Tracking down reasons for segvaulting applications
My python app ends regularly with a segmentation fault and offers to save a log by means of a gtk dialog. The actual log contains very little helpful info. I'd like to know how to catch more fish. Error Signal Information: /usr/bin/xyz was interrupted by a Segmentation Fault. Output Data: There was no output Error Logs: There was no error message ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Tracking down reasons for segvaulting applications
2009/12/28 Patrick Beck pb...@yourse.de: Hi, is that not a normal enlightenment (window manager) error message? I think it will be useful to start the script from the command line. Then you get the error output directly from the python interpreter. Ok, all irony aside, I will start with a test session from the command line and see what I can find. Then after that I'll throw some strace at it. The downside of this all is that I will have to have a GPS fix, which will force me to go outside in wintertime :/ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Alternative courtesy of Lowell Higley on Nov 28th: To make a poor man's screenshot from FR's terminal: sleep 5 ; cp /dev/fb0 screen.dump The sleep 5 gives you time to switch to the screen you want to shoot (or do remotely from an ssh session). You get a 4 MB screen dump, I use the following command on the desktop-PC to convert it to a png: fbgrab -f screen.dump -b 16 -h 640 -w 480 screen.png The poor mans method has worked for me! Thanks. The Gpe-scap method sounds appealing, but currently suffering from a routing problem over wifi from gta02 to my network has held me back to actually install it. Will try later. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

How to publish a piece of software in python?
I have a rather simple request: what is the procedure to publish a set of python script files, into a distributable package for releasing it to the opkg feeds? http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain posed me some challanges. After reaching How to create your own project from the sample project it seems this whole method is for a c-programs... this turns me down, sorry. So, where is the simple 5-10 step procedure for average joes like me? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: How to publish a piece of software in python?
2009/11/29 Joseph Reeves iknowjos...@gmail.com: An ipk file is just a load of files packaged together. These are distributed as you see fit, then opkg installs your application by extracting the relevant files to the places you want them. All very easy (said, literally, as an average Joe) if you use the ipkg-build script. More info: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=IPKG_Howto That link truly helped. Currently I have deploy an ipkg package on my moko, which lands things as intended in /usr/bin and /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/. Great! Another step further into public availability of my tinkering :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Dbus api for gta2 accelerometers
Anyone able to show how to read out the accelerometers through d-bus? I tried looking it up on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dbus_device_API but did not find references to the accelerometers. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Accelerometer_data_retrieval is of course valuable, but I'd like to learn the FSO way of doing things. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I tried looking it up on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dbus_device_API but did not find references to the accelerometers. What's your usecase? Since very recently, we provide http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.Device.Orientation.html;hb=HEAD The use case is as follows: take the openmoko and make it a cycleway shock measuring platform, utilizing the accelerometers. So, direct reads from the are going to be needed. The gps unit is of course of interest to make the measurements location-based. I am not yet up to speed with the fso stack. Is it possible to explain why the fso direction to read out data from the accelerometers was abandoned? I could understand the argument that constantly reading out the accelerometers would hog the cpu and probably would also drain the battery very easily too. Switching the readout on and off through by fso interface command and reading them out would be a natural thing to have, but as said, I have not implemented a single line of code in the fso domain :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [2008.12] Editing numbers, in contacts for instance
2008/12/25 Wendy wendy_h...@openmoko.com Hi, try to scroll up and down on the keyboard, then you will have numbers or symbols. check here:http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8_Keyboard Thanks, this is a bit embarrassing from my side, but I got so used to the way FDOM has offered keyboard interactivity the last months, that I never really looked into the working of the original OM keyboard, which I thought really unuseful without the tab-key (think of tapping things in the terminal...) I will try to live with the default way of keyboard interaction now. Although I also managed to experiment with the matchbox keyboard in the meantime. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[2008.12] Editing numbers, in contacts for instance
Just flashed to 2008.12. Fast booting and responsive user interaction, great! However, I noticed there is only a simple keyboard available. While I was trying to edit data in the Contacts app there is no way to enter numbers... only 26 characters (a-z) are available. Any hints are welcome to get this keyboard puzzle resolved. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
