Hi,

I'm not working on a port of this, but I'm working on a dictionary
program of my own. There's still some stuff to do, so I haven't made
any packages yet. I'd recommend you wait until it's a bit more stable,
but if you feel like checking it out, it's hosted on Github at
http://github.com/olofsj/elexika.

I never really liked the way most dictionary programs present the
results, so I'm trying to write it the way I'd like it. It's written
in Elementary and the dictionary backend is in C for speed. One goal
is for it to be simple to add new dictionaries, you just specify in a
textfile how the dictionary is formatted and how the results should be
presented. However, it doesn't (and probably won't) support fuzzy
matching and such like Stardict.

Hope you'll like it when it's released. =)

Best regards,

Olof Sjöbergh

Package management is something I think of as a fairly independent
thing, rather than part of "Settings".  Granted its UI could be called
up from within a settings panel or something, but its purpose, usage,
and design seem distinctly apart from what I think most people consider
"settings".

Regardless, given the variety and nature of the things itemized I
wondered if it had accidentally been omitted, and if so which list it
was on.

Sliding here means any form of scrolling and dragging.
Scrolling of lists such as contacts, messages etc and sliding of items 
in that list t have secondary functions connected to those.

Our problem here is, that the py bindings for etk are broken (and the 
scrolling would be slow), in elm it seems to be slow using py as well 
and implementing it in edje/embryo directly is a lot of tricky coding.

Re: Feature overview out of the box SHR unstable distribution

2009-03-02 Thread Nacho Seijo
I agree, with Phone Log you have an overview log. That's great! But this is
the only way you have to realize you have missed calls.
Could it be possible to notify missed calls by a notification screen? Or
even better, could it be possible to notify them by an icon on top shelf?
Some new top shelf gadget as clock, wifi or gsm.
Raster, could this gadget be possible in illume? :)
And maybe another icon to notify unread sms, instead of see the unread sms'
content in the screen. Since anybody near the Freerunner can read it.

Maybe someone else will have a brighter idea, but all I can suggest at
this point is unplug, remove battery, then hold down AUX while
inserting battery.  If that doesn't work, but it just boots right up
instead, then try to confirm that the AUX button is functional, as I'm
starting to suspect a bum button.  If that's the case I've no idea what
solution is feasible.

Re: [All] To build a better music player

2009-03-02 Thread Dylan Reilly
* The "cannot set suspend messages" are OK. They are there in debug
output for the sake of debugging. Pythm requests CPU resource from FSO
to halt suspending during playback. Frameworkd is smart enough to only
allow one lock per process. That message is FSO telling pythm that.

* I fixed the "volume" problem in 0.5.5. Please upgrade to that version.

* Thank you for the bug about the directory structure. I will look
into handling that better. Eventually pythm will be able to remember
things like directories on its own (without /etc/pythm.conf). I am
planning to add some sort of session memory.

* I agree that the files should be sorted by track number. Sorting by
file name was step 1. The original pythm had no sorting. This is a
known TODO.

I think "package management GUI" can be included in "Settings application".
And for the wifi feature, I recommend the knjMokoWifi which using PHP-GTK.
It works very well and with comprehensive interface.

What about package management GUI - is one planned to be included?

When you add an entire directory to playlist, tracks are alphabetically

tags).

I have a lot of disks without track number on track name, only identified by 
track# on id3/ogg

I've tried several times again.

After removing the battery for several minutes the device
automatically boots when the battery is replaced.  By the time I've
turned the device around after replacing the back cover the "openmoko"
logo is already displayed.  (The device was not connected to any
computer.)

So I've shut the device down again by pressing the power button for
several seconds.

Without removing the battery but waiting some 30 seconds:
1) press and hold AUX
2) press and hold power
after about 4 seconds the AUX button lights up, about 2 seconds later
the "openmoko" logo is displayed and after that the device boots
I released both buttons as soon as the "openmoko" logo was displayed.

Again power down the device
1) press and hold power
2) press (and hold) AUX approx 2 seconds after pressing power before
the openmoko logo is displayed

again the device boots without displaying any kind of boot menu

Is it possible to reconfigure the wait time of the boot menu via the
device?  I can't find anything in the settings menu or any terminal
application that would allow me to execute commands.

Regards

Bram

Yeah, thought that at first as well, but almanac data was okay at that

change the power button to esc and back? I like the fullscreen...

You should edit the script that launches scummvm and disable fullscreen
mode. So, you can pop the keyboard and skip intros, pause the game or
enter information.

Just to clarify and be sure:
3) Press and hold down AUX button
4) while AUX is still held down, press and hold power button until the
boot menu appears.  Then release both buttons.

That should present you with the NOR boot menu.  The NAND boot menu
(the one that can be readily overwritten) is accessed by:
3) Press and hold down Power button
4) while holding down power button, and /before/ booting begins (IE,
within 5-6 seconds should be fine) press and hold AUX, then release both
buttons after boot menu appears.

I've never found the powerdown process to be so sensitive...  The issue
with external power (step #1 refers to AC power as well as USB-port from
a host computer) is that when you plug in, it often starts booting
without needing a power press.  In this situation, however, if you're
holding down the AUX button when you plug it in you'll end up with the
boot menu.  Other than removing the battery to effect a hard-reset, I've
never performed step #2 above.

Generally you'd want the NAND boot menu to actually boot, since it's
presumably at least as new as the NOR, but potentially much newer,
possibly drastically different (Qi vs uBoot).  Use the NOR boot menu
when flashing, however.

2009-03-02 Thread Bram Mertens

based on screenshots of the various distributions online.

I found the instructions on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia to be

followed those instructions to install the files of
qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-flash.tgz (from
http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=98).

So now I have what I believe to be everything I need on the SD but I'm
unable to boot it!

I've tried several times to follow the instructions on
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_the_Neo_FreeRunner as well as
those on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Bootloader but I cannot get the
device to display the boot menu.

>From the above I understand that the following should suffice:
1) shut down the device and disconnect it from the computer
2) remove the battery for at least 30 secs
3) press and hold the AUX button
4) press and hold the power button until the boot menu appears

The first thing I see is "OpenMoko", then the initialization messages
scroll by and FDOM is started.  (The AUX button flashes once shortly
before "Openmoko" is displayed on the screen.)

As this is my first experience with the FreeRunner I'm reluctant to
even try and flash the internal memory before I've been able to
install a distribution on the SD card.

Any pointers on how I can access the boot menu?
What information can/should I provide further?

Thanks in advance

Another attempt at speeding up yaouh, with persistent connections

2009-03-02 Thread Helge Hafting

My last attempt at speeding up yaouh was not only clunky to use, it also
drove the cpu load up to 12-15, which made the phone extremely sluggish
during the update.

This time I took a different approach that keeps the load in the 0.3-0.5
range.

There is no more parallelism than what you find in standard yaouh v. 0.4,
most of the speedup comes from avoiding network latency. Standard yaouh uses
curl to fetch the checksum for one file at a time. My approach have curl
downloading all the files in a directory in one operation. This helps a lot,
because curl will use persistent connections instead of making a new
connection per file. Not having to start a new process for each file helps
too. It looks like openstreetmap can have up to 50 files in a directory.

The same trick is used for md5sum, as md5sum also is capable of processing
several files in one go. This avoid some process startup time as well.

Finally, files that aren't up-to-date are downloaded with curl instead of
wget. This way one invocation can download all stale tiles in a directory in
one go, again utilizing persistent connections. 

So far this program has checked 5100 files in 12 minutes, and downloaded
260. It looks like it will get through all my 50.000 tiles in under 2 hours.
I use wifi, the usb connection may be slower.

If anyone want to try, here is the download link.
http://www.aitel.hist.no/~helgehaf/openmoko/yaouh_new.py

Install yaouh v 0.4 from opkg.org if you don't already have it, so that all
dependencies are in place. My modified script should then work.

Full screen is how paroli is intended to be used. It will not be a WM,
launcher etc. It will still co-exist quite nicely with illume and that
is how I've been running it for the last few days. Providing a stable
phone platform is what paroli is about.

Once the UI spec is published it should become a little clearer.

I've had this happen when ScummVM freezes or exits unintentionally.  
I've found that starting and quitting ScumVM without playing anything  
brings the AUX lock back. you could also remap the key with xmodmap.

It is THAT how we quit games in ScummVM and how we save and load progress

AFAIK, scummvm overrides it so it makes an 'F5' pulsation. It ceased to
work with 2008.08, but it works again in 2008.12, as I can see.

Thanks for keeping us informed of the release schedule! One question

the armel packages of debian are working with all other distros, too.  
since the package names to frinst opkg may differ, you could test with ldd  
which libs are necessary and check with opkg, which packages you need to  
install.
or you just convert the debian packages with alien to simple tar.gz and

  Well, I was thinking more of a configurable action - either in rules.yaml
(that covers some user cases) or by exposing the functionality in a known
way that allows apps to override the normal usage.
  Also, there could be different uses depending on whether there is one
press, two presses or a long press. Maybe a long press could be used as a
screen lock - leaving the other two for context based use.

 Has the fix been sent to FSO? I'm having similar problems on FSO. After I
request resource CPU / Display - yhe release does not seem to restart
suspending / display dimming. Seems like your fix might sort that out too.

Om2009 release plan

2009-03-02 Thread Angus Ainslie
Spring a time for new beginnings and we have a plan. An Om2009 release
plan that is.

For the remainder of March we are going to be integrating. We're going
put FSO milestone 5.5, the stable kernel, paroli and the new xorg-glamo
drivers together and make our most stable distro ever. Any incomplete
features need to be finished and integrated before the end of March. The
builds in March will be called Alpha builds, and will receive only
partial testing.

The following features already have an owner and will be taken care of
before the end of March:
phone calls incoming and outgoing
sms incoming and outgoing
simple phone book (no images)
call log
charging
suspend and resume
alarm clock
resume speed < 2 seconds
boot time < 2 minutes
screen lock
battery indicator (gta01 and gta02 battery)
gsm indicator

Then there are still features looking for someone to help bring them in
before the end of March:
Settings application
gprs & edge 
user changeable ring tones
bluetooth
wifi
led indication for missed calls or sms
sliding in UI

In April we start with Beta builds and full testing. From then on only
critical features and bug fixes will be backported into the branch. If
you're brave and test with us please use the bug filing procedure below.

During the Beta phase in April and May, the phone will become fully
functional.  Full testing will be weekly at this point to try and nail
the stability. Any remaining bugs  will need closing.  This is when we
need to nail all the showstopper bugs and we're going to need your ( the
communities help ). Your responsibility will be to find bugs and make
sure they get into trac.openmoko.org.

When filing a bug :

1) Don't request new features or enhancements during this period. They
will slow us down.

2) search 3 different ways to make sure it's not a duplicate. Duplicates
will slow us down. The couple of extra minutes you try to search will
save us a lot of time and may even find you a solution. During your
search if you find bugs that might depend on one another add it to the
comments.

3) attach your log files ( anything in /tmp or /var/log that ends in
log ). 

4) include as much of a description as you can.

5) include patches. They make fixing the bugs easier.

At the end of May we'll start generating release candidates (RC builds).
If we all pull together we should be able to get it out in the second
week of June. If it's not quite right yet we'll keep doing release
candidates until it is. I don't want to jinx it by saying the release is
going to be Om2009.x ,we'll leave off the x and aim for June. Who's in?

And about the enhancements and feature requests I'm serious they kill
schedules so if you want us to make it don't ask for anything that's not
in the UI spec ( to be released at http://www.paroli-project.org/,
shortly I hope ).

New accelerometer application, that draws the current perpendicular line and angle

2009-03-02 Thread hab keen oh ne
Hi Community,
I
have recently written a little utility, that draws the perpendicular
line using the accelerometers. It is based upon SDL and SDL_ttf (for
drawing the angle). I hope you can enjoy it, I will soon release a
binary package.
Here the source code:
http://rabenfrost.net/openmoko/perpendicular-0.1.tar.bz2
It only contains a very ugly Makefile, I hope you can manage to compile it.
Greetings,

I'm running (as the Subject: says) Om2008.9 im my FR; and yes, you can
install in some dirty way *.dep packages in Om2008.x; I do it this way,
don't know if there is some other/better way:

- untar the *.dep file
  $ tar xzf sdcv_0.4.2-9_armel.deb

- move the resulting file 'data.tar.gz' to the FR and have a look into;

- mostly the structure is like this:
  ./usr
  ./usr/bin
  ./usr/bin/sdcv
  ...

  i.e. you can just 'cd /' and unpack the content

I've now sdcv working in UTF-8 with my Spanish dictionary.

Re: [All] To build a better music player

2009-03-02 Thread The Digital Pioneer
Yeah, Pythm gets mad when you try to use it with a bad directory for music
in the conf file. I would say put the right dir in /etc/pythm.conf and you
should be OK. **Note**: there are two music dirs in the conf file, one for
the mplayer config and another for gstreamer. I always fix both, but
changing whichever is part of your backend will probably suffice.

True, and that's closer to what I use on my computer. However, I believe the
FR is mono anyways, no? And the quality can be dropped a ways (I think so at

perfectly clear, or at least as clear as can be expected from those

remember you are just getting e's default upstream theme - it actually works
just fine on the more modern devices i have (omap3, 6410 etc.) and looks nice
to boot. i am not going to go to a lot of extra work by doing a specially

works - i'm leaving it tat that :)

it looks good in screenshots. you have a 16bpp screen like it or not anyway.
duke render in 8bpp then expands to 16bpp - evas actualyl does the harder.
renders in 32bpp and goes down to 16. you can get speed by building without
dithering on - or use line dithering that is as fast as none, but offer some
level of dither. not good for artificial images, but ok for photos. better than
no dither.

there is always a lag - also notice there is an explicit lag too - there is a
minimum amount of finger movement before it considers it a scroll. this is just
due to the nature of inaccurate finger input.

yup. so this stuff always comes with a big gotcha. use mroe ram, so also now
use cpu caches less effectively, and possibly pay a price of cycling the scale
caches too often thus negating the benefit. so as such i just have not done it
to date as it simply has not turned out an "on average win".

You seem to want the hide-my-caller-id on a per-number basis, but so far, on

the dbus call ahs to be issued at least once after the start of frameworkd  
-- so, unless frameworkd has an option to do that by itself, you or an app  
has to do it -- but that means btw, that _all_ calls will be affected.
there are *??# or #??# codes to prefix the number with, that suppress the  
transmission of your number. look for those or ask your provider.
numbers where your id should be hidden all the time could then be prefixed  
in your addressbook.

also, it could be an improvement request to the programmer(s) of your  
calling gui, to have a button or checkbox "hide my id" in the dial pad.

Well, some of us like -q6 and stereo. :-)  mplayer may eat a lot of cpu, 
  but skipping is easily dealt with by running mplayer at nice -15, 
which is higher priority than enlightenment (which runs at nice -10).

The phone gets very sluggish for other uses, but the music is fine. The 
"other uses" recover their speed immediately when the music stops.

It is more that it is available via easy to controls, i.e. "my mother
could use it". Hence that the table indicates that it is not yet
available. But many things are not yet available, let the table evolve
as time over time :)

perhpas you can do:

That will list the packages that contains "locale"

The page indicates that flight mode isn't available.
But one can use SHR settings and turn the GSM modem off. That is flight 
mode by another name - other equipment shouldn't see radio interference.
The phone even works after turning GSM on again, although this takes 
some time.

That is an opkg bug, because opkg shouldn't crash just because it gets a
bad package. Instead, it ought to give an error message along the lines 
of "broken package".

With SHR, the normal use for AUX is to lock/unlock the screen. This is 
useful when you can't suspend, but still want to put the phone in a 
pocket where accidental pressing may happen.

For example, when the gps is in use when walking/bicycling/skiing. AUX 
protects against wrong keypresses that at worst could stop the gps 
logging. And AUX is also easy to press - even with gloves - in order to 
take a quick look at the map.

I don't plan on bying new phones too often, certainly not just because 
some new model came out. It'd ahve to have a clear advantage too.

But there is nothing wrong in them having two lines of phone - one with 
hacker appeal and one with mass-market appeal to bring in the money.

The hacker phones will be smaller series, but they attract people who 
does lots of free development. Lots of open-source apps, many which will 
work fine on the mass-market phones as well, making them more popular.

If the mass-market phone succeeds, then they will be made in large 
series. That makes it possible to get more interesting parts, perhaps 
even 3G someday. Of course, some of these mass-purchased parts can go 
into the next small-series of hackerphones has well.

Good advice. Critic based on assumptions isn't good enough.
Still, the problem remain. The user interface is a bit on the slow side. 
And it doesn't have to - simplified themes are faster.

Eye candy is nice - but not when it cause performance problems. eye

Well, it was a joke. Duke gets much speed from low resolution.
Still - it raises questions. Do we want the resolution, 16bpp, alpha 
blend and so on?

I happen to like the high resolution and color depth. So perhaps 
scrolling cannot go really fast in my case, and instead must to big 
jumps to keep up with finger speed. It'd still be nice if it was more 
responsive - scrolling start noticeably later than the dragging.

Yes, I understand this is hard to do in the general case.
The application launcher's icon collection is a specific case though. 
The icons seem to be static, and they can be scaled once. (Actually, 
whenever the user resets the icon size or install more apps.)

You need to install a UTF-8 locale. To see which locales you have
installed, run

locale -a

Unfortunately, I don't remember the package names for locales. But
with an UTF-8 locale installed, I know that at least vala-terminal

Playing the music still fails. I get the correct song length displayed, 
and the seconds counts up. But I can't hear anything, even if I turn the

I'll install the new testing image when it shows up at the website then.

I also have a problem with turning the backlight timeout on/off in SHR

[SHR] Phonelog and hidden caller ids

2009-03-02 Thread Xavier Cremaschi
Hi folks,
phonelog crashes as soon as someone calls me from a phone with hidden 
caller id.

There is a simple problem in /usr/bin/phonelog : the output of the error 
message fails because of a problem of python string and int concatenation.
It seems easy to fix, by replacing :
 print "foo" + call + "bar"
by
 print "foo %d bar" % call
(never done anything in python, so not sure)

But, by reading the code, it seems that phonelog will just output a 
message saying "hey dude, delete call from database and relaunch", so 
does anybody has or is able to modify phonelog to handle this kind of 
caller-without-id ?

Btw db still grows, so even if the app cannot be launched the FR still 
logs calls.

Xavier Cremaschi.
