Hello,

Do you test this 4g card in a freerunner ?

Is this card compatible 3g ?

Re: [QtMoko] Error compiling on wheezy

2012-11-08 Thread EdorFaus

Hi,

The following contains a good bit of guesswork and assumptions, so 
please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere.


There's also some bits which may seem obvious, but I don't know what you 
would find obvious and not - and besides, sometimes it's easy to miss 
things that are obvious in hindsight, so I figured it best to include as 
much as I could think of, even if you've already tried it.

If I understand you correctly, your setup has three major parts:

(A) the host PC (actual physical PC), running some form of Linux
(B) a VirtualBox virtual computer, running Debian Squeeze
(C) a chroot used to build QtMoko

with (C) being inside of (B), (B) running on (A), and (B) being intended 
solely for the purpose of building/running QtMoko, and nothing else.


(Btw, that's pretty much exactly how I would do it myself - I haven't, 
yet, but probably will (even if only to try to scratch a few itches), so 
I'm glad someone's working out the kinks. ;) )


Fairly complex setup, actually, so lots of places things can go wrong.



...but now I can't run it: what do you mean by

 * Now switch to first console (CTRL+ALT+F1) and run it:


I'm assuming that your (B) is a minimal installation, not running any 
graphical environment (aka X11 or X.org), just giving you a CLI console.


If so, the above bit should be ignored, as it would typically make your 
host PC (A) switch to its console.


However, if you *are* running a GUI in the virtual box, I think the 
easiest thing to do would be to turn it off and disable it, so it 
doesn't get in the way.


(I don't actually think this is where you have problems, though.)



If I do it under chroot I get:

qtmoko-chroot:/opt$ qpe
QScreenLinuxFb::connect: No such file or directory
Error opening framebuffer device /dev/fb0
LinuxFb: driver cannot connect
Aborted


> Indeed, I miss /dev/fb0. Where can i get it?

Hm. No framebuffer device...

My first thought would be to check if /dev is actually bind mounted 
properly, so that the out-of-chroot udev in (B) would take care of 
generating /dev/fb0 for both (B) and (C).


I see that the script used to enter the chroot tries to take care of 
that though, so it probably is (but it wouldn't hurt to check).


One way to check would be to see if /dev/fb0 exists on (B) even though 
it doesn't in (C).


Assuming that's not the problem, my next thought is to check the 
configuration of VirtualBox, checking that it is actually set up to 
include a graphics card that Linux can run a graphical framebuffer on.


If it is, I think the next thing to do is to check the dmesg of (B) (if 
the output of "dmesg" is too short, it can probably be found in 
/var/log/messages prefixed with "kernel:"), looking for anything to do 
with framebuffers, to see if that tells you why (B) doesn't have one.


If that doesn't give any clues either, well... then things are a bit 
more complex. Maybe the right driver wasn't enabled when (B)'s kernel 
was compiled, or something. Either way, probably harder to figure out 
than we'd like. :/ So I hope something in the above helps.




The same happens if I do it outside chroot (connecting with ssh -Y):


Just a tiny note: the -Y is probably not necessary, as it just deals 
with forwarding X11 connections - which are not in use here. It 
shouldn't hurt, either, though - and should certainly not cause the 
problem you're seeing.

-Frode

Hmm interesting - i thought every linux has /dev/fb0. So it really does not 
exist?

To me it looked that the semaphore was closed by the other process or thread. 
The logging and some other stuff was added there in Qt 4.8.

You can check the git log on qwslock.cpp.

I alsa had to rebuild it all for changes in Qt. I tried make and make install 
in build/qtopiacore/target but IIRC it didnt help.

There are 2 new files in the Arora patch that I think haven't yet been

QWSLock errors

2012-11-08 Thread Neil Jerram
With current QtMoko git I'm seeing a lot of QWSLock errors in my log,
e.g.:

root@neo:~# tail -f /var/log/messages 
Nov  8 08:01:05 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::down(): Invalid argument
Nov  8 08:01:05 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::down(): Invalid argument
Nov  8 08:01:05 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::up(): Invalid argument
Nov  8 08:01:05 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::down(): Invalid argument
Nov  8 08:01:05 neo last message repeated 3 times
Nov  8 08:01:05 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::up(): Invalid argument
Nov  8 08:01:35 neo last message repeated 4 times
Nov  8 08:01:35 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::down(): Invalid argument
Nov  8 08:01:36 neo Qtopia: QWSLock::up(): Invalid argument

Are you getting those too?  If so, perhaps this is something to
understand before making a new release.

I'm investigating by adding more logging to QWSLock::up() - I hope to be
able to say more this evening.

(For some reason a simple 'make', or even '../qtmoko/configure -device
gta04 && make', doesn't rebuild qwslock.c and the QtGui library.  So
I've kicked off a full rebuild.)

Neil
