Re: [debian] installation
I recently tried to reinstall Debian with a FAT partition. I got errors indicating Debian (kernel?) couldn't be installed that way. (This didn't happen when I had originally installed some time ago.) Anyway, I tried again with ext2 on both partitions and got the recursive white-screen and reboot. Updating my NAND fixed that. Debian now works but I see a Python exception when running Zhone (seems to be a known problem).

auxlaunch ver 0.6
Hello, Here's info on an update to auxlaunch, (finger-friendly app launcher and window switcher). Download at [1] and wiki page at [2]. Version 0.6 changes include: - New '-noaux' option as alternative to claiming the AUX button. - At startup, if another auxlaunch instance is running, signal it (to appear) then exit current instance. - Use rc file in user's home directory. - Use fork and execvp to launch apps. - Bug fix: mode now set to WIN on gaining focus. - Started using version control (at http://code.google.com/p/auxlaunch/). - Removed pesky /r's. (Thanks to Timo for the alert.) - DMS: Shortened 'Applicatons' to 'Apps'. Comments and patches always welcome. Many thanks to Joachim nomeata Breitner, chrysn, and ben for their contributions and advice.

Re: Survey about the Touchscreen
IMHO having to dig out a stylus (pen) or use my fingernail is not nearly as convenient or enjoyable as a finger-friendly interface. I don't min hi res or low res - or big or small screen size - as long as the interface is finger-friendly. The cell phone is our most intimate personal device.

Re: [Debian] Auxlaunch
Ben, sorry for the delay in responding to your message. Thank you for
testing Auxlaunch - it really helps. Also, I apologize for the DMS error. My
code to parse the DMS files wasn't robust enough! I hope the latest version,
at least, avoids the error but skips the entry.
I integrated your code changes for hiding Auxlaunch (uses -hide option).
However, for me, it seems to loose track of whether it was displayed or not.
Are you finding that it launches applications underneath the Auxlaunch
window?
I had also been thinking about a way to implement some type of menus as
you've suggested. So, there's a new feature to allow for groups. It is
just basic functions for now (one level, no custom icons).
The big change is the move to a single, top-level, go button. There just
wasn't enough room for three, individual top-level buttons.
I've update the wiki page and made ver 0.5 available for download. Please
let me know what you think. Thanks again,
- aliasid
PS - I think the screenshots show Auxlaunch attached to
openmoko-panel-plugin because I'm using the matchbox window manager in
fullscreen mode with no title bars.

Hi,
thx again Aliasid, but I've got troubles with DMS :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./auxlaunch -dms
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ./auxlaunch, line 246, in module
auxl = AuxLaunch(sys.argv)

File ./auxlaunch, line 228, in load_from_dms
app[pair[0]] = pair[1].strip('')
IndexError: list index out of range
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
And I'm asking if the most interesting way is not to create a
middle-hand for a special menu (configured in .auxlaunchrc).
For exemple, on window :
- left-hand == choice of menu
- middle-hand == app of the menu
- right-hand == switcher
And put in .auxlauchrc, something like :
M1=System App,/opt/myicons/system_apps.png,
M2=Games,/opt/myicons/games.png,
M3=System Fonctions,/opt/myicons/system_fonctions.png,
M1,XTerm,xterm,/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm-color_32x32.xpm,
M1,Rox,rox,/usr/share/rox/images/dirs.png,
M2,codebreaker,codebreaker,/opt/myicons/codebreaker.png,
M3,Suspend,apm -s,gtk-media-pause,
M3,Cancel,(cancel),gtk-cancel,
M3,Quit,(quit),gtk-quit,
Is it possible ? Maybe the 3 divisions will be too much ? And if the
name of the top button division is under the icon ?
I really don't know how to make that, sorry ..
Otherwise I've made a patch for AUX hide/unhide (thx
matchbox-keyboard-toggle) c.f. patch-auxlaunch_hide
Sorry if the code is horrible I really never code in PyGTK and haven't
a lot of time for it, but that works.

Ben, thank you for your comments! I just finished adding a command
line option (-dms) to add launch items from the Debian Menu
System. (Note that it only uses DMS entries that specify
needs=x11.)
Also, I made changes based on your suggestions. I added a -right
command line option to swap the button columns. And, I added code to
attempt full-screen mode. (I'm not sure this works since I run the
Matchbox window manager where every window is full-screen). The AUX
button currently unhides Auxlaunch. I'll investigate causing it to
also hide Auxlaunch. As always any input is welcome!
The top level icons (keyboard activiate, battery level, etc) are
displayed by the really cool openmoko-panel-plugin (see link
below). It is a very helpfull tool. Besides power and GSM status, it
shows/hides the keyboard and controls Bluetooth, GPS, and USB. It is
essential in Debian, IMHO. I think there's now a Debian package to
help install it.

Is there a way to :
- use right-hand entry for making a menu switcher
- making defaults sizes when auxlaunch starts (fullscreen-like ?)
- use aux botton for hide/unhide auxlaunch
and how to get your top level icones (gsm info/battery level/etc)

Re: Back to the basics: improving user experience
As a user that switches between Debian, Qtopia, and om2008, I urge you to focus on improving areas that could benefit all distributions. I don't understand the technical dependencies, but I get the impression that Lorn and the Debian folks rely on some form of Openmoko development. Just as an example, suspend/resume continues to be a problem for me across all three distros. Also, the point someone made about working on stuff that's restricted under NDA seems valid.

Qtopia questions
Hi, I'm using Qtopia on my new Freerunner and enjoying the software and the hardware. Please excuse the noob questions below. They're sincere and aren't meant to incite debate. My apologies if these have been answered already. 1. Are there plans to maintain ongoing development/support of regular (non-X) Qtopia for the Freerunner? Or, will developers shift focus to work on the Qtopia-on-X (ASU?) distributions? 2. Will fixes move back and forth between regular Qtopia and Qtopia-on -X (ASU) in the future? 3. Can I realistically use Python to develop apps for Qtopia? (I see Python...Yes on the Distributions page, but I don't find much when using Google.) What I'm trying to ask is: Is Python used frequently and easily? 4. Is the model for Qtopia open-source, but managed by Trolltech-Nokia? That is, do outside developers submit changes to standard Qtopia?
