Re: [possibly any] Your storage is full
ivvmm schrieb: Hello list. My friend's been having this problem for a long time(since I installed her SHR, before that it was FDOM). And I experience it myself. The message 'Your storage is full' is being displayed for me each time the distribution boots and nothing could be done with it. Cannot see _ANY_ sms in the messages app. There is _nothing_ displayed. My friend says she's been able to delete them by inserting the sim into her Motorola and deleting them by hand there. What's the problem here? What app works with the sim card? Does the gsm modem work with it so it is broken or is it just a modem? I *think* I had the same problem some time ago with shr testing. I was able to fix them by deleting all (!) messages on the SIM via SHR-Settings (the option for that is under phone IIRC). Not a nice fix, but it works. If you want to keep your messages, you could run the backup script somebody posted here some time ago to copy your messages into a file in advance.

Re: what hardware version do I REALLY have?
Doug Jones wrote: Aargh.. The SD/GPS issue was the one I really wanted to avoid. I waited for many months to order my Neo, just so I could avoid that. Guess I just need to start not believing anything I read on this list. ;) I've spent the last month trying out various distros and various SD cards, with varying amounts of agony. Does anyone know of a list somewhere of distros that have the software fix and are *known* to work well booted from SD cards 2GB, with GPS running? I can't give you a list, but I've been using SHR (first testing, now unstable) from a 4 gig SD card (using qi as the bootloader) for quite some time now. I also use gps a lot, and did not have any problems with that. Before that, I used various incarnations of the 2008.X line in the same fashion, also without problems getting a gps fix since the software fix was released.

Re: bicycling with OpenMoko

But the first question that rises here is how to mount the phone on your bike? The thread has grown up with several branches, so would answer self post. I would like to thank you all for the suggestions and plenty of links. But there seems to be one thing against putting OpenMoko on handlebars. The vibrations that come from a wheel could be(and it seems it will be) killing for the device to drive through the forest or say off-road. It seems to be much safer for a device to put it in jacket or coat. At least for me, the vibrations from a rought bike ride didn't harm the freerunner at all. Of course you should take care it can't fall down, but that's generally a good idea. ;) If you keep the freerunner in a pocket, the downside is that the quality of the gps readings goes down drastically (depends on the type of pocket, i.e. the thickness of the material between the freerunner and the outside world) if you don't use an external antenna. Just my experience, though... But with a good bike mount (I use the one Daniel Willmann sugessted earlier - the foam padding probably helps against vibrations, too) your freerunner should be safe. :) Regards, Konstantin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [FDOM] ePDFViewer
Hi there! Crossposted to Fdom-developement Giovanni wrote: Today I installed FDOM 20081023. When I open ePDFViewer, it asks for a password, saying that the documented is encrypted. I cannot open any of my documents, because of this problem. this is a bug I have been meaning to report for a while now. How to fix this? The issue arises because I think the launching dialog launches it with an %s argument or something which specifies the path of the file that should be loaded. because it apparently can't deal with no being able to find the file gracefully, it aassumes something is encrypted and asks for a password. Launching from the terminal epdfviewer works fine... fixing this *should* (in theory) be trivial, however I don't know, without looking exactly how to do this... Editing /usr/share/FDSubmenu/viewers/epdfview.desktop and changing epdfview %f to epdfview should do the trick. :) On a completely unrelated note - someone should change the way FDSubmenu calls applications, as the current implementation freezes fdsubmenu until the started process terminates - I think using subprocess.Popen should work, but I haven't really looked that closely at the source, yet.

Re: [OM2008] Documentation for .kbd-files?
AFAIK there's no docs about it, but it's quite easy... I suggest you starting editing the Default keyboard and as you can see there each key has a position (key x y) and the role of the key itself (normal, shift capslock). So for example a code like: key 5 0 10 10 normal q q shiftQ Q capslock 1 1 will put a key in the position (5,0) and that key will show a q in normal mode, a Q in shift mode and a 1 in capslock mode. Then while both using the normal and shift mode the char written will be checked with the dictionary, in the capslock mode the char will be directly prompted in the text field. In fact you've to use something like this: key $x-pos $y-pos 10 10 mode $char-to-be-shown-in-the-key $char-xcode-to-be-written mode $char-to-be-shown-in-the-key $char-to-be-checked-with-dict Btw I don't know what the 10 and 10 means (maybe the key size? But this seems strange since in the terminal keyboard they're set to 30 30) I've to ask this to Rasterman! I hope I've been enough clear... :P Thank you very much - now I can start working on a qwertz-keyboard with umlauts!

This phone is still something primarily to be used by hardcore geeks, and please show me the linux geek who doesn't use the keyboard here or there with some application that doesn't hook into the automatically-show-keyboard magic? I wish for this kind of question there would be an easy-to-be-configured polling mechanism that could be put up at some openmoko.org website. I think there are many of those issues where all kinds of people inside openmoko inc. could benefit from a very quick-to-read opinion of their user base without reading through tons of threads of discussions that get time-consuming and boring over time. Just my 2 cents, +1 Even if the core applications can (and should!) implement the show-me-the-keyboard mechanism, I don't think it would be trivial to implement it for other (ported) apps like, say, Battle for Wesnoth or Numpty Physics (yes, I do realize those are all games ;) ).

Re: GPS
Kevin Zuber schrieb: Hi, I did some tests yesterday and here are my experiences with Freerunner's GPS: First I put the Freerunner on a window sill in a penthouse, no high-rise around. I got a fix after ~20 minutes. Disappointing. Later on I walked along in a big city between a lot of high-rises. After 15 minutes, the neo found the first satellite, but nothing more, no fix, only a gps-time. After 30 minutes I activated the power management (first dim, than lock) so the neo could be sleeping again, I gave up. Very Disappointing. Hmm, my results so far: First run with external antenna on the roof: GPS time after about 15 Minutes, TTFF 1599 seconds. Still, the position tangogps showed me was about 1 km off from my real position, and kept changing (with 4 visible satellites). Trying again now, after restarting agpsui, TTFF is only 55 secs, and now I see 6 satellites. Weird...
