Yep, had the same issue. I noticed that networking wasn't started at
boot anymore after an okpg upgrade. Try to open the terminal on the FR
and do ifup usb0 to bring up USB networking manually.

I think the reason for this issue is a change in the initscripts. I
fixed it by forcing an install of the package initscripts-shr as a
replacement for initscripts (opkg hadn't done that automatically,
because the difference in versioning made it look like a downgrade).

 Strange enough Qtopia seems to know that suspending is not good for
 the SD-card. I don't know why, but every time I have a working Debian
 system on the SD card, Qtopia refuses to suspend automatically (i.e.
 the powermanagement settings are ignored). After I forced the first
 suspend by 'apm -s', everything works like normal again. But then, the
 SD card's boot partition is corrupted.

I guess what happens is that Qtopia starts scanning all the files on the
SD card. It is designed to be run from internal flash with your MP3s on
the SD card, so it scans all the files there and makes a database of
them. With a Debian system on SD, this probably takes hours, and during
that Qtopia probably refuses to suspend. You can turn this feature off
in a file called Storage.conf lying around somewhere, IIRC.

Customized layout for illume keyboard

2008-09-10 Thread Thomas B.
Hi,

I customized the layout of the illume Numbers keyboard a bit, and
thought I'd share the result with the community.

I love the illume keyboard, the only minor annoyance was that the keys
in the Numbers layout were pretty small, so I had to fumble quite a
bit when entering my PIN without a stylus.

Also, I desperately needed an F5 key to be able to bring up the menu in
ScummVM ;-)

So, I basically split up the Numbers layout into two layouts: One
contains only the numbers, allowing for more space for each key and thus
improving finger-friendliness. The other one, called Symbols, is
basically the original Numbers layout, but with a row of F-keys
(including F5! :-)) instead of the numbers.

I have attached my layouts: Extract the tarball in ~/.e/e (which will
create a subdirectory keyboards), killall -HUP enlightenment and
enjoy!

Regards,
Thomas

PS: I forgot to provide uninstallation instructions: In the case you or
anyone trying this eventually finds that they don't like the layouts,
getting rid of them is as easy as rm -rf ~/.e/e/keyboards; killall -HUP

 This must be it. Which one is the default? I'm not sure if I installed gsmd 
 implicitly, or if qtopia-phone-x11 was pulled in as a dependency.

qtopia-phone-x11 is the default on OM2008.8.

Sounds similar, but I doubt that it is the same issue, because #1792 was
caused by an Openmoko specific patch to the Qtopia source, which
probably isn't included in the original Qtopia.

Anyway, a hint for diagnosing this problem is to get log data to see how
and where it fails. I guess logging isn't enabled by default in Qtopia,
but AFAIK it can be enabled by copying
/opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/Log.conf to
~/Settings/Trolltech/Log.conf and enabling some logging options there
(in particular AtChat for the communication with the GSM modem). The
logs can then be read with logread.

I rebooted, so, yes.

But anyway, with or without that file, I can't complain about a lack of
debugging information at the moment, at least regarding GSM. The
complete communication with the GSM modem is in the logs, which is often
pretty informative.

 I recently received my freerunner, and am enjoying it so far!
 
 I have mainly been using the qtopia image from qtopia.net, but have

 On doing some testing, I find the following: I can receive SMS messages 
 perfectly whilst the phone is on, in qtopia. Not always so well in the GTK 
 stack.
 
 If the phone is in standby, and I receive a text message, the phone 
 wakes up but does not receive a text message. The person sending the 
 message does, however, receive a delivery report. This occurs in both 
 images as well.
 
 If I then subsequently receive a message after the others, whilst the 
 phone is out of standby, I receive all the messages together. Hence, no 
 messages are lost in the ether, but it seems that messages received 
 whilst the phone is on standby are temporarily mislaid.
 If there is any information I can provide to help you sort this please just 
 let me know. This is one of very few things preventing me using the neo 
 as a day to day phone with qtopia.

I observed this too, and filed a bug:

Yep, there's a wiki page:

Bootloader commands are described here:

The command I used to change the command sequence for booting from SD

braces have to be escaped so that they are not interpreted right away...
actually I'm not sure about the curly braces, but it worked for me):

setenv menu_1 Boot from microSD (FAT+ext3): setenv bootargs \$\{bootargs_base\} 
rootfstype=ext3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 \$\{mtdparts\} ro\; mmcinit\; 
fatload mmc 1 0x3200 \$\{sd_image_name\}\; bootm 0x3200

Then do a printenv to check whether everything is right, and if it is,
do saveenv.

 I would like to boot Qtopia from SD, but couldn't yet...
 
 Can I do that with the image of Qtopia you mentioned ?
 I extracted the files form the .jffs2 and copied them on the microSD card.
 I then put the uImage bin in /boot

You have to put uImage.bin in a FAT partition... at least that's how
it's supposed to be when you use the default U-Boot environment. See
here:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Boot_from_sd_card

 I tried with SD card formated in ext3 and ext2.

It seems you have to use ext3 for the rootfs partition, because current
kernel builds have ext2 support only as a module (which is not yet
available before the rootfs is mounted).

Then I had the following problem: U-Boot told the kernel that the rootfs
was ext2, even if it was ext3, so the kernel couldn't mount it. I solved
that by logging in to the U-Boot console via USB and modifying the
command sequence to boot from SD so that it looks like this (I just
replaced ext2 with ext3):

menu_1=Boot from microSD (FAT+ext3): setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} 
rootfstype=ext3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 ${mtdparts} ro; mmcinit; 
fatload mmc 1 0x3200 ${sd_image_name}; bootm 0x3200

Here you can also see that it expects the kernel to be on a FAT
partition (it uses the command fatload). Maybe that could be changed,
so that it reads the kernel from the ext2 or ext3 partition itself, but
I don't know which commands U-Boot supports.

I definitely agree that a .tar.gz would be much simpler, though. I need

dfu-util upload problems

2008-07-06 Thread Thomas B.
Hi,

I have a little problem with dfu-util and my new Freerunner.

I thought I'd make a backup of my Neo's filesystem before flashing new
images onto it, so I tried to use dfu-util in upload mode to transfer
the content of the Neo's flash to my desktop PC. Backing up the kernel
partition works, but when I back up the rootfs partition dfu-util
transfers about 247MB and then dies with dfu_upload error -84, while
the phone immediately reboots. It always dies at the same position, but
I'm not sure whether the backup is complete or not.

Further details: I've tried it on my desktop and on my laptop PC, with
Ubuntu 7.10, Ubuntu 8.04 and a grml live-cd, with various dfu-util
binaries and one built from SVN, but the error appeared every time. The
phone was hooked up directly to the host (no hub or something), U-Boot
version on the phone is the originally installed 1.3.2-moko12 from May
9.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thomas
