 The solution is to use a scheme where the blanking code and the
 application use a standard protocol to sync-up.
 
 AFAIK, there is such a protocol already (which is hopefully used by all
 tools like VLC, Xine, mplayer, totem, at least when in fullscreen
 mode).  So mokomaze should use it.  And the FSO side should also
 support it.

Part of the xdg-utils suite by freedesktop.org is the tool
xdg-screensaver. It provides a unified interface to control, especially
prevent, screen blanking. It comes with support for KDE, Gnome and Xfce.
It should be relatively simple to add support for FSO as well, and I
always had that in mind as a proper, FSO independent solution for
mokomaze. I just did not yet come around to do it. If someone else wants
to give it a shot, that would be great.

 In order to gauge interest and plan ahead wrt ordering
 Resistors/Capacitors I'd like to know how many phones would come. The
 party will probably take place in mid April.
 If you are interested and would show up please mail me privately and
 also tell me how many phones you would bring.
 
 If all goes well I'll be doing this with support from Openmoko and will
 be able to replace any Freerunners I break in the process.

I’d be very interested (even without OM blessing), if it will be
possible to send the device by mail.

Hi,

 I'd at least like to try to build an Etk gui for Pythm. Problem: I have 
 Debian running and don't really want to change that, so I'm wondering if 
 there are e17 widget lib(s) available for it. The minimal etk gui example 
 from the wiki doesn't work since the python module etk is missing.
 Zhone doesn't seem to be a usable example for this case since it does all its 
 gui using custom graphics (and is not too clearly arranged...).

libetk (the C library) itself is not packaged yet, although it is amost
finished, according to the pkg-e team. (I’ve been saying that for a
while now, right).

When that is done, the python bindings need to be packaged. Other python
e bindings are present, so it should not be difficult, but needs to be
done.

You are best adviced to (politely) tell the pkg-e team that you would be
interested in a python-etk package at
pkg-e-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org, maybe saying what you need it for,
asking if there is anything you can do to help, and thanking them for
their work. You know, in Free Software, motivation is the currency :-)

 * I will try to follow your how to if you have no time to do it.

Generally, it is not expected that every author of any software can
create proper Debian packages – after all, some work must be left for
Debian maintainers.

So if you think your package is out of the “I only need testers, but no
users yet”-stage, feel free to contact
pkg-fso-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org and tell us about your program, we
might package it for you.

If you want to make stuff easy for us, follow these also otherwise valid
rules:

 * If you use automake, use make dist to create release tarballs. Make
sure these contain everything. If you install additional data, make sure
they are properly installed by make install. 
 * If you package a python application or module, same thing applies,
only that you use ./setup.py sdist to create a tarball-
 * If your package is just files (e.g. shell scripts and data), just tar
them up and write in INSTALL where these should go.
 * Files in /usr/bin/ should not have endings like .sh or .py, these are
ugly when called from the shell and against Debian policy.
 * Put copyright and licensing statements in all source files, and
indicate where your icons are coming from and what license they are
under.

(this list is not exhaustive, but I’m tired, so that’s it for now :-)

Karlsruhe OpenMoko User Meet

2009-02-05 Thread Joachim Breitner
[ Summary in english: OpenMoko users meet in Karlsruhe, Germany. ]

Hallo allerseits,

nach der Terminkoordination per doodle laden wir nun alle interessierten
FreeRunner- oder Neo-Besitzer am
 Mittwoch, 11.2.2009, um 19:00
in die Räume des Entropia e.V. ein.

Das Ganze wird, so wie es aussieht, ein formloses Treffen zum Ideen- und
Erfahrungsaustausch sein. Wenn aber jemand Lust hat, ein bestimmtes
Thema etwas intensiver vorzustellen, ist das natürlich sehr willkommen.
Ich habe eine Wiki-Seite auf der Homepage des Entropia angelegt, wer
derartige Vorschläge hat, kann sie dort gerne eintragen.
https://entropia.de/wiki/OpenMoko_User_Meet

Informationen zur Örtlichkeit findet Ihr auf
https://entropia.de/wiki/Anfahrt

Wer bei der Gelegenheit seinen PGP-Key signieren möchte, darf gern ein
paar Fingerprints mitbringen.

Bei Problemen, den Raum zu finden, könnt ihr mich unter 0176 40229212
erreichen (wenn ich nicht gerade die SIM-Karte im FreeRunner und diesen
in einem nicht funktionsfähigen Zustand habe).

Bitte gebt das auch an andere OpenMoko-User in und um Karlsruhe weiter,
falls diese nicht die Mailingliste lesen.

Bis Mittwoch,
Joachim

 You will need to run it from a Linux computer with your Freerunner

 right-click the link to the installer.sh file and save it to your

 installer.sh. Then just run it in a terminal. It will go through
 several stages to partition and format your SD Card and then
 download and unpack the Debian distro onto it over the USB connection.

eh, this sounds dangerous. Please, run the install.sh script on your
FreeRunner, not on your PC.

This should do quite nicely, when run _on the FreeRunner_
$ wget http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/install.sh
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ ./install.sh
# Read and understand

 Yes, illume may be started on Debian now.
 No, it is not usable yet.
 
 Attempt to start it (by putting 'exec enlightenment_start' into 
 ~/.xsession) shows lots of issues:
 - font is tiny; attempt to enlarge it from setting dialog does not change 
 font in illume's title bar;
 - no applicatrion icons - can't start anything;
 - no keyboard.
 
 I'm seaching for helo from people familiar with illume on how to configure 
 it properly. Given information is found, I will probably be able to build 
 a ready-for-users package.

Thanks for taking care of that.

Note that although we currently have e17 in your (or pkg-fso’s)
repository, you should plan your modifications outside that package, as
we later want to be able to use the normal Debian package. I don’t know
anything about e17, but it should ideally be a separate package, or a
default configuration file installed by our installer into /root/.e*.

  --enable-avoid-float
  I think the first parameter to avoid floating point operations should
  help quite a bit on such a low performance system which has to do fp

 if it is indeed the one kazer had in mind. maybe it should be rather  
 configurable by config instead of hardcoding?
 and anyway it would be nice if configure could manage to enable those

actually, not by config but by looking at the hardware it runs on :-)

I don’t think it’d be inefficient if this check happens once at startup.
It’d increase the binary size, but that’d be ok for a general purpose
distro such as Debian.

But I see navit isn’t in the official Debian repositories yet, otherwise
I’d suggest you file a wishlist bug report. It would also be possible,
as an easiy solution, to set this flag depending on the architecture the
package is built for.

 Many thanks for your response.  Unfortunately I can't try that command
 now, because I've overwritten my SD card with hackable:1.  From
 memory, though, I'm 99% sure that my sources.list only contained
 Debian and the pkg-fso repository.  It is feasible that the e17
 packages came from pkg-fso?

our installer, by default, activates the experimental distribution, so
that’s probably where it came from.

Note that the e17 in Debian experimental is from before the Illume
features were added.

 the new Debian packages instead.
 
 But now, enlightenment_start bails with:

 From googling, it looks like I'm missing a package with name like
 evas-loader-png, which doesn't appear to be available in Debian yet,
 and I guess I just need to wait a bit longer for the packages to get

 Is that all correct?  Or is there another problem / solution here?

I don’t know the details, but in any case you might get more inforation

In fact, I have. I observed this when I was trying to modify the uBoot

provide a way to completely do the installation from on the device. But
after my changes, I have seen the problems that you have, so I wrote the
configure-uboot.sh script.

You can still see my work in the debian installer, by running
$ ./install.sh uboot
which runs the code (it is not normally run by ./install.sh all).

If it turns out that the reason was just pure accident (or something),
and not the fact that I was modifying from on the device, we could
enable this and make the Debian installation even easier.

Test reports appreciated!

Re: [u-boot] Environment garbled after setenv?

 I modified (shorten) your script for my needs and it works without 
 an error, although I haven't really got my end station. After flashing 
 environment with your script and then reading it back I see that 
 environment reflects the changes desired. But getting to u-boot console 
 shows me old env variables (printenv), and booting microSD card from NOR 
 menu actually invokes old menu_1 setting -- I can see that after ssh-ing 
 into the phone and seeing what's in /proc/cmdline. Strange.
 My modified script is in attachment in case you're curious.

Thanks. 

AFAIR, the NOR uboot and the NAND uboot don’t share the environment – is
that right?

But that the NAND env is not modified is strange. Did you try reading it
back after a reboot?

Thanks,
Joachim

All very valid, and of course it it more fun and gives you more power
over your program. But generally, it’s advisable to re-use existing code
– in this case, instead of re-coding the applications, it would have
been more beneficial to the general community to make sure that twitux

But that’s just my opinion, and again, don’t be discouraged by this.

  What are your thoughts about duplication of effort
 between the openmoko.org page and the debian.org page?  There's some
 duplicate copy now, but there is unique and valuable information both
 pages.

I’d prefer if the debian.org wiki contains only concise install
information and maybe important warning. Unrelated or general stuff
(e.g. how to make a backup) ought to be moved out to a subpage or the
openmoko wiki IMHO and only linked.

The openmoko wiki page seems (and that’s ok) more a place for discussion
and further (inofficial, or risky) hacks related to Debian. I think this
is a useful separation. The openmoko wiki page needs to be cleaned up
thoroughly, it seem, as it is large, confusing and has some outdated
information.

TIA,
Joachim

  Greetings,

 thanks :)

I looked a bit more at your project, and I have a few suggestions that
would make packaging it easier:

 * Please use a proper setup.py (using the python distutils) to 
   install your files into the proper locations. See 
   
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/openmoko-panel-plugin.git;a=blob;f=setup.py;h=d6056f95561b9a8f4f602fc968e0bc8e6ca7a18b;hb=HEAD
   as an example.
 * Using this setup.py, you can create proper and consistent tar-balls
   using ./setup.py sdist. Make sure that you set the version number
   corresponding, and check that all required files are included.

Given such a sdist-created tarball, one can easily make a
low-maintenance Debian package out of it, and also other distributions
can pick it up more easily than with an uncommon way of distribution
your software.

Additionally, while reading through your code, I’m wondering (please
don’t take this personally): Does TwitterMoko have any advantages over
existing projects such as twitux? What are it’s distinct features? Is
there a good reason to fork and launch curl for each access, passing all
parameters via the commandline and possibly not fully escaped, and
blocking on the output of curl, instead of using some asynchronous http
library directly?

Also, the config should be saved in, say ~/.twittermoko.cfg, instead of
a global place, and probably created with mode 660 (who knows, someone
might actually have a guest ssh login to his FreeRunner :-)

I hope this does not discourage you from working on TwitterMoko, but
give you some hints on how to improve it – but I think befor inclusion
in Debian, things have to evolve a litte bit.

Greetings,
Joachim

You can of course install Debian stable on your FreeRunner, but it won’t

 not sure if that's the way to go.
 
 It talks more about building an image on a desktop instead of
 applications on a freerunner.
 
 So, is there another way, or are the build instructions correct?

the Debian way of building something is always “on” the machine (so
either the FreeRunner, or an armel qemu image which might be faster).
There, you can just build the SHR apps using the regular
$ ./configure  make  make install
step.

I have started to package SHR for Debian, but it misses some
enlightenmen libraries that will be packaged by the pkg-e team
eventually, but just hasn’t been done yet.

 I was running Xglamo at the time, so I had modified xorg.conf to point
 to Xglamo as the display device.

I thought Xglamo does not need any xorg.conf? But maybe that’s just
rumors.

 However, something happened that
 screwed that up, both for Xglamo as well as fbdev.  Right now neither
 will work.
 
 In fact, it's rather strange.  If I start xinit manually after setting
 TSLIB_TSDEVICE, it works:
 
 $ export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
 $ /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/Xsession
 
 However, when I run it in a fashion similar to /etc/init.d/nodm, it
 fails:
 
 $ /bin/su --login --command /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/Xsession root
 
 This is despite putting the export command in .bashrc and verifying that
 it's set.  I even tried verifying that it was getting TSLIB_TSDEVICE:
 
 $  /bin/su --login --command printenv root
 [...]
 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
 
 However, it still fails to work.
 
 I removed and then reinstalled xserver-xglamo, and the error messages
 changed, but it still does not work.

This is the original xorg.conf, as installed by the install.sh script:

# Xorg confiugration for an Openmoko FreeRunner
Section InputDevice
Identifier  Configured Touchscreen
Driver  tslib
Option  CorePointer   true
Option  SendCoreEventstrue
Option  TslibDevice   /dev/input/event1
Option  Protocol  Auto
Option  Width 480
Option  Height640
EndSection

Section Device

You still have problems with that file? Anything interesting in the X log file?

Nice. Is your git tree publicly available?

 For the purposes of the Debian package, are you happy to have this included
 from your own branch in the Debian Git repository, or would it be less
 complicated if I did a new upstream release with the HDAPS stuff?

I’d prefer to wait for a new upstream release – I try to avoid having a

perfectly fine if you’ll just release it whenever you would have
released anyways.

Nice program. What are you going to use as a toggle? AUX-Key?

 I have traced it down to TSLIB_TSDEVICE no longer getting set.  If I

 I am running X as a normal user, but the same happens when reverting

 Hmmm...mooing when tilted either way makes more sense for something
 like a phone than for a laptop.  If you decide this doesn't feel
 right, feel free to revert this when using the Thinkpad driver (not
 that you need any permission for that, of course).  When you're happy
 with the Thinkpad support, could you send me a patch to for the next
 version?  (If a new version is ever necessary...).

I took this as an encouragement to hack slightly on your code, so I did
a slightly larger modification. The diff is here:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/openmoocow.git;a=commitdiff;h=6c2116a1df2bb5ff54754f87fc8eb216fe355dd2

And the patch comment is
“Slight refactorization: The decision, whether a moo should happen, is
moved to the driver-specific code (because it knows best what kind of
device to expect). A member “state” is added to the accel struct which
can be used to implement a state machine inside the driver (as was done
before with pos).”

One could probably change the -1000 and 1000 values in the freerunner
driver now to 0 and 1, to indicate the two states (upside down or not),
but I didn’t want to be too intrusive :-)

I have attached the complete diff against your release.

this is not a full backtrace, the important bit is missing at the end
(the exception).

 After the system is up, I can successfully start openmoko-panel-plugin
 manually.

Yesterday I uploaded a version (0.6-2.1) with a crude hack to hopefully
avoid this – please try again with that.

 2) Scrolled of the right edge
 
 Once started manually, I can only see the leftmost 1 or two icons.  The
 others are off the right side of the screen.  I notice if I change the
 panel size to the smallest (16) I see almost all of them, but still
 seems to clip off the right, but at this size, its too small to be
 useful.  Perhaps the width is not being calculated correctly?
 
 I also notice that when I added wicd for wireless, which adds another
 icon, it pushed openmoko-panel-plugin icons further to the right.
 
 Here's the package I'm working with:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache showpkg openmoko-panel-plugin

Maybe the notification area applet in your xfce-panel is just too far to
the right?

It really was just a crude hack that made it work for me. I’m assuming
you’ll want a proper fix for handling not-yet-existing resources or dbus
names in the release.

do you have FAT as your /boot partition? It turned out that that is a
bad idea when managing the kernel with dpkg. You can either
 * Reformat it as ext2, adjust /etc/fstab, adjust uBoot env and
re-install kernel package
 * Remove the kernel package and manually download and install your
kernels.

Hi,

Am Mittwoch, den 12.11.2008, 18:29 -0800 schrieb photonmedia:
 I really appreciate all the work and suggestions on this project. This panel
 makes a great addition to zhone and almost eliminates the need to have any
 additional panels running (such as fbpanel or gnome-panel) for normal phone
 usage.
 
 One question, is there an easy way via gui or .conf file to adjust the size
 of the panel. I have fat fingers and the icons are a bit small for me to hit
 without grabbing a stylus. If the panel was say, 40p tall then I think it
 would be a bit more accessible. Thats the size I currently have fbpanel set
 to.

check the manpage for trayer and adjust /root/.xsession (assuming you
are not running zhone-session any more).

[debian] “Official” installer revision now always in git

2008-11-10 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

just a quick announcement from the Debian folks. Because we continually
improve the installer script, it turned out to be most useful if
everyone uses the latest version. Therefore, the official place to get
the source is now
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=blob_plain;f=install.sh

The old URL at http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/install.sh
can still be used (it might be easier to type if you can’t copy’n’paste,
and wget will save it under a nice name), as it’s just a redirect to the
URL mentioned above.

Notable changes are:
  * The use of the general auto-login script “nodm” instead of
zhone-session. Session configuration can now be done by
modifying /root/.xsession.
  * Device independent frameworkd and accompanying configuration
packages. If apt-get upgrade breaks your FreeRunner, try to run
apt-get install fso-config-gta02
  * openmoko-panel-plugin installed by default (running in trayer),
to provide keyboard toggle and device control.
  * The use of the packaged kernel instead of wget/tar. To get this
going, run apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02

Most of these are due to Luca “Gismo” Capello’s great work.


Greetings,
Joachim

 The installer-script is right, too: the directory mentioned does not

Without knowing what goes wrong, try this unreleased version of the
installer:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=blob_plain;f=install.sh;h=HEAD;hb=HEAD

It will install the kernel from a Debian package (and not with
wget/tar), maybe then your problem does not occur.

 This is a really nice feature but it collides with the zhone power
 button behaviour. When i run zhone and press the power button for 2s my
 fr goes into suspend just a tick after it displays your new menu. After
 i resume it still shows your menu and goes into suspend a second time.
 After i shortly press power again it resumes and stays on while still
 showing your menu. Don't know why it goes into suspend again after the
 first resume.
 So maybe it would be good to show your suspend/shutdown window after a
 short press and not a 2s press?
 For this button there is no problem with accidential pressing so i think
 we need no time delay.

This will go away once milestone4 is out, as then zhone will suspend
upon a very short press, but not after a longer press.

One could argue that zhone should not do suspend at all if
openmoko-panel-plugin is installed. We could do that in Debian as a
specific change if it is wanted

 seems i have to subscribe to pkg-fso-maint, too, since a lot of messages  
 i'd expect in smartphone-userlands or even community/[EMAIL PROTECTED] are 
 posted  
 only there.
 that means i got 5 or 6 ml now just to cover the freerunner ...

I know, and I don’t like the situation either. Some important mails are
only sent to one list, other discussions are cross-posted to more than
one list and every second mail I read I have read twice.

I consider pkg-fso to be strictly related to Debian _packaging_ issues.
In that sense, the mail was sent appropriately (as it was a request for
inclusion in Debian), but a separate release-announcement for the
general audience to smartphone-userland would have been good, I guess.

But I think this stuff will settle after a while. At least I don’t think
that adding or removing mailinglists, or putting up written (and soon
outdated) guidelines helps.

But yes, every user of Debian on the FreeRunner is invited to join
pkg-fso if they want to know about the issues we have, about new
developments etc.

Re: new numptyphysics for freerunner is out

Hi,

 Hi all, Numptyphysics, this great physics drawing game, is reborn!
 (http://www.opkg.org/package_3.html)
 There are not yet new upstream release, but there are lots of new
 things in svn-repository. So we can now play numptyphysics0.2-svn109
 on our Freerunners. (Tested with Debian and Fdom).
 
 upstream news:  (https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=638)
 -newer physics engine (Box2d v2.0.1 http://www.box2d.org)
 -scalable window with commandline parameters (so every platfrom will
 use same datafiles)
 -faster drawing
 -more levels
 -action replays
 
 port news:  ( http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/freerunner/numptyphysics/ )
 -onSceenKeyboard (control-panel)
 -action replays removed (doesn't yet work correct with freerunner)
 -NextLevel-dialog-overlay is non-draggable (so clicking it is easier)
 
 
 Summa summarum:
 Game can be played landscaped, without keyboard and it uses same
 datafiles than any other numptyphysics-port.

are there plans to merge these changes to upstream Numptypythings
somehow (e.g. by somehow detecting if the input method is a graphics
tablet/touchscreen)? If not, what would be an appropriate package name
of your port for Debian (where the “regular” numptyphysics might end up
some day as well). Maybe numptyphysics-keyboardless?

Re: [debian/zhone] Start up customization

2008-10-29 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

Am Mittwoch, den 29.10.2008, 19:20 + schrieb Neil Jerram:
 As they stand, I don't believe the zhone startup files support user
 customization.  Such as (in my case) starting up fbpanel and
 openmoko-panel-plugin.  Of course, you can change conf files under
 /etc, but then you'll have a conflict to resolve on next upgrade.
 
 I think what could work is
 - in /etc/init.d/zhone-session, don't pass $PROG_FSO to /etc/X11/Xsession
 - instead, drop a file into /etc/X11/Xsession.d which would set
 STARTUP to zhone-session if not already set; this would come after the
 file that looks for ~/.xsession.
 
 Then a user can customize the startup by creating a .xsession which
 ends with running zhone-session.
 
 So (i) does that sound good, and (ii) if so, who should I send a patch to?

what you describe has already happend, ans is renamed to “nodm” (for no
display manager). It is basically zhone-session, with all zhone-specific
parts removed. And it does indeed just start ~/.xsession (if no desktop
environment is installed), where the installer puts the default zhone
startup.

to switch, just run (via ssh, because it will kill your X server)
apt-get --purge remove zhone-install
apt-get install nodm
and put a suitable session in ~/.xsession

 zhone 
 exec matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no -use_cursor no
 
 and works well.  (I'm not sure what the matchbox-keyboard-toggle was
 for in the old /usr/bin/zhone-session; is that what made the AUX
 button toggle the keyboard?  Anyway, if you use openmoko-panel-plugin,
 you get a keyboard popup button, so don't need the AUX button as
 well.)

Yes, it was just that, keyboard pop up on AUX

 And a vaguely related tip: as a terminal I recommend xfce4-terminal
 rather than xterm, as it has scrollbars that can be operated with only
 left click, and also a nicer default font.

Thx for the tip. Note that it has some dependencies that not everyone
might want (gtk stuff, xfce stuff), so it’s not suitable as a default.

One could however evaluate other terminal emulators, like
rxvt-unicode-lite, wterm, xvt (very small!). Volunteers?

 How can I make it auto-suspend?

Does FSO auto-suspend? If so, since what version?

Generally, we try not to diverge too much from the FSO image, so if
there are problems with Debian that are also present in FSO, then they
probably ought to be tackled there first.

thanks for your suggestions. The installer, as it currently sits in git,
will install and run trayer (a minimal system tray) and

Re: Debian installer internal error

Hi,

 I tried four times to install debian on a 2GB SD. I installed once a working 
 fine debian but I've broken the SD card. Now I get always this error:

 E: Internal error: install
 
 Exists something i could do?

thanks for trying out Debian. I quote the FAQ from
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner:

During the debian stage of the install, what does E: Internal error:
install mean and how do I fix it? 

  * One possible cause is a problem with the armel packages in
Debian. Check /mnt/debian/var/log/bootstrap.log for dependency
problems or the like. 

  * If corrupt packages appear, then it might be related to the
microSD card used in the installation, as explained in the
discussion at the smartphones-standards. Other information are
available in the upstream bug. 

So please check the bootstrap.log, it might help you on.

Ask on the enlightenment mailing lists what help they need for pushing

 Alternatively, is there any workaround?  Preferably one that's not too

Thanks for testing.

 I have updated this morning, and I have some problems:

It worked OK on fso-m2 (sometimes, I received a number instead of
the text of the SMS).

It’s strange, I have it some times as well, some times not. It needs to
be determined yet if that bug is Debian-introduced or already in the
fso-m2 code.

  - Sometimes, zhone do not want to suspend after 2 sec power buttun
because it do not received the event.  On fso-m2, I restart
frameworkd and zhone, and It works after.  Now, when I do that, I
lost the contact list.

Not sure what’s happening here. Error messages from zhone or frameworkd
might be useful.

  - I cannot downgrade to fso-m2 because it is not in the archive
now.  I need SMS to use the FR as a phone.

Yes, we need to sort that out somehow, that old versions are not
deleted. One can of course still compile it from git, as the versions
are tagged.

 else, it works well, and fso-gpsd work fine.

Nice to hear that,

 Differenciating between suspend and shutdown is terribely hard. I almost 
 never get the thing to sleep because i fear i would press power too long

 If i shut it down by pressing the power button long, it ussually 
 indicates shutdown (nice animation btw) but then goes into suspend. Both 
 events suspend and shudown where triggered.
 Then i have to press power again to wake it up to let it finish shutdown.

I have just created a patch that gives zhone visual feedback when
suspending.

This will, in that order highlight four bars on the screen: “keep
pressed”, “let go”, “suspending” and “waking up”. They are highlighted
when the user pushes down POWER, when he has pushed it for one second,
when he releases it in time and when the phone wakes up.

This also has the effect that keeping it pressed for more than three
seconds it will _not_ suspend, as to not interfere with a shutdown or
restart triggered by the Altr-Ctrl-Del sent this way.

I’ll soon submit that for inclusion, so maybe that problem will be
resolved as well.

From what I’ve seen while coding the GUI (which is commited now), I
think the reason why there is a timeout is that if there is not, the
POWER press that you use to wake up the phone will be detected again...

milestone3 available in Debian

2008-09-11 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

tonight we have packaged the new versions of zhone and frameworkd and
adjusted the (slightly improved) installer script to install the FSO
milestone3 kernel.

So if you are running Debian already, you get the new stuff by running
apt-get update; apt-get -u upgrade

If you are not yet running Debian, you can follow the instructions on
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner

That said, I didn’t very thoroughly test the new versions, so it might
be that you stumble upon stupid mistakes from me. Please let us know (at
the smartphone-userland[1] mailing list, where most Debian related
discussion take place) if you find any.

Besides these new versions you might be interested to hear that remoko
and pypennotes have been packaged for Debian, and fso-gpsd makes sure
all gpsd-using applications (such as tangogps) work also. We still don’t
have Illume, as we are still waiting for new Enlightenment libs being
released and packaged for Debian.

Joachim

 Ok, I got your program working (a bit, Debian users see [1]),
 and now I
 understand what you need the remoko-server for: It's not
 something that
 runs permanently, or as a system daemon, but it's a helper
 that you run
 to do stuff you can't do in python, right?
  It runs permanently, the server is responsible for send all the keys
 to the remote device, in the future it will be like a daemon (I hope
 in BlueZ) .

But at the moment, you start it from remoko, and you kill it in remoko.
What would the advantage be if remoko-server runs permanently?

If you really need a server, then please make it listen on a unix socket
(e.g. in /var/run) so that unix file permissions can control access
(plus it’s slightly faster).

 
 Is this code in the subversion? If not, you run the risk that
 other
 people will start to hack on the older, published code which
 will cause
 troubles when merging.
  
 All the code is in the SVN, but was I said, I have a incomplete
 setup.py and two static path in remoko_conf and remoko_server :) 

Ok, I worked around these in
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/remoko.git;a=summary (it’s svn-git
based, my changes are in the debian branch). 


 About the error that you say that make the application crash, can you
 give me details on it ?

I didn’t check really yet, but if it’s something that’s not caused by
me, I’ll let you know :-)

 The enlightment errors in the keyboard are probably because you don't
 have the last E packages, raster developed the keyboard pop up method
 (that I'm using) in middle of august.

Hmm, it would be good if remoko works with other window managers as
well, so it should handle it gracefully if this extension is not
present. Maybe I’ll have a patch for that too, later.

 Om 2008.8 the qtopia keyboard will appear, in FSO the E keyboard
 appear and so on, the extension pop-up any vkb present in the system,
 if you don't have a vkb the program don't crash but you can't
 configure keys or use the keyboard profile. You have a better
 suggestion for that ?

Well, just to make it easy for Debian, until we have the latest libs, I
applied this patch:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/remoko.git;a=blobdiff;f=remoko/remoko;h=f7cdc95bfab86f2e1946daf7c4f6c332f7e6106d;hp=9ecddfef4124e95aeded37cf3e390a589af50dfb;hb=2e969b0985544f324877d06ceba8c5de797ac6a6;hpb=1d988ea1efd08b3a17a7e7f7e5348354d10d74df
It should not break it for anyone else, but makes it usable for us. At
least as an work-around until the function is present.

Now it works nicely here, thanks! And feel free to steal some of the
patches :-)

Joachim

Ok, I got your program working (a bit, Debian users see [1]), and now I
understand what you need the remoko-server for: It’s not something that
runs permanently, or as a system daemon, but it’s a helper that you run
to do stuff you can’t do in python, right?

To avoid having different packages for that, and possibly opening
security holes by using TCP, I’d recommend to pack that functionality in
a C file and include that in your python process using cython. This is
what the zhone developers did to do some stuff that python can’t
(modifying X window atoms).

 Yes, I already made more code, but right now I don't have time and
 concentration until I finish my last exam (16 Set)  :(

Is this code in the subversion? If not, you run the risk that other
people will start to hack on the older, published code which will cause
troubles when merging.

 It's pretty strange that you gen a missing accelneo.h as the file is on SVN.
 The latest version is on SVN.
 Do you still have problems with missing accelneo.h?

Sorry for not being clear: I did not try to compile directly from the
svn checkout. Instead, I have built a release tarball with make dist,
but this tarball does not work because it is missing some files, e.g.
accelneo.h. There is a way to tell automake what files to include in a
release tarball, but I don’t know a lot about automake yet. 

Having a working make dist is not really critical, but it’s a sign of
good automake packaging, and it allows you to easily create release
tarballs. Also, make distcheck is useful. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/automake/Dist.html if you are
interestd in that.

 Glad you're asking. I'm definitely thinking on continuing this
 project, and as you said I'm thinking in turning it to a proper
 program.
 That's why I've bought accelsense.org, exactly for this purpose. Once
 I have everything set up on accelsense.org, I'll move the code there
 on git.
 And maybe other members would like to contribute.
 I'll add your items from the above list to the TO-DO list. Just that
 right now I don't have time to work on it, at least not this month.
 I'm also doing an internship in Slovenia that's why I'm that busy.

Glad to hear that. May I suggest that you set up the git repository
earlyier, so that people can start hacking on their branches until you

While I’m at it, here are some packaging related suggestions:

 * Check for the existence of your dependencies in configure. E.g. I
could run configure without having libbluetooth2-dev installed, only to
have “make” fail.
 * Please install everything using automake, including configuration
etc. This avoids duplication and diversion between accelges_svn.bb, the
Debian packaging and other distros.
 * Do not install files with an ending “.sh” in the path. This is
against Debian policy, and ugly as well :-)
 * Do you really need the various -neo2.sh, -neo3.sh wrappers? Why not
have one wrapper that reads cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Hardware?
 * You install the acceleration data into /etc in your bb recipe. This
is uncommon for binary data. If it’s data that is going to be modified
by programs while running, it should go to /var/lib. Or better, put
distributed files in /usr/share and create additional data in /var/lib. 

I guess that’s quite a large list. But I think it’s what turn a private
project into a proper program.

 a ReMoko package with ability to send events through gestures (Paul's

I have had a look into packaging ReMoko for Debian. Here are some issues
that you might want to look into, to make ReMoko easily packagable.

 * The setup.py could be improved. Have a look at [1], how I did this
for zhone’s setup.py. 
 * It would be great if you could provide “official” source tarballs of
your release. setup.py helps you with the sdist command, but you need to
tell it what files it should include. Again, you can have a look at how
Jan Lübbe did that for zhone at [2].
 * Your configuration module just looks for “settings.cfg”, without
specifying a path. Something like sys.env['HOME'] + settings.cfg might
be more sensible.
 * The server source looks good, “make dist” produces a sensible
tarball. You might want to change the product name and version number in
configure.ac though.
 * What exactly is the server for? It seems it listens on a tcp socket
for commands, which is connected by the UI to send the events over
bluetooth. Why don’t you bind to the 127.0.0.1 IP address? Why don’t you

I think it would be great to have a remoko Debian package, but there is
some work left. Are you going to continue remoko development, now that
GSoC is over?

 Is there an overview with prerequsist and pro/con of each in wiki?
 How should I decide which distro could be my one?

Let me comment on Debian. It’s not really a distro (in the Openmoko
speak) of it’s own, but a different underlying system for openmoko
distros. At the moment, we ship the software from the FSO stack, but
hopefully we’ll also have, for example, the Stable Hybrid Release
software in our archive.

So for now, Debian is a different way of installing FSO, which takes
more space and provides more programs :-)

 Something like first a selecting if you boot the flash or the card, and
 later wich partition in the card you boot.
 
 Have I explained me?

It should be possible by doing the partitioning yourself, and then
configuring the uboot enviroment to your liking. For each uboot menu
entry, you can decide where the kernel should be loaded from, and what
partition the kernel should use as the root partition. This gives you
all options, I think.

That’s basically what pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org is for. At least for

We are also welcoming anyone else to create packages for the repository,

Re: Debian on the FreeRunner -- now official

 It is not clear to me what's the real difference between emdebian and
 what you have done, as I know very few about emdebian after all.
 
 Just to get some clarification... but very good job, thank you.

The url is very creative: http://www.emdebian.org/ :-)

emdebian, AFAIK, does
 * provide cross-compilation
 * reduces package size by removing documentation
 * changes some compile options to further reduce package size
The last point makes it, in corner cases, problematic to mix with the
official archive. Also, emdebian does not cover all of the archive yet.

At the moment, emdebian does not support python, because python seems to
be hard to cross-compile, therefore we base our system for FreeRunner on
the official Debian for now. 

Eventually, when emdebian can run all the apps that we need (well,
python should be the only problem), it will also be able to run the
FreeRunner specific package, which by then are in the official archive.
I’m sure someone, maybe us, maybe the emdebian guys will provide an
installer or image based on emdebian. This will give users the choice
between the two.

I hope that clarifies some points.

I oppose a split. There are already too many lists, and it’s hard to
draw a clear separation between them.

And with distributions it’s not clear either. Some bugs or ideas,
although discovered on 2008.8, apply also to FSO. Debian, for example,
is just another base running FSO, so most Debian related mails are also
FSO related. With exception of those by people running xfce. Unless, of

Quite strange, my Freerunner stays reliably in sleep (unless someone
calls and I don’t notice, of course), and consumes only a reasonable
amount of power – about what Timo reported in the “29 hours in suspend
= 70% battery left” thread.

I use the kernel from 2008-08-05 (too lazy to upgrade). What’s yours?

Greetings,
Joachim

Re: New tslib xsrelease with right click

Hi,

 there is a new upstream release in the debian repository. so here is a
 new package with the right click by tap+hold patch. it can be downloaded
 from http://www.ohli.de/download/xserver-xorg-input-tslib_0.0.5-1
 +fso1_armel.deb . you also have to change your pointercal file because
 the package is now based on the new debian package. just download it
 from http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/pointercal-fso and save
 it to /etc/pointercal .

Note that this is the same pointercal file shipped with the debian
installer, so you only have to use that if you were using Sebastian’s
tslib driver before. If you install it for the first time,
your /etc/pointercal should be fine.

Joachim

Re: More posts to Planet Openmoko

Hi,

 Hi people!
 
 Just want to remind you that there is http://planet.openmoko.org/ available.
 
 As far as I know, it's meant for community to share their blog posts
 about openmoko, neo, freerunner. Maybe even qtopia and debian on
 freerunner.
 
 Too bad that there are not that many posts: I know that people are
 blogging about freerunner and software for it so why not add your feed
 to the planet and get more readers.
 
 I have no idea how to do it but I'm sure someone will let us know soon..

such a project planet can be used in two ways: For all posts, even
non-openmoko or non-technical, from members of the community, for the
community spirit, or only for on-topic posts. planet.debian.org for
example has the former policy. And there ought to be a language policy
(english only, or anything)

Anyways, I’d be interested to join.

Greetings,
Joachim
