You need to run it from QX. However there is problem that FBReader tries to 
use QtMoko's embedded QT instead of system QT. To start it correctly you need 
to do something like this (e.g. from QX xterm):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
fbreader

Just in case it is a cause for confusion - are you aware that the
keyboard doesn't actually predict at all?  Rather, it performs fuzzy
matching of where you pressed against the possible letters around that
point.  (Whereas "predicting" would be something like offering me
"understand" when I had only pressed near the letters "unders".)  I
wrote about this a while back:

Hi Ed,

For some reason I thought the Antaris chip in the GTA02 didn't support
all of the AID message types but only AID-INI (which provides a basic
saved position and time but nothing else like almanac or ephemeris).
I think it has something to do with the facts that (a) the chip doesn't
send ACK messages in response to any AID-* messages, making it hard to
know if the messages you're sending are good, and (b) I've never managed
to get a Freerunner to send me a AID-DATA probe which is the message
that means "please send me any available aid data".

Why my Freerunners never send AID-DATA whereas the code you pointed
to clearly expects to receive it I have no idea. In any case, I decided
to try again. This time I just send it all the AID messages at
startup whether it asks for them or not. The results are good so far.

If the Freerunner has network connectivity within a few minutes of
startup, I subsequently get fresh AID data from the Internet and send
that too. The result is that the GPS gets two copies of the AID data,
one saved from the last shutdown and one fresh from the Internet. It
doesn't seem to mind.

Thanks for motivating me to try this A-GPS stuff again.

RE: Potential buyer

2011-06-06 Thread Gay, John (GE Energy Services, Non-GE)
Depends on how you define open and phone.

Openmoko, depending on the distro you install and how much you play with
it varies from basically usable phone to extremely fun/frustrating
hardware that might make occasional calls or texts. I've used it as both
over the years I've used mine.

For a phone that 'just works' and meets some level of open, there are
various Android platforms and ports. HTC recently announced they are
unlocking the boot loader for all future HTC 'Droids. How 'open' you
consider these is a point of opinion, however for the most part they
make great smartphones.

I'm now running an HTC 'Droid Incredible as my regular phone and it does
most everything I want from a smartphone. But then I don't actually hack
much anymore.

Also, as mentioned, there IS some work on a next-gen Openmoko-based
device. Not much good without the Openmoko chassis, display etc, but
it'll be the next ubergeek hacking device for this community.

Cheers,

John Gay

Hi,
this guide (http://www.fragcom.de/server/fragcom_words) explains how to
add a german dictionary to qtmoko. You need to adjust paths to the paths
used by qtmoko, but under qtmoko ~v26 I got it to work an noticed
predictive effects :-). I haven't tried for recent versions of qtmoko.

Steps 6&7 for non-germans: replace en_US by de_DE in the mentioned file
twice, and reboot freerunner.

It also mentions the .dawg file is from a debian package called
"wngerman", maybe something similar exists for your languages.

Soon the GTA04 will be out, while it's just a board you still will need
to acquire some chassis for it but it's certainly cooler because it

And no, there is no other opensource phone out there then the OpenMoko
at least not THAT opensource that you can also review the schematics.

Ok :/

We just need to find a way to make prediction work so ! On SHR you only
had to install a dictionary of words somewhere, it should be the same here.

It seems ( http://qtmoko.org/wiki/FAQ ) we can add "unpredictive=0" in
/opt/qtmoko/etc/default/Trolltech/PredictiveKeyboard.conf
and it seems there is an English dictionary in
/opt/qtmoko/etc/dict
(.dawg files wtf?)

But currently I am still unable to use prediction :/

I should have probably done the Qt port based on fuse, mainly because spectemu 
does not support 128k spectrum variants. But i just scanned debian repository 
and saw spectemu first... Maybe it would be quite easy to make it based on fuse 
(libspectemu) now.

Is Spectemu btw developed somewhere still? At least the places I could

on radek's Qspectemu page is 404).

It seems that Fuse-emulator (http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/) is

that there is at least one fully developed open source emulator for

were some pretty good emulators for eg. Windows, but of course they're
all dead end without the sources.
