tool offlist. If somebody else wants it 
I can send it. I attached the source code.

You should use it with 2.6.28 Kernel otherwise U must set threshold and 
sample_rate manually because it is in a different folder.

you will need to install one additional lib:
opkg install libgio-2.0-0

It's a simple terminal tool use it the following way:

MokoAcc [Number of Loops] [Accelerometer 1 or 2] [100 or 400 (Hz)] [threshold]

for example: ./MokoAcc 10 2 100 0

and it will create a log file in the same directory:

cat AccLog_Acc1.txt
455.131012 -0.528137 0.704183 5.633463
455.322998 -0.528137 0.704183 5.633463

Same thing for me. Every time I try to suspend with the power button menu,
this happens to me. But if I "let" the system suspends automatically after

Good to hear.  The delays I saw disappeared after another restart of pythm.
The only problem I see now, is that the play list no longer show.  It is

Thanks, I tried and it's a little bit better. Still far from perfect 
though. Interestingly, the E settings top menu scrolls smoothly like a 
dream.

Another thing I noticed is the phone doesn't want to suspend from the 
power button menu. It just says it's going to suspend and then does nothing.

It's nice to see that SHR has now good and working basic phone apps.

  You can speed up scrolling by switching to the Software_16 engine

I just made my second try this morning and I got a lock in 35 secs 
(tried two times, consistent lock time).  8-)

I don't know why the different behaviors, but I did the tests inside a 
party tent I've in the garden and after reading how GPS behaves in 
weather (rain, cloud, snow makes no perceptible difference), the only 
thing that comes to my mind is that last time the tent was probably wet 
or might even had a thin layer of ice (temp was 0ºC). I don't know if it 
was sufficient to compromise the reception (tent now is dry), but I'll 
test it again when I get similar conditions.

Cheers,
Fernando

and it should have likewise tld you "use --scripts" (if not, then it is  a

maybe created when running a script or so? or it will be created in the  
course of compilation, thus calling the .pro later on.

Two at the price of one :-)


Could you test to set the threshold value to something low, e.g., 18 or
so? Also check the threshold file afterward you've set it so that it's
not zero, values which are too low to be represented by the threshold
code get rounded down.

Do you have this test program to share?

In qtopia-greenphone-sdk-4.3.2.iso is another iso called qtopia.iso. In
there is a file called qtopia.tar.bz which contains:
  SDK/4.3.2/x86/src/tools/svgtopicture
However, this directory contains only a svgtopicture.pro file whichs
refers to a main.cpp that is not found anywhere. :(

How to get hold of the sources or a build version of svgtopicture?

Accelerometers in Kernel 2.6.28-rc4

2009-01-24 Thread Michael Tansella
I already sent this question to the hardware list, but I think it's not really 
a hardware problem so I post this here again.

Hi,
In the new Kernel of the latest FSO I noticed some changes. The config files 
for 
parameters like threshold, sample rate etc. are now in the following folders: 

Acc1: /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/lis302dl.1
Acc2: /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/lis302dl.2

When I read out the Acc values I get strange values. I set the device to 100 
Hz that means I should get one (3D) value every 10 ms but I get two even with 
a different time stamp whitch differs round about 0.4 ms. Because of the axis 
orientation it cannot be from the second Accelerometer. So where does this 
additional (3D)value come from?

This log I recorded from the first accelerometer with 100 Hz. (If set to 400 Hz 
I get two values every 2.5 milliseconds, the same problem) 

What's going wrong?

Ah, it is called svgtopicture. Building it requires installing
QtExtended SDK (.iso) via install.sh which needs VMware player (.rpm)
rpm on Debian started complaining about not finding /bin/sh (while it
was there) and running alian told me that the pre and post install

Anyone else got svgtopicture successfully build?

Xskat for the Freerunner

2009-01-24 Thread elh
Hi,

out of curiosity I just compiled XSkat [1] (a card game) for the
Freerunner. Not much todo though. Worked almost out of the box.
So if someone wants to enjoy a game of Skat (rules and everything
on [1] if you are unfamiliar with them) against his or her
Freerunner: I've made an ipkg [2]. Tested with om2008.12
(screenshot [4]). But it shouldn't need anything other then libX11.
For the window to fit on the screen it should be rotated first. A
little script does this automaticly (xrandr -o 3) and returns back
to normal (xrandr -o 0) after the end of the game. Just change
/usr/bin/xskat-om.sh if you like it any other way round, :).


Hope it works not just for me, :)
