Symlink works perfectly for /usr. I had some problems with simplinking
some parts of some root dirs, but big ones working just fine. I've ended
this practice because qtmoko had no smooth upgrade path and because of
expirements with glamo sd. Also i think it's probably better to have
single tree in fstab, not a graph of mounts until it's impossible to
avoid it like in case of mounting parts of / fs into chroot directory
(main reason bind mount appeared i think). Also you free to create,
rename or remove symlink, while bind-mount is sligly more difficult to
manage.

Re: navit in QTmoko: Map don't follow actual position

2011-08-06 Thread Hrabosh
Hallo Frank,

is your GPSD daemon running? Is it configured properly?

If my Navit works (i.e. has current position), I can see actual
coordinates in "Action" menu below the car icon (in the middle of left
row).

My navit.xml is attached.

BTW ... I have nothing on the screen but the map and + - icons. If you
managed to get ETA time, trip length, next turn, etc. information on the
screen, could you please share your navit.xml?

Thanks, Hrabosh

Re: [QtMoko] How do you manage your free space ?

2011-08-06 Thread Hrabosh

My whole system runs from the card.

 I don't use internal memory for nothing but some dated QtMoko for the
case of the card (or system on the card) failure. (I use my FR as daily
and the only phone).
