 New Debian pkg-fso kernel available:

 And another one thanks to having inspirational time yesterday evening.

Thanks.  I am using this series of kernels, so I appreciate your work on them.

 - X.Org eats all the CPU unless you disable AutoAddDevices or remove
 extra /dev/input files

Even after removing the /dev/input files as you suggested (in
/etc/rc.local), my observation is that XOrg still eats all CPU after
an initial boot-up, but that if I then do /etc/init.d/nodm stop and
/etc/init.d/nodm start, it returns to using a normal (small) amount
of CPU.  Is that as you would expect?

 - Sys paths have changed, so you most probably want to add om gsm
 power 1 to /etc/rc.local (and install newest omhacks from pkg-fso if
 you already haven't)

I noticed that wifi is powered on after boot-up.  Is that expected?
Note that I am not currently running frameworkd or other FSO daemons -
so perhaps this is normal, and I haven't seen it before because the
FSO daemons turn wifi OFF when they start up.  (Alternatively, could
wicd be powering on the wifi?)

  Neil

[debian] experimentation with ofono, telepathy-ring and empathy...

2010-12-16 Thread Neil Jerram
I thought this worth mentioning just in case others are doing similar
things: I'm experimenting with the stack mentioned in the Subject, on
my debian install, to see what kind of UI it gives, and how stable the
telephony is.

Current status is that
- with a patch to enable udev autodetection of the calypso modem [1],
ofonod starts up and detects the modem
- the empathy UI's debug log (and also the Previous Conversations
area) shows SMSs being successfully sent and received, but there's no
indication of this in the main UI
- I tried an incoming call, and again the debug log shows some trace
of this, but there was nothing in the UI.

Re: FOSDEM 2011 Visitor's Guide

Is it possible that just 3 Free Runner's so far have plans to attend FOSDEM?

On FOSDEM 2010 I did count at least 70 people crowding
the (guest-) devroom.

So what are your plans?

Nikolaus



I'd love to go, but as a 4 month old father who'll be at home for 
paternity leave by the time FOSDEM plays out, I would need to have very 
good (and virtually free) conditions guaranteed to even think of going

Otherwise, it's a no go for me.

[debian] howto: rebuilding sgt-puzzles for the FR

2010-12-16 Thread Neil Jerram
For people who like Simon Tatham's puzzle collection...

On my SHR-T, for a long time I've used Frode Austvik's sgt-puzzles
.ipk package.  Compared to the standard Debian package, this .ipk for
SHR is better because it has a couple of tweaks for stylus-based
devices like the FR.  (Specifically, it adds some extra buttons, and
makes clicking somewhere twice, in some puzzles, equivalent to a
right-click.)  I've wondered about this for a while, and yesterday
evening I finally realised that (a) the necessary code, i.e. Frode
Austvik's patches, is all already in the Debian source package; and
(b) it's quite easy to rebuild the package (on the FR) to enable it:

# apt-get build-dep sgt-puzzles
# apt-get source sgt-puzzles
# cd sgt-puzzles-8853
# vi puzzles.h

Comment out the #ifdef _WIN32_WCE and #endif around a group of
defines for Pocket PC devices, which are equally applicable to the
FR.

# debian/rules binary
# dpkg -i ../sgt-puzzles_8853-3_armel.deb

Now I can play Loopy as much in my Debian as in my SHR-T
