GSM Firmware Flashed, now UBIFS problem and Kernel Panic
Hi.. Please advice if you can.. Stupidly I didn't make any backup prior to this.. (well, nothing recent anyways) my QtMoko is on NAND and I just used the µSD Flashing Method as recommended in the Wiki to update my GSM Firmware from Moko10 to Moko11.. It finshed with D_O_N_E and showed the green Angstrom login, then I removed the battery and flash SD.. put my SIM and storage SD back in and was going to boot into QtMoko again, but I get: ---88- UBIFS error (pid 1): ubifs_read_node: bad node type (255 but expected 6) UBIFS error (pid 1): ubifs_Read_node: bad node at LEB 0:0 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(0,0) ---88- I think the flashing just messes with the GSM chip, so despite the subject of the mail, I believe it might be something to do with what happened before the flashing: I shut down Qt, took my SIM an SD out.. powered up - but forgot to press AUX.. so I removed the battery when I saw the first text line from normal boot (I guess it's a Kernel loading message or so).. then I plugged in again and carried on with AUX and flashed.. Any ideas on this problem? I there any way to repair that FS?

[QtMoko] Problem with eMail notify
Hello everyone! Recently I installed QtMoko v31 and I'm amazed.. I set up all kinds of connections (still have a problem sending/receiving mms - but I'm not too concerned about that).. Anyway, to the point now: I set up an IMAP account and it started downloading headers then it was so slow, and I think it would have killed the mail app (10k+ mails) so I cancelled.. and then I had a notify for 34 mails.. I didn't want to use the IMAP there anymore so I removed the email account.. the message app doesn't show any mails (of course).. but the main screen still thinks there are 34 new mails.. I can click on it, but nothing happens.. it just keeps displaying the envelope on home screen and top bar.. How do I get rid off those? I already quit QtExtended and deleted the sqlite files I found in the profile.. it then refound my SMS on SIM so I ended up with 40 new messages! I restored the sqlite backups and the SMS part was okay again.. but still 34 messages (mail) and no mail account configured.. reboot doesn't change anything.. Any pointers welcome.. ;) Cheers.. -- Thomas -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant. - Alan J.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi.. I bought a 2GB sd card which came formatted with FAT. Is this a good option for the sd card or is it advisable to use another fs? I'm using it for osm maps. My experience: I had trouble with FAT and OSM maps.. it became read-only after a while of updating tiles.. though, I admit that it could also be the sdclk causing that (which I have not played around with).. anyway.. reformatting with ext3 solved that problem for me..

Re: Yaouh! 0.2.1 is out now
Hi.. Carlo Minucci wrote: Helge Hafting ha scritto: I let it run overnight, to deal with 5 tiles. It still segfaults sometime during the night. There are no full filesystems this time though. yesterday yaouh have crash with 2 tiles... I had mine run with 68K tiles.. and I didn't experience any crashes.. the only problems I had were: a) Version 0.2.0 (and expect 0.2.1, too) doesn't seem to care about the TangoGPS config file anymore, so I had to symlink the SD card folder.. b) Concerning the SD card. Not sure why, but it was FAT formatted and after a few tiles I could see the wget complain about a read-only filesystem.. once I re-formatted with ext3, that was history and the whole lot of tiles could be updated..

Re: Yaouh! out (update for tangogps maps)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi.. Very nice program.. works like a charm (so far (checking on ~70k tiles)).. it's somewhat slow, though.. maybe you can implement that python httplib to save the curl invocations? :) please? Thank you for that tool.

Re: which SHR image
Helge Hafting wrote: [an excellent and helpful text] Wow.. that was thorough... Thank you for that - although I'm past that stage it was very good to read.. Maybe one more thing to ask (as I have no clue): Do you happen to know the difference between the unstable and testing images of SHR..? I used to flash the testing images (as linked to by the wiki[1]) but noticed the other folder the other day.. Cheers..
