Get the package from
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libssl0.9.8 - choose armel.
Unpack this package (easyest in mc), copy the libcrypto.so.0.9.8 in a private 
directory (You could copy it directly to /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi , but I 
prefer to have it separated from the official stuff, in that way I remember 
what I did later)
Make a symlink in  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi pointing to the 
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 in Your private directory.

Done.

I've seen the same behaviour using Radek's v55. I haven't seen the
screen turning back on as you described, though I cannot say that I
waited that long before pulling the battery and re-booting...

Hi Adrien,
for some reason i dont believe cross compilers. Last time i was using cross 
compiled qtmoko was like 2 years ago, so i cant tell from my own experience if 
cross compiled qtmoko actually works as whole (i just cross compiled only one 
app/library).

 Now, I've some new notes about this bug :

We were already trying to solvethis problem. IIRC it seems to be related with 
dbus crashing on resume which causes QtMoko to crash too. QtMoko is 
responsible for setting screen brightness after resume and because of the 
crash the display stays dark.

Can you try SSH to the device when the display is black and check if dbus and 
QtMoko are running?

Ah! So it's not SMS reception _per se_ that crashes dbus, but rather
the resume... that's a new insight for me!

That was directed to Adrien, but I'll try to do that as well...

navit in V55

2013-05-28 Thread Matth
Hi all,

I was looking into bringing navit to work.

1st - libcrypto
libcrypto.so.9.8 is included in libssl0.9.8, which was shipped with
squeeze, but not with wheezy. The current package is libssl1.0.0, that
means, you need to rebuild navit.
I solved this quick and dirty by storing
the libcrypto.so.0.9.8 out of the squeeze package into a private
directory and making a symlink to it in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi.
Navit now does not complain anymore. The function of the crypto-related
stuff will probably not work, but I by myself did not find something
where this would be necessary.

2nd - gpsd
navit complains at start:
navit:plugin_load:can't load
'/opt/qtmoko/lib/navit/vehicle/libvehicle_gpsd.so', Error
'libgps.so.19: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory' navit:vehicle_new:invalid source 'gpsd://localhost': unknown
type 'gpsd'
I solved this by changing the way navit expects the GPS data.
The line
vehicle name=Local GPS profilename=car enabled=yes active=1
source=gpsd://localhost gpsd_query=w+xj
I changed to
vehicle name=Local GPS profilename=car enabled=yes
active=1 source=pipe:/usr/bin/gpspipe -l -r
and it works fine.

Hi you can try run it from ssh to get more verbose message:

ssh root@192.168.0.202
. /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env
mqutim

It will be probably some library missing. Unfortunately i have not managed to

Oh, yeah I've forgot the dbus bug because I forgot that I've modified my

description isn't good to find the real bug.

I'll try again later without my resume script.

Debian has feature that automatically generates library dependencies. We

how can I determine the package version in the original qtmoko*.tar.gz

2013-05-26 Thread robin
hi,

I have the problem that I cannot connect to my wpa secured network after
I upgraded wpasupplicant. now I know the original version of the 
wpasupplicant so I downloaded it. by trying simply to downgrade I had the
following error:
wpasupplicant : Depends: libpcsclite1 (= 1.8.6) but 1.8.4-1 is installed
which is somewhat strange as the original qtmoko v55 tar.gz comes with
the wpasupplicant 1.0-3? so how was it able to be installed as there is
no 1.8.4-1 version of libpcsclite1 available in wheezy?
Arne pointed me in the right direction to get a higher version so I got
libpcsclite1_1.8.6-4_armel.deb and this installed fine with
wpasupplicant 1.0-3 but unfortunately I still cannot connect to my network
which I was able to do right after the initial installation of qtmoko v55.

So I am still a bit puzzled: 
a) how could the wpasupplicant (1.0-3) be installed originally without the
   libpcsclite1 = 1.8.6 being available in wheezy
b) why is the standard downgrade not working

Is there a way to see what package version libpcslite1 had by browsing the 
qtmoko v55 tar.gz?

Giving GTA02 with hardware issues

2013-05-25 Thread Mossroy
Hi all,

I'm giving my GTA02 (A7).
I think it might be used to convert to a GTA04, or maybe for some other use.
The phone has several years of daily use (bought in July 2009), but is
still in good shape. Except for the back cover that removes itself a bit
too easily. I can send photos if necessary.

In any case, it has some hardware issues since a few months : when
running on battery, it switches off after a few seconds or minutes, even
if the battery is fully charged. When plugged through USB, it seems to
work fine (on QtMoko). The screen is ok (no dead pixel, very few scratches)

I'm just asking to give it a second life in a useful way, and to pay for
shipping (from France).
I'm hoping it might help this community in some way.

qtmoko wifi wpa problem after upgrade wpasupplicant 1.0-3 to 1.0-3+b1

2013-05-25 Thread robin
Hi,

I pretty much went one by one through the packages given after a 
apt-get dist-upgrade (on qtmoko v55). I knew from my other freerunner that
the wifi breaks at some point (WPA TKIP). Now I have identified the
problem with the upgrade from wpasupplicant

Preparing to replace wpasupplicant 1.0-3 (using
.../wpasupplicant_1.0-3+b1_armel.deb)


I have searched on the debian page but there is only the +b1 package for
armel. maybe someone can help me to get hold of a wpasupplicant 1.0-3 deb
package so I could downgrade. the old one from squeeze has too many 
dependency issues.

nope, you most likely don't.
the idea of

http://snapshot.debian.org/

is to a) provide older packages and b) allow you to use it in apt.

check the page out, it starts witha description of how to use it in apt  
and you can search for specific packages as well. in your case i guess you  
won't really need more than a handful old packages

I suspect your battery cell is dead. You could disassemble the gta02-smartbat

they will raise 232k$ in 26 days...



You may be right about that.  But with an Indiegogo Flexible Funding 
campaign like this one, they collect the pledged funds even if they 
don't hit their stated goal.  So they've already got enough for over a 
hundred WikiReaders.


Sometimes these things accelerate a lot.  We'll see.

[ADMIN] imap.openmoko.org move

2013-05-23 Thread Harald Welte
Dear all,

I will be moving/migrating imap.openmoko.org during the next hours,
so anyone still using openmoko.org for their personal mail: Please be
patient until it is back up and running.

In case DNS doesn't catch up quickly enough, the new IP address will be
144.76.72.4.  I will also install port forwarding for imaps port 993.

The main MTA for openmoko.org, including the list server hosting this
mailing list will still remain as-is.

Regards,
Harald

the migration has been completed from my point of view.
imap.openmoko.org is reachable under the new IP address 144.76.72.4
(port 993, imaps).

Temporarily, thre is also a port forward from the old IP address to the
new IP address.  Certificates did not change during the migration.  No

[WikiReader] Giving, and last chance to get?

2013-05-23 Thread Doug Jones

I just got an email from Sean recommending this:

http://igg.me/at/wikireaders4kids/x/3095893

It's a non-profit campaign to give WikiReaders to thousands of kids. 
Sean is supporting the project, and is helping the organizers to get the 
best possible purchase price.


I am signing up too.  Very laudable goals.

But reading between the lines, this looks like it may represent the 
end-of-life for this excellent OpenMoko device.  If the hardware 
manufacturer has 10,000 units in overstock, of a product that was 
released years ago, then they may not be interested in ever making any 
more of these.  And if the wikireaders4kids campaign succeeds, all 
existing stock may vanish from the marketplace.


So this may be your last opportunity to buy a WikiReader (although I 
expect used ones may be available for a long time).  You can get them by 
pledging to that campaign, or for $14.99 on Amazon, or other places as 
mentioned at the bottom of this page:


http://www.thewikireader.com/

I also see that new content has recently become available for the 
WikiReader:


http://thewikireader.com/languagepacks.php

I see that the codebase is still being actively updated:

https://github.com/wikireader/wikireader

I think it would be a shame if this beautiful machine really does go out 
of manufacture, never to be updated again.  Wouldn't it be great if this 
design could be released as open hardware...

2013-05-23 Thread Doug Jones
@Joseph Armbruster, you should have changed the subject line to 
something more appropriate.  (I just did that.)


The [WikiReader] tag indicated that the thread relates to the 
WikiReader, a different Openmoko product, not the open source smart 
phone most people talk about here.  Some people will see that tag in the 
subject line and ignore your message.


You might also want to post your message in another list,

I don't remember the solution, but there was already a discussion about
that here :

IIRC, udevd isn't relevant for GTA02 (but needed for GTA04) and so it

I'm still highly skeptical and don't believe we will see a Jolla phone

QtMoko dev : smooth scrollbar

2013-05-16 Thread Adrien Dorsaz
Hello!

I've just found the qtmoko/doc/html/index.html file and I've seen that
the really good scrollbar used in the mail application, application
list, ... is the QSmoothList.

As I found this scrollbar good, I want to know if you think that it's
possible to generalize this scrollbar for other widgets like
QScrollArea. Indeed I like the Arora web browser, but the scroll bar is
really not adapted to finger scroll.

I've made some tests and I've seen that's the relevant code is inside
the event management. However, I've never made directly new qt widget so
maybe it's impossible.

Have you some hint ?

Thanks,
Adrien

old input methods on qtmoko 55

2013-05-15 Thread urodelo

Hello
I've installed qtmoko v55 some days ago. Later I've tried to get back the  
old input methods as suggested in an old thread, by putting those .so  
files in /opt/qtmoko/plugins/inputmethods. The result is a freeze of  
qtmoko at boot, after getting the clock image on display. it stops there.


Now i've deleted the .so files and it works again. Probably the don't work  
on v55. Anybody can confirm this? Workarounds?

tnx

Re: fairphone??

2013-05-15 Thread Troy Benjegerdes
Well, first you start with an existing phone design, where the 
production line is all tooled up, and you start with making
sure the tantalum in the capacitors is only from conflict-free
regions. That probably adds $2 per phone, and a whole lot of
arm-twisting with suppliers (which is the really expensive part)

Just an interim status update:

The following services have been moved to the new machine now:
 * www.openmoko.org (http)
 * wiki.openmoko.org (http)
 * downloads.openmoko.org (http, ftp, rsync)
 * 3rdparty.downloads.openmoko.org (http)
 * svn.openmoko.org (http)
 * svnweb.openmoko.org (http)
 * git.openmoko.org (ssh, git, http)
 * admin-trac.openmoko.org (http)
 * webdesign.openmoko.org (http, was already defunct)

I'm currently working on docs.openmoko.org. Once that is done, I'll
probably leave everything for some time as-is waiting for fall-out.

Later (next week or the week after) I'll continue with the remaining
parts, which will most likely be the more difficult ones:

* people.openmoko.org (ssh, http)
* imap.openmoko.org (imap)
* mail.openmoko.org (smtp)
* lists.openmoko.org (mailman)

But there will definitely be a heads-up before that happens.

GTA01 and GTA02 (and the planned GTA03) were Openmoko devices.

GTA04 was not and is not supported by Openmoko (except the openness which we
really appreciate) and OpenPhoenux is also an independent initiative. Yes, GT04 
can
of course be discussed here, but its official lists are others.

There are also Letux 7004 (tablet) and others which need a common home with 
GTA04
and I don't think they have much in common with GTA01 and GTA02 (except being
ARM based and SHR / QtMoko capable).

There was also some cross-posting in the past because GTA01GTA02 owners
may also be interested about newer developments by the OpenPhoenux project.
And, there are also some connections. But I also received complaints about this
duplication.

So it is impossible to serve everybody equally well :)

[ANNOUNCE] openmoko.org server move

2013-05-13 Thread Harald Welte
Dear all,

during the next weeks I'm going to move *.openmoko.org to a new much
simplified infrastructure on one physical server, rather than a dozen of
virtual machines over three physical machines.  As part of that, there
will be occasional outages, without any additional announcements.  The
IP addresses for all of openmoko.org services will also change as part
of that process.

I will start step-by-step with
web/wiki/dcs/svn/trac/git/people/bugzilla, while e-mail and mailing
lists will be running on the old machines until the very last step.  So
this (and other) mailing lists are going to work.  I'll send another
announcement before touching anything e-mail related.

Once the move to the new server is completed, I will finalyl be able to
do the long overdue step and accept other volunteers from the community
for system administration.

Thanks to Sean Moss-Pultz for paying for the server hosting until today
out of his personal pocket.

Harald

I'd like to add my thanks to Harald, Sean, and the rest of the people
responsible for the wealth of information provided on the wiki, mailing
lists, irc, etc. You made my Neo FR a very fun device to own and use.
It doesn't get the same amount of use as it did a few years ago but it's
still something I won't ever part with; like my 486DX2 I simply can't
bear the thought of not having it around to play with.

Before you condemn me for such a disparate example just remember that
if it wasn't for lower level access to hardware back in the emergent
and heady days of 'PC' hardware we'd be a lot worse off on the whole.
OpenMoko and OpenPhoenux are prime examples of the spirit behind
innovation even if some of it is constrained by NDAs at least the
effort will always be there.

Hello.,

i want to say thank you, too.  It was a great time with my Freerunner.  The
first steps with a Smartphone.  Openmoko is a great Project and i hope we
get it continue with Openphoenux

Openmoko was before his time and set new aspects to open source and open
hardware.

Thank you Sean,  Harald and all related i not named here.

Hi,

Just a heads-up for the next pure-wheezy version:
Upgrading gpsd from 2.95 (squeeze, and installed in v55) to 3.6 (wheezy)  
results in gpsd no longer recognizing the GPS chip.

Not sure if this is an error on my side but:
I have installed v55 from the linked source. While playing around with  
additional packages, I had to uninstall and reinstall gpsd.

At this point, apt chose the wheezy package for gpsd (3.6).
After the upgrade, QtPedometer, qtgps don't get any data. NeronGPS even

Downgrading back to gpsd 2.95 fixes the problem.

 It is not yet in the Debian repositories but I wanted to give it a shot,

 Unfortunately it fails at some point with some errors related to the

I think glamo is the best option - it works for me on fresh v55 wheezy

Hi all,
today I would like to ask you to help to grow the OpenPhoenux Independent
Mobile Tool Community.


Why do we need to grow the community?

We need many more active members contributing in all aspects of such a
project. We need developers, maintainers, testers, people discussing new
ideas, writing blogs, writing comments, going to fairs, making  
presentations,
running servers, teaching and convincing others that we are doing  
something

useful.

And we need more people interested in our software and hardware or we
will remain a side note of history.

Finally we can't get new members by waiting for them to come by chance.


What is this community about?

There has been a long discussion recently about next generation  
OpenPhoenux
devices and I got a lot of valuable inputs indicating that we even need  
a broader
view, so that I now feel that I am able to write down what this  
community is about.


And very important: what makes it different from other human activities!

This is important because any new prospective community member will ask
you and I hope that my proposals are the right answers to their questions
and make them join our community.

Most of us have origins in the OpenMoko community. OpenMoko did appear
in Nov 2006 as the attempt to provide the first really open Linux  
portable
computer with telephony functions. At that time this idea was very new -  
it was
announced 2 months before the iPhone 1 - and did catch a lot of  
attention.


In the meantime the world has changed a lot. iPhone comes with an  
Appstore

which has revolutionized the way independent software developers work.

Google has established Android and the whole smartphone industry has got
to speed to provide cheap (and some crap) devices with Android. Facebook
has appeared and also tries to get their-selves onto the Home screen of
smartphones. Smartphones have developed into tablets and phablets.

Combined with the millions of Apps, that are mini-browsers for specific
tasks, this is more or less the opposite what the personal computer  
idea

combined with a world wide web of connected computers was. In that
model everyone did have control over the data that was published.

This means that neither the device hardware nor the software and the
services provided by the network are the most important. I.e. we must see
all three (HW, SW, Services) as parts of a complete OpenPhoenux system.

If we look at what the big players are doing, it can be summarised as:
they fight to capture the user. They want to bring back the mainframe
concept (logically centralised services + dumb terminals) and use that
to provide walled (zoological?) gardens where the user does no longer
have any ownership of the data. They can even find out things about us
we don't know ourselves (at least we are not aware of).

So everything is about incapacitating the users like the Borg does.  
Apparently
half of the world population is happily accepting this, because the  
devices

are cheap, the software is glamourously polished. And the services are
apparently useful. And because the neighbour also has it. Like a mouse in

this is indeed well said, but also points out how feeble mankind is ...
the problem I see is even if you can convince someone that this is the
only strategy to follow, they won't be able to buy a device at a price
they are willing to accept (even when they are told that production in 
small numbers is the cause of this). my guess is that for phone to be a
success it would at least need the standard basic features such as pinch
zooming, easy wifi connection, and a good browser.
writing a text message currently needs three click to get you to the
input screen and another six clicks until you can actually send it after
you have entered your content. 
I am using the freerunner since 2008 and am still convinced with the gta04
the community has come a great step forward, but the rest of the electronic
world is developing so fast that it seems almost impossible to keep up
(especially with the high costs due to the small demand). personally I 
think only fundraiser, maybe with a big partner, would work to get it 
down to a price where the every day user would be willing to switch and
maybe qtmoko/shr could somehow bundle up with the plasma active team to
have nice and shiny features at hand which make the phone stick out.

nevertheless many thanks for bringing this project so far!
it certainly already has one of the best communities (eg rhn organized a
3g stick for me in Poland without even knowing me more than from a couple
of posts on the mailinglist. who else can report such a thing from his/her

the aspect ratio is standard 320x240 and I installed the glamo version
of mplayer when being asked for the first time.

in case I would need the other mplayer version, how could I revert?

best regards

rboin

what actually works:

ssh -X root@192.168.0.202
mplayer movie.mvk

this results in the movie being played on the freerunner screen. 
Apparently also other sizes and aspect ratios than 320x240 work fine.

any help appreciated to get this working with a native qtmoko app.

Help to grow The Independent Mobile Tool Community!

2013-05-08 Thread Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller
Hi all,
today I would like to ask you to help to grow the OpenPhoenux Independent
Mobile Tool Community.


Why do we need to grow the community?

We need many more active members contributing in all aspects of such a
project. We need developers, maintainers, testers, people discussing new
ideas, writing blogs, writing comments, going to fairs, making presentations,
running servers, teaching and convincing others that we are doing something
useful.

And we need more people interested in our software and hardware or we
will remain a side note of history.

Finally we can't get new members by waiting for them to come by chance.


What is this community about?

There has been a long discussion recently about next generation OpenPhoenux
devices and I got a lot of valuable inputs indicating that we even need a 
broader
view, so that I now feel that I am able to write down what this community is 
about.

And very important: what makes it different from other human activities!

This is important because any new prospective community member will ask
you and I hope that my proposals are the right answers to their questions
and make them join our community.

Most of us have origins in the OpenMoko community. OpenMoko did appear
in Nov 2006 as the attempt to provide the first really open Linux portable
computer with telephony functions. At that time this idea was very new - it was
announced 2 months before the iPhone 1 - and did catch a lot of attention.

In the meantime the world has changed a lot. iPhone comes with an Appstore
which has revolutionized the way independent software developers work.

Google has established Android and the whole smartphone industry has got
to speed to provide cheap (and some crap) devices with Android. Facebook
has appeared and also tries to get their-selves onto the Home screen of
smartphones. Smartphones have developed into tablets and phablets.

Combined with the millions of Apps, that are mini-browsers for specific
tasks, this is more or less the opposite what the personal computer idea
combined with a world wide web of connected computers was. In that
model everyone did have control over the data that was published.

This means that neither the device hardware nor the software and the
services provided by the network are the most important. I.e. we must see
all three (HW, SW, Services) as parts of a complete OpenPhoenux system.

If we look at what the big players are doing, it can be summarised as:
they fight to capture the user. They want to bring back the mainframe
concept (logically centralised services + dumb terminals) and use that
to provide walled (zoological?) gardens where the user does no longer
have any ownership of the data. They can even find out things about us
we don't know ourselves (at least we are not aware of).

So everything is about incapacitating the users like the Borg does. Apparently
half of the world population is happily accepting this, because the devices
are cheap, the software is glamourously polished. And the services are
apparently useful. And because the neighbour also has it. Like a mouse in
an experiment.

And we should not forget why devices are so cheap for us. On one hand they
are made in biggest numbers. But their production is not always based on fair
labour conditions. Sometimes they are subsidized to get more users into the
trap. Like free cheese for the mouse...

Fortunately, not everyone is accepting to be controlled by a handful of big
players, that are pumped up with stock exchange money to a level more
valuable than some smaller states. They want to remain individuals and don't
want to become part of a big machinery with the sole purpose of making the
shareholders happy.

And are willing to accept that a community developed device or software
can be as ultimatively polished and devices may be more expensive to
produce.

This is IMHO the dream of the OpenPhoenux community and everyone
sharing this view is welcome!

Fortunately we have almost all components in our hands to be really
independent of such big players:

* Software/GUI: SHR and QtMoko and Replicant
* Electronics: GTA01, GT02, GTA04, GTA0x (if enough demand)
* Mechanics: 3D printing, wood, aluminium
* Services: www.openphoenux.org could host many additional services
  (e.g. Diaspora, friendica) or support ideas like limesco


What OpenPhoenux stands for:
* participation by everyone
* extensible hard- and software - DIY
* allows to inspect what the system is doing (as far as achievable)
* can be repaired using standard parts (as good as possible)
* long-term support (e.g. software upgrades for an 2007 Neo 1973)
* no planned obsolescence through open hard- and software
* no central, intransparent, stock exchange listed instance that gives 
directions
* hardware development and production near to users (Europe) under fair labour 
conditions
* independent from the modern mainframe and back to the networked, 
decentralized web
* everybody plays client and server roles and keeps

...so sad... and so true. This is well thought text - will be great
help in discussions. Especially for me - I often need to defend our
opinion when discussing with my friends.
Sadly I notice most of them do not care about their privacy and most of
your arguments will not convince them as long as they can have cheap
device with eye-candy looking software.

Well, we can't change and convince everybody immediately. It is a long term
process - and we are not the only ones who have to and will work on it.

But if we just convince 0,01% of world population, that alone would be 700 000
community members. Instead of a handful :)

That looks as a much better perspective, doesn't it?

BR,
Nikolaus

Yeah, I'm in the same situation, but I think this text explain very well
the big issue about privacy/low cost/...

I'll try to use the development of this text next time I'll have to
defend my big strange phone.

I want to stress that in my pyrotechnical school, the form factor has
the advantage to intrigue my mats and generally I can begin an
explanation about why I've a such device and when it was started.

Thanks,
Adrien

That is the point! We have to find best privacy/low cost ratio! That
could be openphonux winning strategy. And provided that most people in
any society is not wealthy or even poor, than I would say that low cost
is even more important than polished interface for most people.
