The SIM manager sorts the contacts accordingly to the slots number on your

Re: When is the next and more powerful openmoko releasing

2010-08-17 Thread omcomali . rhn
I might be the other person who likes the bezel. It's a little too close to the 
screen, but it prevents the screen from accidental scratches and misclicks. The 
resistive screen is quite soft, and I'd be afraid to put it face-down on uneven 
surfaces or put it in my pocket in fear that the screen changes shape 
permanently.
If it was a capacitative touchscreen, I would prefer no bezel.

To answer the original question: I think I wouldn't buy a phone without a 
physical keyboard again. My main phone use is messages, so tactile feedback 
makes me many times faster and less frustrated.

Cheers,
rhn

 It seems like the biggest problems on the GTA-02 were all with closed 
 modules (wifi, glamo, calypso).  It sounds like a UMTS module would have 
 to be closed, but if it were loosely coupled to the device (4 usb traces 
 and an antenna) I think we could work with it.
 
 Since my FR is getting better all the time (2.6.32 speedups have been 
 great, thanks) I can wait quite a while for a replacement.  I can't 
 imaging using a closed phone now.
 
 I may be the only person who likes the screen bezel on the freerunner.  
 I have taken my phone on canoeing and backpacking trips just wrapped in 
 a dry-bag and only cracked one screen (which is how I ended up with a 
 second phone).
 
 As for expansion ports, an internal usb hub and some solder pads would 
 probably meet my needs.  I would think the new device would need a 
 second usb controller anyways (one in host mode for UMTS and internal 
 expansion, one in gadget/host mode with an external connector).

  Assume, you could get a motherboard upgrade board that fits into the 
  Freerunner (or Neo1973) case. Based on the TI OMAP3 SoC (OMAP3530 or 
  DM3730) and UMTS.
 
  Let me ask two questions to everybody:
  * How long could you be willing to wait for it to really become 
  available?
  * How much would you think you could afford to pay for such a board?
 
 
   
  Is there a serious possibility of this?
 
 
  I wasn't open enough, intentionally :) Yes, there is a serious possibility.
 
  The Openmoko Beagle Hybrid Board is a first step for those who want to be 
  early participants of this new era.
 
  In addition, we (a small project team in Munich, Germany) have mostly 
  finished our homework (i.e. doing prototypes and experiments like the OM 
  Beagle Hybrid, doing PCB layout) to be sure that it *can* be done. Really 
  building such boards will still cost a significant amount of money (for 
  paying components, professional PCB manufacturing and SMD soldering) and 
  time (therefore: my question how long you would wait).
 
 
   
  I'm willing to wait a couple of years at least.  And the 500 Euro number 
  that
 
 
  It will definitively not take several years.
 
 
   
  people are throwing around seems OK.
 
 
  To finance the next phase, we are thinking about asking for donations or 
  to hold an auction for the first 5 or 10 prototype units. What would you 
  think of such an approach?
 
 
   
  Would this be re-using the case, display and touch screen and replacing
  everything else?
 
 
  Yes, that is the idea. More information (e.g. complete feature list) and 
  openness (as suggested by arne anka) is to come soon. Please watch out for 
  announcements in the next couple of weeks...

(summary of IRC discussion)

Cleared old contacts from Freerunner:
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do opimd-cli c delete $i; done

And imported with /etc/phoneuid.conf loglevel=DEBUG

Some contacts were truncated already when shown in SIM manager - and
also then imported with missing digits. Some had one, some even four
digits missing.

By looking at the logs I found out that if the name has ä, the number
is truncated...

- Thomas promised to have a look.

QtMoko v25 - experimental with 2.6.34 kernel

2010-08-17 Thread Radek Polak
Hi,
i have released experimental qtmoko image with 2.6.34 kernel based on debian 
testing (squeeze). You can download tarbal from here [1]. There are no JFFS2 
images for this release. 

This version is not for daily use. I plan to release stable release short 
after. Here is my list of problems:

- too high current in suspend (~20mA). Your battery will discharge sooner.
- no vibrator
- no touchscreen filtering - you see jitter e.g. in scribble drawing program
- no bluetooth (qtmoko needs bluez4 support)

On the other hand here is list of what is good:

- devtmpfs  upstart make it boot faster (90s on slow class 2 SD card)
- more packages thanks to newer debian (e.g. mencoder)
- no WS when switching vga-qvga
- more drivers - i saw something like combined usb network+usb mass storage

If you want to build yourself:

- kernel with config is here [2]
- /etc/init.d/qpe.sh needs modifications to be upstart compatible
- /etc/init.d/qpe.sh must create device nodes that devtmpfs does not create:

mknod /dev/ttySAC0 c 204 64 -m 660
mknod /dev/ttySAC1 c 204 65 -m 660
mknod /dev/ttySAC2 c 204 66 -m 660

- disable udev and enable qpe.sh:

update-rc.d qpe.sh defaults
update-rc.d -f udev-mtab remove
update-rc.d -f udev remove

- /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script needs to be launched with bash (dash does 
not like the syntax for adding route)

- i need 3s rootdelay in /boot/append-GTA02

I hope some kernel developer will be successful with high power consumtion bug 
[3]. I have spent quite some time to find out where is problem, but without 
success. I think it's not problem of modem power management, because i have 
ported modem power management from 2.6.29 kernel and nothing changed. I have 
also tried to disable as many drivers as possible. I have tried booting with 
qi and with uboot from both SD card and NAND, but nothing helped.

If this bug is not fixed, it IMO makes no sence to switch to 2.6.32 or higher 
kernels.

Happy playing with this experimental release, thanks for feedback and stay 
tuned for next stable release with bluetooth headset support, AGPS, youtube 
videos and other cool features.

Regards

Radek

[SHR] X forwarding: export DISPLAY?

2010-08-17 Thread W. B. Kranendonk
Hi list and readers,

I am trying to figure out how to export my display when using ssh -Y (or X). 

The only hint I found was a thread (exactly) a year ago (let's celebrate and 
make 15-8 ssh -Y-day ;-) ): X forwarding doesn't work (*)

I have been fiddling with it time and again over the past months, but I still 
can not get my applications to export to my laptop.

Some things I tried:
- take the whole export DISPLAY in /etc/profile away
- connect only to start the application 
- old fashioned xhost + and export DISPLAY on Freerunner

At best (or worst) the application opens on the Freerunner. Then there are 
various degrees of stranding on the way to the display of my laptop

The output is quite clear:
(vala-terminal:2759): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 

There is no display set. This is with the default /etc/profile (DISPLAY=:0). I 
tried setting it manually to point to the freerunner, to no avail. Xauth does 
not list any displays, while there is a display on my laptop (how handy..)


Any suggestion?

Boudewijn


(*) http://www.mail-archive.com/community@lists.openmoko.org/msg51198.html

PS: after sending the mail and not receiving it in my mailbox, I delved into 
that first. It turns out I have been subscribed to the devel-list for years, 
while I thought I was reading the community list. Also explains why I was 
surprised at the subjects in the community-archives that escaped my attention 
by mail. So much for detective skills...

One thing would be more information in your problem report. I think you are
trying to start an X client on your FR and have the output come to your
desktop, but that isn't 100% clear. Always describe what you are trying to
do, in simple terms (eg: I'd like to start xmines on my FR and have it show
up on my Desktop).

Next, I'm unclear how you are connecting between your FR and your Desktop.
USB cable? Ethernet? Intervening device(s)? Wifi? Mind meld? :)

You reference DISPLAY, and even give us a pretty good error message. But
without some of the above info, it'll be harder to know what is going on.

It would also help if you let us know your approx. skill level. (eg: While
I'm a Ubuntu GUI guru, I'm a newbie at getting X working between different
machines).

Now, I have the older 1973 (pre-FR), and it's been a while since I hacked on
it. But if memory serves, I was able to get X working with the right
settings.

I'll assume a few things -- that you are directly connecting to the FR (no
other devices in the middle), and that there is no encryption. In that case,
you probably
need 2 things. First, is the correct DISPLAY setting. This is usually
DISPLAY=hostname:0.0, where hostname = desktop's hostname. Second, you
have
to either xhost or xauth your FR, something like xhost
+freerunnerhostname. Now, I don't know if there is some FR specific issue
or distro problem that
might be affecting the FR/FR OS, so your mileage may vary. But, feel free to
try out the above suggestion and let us know if it works, and if it doesn't,
please
answer some of the other questions above.

Hope this helps,
Gerald

Re: [SHR] X forwarding: export DISPLAY?

2010-08-17 Thread Xavier Cremaschi
Basically, you need

a computer with :
- a working X server (mainly Xorg)
- a working ssh client with -X option (mainly openssh-client)
(Note for working X server on cygwin : be sure to launch xterm, not the
basic tty)

a Freerunner with :
- a working X client (the app you want to launch, tangogps for example)
- a working ssh server with X11Forwarding yes in its config (for
openssh-server it's in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, be sure to restart ssh
server after any modification to this file)


Then give us any error you can see while doing your ssh -X.

On the freerunner, and after a ssh -X, $DISPLAY should NOT be :
localhost:0
because it's the X server of the freerunner, but it should be something
like :
localhost:10.0
which is where ssh server listen to transmit your display data to ssh
client.

Re: [SHR] X forwarding: export DISPLAY?

2010-08-17 Thread Xavier Cremaschi
To continue :

if you want to do it 'old school' without ssh -X doing the job for you,
you need to authorize your X server to accept distant X clients

To authorize X server of here to display application running on
faraway, you need to do (here$ is the prompt) :
here$  xhost +faraway

Then you need to log yourself on faraway (ssh without -X nor -Y, rsh,
telnet, xterm on freerunner...) and launch your application with a good
$DISPLAY
faraway$  DISPLAY=here:0 my_application

If it does not work :
- either faraway doesn't allow the X client to go out (firewall ?)
- or here has its X server running with -nolisten tcp and therefore
refuses any connection

If you have -nolisten tcp (check with ps), you can remove it but it
depends on how you launch your X server :
- if you use startx, check your /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc (or ~/.xserverrc)
- if you use gdm, launch gdmconfig and check security options)
- if you use kdm or xdm, I don't know :S






If you want to control the freerunner desktop from your PC, you could
use vnc.
On the freerunner you start x11vnc :
faraway$   x11vnc
but NOT from a ssh -X, you don't want any redirection here.

On your pc you start your vnc client :
here$vncviewer faraway:0



Xavier.
PS : use ip addresses instead of names like here and faraway

Without actually using different connections as a way of troubleshoot, I have

USB with two laptops each). Each time it was an encrypted connection (using ssh 
-Y or ssh -X from the laptop to the phone).

 You reference DISPLAY, and even give us a pretty good error message.

I see that now.

I think it turned out (see Dirk's mail) that the default settings in SHR are no

 Hope this helps,
It does, in some sort of meta-manner. If you can spare the time, would the 
updated problem definition provide enough information or should it contain 
something else? My current problem is solved, but it might help me describe 
another in the future.

Re: [SHR] X forwarding: export DISPLAY?

... and this one should have some answer, before sending it.. (do I already 
have a monopoly on this list? Sorry for spamming)

  a computer with :
  - a working X server (mainly Xorg)
  - a working ssh client with -X option (mainly
  openssh-client)
OK 

  a Freerunner with :
  - a working X client (the app you want to launch,
 tangogps
  for example)
  - a working ssh server with X11Forwarding yes in
That was the culprit!

  On the freerunner, and after a ssh -X, $DISPLAY should
 NOT
  be :
      localhost:0
It is 10.0 now :-)


Thankyou and the others for the quick replies!

 If you want to control the freerunner desktop from your PC,
 you could
 use vnc.
 On the freerunner you start x11vnc :
     faraway$   x11vnc
 but NOT from a ssh -X, you don't want any redirection
 here.
I thought about that, but I am not sure how to use VNC at a higher resolution 
than the host. My goal was to use the higher resolution of the laptop screen, 
so VNC was not an option. Still, thanks for the suggestion :-)

Hi,

 Without actually using different connections as a way of troubleshoot, I
 have in the meantime tried it over GPRS, Wifi and a direct USB connection
 (Wifi and USB with two laptops each). Each time it was an encrypted
 connection (using ssh -Y or ssh -X from the laptop to the phone).


Just from my experience, I'd go from the easiest to the hardest to
troubleshoot, so: USB - wifi -GPRS. Get the easy one
to work, then you can be assured it's not a configuration or other issue
with the more difficult ones.

I think it turned out (see Dirk's mail) that the default settings in SHR are
 no X forwarding for sshd.


Glad to hear that! :)


  Hope this helps,
 It does, in some sort of meta-manner. If you can spare the time, would the
 updated problem definition provide enough information or should it contain
 something else? My current problem is solved, but it might help me describe
 another in the future.


I think the biggest helpful piece of info was that you were trying to use
ssh x-forwarding. Other things that would assist are version #'s of the
various software pieces (although they didn't play a factor in this case).

One thing, which you've already done, is to explain what the underlying
issue and solution was. This way, people who are looking through the
archives can see what worked for you.

Thanks,
Gerald

XDMCP has only to do with remote login, not display exporting.
99% of times you only need display export, so XDMCP is not needed
