Re: QtMoko v22
la. den 15. 05. 2010 klokka 00.28 (+0200) skreiv Torfinn Ingolfsen: Hi, The new version appears to work fine here (just a quick test so far). BTW, my Ubuntu laptop (Xubuntu 9.10) exhibits a strange symptom: each time I connect my FR, the network interface name increases: eg. it started out with 'eth9' (what happened with usb0?), the next time I connected the FR the interface was 'eth10', then 'eth11', 'eth12' and so on. What gives? This is happening to me too.

eyepiece/qtmoko with PDF support
Hi, I compiled eyepiece viewer with PDF support. It works fine on my NEO (qtmoko v22), pdf loading speed is very good. There are some (original) bugs and limitations on the viewer, but basic functions are working fine. Link to the test version is in the http://bugs.qtmoko.org/view.php?id=77 ticket, please tell me if it work or not for you. P.S. Its recommended to use with swap enabled, libdjvu may eat a lot of memory. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: qi-bootmenu-0.1 for GTA02
Hi Torfinn with the SD card inserted, I see no bootmenu - it just boots /dev/mmcblk0p2 every time. What's wrong? You forgot to tell Qi not to boot from the SD partitions. See: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi#Files According to the readme[1] on the qi-bootmenu site, it is not necessary to mark the SD paryitions as not bootable: This is the case if you have installed Marc's patched Qi. The qi-bootmenu results in a two step boot process: - firstly qi-bootloader boots and executes the linux kernel in NAND. This includes an initramfs with the qi-bootmenu userspace - That userspace then scans SD card partitions, presents the menu and proceeds to boot whichever you select. So to get the bootmenu working properly you need to make sure Qi boots the kernel/initramfs in NAND, and not your SD card partitions. You can make sure qi boots from NAND by either: - installing marcs patched qi which ignores the SD card completely or - marking your partitions as noboot as Al suggested. If your freerunner is booting from SD card by default, and only displaying the bootmenu when pressing AUX while booting, then you're still using standard qi rather than the patched version. hth.

[qtmoko] using qtmoko as an USB Mass storage device
Hello all, I want to use my freerunner as a USB Mass storage device. I tried to follow the instructions on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Using_the_Neo_as_an_USB_Mass_storage_device. But it seems there are no g_ether and g_file_storage modules present on QtMoko v22. Maybe they are built inside the kernel? I also found in the Devtools menu two scripts: 'USB device mode' and 'USB host mode', but i dont know what their exact use is. Anyway if somebody can point me to the right direction, please do! thanks, Toams ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I know you can use the qtmoko (more accurately qtopia) dialer and tools in debian, at least the versions that were ported to X though I don't know of debs so you'll have to compile- but for freerunner purposes, qtmoko should be considered it's own distro (it runs in a framebuffer and X apps don't integrate well, though they are usable). The best way to do this would be to use the Qi bootloader. Have one partition with the latest qtmoko, another partition with plain debian and install the shr packages (already in repo I believe). Use the qi-bootmenu if you don't have the reflexes to hit AUX at the right time :) cheers peace ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
