 Hi,

 I couldn't wait and so i tried it today. I installed latest SHR 2012.7

 But the first problem came up with bluetooth pairing because the

 modules SHR doesn't have. It uses from gi.repository import GObject
 which i could solve when renaming it to import gobject (doesn't know
 if that works). But than it also uses import bluezutils which i can't
 find anywhere in the SHR repositories.
 So before i can test the BtGPS script i have to solve the problem of
 pairing my devices. The wiki states there are some other scripts for
 pairing but i can't find any. So does anybody know a way how to pair my
 GTA02 with another device with some script or program for SHR?

 Hi Rainer,
 
 I use bluetooth without pairing.
 
 I have a laptop and a FR.
 On the laptop i do:
 rfcomm listen 1 2
 
 And on the FR i do
 
 BLUEMAC=00:02:72:14:0F:ED
 rfcomm connect 1 ${BLUEMAC}
 And wait a while for /dev/rfcomm1 to come up.
 
 Then i run on the laptop:
 /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach /dev/rfcomm1 call bluerunner
 
 where /etc/ppp/peers/bluerunner contains the ip address etc ( man pppd )
 
 You can then start gpsd on the freerunner and use it as a networked gpsd
 from the laptop.
 
 I hope this setup will work for you too.
 ( i wrote a script around the commands, but this is basically how it
 works)
 
 The lack of pairing also means a lack of encryption, you have to judge
 the impact of that yourself.

Thanks for these instructions.
But the problem is that i want to pair the freerunner with my tablet
where i have no access to a console. So i do need a script or program
which could pair with standard bluetooth devices. I could also install
debian or qtmoko on the freerunner if they are more suited for this
task. So is there any other way of pairing with other devices? :)

 Rainer

I read in a forum that it should be possible to import eagle 6.x files

Re: pisi calendar sync over caldav?

 is it possible to sync a calendar application in shr-u with help of pisi

 Use the webdav option.
But in the pisi doc it states that it uses ics files over webdav which
is not the same as caldav extension to webdav AFAIK. I don't have any
ics file when accessing my calendar over caldav. I only have an url like
http://www.myserver.de/mycal with username and password.

 I can't find any calendar application in shr-u which could sync by
 itself to a caldav server so i thought pisi could do it. But i can't
 find any settings for this case.
 You can convert evolution (dates) and also opimd (contacts)
 into webdav calendar (caldav) and vise-versa.
That sounds interesting.
The default dates application in shr-u is opimd-dates and i can install
dates from the repo which is pimlico-dates. Evolution is not available
in shr-u and from the looks it is way to huge for the freerunner. And
what has opimd contacts to do with a caldav calendar or do you mean
opimd dates? :)

Could you explain a bit more what you mean by convert?

I would really like to have a calendar which could sync to caldav itself
like the iphone (seen at a friend's phone). :)

 2. His patch for filtering bad input is bad, as it should be done in

 We don't want UI filtering, but we want backend system filtering. The
 correct thing will be fixing libphone-utils,
 adding filter before sms, filter before call, etc functions and
 using them in FSO, not in the UI.

I had to replace a few program paths which were no more correct. But

AttributeError: 'elementary.c_elementary.Window' object has no attribute
'destroy'

When i just remove the line 337 and run it i got another error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ./notifier, line 360, in module
bt_calls.clicked = show_missed_calls
AttributeError: 'elementary.c_elementary.Button' object has no attribute

When i also remove the two lines for the clicked event the script seems
to run. But when i call myself and hang up nothing happens. I don't know
if nothing hapens because of the commented out gui lines or if the code
doesn't work anymore in general. I see that there are quite some dbus
calls and maybe the syntax for them also has changed. :/

When i interpret it right then the gui part only shows the missed
calls/sms. So maybe the gui part isn't needed anymore because we can use
opimd-notifier to show the missed calls/sms.
But without the script's gui we need another way to confirm and
deactivate the reminder.

 AttributeError: 'elementary.c_elementary.Window' object has no attribute
 'destroy'

 When i just remove the line 337 and run it i got another error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File ./notifier, line 360, in module
 bt_calls.clicked = show_missed_calls
 AttributeError: 'elementary.c_elementary.Button' object has no attribute
 'clicked'

 When i also remove the two lines for the clicked event the script seems
 to run. But when i call myself and hang up nothing happens. I don't know
 if nothing hapens because of the commented out gui lines or if the code
 doesn't work anymore in general. I see that there are quite some dbus
 calls and maybe the syntax for them also has changed. :/

 When i interpret it right then the gui part only shows the missed
 calls/sms. So maybe the gui part isn't needed anymore because we can use
 opimd-notifier to show the missed calls/sms.
 But without the script's gui we need another way to confirm and
 deactivate the reminder.

 Callback handling in python elementary changed in november 2009:
 http://lists.shr-project.org/pipermail/shr-devel/2009-November/001374.html
 That script still uses the old way, so you have to change it.

Thanks for the hint. Now i got no error when starting the script (except
for __init__) but it seems that it doesn't work. When the script runs
and i have a missed call it seems to do nothing except for the fact that
opimd-notifier also doesn't pop up anymore. So i thought if maybe
opimd-notifier and this script get in the way of each other. But after i
killed opimd-notifier and tried it again also nothing happens. So i
think that the scripts core functionality isn't working correctly. But i
don't know how to investigate the problem because i have no clue of
python programming.

Missing feature

2010-06-20 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

i'm using my Freerunner now for over a week and most things work quite
good. :)

But there is one major thing i'm missing which has every other mobile
phone. The possibility to see unanswered calls/sms without extra turning
on the phone. When i missed a call and wasn't near the phone than i do
not wakeup the phone only to see if i missed a call. Therefore i often
responded to missed calls/sms quite late because i din't know i had one. :/

So i thought how this problem could be solved and had an idea but don't
know if it is possible to implement. :)

I thought that it would be usefull if the phone wakes up as soon as i
move the phone and had an unanswered call/sms. Than after waking up it
should play a little sound to get my attention to look at the screen
because mostly i have my freerunner in its case and wouldn't see the
screen. This wakeup-and-sound feature would only be activated if it goes
to suspend with some unseen missed calls/sms. I know that the build in
accelerometers (LIS302DL) have an internal interrupt generation when
exceeding some predefined acceleration in any direction. So it could be
programmed to the current x/y/z position as default and add a little
threshold to it on standby . Therefore it would generate an interrupt
only if i move the phone.
The problem is that i don't know if the interrupt from the
accelerometers could be used to wakeup the phone or not.

I don't know if this feature is realizable but it would be exact what i
need to speed up my response time to missed calls/sms. At the moment my
nice Freerunner is not liked very much among my friends which tried to
call me and i needed quite a long time to call them back. So this
feature would help me to make the freerunner more popular among my
friends. Especially that i don't know of any other phone which has such
a nice missed call/sms reminder. :)

qi-bootmenu-0.1 problem with menu

2010-06-08 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

i use latest qi-bootmenu v0.1 for my GTA02 but i have a strange problem.
When i powerup my Freerunner and than press AUX to start the bootmenu it
always shows the big openmoko logo and starts the bootmenu. But it
doesn't always show the possible bootable partitions. I tried it 15
times and in 7 cases it shows all three bootable partitions on my
sd-card. In the other 8 cases it only shows poweroff in the bootmenu.
And the cases when it worked and when not seemed randomly distributed.

Is this a bug or do i have to do something else to get it working all
the time?

I have three bootable partitions with ext3 on each of them on my sd-card
(shr-u, debian, gamerunner).

Today i tried v0.2 of Gamerunner. Because i'm a big fan of the old FPS
(Duke3d, Quake, Doom) i only tried these three.
But to be honest none of them were playable. All three started ok but
the control of the player was not useable.

The player in Doom was only moving sometimes and i could only get it to
shoot. The menu is working quite good with touchscreen but i can't
control the sliders for the sound/music volume.

In Duke3d the player was always running forward and i can't control the
movement. Only firing and jumping was working. I had the same problem
with duke3d when i was last trying to get it working last year.

Only Quake was working more or less with accelerometer (but not with
touchscreen) but the sensitivity was so high that only a very very
little movement of the neo case leads to a big movement. Therefor it was
nearly impossible to control the player in a accurate way. The
sensitivity of the accels should be about 1/10 of it's current state.

Maybe i'm overseeing something about the controls why it doesn't work
for me. But the boot time is really fast and i like the simple
finger-friendly game launcher. :)

[SHR-U] Change Aux key binding [was: Scummvm key binding]

Like shown in the non-working script below it must have been possible in

AFAIK the contacts are saved in a sqlite db (default) on the filesystem

 Your figure is good. #1024 fix saves you about 4-8mA, a considerable
 amount during suspend-to-ram, but you won't notice the difference if
 you keep the device in idle but not suspended state.
 
 Ok, make sense.
 So I checked charge_now during suspend (measuring before and after
 suspend of course) and it seams that the battery is then discharging
 at the rate of 23mA, which leads to a total of approx 50 hours.
 Much less than expected. :(

After the #1024 fix i measured 5 times (each over a few days standby)
and my mean discharge current was ~9,3mA/h which leads to a maximum of
~128,15h standby time.

 So, I suspect that 78mA when idle, supposed to be in deep sleep mode with

I thought the #1024 fix is only helping while the freerunner is

 * HOW TO INSTALL SHR ON A FRERUNNER WITH ANDROID *
 
 1) For being able to install SHR on a Neo with Android you need:
 
 Hardware; phone, usb-cable, a computer with Ubuntu
Lets say a computer with linux. It must not be especially Ubuntu.

 Software; Dfu-util, NEO-tools, U-boot (installed on my Neo atm.), a
 kernel-module and SHR-root filesystem
Neo-Tools is not only a textfile instead it is a shell-script for linux
which should make the flash process more easily. But you won't need it
if you do it by hand.
U-boot is ok but you could also flash QI instead. But lets say you stay
with u-boot.

 The software can be found at the following places:
 
 http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=dfu-util DFU-util : Wtf is
 intrepid, jaunty karmic, lucid? Am I supposed to understand that? I thought
 it was a program.
These are just names for the different versions of ubuntu. When you do
apt-get install dfu-util you have the right version.

 http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot U-boot : I already have it installed on my
 neo, so I dont need it again?
Good question. Newer versions have some bugfixes and so on but first try
i with your preinstalled version.

 http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/full-om-gta02.jffs2
 SHR-root filesystem : Im taking the files from the Testing line instead of
 Unstable, it's ok, right?
Sure it is ok but beware that shr is constantly updated so even testing
could sometimes be a bit unstable. But it is a better starting point
than the unstable version.

 http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin
 Kernel module : Only one file?
If you want to install shr-testing in NAND flash you need the kernel to
be flashed into the kernel partition. The corresponding modules are
already in the root filesystem which should be flashed to the rootfs
partition.

 AND, you need to Flash the Neo before anything can be done.
 
 This is done by first installing the DFU-utility software on a Linux
 computer, connect the Neo and doing the AUX-startup and also typing in the
 NEO-tools  http://users.on.net/~antisol/neotool text  somewhere? 
The commands for flashing the kernel and the rootfs can be found here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dfu-util#Flashing_the_rootfs

 Ok I think I'll stop here. I really want to succeed with this, because I
 love the Openmoko, but if I cant get a simple installation right I'll throw
 this phone into the garbage. In other words, I appreciate all help.
You love your openmoko but you will throw it into garbage only because
you doesn't know how to use it?
These statements seems to contradict each other if you ask me. ;)

 Is there an easy way to encrypt the whole disk (except /boot)? 
 Like in Ubuntu Alternate the install option install to encrypted LVM?
 Or will you have to do it manualy by many complicated console commands?
 
 I think too the typing of the password is a problem. Can you load the 
 touchscreen software with /boot or isnt it possible. Is it possible to 
 enter the Password with an USB keyboard? 

Why don't you use an unencrypted partition for the distribution and use
an encrypted partition on the sd-card (maybe luks or anythign else) for
your sensitive data?
If you encrypt the whole distribution i think it will be unusable slow
because of lack of cpu power. So only encrypt the sensitive data. But
even this could lead to a very high cpu load.

 Games:
 
 Can you just compile the games on your open moko or is there more work to 
 then just type make  install? Have I to change small parts of the code
 like the resolution in a c file? Or have I to do some serious port work?

You could just compile the games but you have to use games which runs
without keyboard on a touchscreen or only by mouse. In debian you could
use many precompiled games from the repository.

 Good question.

 For me the frustrating thing about navit is that it doesn't share maps
 with tangogps.  So:

 - if you do consider helping navit instead, please consider enhancing
 it to use the same maps as tangogps

 - if you continue with your own project, please consider making it use
 the same maps as tangogps.
 I don't think that this would be a good choice at all.
 Tangogps uses png pictures with no routing information within these
 files. For a navigation application you need vector images to determine
 the path for routing. And the data for maybe a whole country in png and
 for all zoom levels would be a few gigabyte with tens of thousands of
 files. Compared to the vector format navit uses which is only a few
 hundred megabytes in one file. And it could be rendered in all zoom
 levels because it is in vector format.
 So if something should be changed, than it should be tangogps and
 allother apps that uses png files to use a vector format like navit does
 which is way better for this purpose.
 
 Thanks for following up and explaining this; what you say makes sense.
  I suppose I was representing the non-technical point of view: I've
 already downloaded a pile of map data once, why should I need to
 install or download it again?  I can see now why navit can't use only
 tangogps's bitmap data.
 
 But I would guess that a combination could work well: bitmap data for
 display, plus vector data for routing.  The bitmap data could be
 shared.  It would take a lot of space per tile, but would only be
 needed for places visited and zoom levels used.  The vector data would
 be needed over a much larger area, but would take much less space per
 square kilometer.
 
 I guess the problem then would be ensuring consistency between the
 vector and bitmap data...

If you already have the vector data you doesn't need the bitmap data
anymore because you can render the displayed map directly from these
data. That is what navit already does and therefor a combination of
vector and bitmap data makes no sense. It would make the data redundant
and more complicated.

Ciao,
 Rainer

 Have you tried (re)starting fso-gpsd?
 
 AFAIK, tangogps, omgps and advanced-geocaching-tool are all using gypsy and 
 navit is still using gpsd (and fso-gpsd is a compatibility daemon).
 
 I sometimes had the same problem and each time fso-gpsd was not running. It 
 should normally be started when the system boots but I found that sometimes 
 it was'nt running when navit tries to use it.

Tanogps uses gpsd, so this could not be the problem.
But now i tried by accident (opkg update downgraded navit r2797 to shr-u
version r2735) the navit version in the shr repository (r2735) and this
version works and connects to the gps without problems. I also can see
my correct position on the map. So it seems that the precompiled
binaries from the navit homepage for the openmoko are not compatible
with current shr-u. Tomorrow i will try to contact someone from the
navit projects and say this so maybe we can find out where the problem
lies. Because i like to have the newest one and not the one from the

Re: Performance of the accelerometer on FR

2009-10-01 Thread Fox Mulder
 What are the accelerometers used in the FR (company and model number)?I
 think it might be Freescale's MMA7260.If it is it has selectable
 sensitivities in the range of +/- 1.5 g to 6 g what has been selected in
 the free runner.What I observed is that the Free runner is able to
 detect shocks as in if a person is running it will work well to detect
 such shocks.Also if one has to use it to shuffle songs it will work well.

Freerunner uses the LIS302DL accelerometers from ST [1]. They can be
switched between +-2g and +-8g range and have a resolution of 8 bit per
axis. The sample rate can be selected between 100Hz and 400Hz. And they
inherit some nice functions like double click detection and zero-g
filtering.

 powers down.  This does not happen on uboot
 
 I know Qi (and uboot) are not supposed to affect anything after its

 something that uboot does, and the kernel doesnt know about.
 
 I am happy that after swapping between uboot and Qi every week or so,
 that Qi, or something it does, or doesnt do allows WSOD's to occur.
 
 So if you get WSOD's, can you state here if you are using Qi, and if
 they stop when using uboot.
 
 If I am not the only data point for this, it might be easier to fix if
 others can add their input.  If I am not alone in this observation, I'll
 add it to the bug tracker.

My experience with qi so far is very good. I use qi for quite some time
now and with latest shr-u kernel i get no WSOD at all. My last WSOD was
months ago. I use suspend all the time and also do longer suspend
periods like 4 days in a row and never experienced any problems. I
update shr every few days.
I don't know which version of qi i currently have flashed but it is
around two months old.

Hi,

to be honest i just used the same place that Dieter Spaar used in his
fix from [1]. But one problem i see with moving the cap directly beneath
the existing one is the height. I used a 0805 10µF capacitor which could
fit over the existing resistors but then there is not much space left
between the cap, the upper shielding and the lower resistor. And at the
position to the right there is an empty space on the board so i don't
have to worry what component is below.
If i experience any problems with this solution i will try to use an
0603 10µF cap directly beneath the existing one.

I'm sorry to tell you that i don't have a link to a reseller for my caps
because a friend of mine brought me a few 0805 10µF/22µF and 0603 10µF
capacitors from work. :)

But from Farnell you can get 0603 [2] and 0805 [3] 10µF SMD capacitors.
I don't know if Farnell delivers to normal customers instead of
companies. But i do know that Farnell delivers to students and also
gives them a sales discount of 12%. Alternatively you can get all
Farnell components from the reseller HBE at [4] as normal customer in

 additionally, i am not really able to figure out the level of optimization

 navit.xml with some new stuff, i like (the different vehicles for car,  
 bike, and so on).
 so, if anybody has experiences to share?

I only tried it once but this was months ago and it worked not so good
(quite slow).

Since than i always compile navit myself from source directly on my
freerunner (thanks to all the gcc tools in debian for freerunner).
It compiles about half an hour but i can use every compile switch i like
and it always runs quite fast. At the moment i think this is the best
way for a fast and optimized version of navit.

And with every new navit version (when i'm in the mood to update my
version) i also compile osm2navit on my pc from the same source
package. Than i create a new map file in bin format because i read that
with newer navit versions sometimes new features were added to the map
format which i don't want to miss. :)

Is the right click solution based on tslib supposed to work with
xserver-xorg-video-glamo or if not is there another solution?

Here [2] is my current xorg.conf entry for the touchscreen.

I also tried the libgtkstylus variant but this seems to have no effect
at all.

[all] wlan power management problems

2009-07-23 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

since the default wlan mode was changed to use power savings i got
problems with my wlan accesspoint. I always have to issue the command
wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf to get a stable connection.
Now i thought if i could solve this if i change some settings on my wlan
ap. I use dd-wrt as router firmware and it has a lot of settings
especially for wlan. But i don't know what most of these settings do so
maybe someone of you has a suggestion what i can change. Here [1] is a
screenshot of all wlan specific settings in dd-wrt.
I know that i could still use wmiconfig to use my ap but i would prefer
to use the power saving mode.
Is there a chance to make my ap work with the ar6000 power savings
enabled when changing these settings?

Ciao,
 Rainer

Re: [omgps] collect feature requests

2009-06-30 Thread Fox Mulder
The possibility to enable/disable aided gps start within the settings
would be nice since fso still does agps function by itself. So the aided
feed of data from omgps would do it the second time after gps start. And
disabling agps in omgps speeds up the start and exit time of omgps a
little bit. :)

Re: [omgps] collect feature requests

2009-06-30 Thread Fox Mulder
My name is Rainer not Ciao but i forgive you. :)

Ok so when i understand it right i can change between nativ UBX Format
and ogpsd (NMEA format?) usage. As i know ogpsd was introduced to solve
the problem of multiple programs accessing /dev/ttySAC1 and instead use
ogpsd which support multiple connections.
But what is not clear to me is how you connect to the gps with UBX
format. I thought this is only possible over /dev/ttySAC1, which would
block possible ogpsd readings, or does ogpsd support NMEA and UBX format?
So in the end i only have to switch somehow from UBX to ogpsd input in
omgps to disable the aided gps data function?

mqy wrote:
 hi Ciao, 
 
 omgps supports two data providers: (1) UBX binary and (2) fso ogpsd (through
 dbus).
 with #1, no way to utilize ogpsd, you know duplicate connection to
 /dev/ttySAC1 would cause unexpected result.

 So the finnaly conclusion: you can't manually switch to ogpsd.

No it is good but i thought we could even accelerate it a little bit.

Re: [shr-u] wpa-exiting with code 1 ???

2009-06-25 Thread Fox Mulder
With the latest shr kernel it also didn't work for me. It seems that the
kernel isn't the problem at all. So i installed shr unstable (for the
first time) to try it there. And surprisingly it worked right out of the
box. :)
So i think that maybe my wpa_supplicant.conf file isn't working anymore
but i never changed it since the time it was working nicely with 2.6.24
kernels.

One big problem with wlan still exists. When i ping my server the time
fluctuates from ~15ms to ~4000ms and i got additional packet loss. I can
see this effect for example when i ssh into my freerunner or download
anything from it.

 So something still must be wrong but i don't know what. My Wlan AP is
working right which i verified with a second pc connected through wlan.

Anybody else experience such odd wlan behaviour?

I used mofi to connect to my wlan, which also uses a automaticaly

changed usb-networking entries in shr-u. I have to investigate which

Maybe i can find out why wlan in debian isn't working anymore while in

 There were reports that some APs don't play nicely with the power saving 
 enabled on the wifi chip. You could see if it's any more reliable with:
   iwconfig eth0 power off
 or
   wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf

Wow you were right with the first guess.
After i did wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf my average Ping goes
from 583.394ms with packet loss to 13.462ms with no packet loss. :)

Now i just have to find the right location where i could execute the
command. Do i have to execute it every time i enable wlan or just once
after booting?

 I think that comes from SHR keeping the alsa state files in

 Sounds likely... it's a shame - I found Dictator a useful app.

When i look at the directory structure in shr-u i see that there exists
three scenario dirs in [1] [2] [3].
[1] and [2] are not symlinked together and contains all normale state

only dictator_play.state and dictator_rec.state.
I don't know which state files shr really is using but what exactly is

 Hi,
 
 today i tried again opendoom for freerunner from Scott Carlson and it
 worked much more than it does a few months earlier. Maybe because i use
 xserver-xglamo and not fbdev at the moment.
 First i had to modify the /usr/games/dm startscript to [1] and it worked
 in landscape mode with a resolution of 240x320. But my first problem was
 that the touchscreen buttons seems not to work as expected. Only the
 menu button in the upper right always work. The up/down/enter
 buttons within the menu only seem to work sometimes. When i touch
 everywhere around sometimes one of these buttons seems to be touched.
 
 After a wild touching session i got a new game started but the
 accelerometer inputs seems to be broken within doom. I can now touch the
 menu und fire button which worked but no matter how i rotate my neo the
 player never even moves a bit.
 
 I'm using a recent 2.6.29 kernel from andy-tracking and the
 accelerometers work in mokomaze or acceleroids, so they seem to be ok.
 
 I hope Scott you could modify your opendoom version so it works again
 with accels? :)
 
 Or maybe someone else know what to change in the sourcecode to get it going.

No one knows how to fix the bug that the input isn't working right anymore?

When i do a hexdump /dev/input/event2 or with event3 i got data so the
accels seems to work. A short look at the modifications Scott made to
the sourcecode shows that he uses these input devices. But ingame the
accels has no effect at all.
I also took a short look at the touchscreen modifications in the

Ok, i think i know why the touchscreen input isn't working right. I used
a startscript which changes the screen resolution and orientation before
and after i start doom. But now i tried to do it in single steps and i
found a behaviour which is not right.
When i change the screen to 320x240 landscape mode the touchscreen input
seems to be still on 640x480. Because on the desktop i can see that the
mouse is moving only for 1/4 of the touchscreen area within the visible
screen resolution.

I use these two commands to change the display resolution and orientation:
echo qvga-normal  /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state
xrandr -s 240x320 -o 1

Is there anything which i can do so that the touchscreen input also is
scaled to 320x240 in landscape mode?

 Rainer

[debian] doom accel/touch not working right?

2009-05-18 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

today i tried again opendoom for freerunner from Scott Carlson and it
worked much more than it does a few months earlier. Maybe because i use
xserver-xglamo and not fbdev at the moment.
First i had to modify the /usr/games/dm startscript to [1] and it worked
in landscape mode with a resolution of 240x320. But my first problem was
that the touchscreen buttons seems not to work as expected. Only the
menu button in the upper right always work. The up/down/enter
buttons within the menu only seem to work sometimes. When i touch
everywhere around sometimes one of these buttons seems to be touched.

After a wild touching session i got a new game started but the
accelerometer inputs seems to be broken within doom. I can now touch the
menu und fire button which worked but no matter how i rotate my neo the
player never even moves a bit.

I'm using a recent 2.6.29 kernel from andy-tracking and the
accelerometers work in mokomaze or acceleroids, so they seem to be ok.

I hope Scott you could modify your opendoom version so it works again
with accels? :)

Or maybe someone else know what to change in the sourcecode to get it going.

Ciao,
 Rainer

If you update the kernel you also have to update the kernel modules

 It is my understanding that you can have single precision floating point
 numbers (float) or double precision (double), and integer values are
 simply ints. I could be wrong though. It did happen once before. ;)

Single precision floating point numbers use 32bit and double precision
floating point use 64bit according to IEEE754 standard for floating
point numbers. So double precision needs calculation with longer numbers
and needs more cpu power with no hardware fpu unit present.

[OM2009] Frameworkd not working?

2009-04-19 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

two days ago i installed OM2009 on my freerunner and i'm quite impressed
with the lookfeel of the gui. :)
I flashed the latest kernel [1] and after first boot i installed the
corresponding modules [2]. After reboot the modules were recognized and
loaded.

Now my problem is that it seems that frameworkd is not running. I can
see in the process list, that fso-gpds and fso-monitord are running but
no frameworkd. When i try to start frameworkd manually the init.d script
says ok but no process is running. Therefor no frameworkd specific
actions work. The power button is not attached to any action (suspend,
shutdown) and no leds are working. Also i can't use any phone function
with the preinstalled zhone. And after i installed paroli i got the
problem that paroli crashes every time i try to start it. :-/
When i try to start frameworkd on the commandline (not the init.d
script) i got the error EOFError: EOF read where object expected. And
when i try to start mdbus i got the same error message.

Could it be that there is any problem with the dbus because both
programs rely on it?

I know that OM2009 is still an early beta but maybe someone know a
solution for the problem why frameworkd doesn't run.

At last i want to say that i hope you people from openmoko keep up the
good work even after the bad news spreading around the web. :)

 I've had successful connections with open, WEP and WPA networks. And i've
 seen an AP i couldn't connect at all too. It looks like FR's wifi is
 incompatible with some APs, no matter if encryption is used or
 not. See http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket//1250 for example.

 To sum up: FR's wifi has 2 kinds of known problems: incompatibility
 with particular APs and instability of the internal firmware.

 Using an old (pre-.28) kernel is not recommended due to stability
 issues. Also i think Werner is still going to finish his daemon to
 promptly power-cycle the wifi module on internal firmware crash; that
 can improve stability somewhat.

 I wouldn't hope these compatibility issues will ever be fixed, so my
 advice is: trade your AP for the one FR can work with.

I added a script in /etc/apm/scripts which logs the current before and

right after resume. But this seems really high because my fr only uses
49mA when idle with backlight turned off and ~113mA idle with backlight
on (60%). So i don't think that this current is helpful at all.
And which other case do you mean with both cases?

 problem is that after suspend the backlight mechanism doesn't recognize

 That sounds really really odd. Can you reproduce this without having
 frameworkd running (it tries to control backlight too)?
Today i updated all packages in debian (quite a lot) and after reboot
the backlight not responding problem doesn't happen after
suspend/resume. So i can't reproduce this problem anymore at the moment.

 Which X server are you running?
I use xserver-xglamo because only with this xrandr is working.

 Another problem is that the memory consumption on debian is much higher
 and the system responsiveness is much slower than before. But this could
 also be a problem of other system components which are updated on a
 regular basis.

Please see attachment.


Any idea why wlan isn't working anymore?

Because if the backlight problem doesn't appear anymore my main problem
is only the non working wlan. Not only dhcp is not working. When i add
an ip by hand it also doesn't work.

But iwlist eth0 scan shows my wlan access-point and after ifup eth0
(with no dhcp answer) the command iwconfig eth0 shows that i should be
connected to my AP. Interesting is that iwconfig shows link quality
0/94, signal level -95dBm and noise level 0dBm. But when i do a iwlist
eth0 scan it shows link quality 24/94, signal level -69dBm and noise
level -95dBm for my wlan. These differences in signal quality looks
quite strange to me.

Another mysterious thing is that the wlan connection seems to be
oscillating. When i look at the wlan status page of my AP (dd-wrt linux)
i can see that the wlan client (my fr) is connected for a few seconds
and than disappears in the client list. After a few seconds it appears
and then disappears again and this repeats after a few seconds all the
time i have wlan activated on my fr. I don't think that the problem is
my AP because i got another pc connected to it with a stable connection
and dhcp working.

[debian] preferred working kernel at the moment?

2009-03-24 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

i wonder which kernel is the best or lets say the most stable and
working für debian at the moment. Since i upgraded from the last 2.6.24
kernels to the 2.6.28/29 i have more problems than benefits. :/

I tried the latest selfcompiled andy-tracking from [1] and the latest
unstable OM kernel from [2]. There are a few more locations for kernels
which i didn't try so far. But both kernels i tried didn't change in the
last ~2 weeks why i wonder if there is a better/newer kernel version
somewhere available. I also don't know if andy-tracking is still the
newest version after andy left openmoko.

The really big improvment from 2.6.24-2.6.28/29 is that the standby
time has improved really much. With this i can firstly carry the phone
with me without to be worried about an empty battery at the evening.

But than the problems on the other side are real blockers. First big
problem is that after suspend the backlight mechanism doesn't recognize
a touch on the screen anymore. Therefor after it dims and gets dark it
never get back to full brightness after i touch the screen. But the
desktop itself recognizes my touch and i can work as long as the
backlight is still on. I found out that the backlight gets back on when
i press the aux button. This is happening with andy-tracking. I still
have to try if this also happens with the latest official 2.6.28.

Second big problem for me is that wlan isn't working anymore. With
2.6.24 it worked quite good and stable. But with 2.6.28-OM and
2.6.29-andy it only works half. I can associate with my AP and the
freerunner and my AP both list each other as connected. But than no
communication works at all. I started wireshark on my freerunner and it
shows that the only protocoll which is exchanged is LLC which i don't
know. But the dhcp request is never answered. And wireshark on my
linux-AP shows that it never receives any request at all. At the moment
i only tried dhcp and no static configuration on my freerunner. But dhcp
worked very stable with the 2.6.24 kernel and a static configuration is
not very usefull whith changing wlan locations.

Another problem is that the memory consumption on debian is much higher
and the system responsiveness is much slower than before. But this could
also be a problem of other system components which are updated on a
regular basis.

So i hope anyone can suggest me a kernel which works as much as i could
even use my freerunner again. At the moment it is useless without
working backlight after suspend and working wlan. :/

 Rainer

 No, no, no. You are right only for GTA02v6. On GTA02v5 (which I have)
 this has been fixed only for orange and blue LEDs under POWER button.
 Red AUX button is still power hungry - it is eating 50mA.

Your mentioned 50mA for the AUX LED is ridiculous. It would burn out
with this high current. Normal LEDs only use ~20mA and low current LEDs
~2mA. 50mA would be for a higher power led which isn't build into the
freerunner.
And when you are on battery the AUX led is off by default and even if it

 Johnny Tenfinger is right despite it sounds strange.  On some or all A5s
 there is no base current limit resistor on the bipolar transistor used
 to light the AUX LED.
 
 This 50mA fault current then flows not through the LED (which has a
 reasonable series current limit resistor), but through the GPIO IO cell
 and the driver transistor base.

If this is the problem than it really is a bad design flaw...
Maybe i should test the AUX LED on my gta02v5 how much current it uses
when it is on.

 Just as a helpful note, adding swap space seems to help against
 application crashes.  I've always had issues with
 tangoGPS and the various webbrower apps crashing.  Looking into it a
 little more I notice that this was occurring when the
 puny 128MB of memory was getting filled up.  So, I added a swap file
 onto my microSD card and have had these problems
 practically clear up.  Anyone else had any similar experiences?  If this
 is a true fix this should probably go onto the wiki. 

I can agree with your findings. I also use a swap file with debian
because without it freezes quite a lot when starting many applications
and the memory got filled up. But i only added 64MB of swap and that is
enough to never got debian freeze again. :)

For compiling the kernel you neet the toolchain first. On the toolchain
wiki page [1] is the installation of it and compilation of andy-tracking
kernel described. I would suggest to start there first.

[debian] 2.6.28 kernel problems (was: Re: When will kernel 2.6.24 be replaced...)

Paul Fertser wrote:
 rm -rf staging

 And then scp your modules-whatever.tar.gz to FR and untar to /.

Sorry if i'm annoying you, but now it worked. :)

After i read build how you mentioned i found the problem why no
modules tar.gz were created. The build script needs a second parameter
to create the archive where the parameter can be whatever. I don't know
why this check is build into the script but with help of that it worked.
Second problem was that i had to copy the .config into the dummy
directory and not the linux-2.6 dir to be found.
The problem is that the info on the toolchain wiki [1] is a bit wrong
concerning kernel compiling. So i added a remark with the right steps on
this page.

I updated my fso-frameworkd with help of the patch from [2] and copied
the kernel and modules to the right place. Than i booted with the new
2.6.28 kernel but it didn't work at the first try.

I have a 64MB swap file activated in /etc/fstab which lies on the third
vfat partition of my sd-card. And at the point where the message
activating swap partitions came it hung and showed an error message
after 120sec timeout. So i thought that vfat wasn't working at boot time
and i disabled the swap file.
Next boot goes through and the freerunner started without any suspicious
error messages. After it booted the sd-card was mounted what means that
vfat should work. I had the same problem with the swap file a few weeks
ago with an older andy kernel and i don't know what the problem is.

But after a short test i found a few things that doesn't work anymore.
Don't know if they are related to the fso-frameworkd patches or to the
new kernel.
Openmoko-panel-plugin doesn't start anymore with an error message [3].
The system time was set back to 1 Jan 2000. And the greatest problem i
had was wlan. I could access the eth0 device and it shows all available
wlan stations but i can't use my wpa2 protected wlan with wpa_supplicant
anymore. Iwconfig showed that i should be connected to my wlan but i
can't get an ip with dhcp anymore like with my old 2.6.24 kernel. The
dhcp client always tries and after 6-7 dhcpdiscover it exits with no
dhcp server available.

That is the reason why i'm now back to the 2.6.24 kernel where these
things work. Maybe the userspace tools need a bit more tweaking before
they work together with the new 2.6.28 kernel. Or the configuration for
the 2.6.28 kernel have to be modified to work with my system. I removed
a few unneeded modules (i.e. Android things) and added a few modules but
i don't think that these have to do anything with my problems. :/

I attached my dmesg log. Maybe someone know of any other modifications i
can try to get the new kernel running a bit smoother. :)

Thats right. Only the name dummy can also be anything else like
GTA02 or whatever.

 
 Second problem was that i had to copy the .config into the dummy

 I have no idea where that dummy directory came from :) I'm afraid
 you're misinterpreting the build script. It seems to me that
 instructions on wiki are correct.

I took a closer look at the build script and i'm quite sure that i'm
interpreting it correct.
Maybe the name dummy as first parameter is not very good. In the wiki
it uses dummy as first parameter which is nothing else than the name
of the output subdirectory. But the build script also has a check for a
second parameter with if [ ! -z $2 ] ; then in line 96. And only if
a second parameter is given, no matter what it is, the code between line
97 and 100 for making a modules tar.gz file is executed. But this
parameter is not mentioned in the wiki.

 
 error messages. After it booted the sd-card was mounted what means that
 vfat should work. I had the same problem with the swap file a few weeks
 ago with an older andy kernel and i don't know what the problem is.
 
 There was a test report from a user stating that his uSD is unstable
 unless he lowers sd_clock. It might be a problem here, as well.

Ok, i will try if this helps at boot time.

 
 Openmoko-panel-plugin doesn't start anymore with an error message
 [3].
 
 That's because you use an old unfixed version of o-p-p that tries to
 read information about usb host power from /sys nodes that were
 changed. I think you can fix it yourself with the help of
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel#GTA02_.2Fsys_mappings_for_andy-tracking_vs_stable
 and suggest to o-p-p developers to be compatible with andy-tracking.

Sounds good.

 
 And the greatest problem i
 had was wlan. I could access the eth0 device and it shows all available
 wlan stations but i can't use my wpa2 protected wlan with wpa_supplicant
 anymore. Iwconfig showed that i should be connected to my wlan but i
 can't get an ip with dhcp anymore like with my old 2.6.24 kernel. The
 dhcp client always tries and after 6-7 dhcpdiscover it exits with no
 dhcp server available.
 
 That clearly looks as a regression. I think you should write in
 details what problems with wlan you experience along with
 wpa_supplicant debug output and relevant dmesg to the kernel mailing
 list, where it would (hopefully) be investigated. For me wlan with wpa
 (not wpa2) works just fine.

I hope i find much debug information and will mail it in the kernel list.

 This has changed in the last week.  It was taking me a great deal of
 time to switch between GTA02 and GTA03 kernel builds, so I changed the
 build script to use the O= kernel makefile parameter to keep the object
 files and configs for the builds in different subdirs.
 
 http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=aeb4db1b913993a3e06522f13bab79decbd3cdef
 
 This reduces the time needed to switch typically to just 10 - 20 seconds
 or so.  It requires the subdir name to be given in the first parameter
 as described in the changed build script.
 
 The optional dummy parameter to signal that you want a module tarball
 is then the second parameter now.  It sounds like the combination of the
 Wiki and the comments and error help in the build script led to you some
 kind of hybrid solution, but the idea is you would have a GTA02 subdir
 with suitable config and build that with ./build GTA02, while having a
 GTA03 subdir with different config and build that with ./build GTA03.

Thanks for this information. :)

So the right command line would be something like ./build GTA02 dummy
to find within the GTA02 directory the modules tar.gz afterwards.

But before i first run the build script i have to create the GTA02
directory by hand and copy the .config into it. Else the build script
doesn't find any .config and starts the console configuration of the kernel.

 I only care for userspace to be adapted to test the suspend/resume

 frameworkd newer than 31 Dec should properly support both kernels. I'm

 Actually, you can try to change from 2.6.24 after applying an ad-hoc
 patch from http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ticket/293 even on old

 You gave a parameter to the build script, so it should have installed
 the modules to the staging directory and made a file named
 modules$VERSION.tar.gz . Just scp it to your FR and untar to / .
 
That's what is also described on the wiki page but there is no modules
tar.gz file. I searched the whole linux-2.6 directory with all subdirs
without luck.

I did a ./build dummy again and i see that at some point it shows
Building modules, stage 2.. And after that all modules are listed with
extension *.ko which is correct. After i took a closer look i can see
that within dummy and all these other files are the wanted *.ko files.
But it doesn't exist any archive with all of them in it. Now i could
search for every *.ko file and extract it out of dummy, but i don't
think this is normal. :/

Could it be that i have to issue some command which produces the modules
tar.gz file?

When will kernel 2.6.24 be replaced by andy 2.6.28 kernel for better suspend/resume?

2009-01-05 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi all,

many mails i read in the kernel mailing list show that newer patches
should only be applied to andy-tracking kernel and no more to the old
2.6.24 om kernel.
Especially the suspend/resume behaviour seems to be a big problem with
the 2.6.24 kernel. I install about once a week a new 2.6.24 kernel in
debian but in the last few weeks the suspend behaviour didn't change
anymore.

I can suspend/resume for short periods within a few hours mostly without
problems. But as soon as i suspend/resume for a longer period like 12 or
more hours it doesn't work reliable. Many times i got a drained battery
after such a long suspend.
With every suspend/resume i log the battery loss to a text file which
shows that a suspend for such a longer time should be no problem, but it
fails about every second time.

I read that the suspend/resume behaviour in andy-tracking has been
reworked quite a bit. So i want to try the new kernels but at the moment
they are not 100% compatible with the userspace tools in the distros.
And there is no source for getting a recent 2.6.28 kernel with modules.
On [1] the kernel is only rarely updated and the modules package is
missing many times.

So the question is, when will the default kernel be replaced by the new
2.6.28 andy kernel so that userspace tools could be adapted to it?

The not working longer suspend/resume is for me the main problem at the
monent with my freerunner. :/

I hope this mail doesn't sound to pessimistic because i really love my
freerunner. But i think that the development of the new kernel would get
much more feedback if the normal user get the chance to try it without
compiling it himself. :)

Ciao,
 Rainer

Re: [FSO] Speed gps time to firxt fix up?

 The answer from Fox was to reinstall gpsd and not fso-gpsd and later he went

 this and struggled.
 
 Fox was also not on the FSO image, but on the Debian with FSO framework.
 Maybe he could
 do that but I am not (FSO image). I think bebause of Zhune.

Maybe you misunderstood me because i never said to reinstall gpsd and
not fso-gpsd. I only said that i was having a hard time with older
fso-gpsd but now it works quite good. And i said that you should be sure
not to have both installed at the same time.
Only fso-gpsd is useable when using the fso-framework. And we both use
fso-framework, you with fso-image and me with debian. And therefore the
principles for gps configuration are the same.

I hope we are now back to a common ground. :)

Re: [debian] navit: rendering is slow

 Hi there,
  
 But the problem is that the map is vry slow in 3D 
 mode. I tried it on my pc first and it needed ~5s to drag the 
 map from A to B. I think the problem is that in 3D mode navit 
 still shows all items on the map which results in overfilling 
 at the horizon. I attached a screenshot from my pc which 
 shows the problem.

 
 Don't forget that 3D support is really new, and still alpha ;) 
 There are probably a lot of optimizations that can be done, and will be in
 the next days.

Thats nice to hear.
Than i would suggest as one big imprrovement to implement a configurable
viewdistance for different things in 3D mode. So we can select to which
distance the items on the map like fuel stations, churches, etc are
shown. And also the longest distance to show the map itself would be
helpfull.

Keep up the really good work. :)

 Rainer
