Re: [2008.12] Enlightenment doesn't want to run anymore

2009-02-25 Thread Flyin_bbb8

 My best guess would be that either your config is causing a problem
 (something along the lines of rm -r ~/.e may fix ... or maybe more
 xserver specific configs) or something from angstrom was pulled in and
 not removed or overwritten. If you are getting a segfault then the
 latter is probably more likely.


yea, already tried rm -r ~/.e didn't help, tried md5summing all those
enlightenment specific init and theme files and those enlightenment
binaries, all is like it was when newly installed, it should be some other
package i pulled from angstrom or something



 In the end, when playing with repositories outside the control of OM,
 you have to be prepared to reflash or delve deep to clean up the mess,
 if one occurs.


i guess i'll just flash a new image, thanks alot for your time Sarton.

here's the original mail  i installed were pythm , mplayer then i
uninstalled them, after a reboot the screen shows

starting atd daemon:atd.  last thing and nothing after, i tried running
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm start, and looked at log in /tmp/x.log

this is with illume as default_profile, i change that to ASU and i get the

second then back to the atd , now /tmp/x.log shows

where can i go from here!?

another thing worth mentioning is that couple of days ago the thing stopped

and no i only added angstrom repo to install mplayer then removed it , i

Re: Next community update

2008-11-15 Thread Flyin_bbb8


 Under 'Hardware' where you discuss the GSM update you state:

 The goal is to fix ticket 666 and introduce a new command AT+CSIM. Than
 means 3G. There will be a self-contained update image that can be copied to
 a uSD card, then boots from there, and has a simple GUI to kick off the
 upgrade.

 3G??? Where did that come from??  The hardware doesn't support EDGE, let
 alone 3G...

i think he meant for the 3G SIM cards to work...

this problem. i changed that echo 1   blah to gsm power_on in
qtopia89 in /etc/X11/XSession.. the results were not so random but
sometimes didn't make sense, couldn't come to an exact conclusion but it
seems like qtopia is behind all this. and a hundred other bugs is behind

 could you please prefix the subject with distribution used? thanks.
 i am not able to infer, what exactly you're doing:
 - disabling gsm via call to sysfs
 - calling apm -s manually
 ?

 or
 - disabling gsm via call to sysfs
 - pressing pwr/hitting a button/ whatever your distribution offers to
 suspend
 ?


yes calling apm -s gives device or resource busy and pressing pwr button
turns the screen off but not suspending, but u have ssh still active and
everything still on, only screen off,  so both ways disabling gsm via call
to sysfs is disabling us from suspend



 what i could think of is, that (either as script executed by apm or as
 part of your distribution's way to suspend) there are requests made to the
 gsm, to prepare suspend:
 - minimize rescanning
 - go to sleep state
 since gsm is powered of. these request do a) not return or b) not
 successfully
 case
 a) a timeout is probably to big -- decreasing might lead to b)
 b) the returncode != success in turn results in an uncatched exception
 that prevents any further process of suspend


yes that's what i believe but problem is i don't know how the distribution
goes to do the suspend exactly, any references to how suspend is being
called in om2008.9 ?

does the same occur in debian arne?

closest to the centre being the most deviated, and the lowest 4 red lines
are deviated downwards with the one closest to the centre being the most

to me... was it like this when you got the device?, i'm no expert in this
area but i think some excess pressure has been applied on the unit's screen
or something before... from the middle i guess.. or something dropped and
the shape of the screen got bent very slightly maybe.. what do you guys

dangling. So, we found the perfect clip to keep the tethered stylus, inkless
stylus, finger or pen cap stylus in place. Clip has an adhesive pad that
sticks to most surfaces. Great way to keep your TrueTip styli in one
location! Bag of 10 white clips.

I think this is more about being cool than being practical. It reminds me
 some heavy metal/emo artifact like this:

Re: Finger stylus found...

2008-08-18 Thread Flyin_bbb8
well these guys obviously think all their customers are stupid, found
this on their main page


Here are just five of the many benefits of our finger stylus and pen
cap stylus:

1. Increase your productivity by up to 30%!
2. Prolong the life of your touch screen and PDA.
3. Decrease the need to clean your screen.
4. TrueTip styluses reduce costly repairs due to damage done by
foreign objects and fingernails.
5. Using TrueTip styli will eliminate scratches, smudges, smears,
marks, food prints, and oils, and ink from your PDA or touch screen.

(number 5 makes sense the most)  -- do germans get this once arne? :p

Re: IDA Systems Freerunner sales update

Yes but having a creditcard payment method is preferable than wire
transfers, as you'll have to go to your bank, fill a form.. da da da...
creditcard you just go to the website put the info there and you got it done
much faster... plus in my situation i use an e-card, which is like a
mastercard for online or phone use, you can put money in it but you can't
withdraw so i got my money for the freerunner in there and can only
purchase using mastercard payment option!

and buying it. without checking the wiki or asking anyone that owns
it.. openmoko.com doesn't give any proper information on anything other
than the hardware... i personally wouldn't buy a phone without at least
googling it to find out more information.. (NOT saying that openmoko doesn't
need to have that notification of the software on the webshop, it should

 There's two levels of supicion you can apply to check what's really
 going on.  First there is a logical enable signal that is reported by

 cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on

 This would report 0 if the BT stuff was logically off.

 If it still doesn't satisfy the suspicion, you can quite directly check
 if it is being given power by the PMU.

 cat /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/dump_regs

 will (after a little pause while it grabs them) dump the whole PMU
 register state.  BT is powered off LDO4, it means registers 0x33 and
 0x34 are interesting.  The LDO is powered if b0 of 0x34 is '1', it
 should be disabled if it claims BT is off.

 However, WLAN is much hungrier than BT.  Maybe it can be that?

 I think the Freerunner has enough RAM to actually make that possible
 (ringtones and etc. may be stored in tmpfs) :)

 Maybe when just running the GPS application and there's no fix some of the
important data from the SD can be put in the RAM (just in case a call comes
or any other things like maps etc.) then when the fix is there the RAM can
drop some of the unneeded stuff :)

 This is quite common - I've known UK Visa cards to do the same thing.
 I never quite grok the security logic of taking you to a Visa site
 and getting you to enter your date of birth, mothers' maiden name c
 *during* a transaction (which they always do the first time you use a
 card). If the card-provider wishes to something unique during credit-
 card transactions then the authentication should be set up in ADVANCE.

 At the end of 3rd step I got some error and couldn't proceed or go
 back from there. I however received an email confirmation for that
 3rd step from Visa.

 What concerns me is, I did not get any confirmation email that
 OpenMoko has received my order successfully. ... But should I be
 getting any confirmation/receipt of transaction from OpenMoko or
 from the third party site that processed my order?

 Was it really necessary to post this question to the list? Couldn't
 you have just emailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead?

 I appreciate that Openmoko has these great community lists to make
 use of, but this seems to me to be a standard ordering enquiry. In
 the case of a credit card transaction query when ordering from any
 other online shop, you'd just email them direct.

  use the highest res i can get, when i can get it as i know i can
  read my
  miniscule 8pt or less fonts. but no one else can read my screen -
  they all
  complain that it's too hard and i am forever upping font sizes if i
  want anyone
  to read something on it. i know *I* am fine with it, but the vast
  majority of
  other people can't read my screen. this is why i am cutting myself
  out of this
  - trying to not be personal about it as i know already i'm an
  exception to the
  rule.

 Hi there,

 I haven't posted on this topic before because I'm not able to
 personally compare VGA  QVGA 2 phone screens.

 However my eyesight is also better than 20/20, and display quality is
 generally quite visible to me.

 Your statements have seemed to say that QVGA is just as good as VGA
 for most people, and I have been sceptical of this - I find that my
 current phone (P990i) is QVGA, and that is rubbish for viewing
 webpages. Since you have 20/20 eyesight and can view tiny fonts at
 high resolutions I'm inclined to believe that a VGA screen will, for
 me, be better for displaying webpages  PDFs - I'll be able to fit
 more on the screen and my eyesight will allow me to read the smaller
 text.

 So my vote is for VGA (or even widescreen VGA, like the PSP?).

 Stroller.

 it will be better - of course. what' i'm baffled about is why all of a
 sudden
 here a lot of excellent vision gifted people turn up, whereas in real life
 i
 never see them... :)

Re: GPS -- AGPS

2008-06-05 Thread Flyin_bbb8
An *A-GPS* receiver can address these problems in several ways, using
an *Assistance
Server*:

   - The Assistance Server can locate the phone roughly by what cell
sitehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_siteit is connected to on the
cellular
   network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_network.
   - The Assistance Server has a good satellite signal, and lots of
   computation power, so it can compare fragmentary signals relayed to it by
   cell phones, with the satellite signal it receives directly, and then inform
   the cell phone or emergency services of the cell phone's position.
   - It can supply orbital data http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeris for
   the GPS satellites to the cell phone, enabling the cell phone to lock to the
   satellites when it otherwise could not, and autonomously calculate its
   position.
   - It can have better knowledge of
ionospherichttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphericconditions and
other errors affecting the GPS signal than the cell phone
   alone, enabling more precise calculation of position. (See also Wide Area
   Augmentation
Systemhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Area_Augmentation_System)
   

Info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS ,(I'm not 100% sure about
the precision but at least that's what alot of people have told me, and so
does other websites ), have you run any tests yet Joerg?

I know they do use D-GPS in other industries other than aviation that's
exactly why i said mainly and not only, go ahead and tell me why they made
D-GPS in the first place, and then added the small error in it by the
department of defense of the US :)

 Aaaaha, I seen it being used for all sorts of archeology and buildings

 And from the info in the uBlox-paper, regarding the protocol options it
 doesn't seem to me like there is much chance for better precision by the
 way
 they do A-GPS.
 Better precision would mean info on meteorological interference (like exact
 amount clouds on the way to sat) at the very location of the receiver. To
 get
 this, you need... a reference receiver, so we are at D-GPS again.

 It doesn't. This is perhaps my single BIGGEST complaint. I don't
 really mind that the battery dies in 5 hours, because I can plug it up
 within that window. What bothers the hell out of me is that the phone
 runs itself into the ground to the point where it can't even be turned
 on without an hour of slow charging. :( I understand this is a
 firmware issue and that at least this last part has been corrected in
 the Freerunner.

 Qtopia has announsed to embrace the Neo device and have released the

Re: Group purchase/shipping generally

2007-07-03 Thread Flyin_bbb8

yea that would be great, then we can have a section on the wiki where there
would be alot of countries and the people in each country can then discuss
about the dates and make an agreement

Hello,

before some days Hans van der Merwe asked, if it is possible to do group
purchases (in South Africa).
Unfortunately he got no answer, so I'd like to ask again.
I'm from germany and I think there are many people here who like to buy a
GTA01 device.
If everyone orders a single device it are $20 to $40 for the shipment PLUS
19% VAT on the device INCLUDING the shipment.
Let's assume you order a device for $300, shipment is expensive with $40
this are $340, plus VAT it are $405.
Now let's assume there are 4 people who want to have a device, the package
is still small enough for $40.
So we pay ((($300*4)+$40)*1.19)/4 what makes $370 (+$5 for forwarding the
packet inland).
So everybody could save at least $30, maybe more if it would be possible
to send bigger packets.

It would be nice if someone at FIC (Sean? :) ) could tell us if it would
be possible to take group orders and how many devices could be shipped at
once.
Knowing that would be great, because groups could plan the purchase before
the 9th.
