Re: [2008.12] fr gets very hot w/ wifi, gps and wallcharger Re: Hot stuff (literally!)

2009-01-28 Thread William Kenworthy
This does look like an events/0 runaway - It can flatten a full battery
in little more than anhour when it really gets going :(

Its apparently fixed in latest kernels, but thats not an option for me
at least - though with 2008.12, it happens a lot less.

I think most problems could be solved by using a dictionary format
similar to what you describe above, i.e. something like:

match : candidate1 candidate2; frequency
for example:
vogel : Vogel Vögel; 123

That would mean you can search on the normalised word where simple
strcmp works fine and will be fast enough. To not make it too large
for example the following syntax could also be accepted:
eat; 512 // No candidates, just show the match as is
har här hår; 1234// Also show the match itself as a candidate

If you think this would be good enough, I could try to implement it.

Another problem with languages like Swedish, and also Japanese, is the
heavy use of conjugation. For example, in Japanese the verbs 食べる and
考える can both be conjugated in the same way like this:
食べる 食べました 食べた 食べている 食べていた 食べています 食べていました
考える 考えました 考えた 考えている 考えていた 考えています 考えていました

Another example, the Swedish nouns:
bil bilen bilar bilarna bilens bilarnas

But including all these forms in a dictionary makes it very large,
which is impractical. So some way to indicate possible conjugations
would be good, but it would make the dictionary format a lot more
complex.

Best regards,

Olof Sjöbergh

I find this normal when doing the same.  However, if notably warm/hot
you may have an events/0 runaway - if you see events/0 eating between
30% and 60% cpu in top, you will have to reboot.

Cause can be anything, but for me its most often something happens when
using GPS.

1 & 2 - if it works leave it be...  :)   Seriously, though: the
double-slashes aren't an issue, and I presume the armv4 feed is the result
of a typo since other feeds (OM as well as Angstrom) do not have such a
version, but I could easily be wrong. :)

3 - What SHR version are you using?  Testing, Unstable or Unstable-lite?  I
didn't think mofi was included in the Unstables, and haven't seen it in
several weeks so am not able to comment on any problems with it.  But I CAN
assure you that the difference between Testing (Christmastime release) and
Unstable (couple days ago) is tremendous.  At this time, given that we all
understand it's still in development, I have to recommend Unstable over
Testing.  (that will change of course when the next semi-stable 'testing'
release is made - but for now, the number and degree of improvements and
fixes that are still not committed to Testing makes it less functional than
Unstable IMHO)

4 - This is all to do with the Enlightenment Illume and Elementary themes. 
There are IIRC two default themes bundled with SHR right now, and they're
still incomplete, though progressing.  The gold scrollbar is one of the
'legacy' theme portions that still 'shows through' from the default E17
theme, while the black ones are the new SHR theme.  (for those interested,
an Illume theme's .edj file can choose to NOT override any given defaults
by simply not defining anything - IE if you leave scrollbars unlisted then
the default is used - personally I'd like to see a new Default crafted
that's more small-screen-oriented, but as long as a theme is "complete" it
works as well)

6 - Sounds like you are using Testing, the keyboard tends to popup pretty
reliably when needed for me for the last several weeks I've been running
Unstable.  The presence of the qwerty keyboard button in the top shelf is
theme-dependant.  (as is the spanner/wrench config button)  Again this
sounds like Testing, since IIRC both themes in Unstable have both icons.

8 - I use "gprson" and "gprsoff", one-liner scripts with the following
contents, which can be invoked directly but less conveniently:

#!/bin/sh
#gprson
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogpsd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ActivateContext internet3.voicestream.com x x

#!/bin/sh
#gprsoff
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogpsd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.DeactivateContext 


The last three items when activating GPRS are APN, User, & Pass.  In my
case I'm on T-Mobile's Internet3 (InternetVPN) service in the US, and they
don't care about user and pass so just 'x' and 'x' should be suitable for
any T-Mo:US users.  Many carriers' APNs and some additional details are
listed at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPRS#Some_APN_names_for_reference -
if yours isn't listed, get the APN from the carrier, then update the wiki
to add it. :)

Happily, frameworkd takes care of everything else, so

Ok, I can see someone wanting this behavior, however I still see it as very
contrived. Not only contrived, it makes little  sense.  First, something
already exists for this called a mute button, or pause button.
If you don't want other people to hear what's going on... why did you unplug
your headphone? If I unplug
my headphone while listening to music, it means I want to listen to it on
the speaker.  Otherwise... why did you unplug it?

Sounds like those apps should have their own state file, and restore it when

I don't know which apps you're talking about, so I'm probably not seeing the
reasons to want that.

If you want finer control amixer or libasound are the simple ways to do it. 
Or the alternative, reinvent UNIX poorly
with unnecessarily complex abstractions.

In Om2008.12 it is, in latest unstable SHR, it is not. However the

Click your stylus (or finger) at the very top of the screen.  You should 
get a panel with three large buttons on it.  On the buttons are some 
boxes, a house, and a big X.  Above these buttons on the left is a 
wrench icon, and on the right is a 'qwerty' label.  Click on the

Contrived? It's an example of good behaviour by an existing phone, so it's a 
real world example.

Several people have asked about unusual audio routing configurations for 
specific applications. If another app changes the mixer settings then these 
apps will not work correctly, so it would be beneficial for them to handle 
this gracefully. To do this they need notification of the change in mixer 
setting. 

Changing the entire mixer scenario strikes me as being too coarse a control, 
but I haven't heard of any better proposals for abstraction.

[SHR] Miscellanious minor issues

2009-01-28 Thread Pander
Hi all,

I've been an FDOM-adept and am new to SHR. I am using it now and this
distributions holds a lot of potential. I completely understand that
this is an unstable distribution and it has an issue tracker (which I use).

Nevertheless, I hope you can answer the following some questions on some
issues, or at least I hope they can be input as a simple test report.
Excuse me if they contain trivial things or too well know issues:

1) One of the opkg repositories is non existing, so I disabled it for
now, see:
r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ cat armv4-feed.conf
#src/gz shr-armv4 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4

Will this repo come on line or is it depreicated and should the
definition be removed from opkg configuration all together?

2) The repos have a lot of double slashes (//), see:
r...@om-gta02 /etc/opkg $ grep \/\/ *
all-feed.conf:src/gz shr-all http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//all
armv4-feed.conf:#src/gz shr-armv4
http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4
armv4t-feed.conf:src/gz shr-armv4t
http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//armv4t
om-gta02-feed.conf:src/gz shr-om-gta02
http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk//om-gta02

Should these remain like this or is this a no-brainer?

3) Today (29 Jan 2009) I did an opkg update and opkg upgrade and Mofi
Wifi hangs when I run it, even before the menu comes up. Is this known?
What could be a fix? Will wicd be ported to SHR?

4) Sometimes the scroll bar on the left is gold (see contacts) and
sometimes it is black (see settings).

5) Can the vote plugin be installed inside of SHR Trac?

6) How do I have a virtual Illume keyboard popup for the terminal,
midori, pidgin?

7) Will the GPS get an icon which indicates if it is powered on, off,
and perhaps even the number of satellites it is receiving correctly.

8) Anyone have a howto, script or some code to the GRPS working?

Thanks and keep up the good work,

Pander

the problem here comes with having multiple displays for a single match. let me
take japanese as an example (i hope you have the fonts to see this at least -
though there is no need to understand beyond knowing that there are a lot of
matches that are visibly different):

sakana ->
 さかな 茶菓な 肴 魚 サカナ 坂な 差かな 左かな 査かな 鎖かな 鎖かな

unlike simple decimation of é -> e and ë -> e and è -> e etc. you need 1 ascii
input string matching one of MANY very different matches. the european case of

vogel -> Vogel Vögel

is a simplified version of the above. the reason i wanted "decimation to match
a simple roman text (ascii) string is - that this is a pretty universal thing.
thats how japanese, chinese and even some korean input methods work. it also
works for european languages too. europeans are NOT used to the idea of a
dictionary guessing/selecting system when they type - but the asians are. they
are always typing and selecting. the smarts come with the dictionary system
selecting the right one more often than not by default or the right selection
you want being only 1 or 2 keystrokes away.

i was hoping to be able to keep a SIMPLE ascii qwerty keyboard for as much as
possible - so you can just type and it will work and offer the selections as
it's trying to guess anyway - it can present the multiple accented versions
too. this limits the need for special keyboards - doesn't obviate it, but
allows more functionality out of the box. in the event users explicitly select
an accented char - ie a non-ascii character, it should not "decimate". it
should try match exactly that char.

so if you add those keys and use them or flip to another key layout to select
them - you get what you expect. but if i am to redo the dict - the api is very
generic - just the internals and format need changing to be able to do the
above. the cool bit is.. if i manage the above... it has almost solved asian
languages too - and input methods... *IF* the vkbd is also able to talk to a
complex input method (XIM/SCIM/UIM etc.) as keystroke faking wont let you type
chinese characters... :) but in principle the dictionary and lookup scheme will
work - its then just mechanics of sending the data to the app in a way it can
use it.

so back to the trie... the trie would only be useful for the ascii matching - i
need something more complex. it just combines the data with the match tree
(letters are inline). i need a match tree + lookup table to other matches to
display - and possibly several match entries (all the matches to display also
need to be in the tree pointing to a smaller match list).

Hi Steven,

A thought - as an alternative to using a camera, find a
scanner/photocopier multifunction device gadget thing, and stick the
circuit board on that - it creates much better images. Some of them have
a scan to pdf or tiff, and then fire it to an email address or ftp
server - that's what we've done here.

Cheers,
David

I think that too. Maybe using something like a "trie" [1] to archive the

Yes, that's a problem I ran into with Swedish as well. We have for
example har/här/hår etc. But with a good dictionary it actually works
ok, if not optimally. For these words you have to select the one you
want from the matches which is a little annoying but not a total
show-stopper.

To fix it, either you would need different normalisation tables for
each language, or a new dictionary format. Raster said in an earlier
mail on the list that he'd fix it someday but had a lot of other stuff
to look at now. So I guess we have to be patient for now.

So, are there any steps to take to reproduce this, and/or check if it

Shouldn't do, but it's closed firmware, so who knows.  On 2.6.24 there

It hasn't been observed on 2.6.28+.  So if it helps people choose, it's
a good idea to use a distro that is supporting current kernels.

Surely the traditional mailing list problem remains - subscribers to  
the list will still receive messages with the full from address  
intact. Or do you intend to obfuscate that, too? Surely a spammer can  
just subscribe to the list to obtain all our addresses?

Obfuscating email addresses on the web archive is, IMO, no substitute  
for sensible policies (greylisting, RBL, SFF?) at your incoming mail  
server.

I can't see an easy way.

WLAN can't be disconnected from power, and the device won't stay up
without a battery typically.

What I would suggest is update to something using the newer kernel and
see if it still happens.  One of the changes in the newer kernels is
overhaul of the WLAN driver.

In git anyway the packaging config for the kernel has WLAN stuff as
modules, and when you rmmod the module it should take the device down to
its lowest power state.  So that should give a way to try to point the
finger anyway.

Only these messages had the first letter removed, not other test 
messages. And the usual message receive screen didn't come up. The 
messages just appeared in the inbox. So I guessed the keyed messages had 
been processed differently somehow.

I will try to test more. Maybe the inbox was too full? Other messages 
gets delayed in such cases, could that happen to keyed messages as well?


An unrelated idea: When tangogps is installed, how about locating a 
useful map tile for the position? Add a location pointer, and send it as 
a MMS image? Most phones can display an image, and you won't need to 
look up the coordinates manually anywhere.

The most useful tile would be one that doesn't have the position too 
close to the edge, and maximally zoomed in. (Depends on what tiles there 
are.)

No, it's not volcanic, but it shouldn't run that warm to the touch, should it?

It isn't always thievery. What do you do if you find a phone?
It is easier to return if it states who owns it as soon as you turn it 
on. None of that cumbersome "call every contact to see if they know the 
owner". Especially on such a "unfamiliar" phone.

Also, location reported through gps is useful if you simply forgot it 
and have no idea where, after a busy day. Friends house? Some 
restaurant? Petrol station?

Well, Windows told me that 'one of the network cables was not connected'... so.

But, I've taken out the charger, and the USB cable as well, and that
was over a half hour ago.

It's not hot to the tough, but definitively un-cool. I'd wager the
back cover to be at about 30degrees... it feels warm to the lips.

I'll wait a bit before I drop out the battery... to give them time to

touch it with a piece of paper -- if it burns, temp is above 200°c, if not  
drop some water on it -- if it boils it's above 100°c.
if the temp is lower, you could pry the back cover open and let the

So, if I take out the charger, it should cool down? And what if it doesn't?

that's probably the cause -- i don't know what distribution you are using  
(hint, hint), but at least debian/fso seems to restart charging when  
dropping below a certain level.
if that level is to high and you're using the wall charger (1000mA!)  
frequent recharge might be the effect -- and since those batteries usually

Once a 'trade secret' is no longer a trade secret, since it can be

Locked WinMo devices optionally display a message (e.g. for
contact/reward details), in addition to the keypad for unlocking the
phone, when switched on or woken up. This would allow return of the
phone whether it was stolen or simply lost.

Bricking the phone won't get it back, but having the above, plus
having the phone report its location regularly, would seem to maximise
chances of recovery.

Yes, the obvious fix is to change the dictionary format. However, it's
not as simple as you might think.

The dictionary today is stored in utf8, not utf16. But the dictionary
lookup tries to match words not exactly the same as the input word,
for example e should also match é, è and ë. To do this, every
character in the input string, and every character of each word, has
to be "normalised" to ascii. Since in utf8 a single character can take
up multiple bytes, to normalise a word it's first converted to utf16
where all characters are the same size, and then a simple lookup table
can be used for each character. But converting from multibyte format
each time a string is compared to another adds overhead.

With a different dictionary format where all words are stored already
normalised, there would be no need for all the conversions. But then
you also have to store all possible conversions for each word, so the
format would be more complicated.

Best regards,

Olof Sjobergh

At least the thief can't use it that way, but he'll just throw it away.

If you want it back, consider software that does this:
1. Sends a sms with gps location now and then. But not so often as
to use up the battery quickly.
2. Replace the usual ringtone with "Help, this phone is stolen!"
3. Replace the window manager with a single window that reads:
-
This phone belong to:
 name
 address
 
 Please return it for a $nn refund.
-
There should be no user interface here, no buttons to press and
no way out. (If you get it back - reflash or log in with ssh to
get it out of "stolen mode". You should have a nice long root
password.)

Some thieves might go for the refund, when they find that the
phone cannot be used at all. Others might throw it away. Someone else 
might find it and go for the refund, or you might be able to find it at 
the reported gps location.

Still, if you want to brick the phone badly - overwrite the gsm modem 
firmware. No more calls! Then overwrite both nand flash and nor flash - 
nor more boot. Or maybe the boot message could show the "stolen" message 
above, and shut down again after a minute to conserve battery. After 
this, a debug board will be necessary.

Known problem. You can delete the _last_ notification window with the X, 
but window-closing fail if anything else is opened before you do it.
(More messages coming in, or other apps opening windows.)

This will likely be fixed, in the meantime the workaround is to
delete such windows quickly. Open "Messages" if you need to look
at a SMS again, don't leave those notification windows open.

To clear them out: ssh into the phone, and restart the x server with
/etc/init.d/xserver-something restart
(I don't remember the "something", just type up to and including 
"xserver", then hit TAB.)

Don't give that command in the terminal window, because the terminal
disappears when X shuts down. This kills the script so X won't
come up again.

If you can't use ssh, just reboot the phone with the power button. This 
obviously works too, but takes more time.

You set the clock with the 'date' command. I.e.:
date MMDDhhmm
MM month, currently 01
DD day
hh hour
mm minute

However, you should set up the timezone first.
The standard recipe is to make /etc/localtime a symlink to the 
appropriate file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ , but it looks like copying the 
file into /etc/localtime is necessary on the freerunner. Well, perhaps a 
hardlink works too.

Debug board v3 and neo1973 (gta01)

2009-01-28 Thread Frederic Leroy
Hello, 

I can't make openocd work with my neo.
I checked carefully cables, use several usb port and have
mainly test with a self-powered hub.
When I plug the usb cable in the debug board or launch openocd, the
screen of the neo flashes white. Sometimes, it just stay white when
plugging the board on the pc.
Is-it a good behaviour ?

I try to use openocd with this configuration, and tried with changing
speed to 0,4,8 : 

telnet_port 
gdb_port 
interface ft2232
jtag_speed 0
ft2232_vid_pid 0x1457 0x5118

daemon_startup attach
target arm920t little reset_run 0 arm920t
working_area 0 0x20 0x4000 backup
run_and_halt_time 0 5000

You can found the output of openocd here :

The version of openocd I tried was the ubuntu one, and the static one
made by bitbake with the fso-makefile configuration.

I looked into this issue when my Swedish keyboard didn't work
correctly. I found some issues and some parts that could be improved
and sent a patch with these fixes to the enlightenment devel list.
However, even fixing everything I could find, it's still a bit slow.
The problem seems to be the conversion to utf16 for each and every
strcmp when doing the lookup.

Unless I missed something big (which I hope I didn't, but I wouldn't
be surprised if I did), this is not fixable with the current
dictionary lookup design. Raster talked about redesigning the

Be aware that for now you are stuck with an ancient kernel
(2.6.21-hh20). I don't know if somebody is actively working on the
kernel right now. The big problem with anything >= 2.6.23 is that the
ASIC3 MMC driver doesn't work since then. It was the only way to have
storage (unless somebody figures out how to write a working MTD driver
for the NAND flash).

I have no experience with Jalimo, but there is no externally
accessible serial port on the Universal. The PXA270's UARTs are
connected to the MSM6250, BRF6150 and the IrDA circuitry. To my
current knowledge, it doesn't have USB OTG capabilities either. I
think the only feasible way to connect an external GPS would be via
Bluetooth.

You mean it like an idea for the next openmoko phone? Because I don't

But I also like that idea. I used to have Sony Ericsson P800 and it

can use most of the basic functions with only the jog dial. I can move

The reason for there not being a patch is that everyone's preferences are 
different. You need to adjust the settings in the appropriate state file 
(gsmhandset.state for phone calls) to get settings you are happy with. Angus 
Ainslie's pymixer should help you with that if you don't want to use a text

I think 2008.12 added a volume slider to the phone gui that uses an extra

There is another situation that I find to be a worry: In order to send
mail to this list you have to have a registered address. In the above case
it was proper "openmoko.org" addresses that was used in the Joe Job
attack, but it could have been anybody else who have sent an email to the
list. Looking in the list archives I can see that not enough is being done
to obscure sender addresses. Currently the only thing that is being done
is to replace the "@" with a "at". So "dor...@grey.com"
would become "dorian at grey.com". Sweet! Armed with wget to leech all the
archives, a few text tools (grep, Perl, Python, etc) and I can build up a
list of addresses (almost 100% confirmed working addresses) that could be
used for various spamming activities. A list of active addresses is worth
money too! ;-) So what I suggest is that the list administrators obfuscate
list members' addresses even more. MailMan's Pipermail archiver can do
this if properly set up.

I got my 3G capable sim from vodafone de working last night after flashing to 
moko10.  However, as per the wiki I ran the above commands and didn't get any 
response on the phone. The phone works, I could call and whatnot.

Mine too. Thats what I meant by no response above. I'll be testing the Ireland 
three and uk three sim on the cards later this week and will let you know how 
I get on.

Yes that's it. It's the C4303 which totally burned when we tried to
resoldered it. Hopefully, the fix that we made works.

HTC + Openmoko + Jalimo

2009-01-28 Thread Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio
Hello, list:

According to this website, Openmoko runs well on the HTC Universal:

http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/UniversalStatus

Does this mean that the Jalimo stack will work without problems on it? Actually 
I'm not especially interested in the phone features, but rather in the GUI 
capabilities (will a java.awt.Choice look good?, will the Graphics.fillPolygon 
work?) and access to the serial port (external GPS).

Any of you has ideas / examples / experience / links on this?

Regards,
Juan Lucas

Sorry I should have said my phone is a bit confused and the command

"cat /dev/ttySAC0 &"

returns immediately as "done" so there is no output from the other echo
commands. I'll reflash the phone and see if I can get some sense out of it.

You can use any that fits. To be able to charge from
not-openmoko-usb-chargers, you might need to install & run something
like this: http://www.opkg.org/package_42.html (and select the Force
USB charge mode). On computer any cable should start the recharge
automagically.

Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha

2009-01-28 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
Never done it before on Openmoko but as far as I understand this adds
the new repository:

echo "src/gz opkgorg http://www.opkg.org/packages"; > /etc/opkg/opkg.conf

and now it's already updating some stuff I've installed. Great, this
will make it a lot easier to write a script that installs packages:
you always get the latest version..

First example on top of my head : you are listening to music via your
headset, and you unplug it : if in a public place, it might be convenient to
pause media player to avoid bothering your neighboors. My other phone
behaves like that and i find it convenient and respectful for the other
people.
