Hi

I have just a question to clarify the installation process from scratch. I
am now flashing my freerunner with the image and rootfs from qte 4.4.3 (
http://dashi-x02.karadog.net/~lihouyu/qtextended/4.4.3/qt-extended-4.4.3-rootfs.jffs2AND
http://dashi-x02.karadog.net/~lihouyu/qtextended/4.4.3/testing-om-gta02-20090120.uImage.bin)

Then I will boot on my qte and activate the ssh connection with internet
sharing

Sould I download the tar
qte_20090427.tgzhttp://www.e-dynamics.be/openmoko/qte_20090427.tgzand
just extract it (could you give the tar command line please ?)
OR should I use the script ?

Thanks in advance

 New location for the files, watch out!

 (install instructions and script updated on 2090427: see below)

 Problems solved:
 
 See http://www.e-dynamics.be/openmoko/qt-issues-fixed.txt

 Latest:

 - 20090427: backspace key added to the keyboard, made the keyboard
 faster in non predictive mode
 - qpe.sh startup script adapted to correct for bluetooth patchs
 differences in 2.6.24 and 2.6.28 kernels. But for the moment, openmoko
 doesn't provide the bluez3 package anymore, so no bluetooth at all for
 new installs for now

 See http://github.com/liedekef/qtmoko/commits/master for the changes

 Problems found (more like small nuisances now):

 See http://www.e-dynamics.be/openmoko/qt-issues.txt

 Install instructions:
 =
 download the script
 http://www.e-dynamics.be/openmoko/openmoko_install.sh , read the comments
 at the top and then execute the script on your openmoko (after having
 flashed the device and made sure internet works).
 For those who just want to replace their existing QtE: just download
 the QtE compressed file and replace your existing QtE with it:

 Enjoy!

Well, I personally don't use 2.6.24 kernels anymore, but my install
script is still valid.
But indeed, doing it yourself is ok as well, since you use karadogs
image as a base.
The commands:

rm -rf /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/*
cd /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia
wget http://www.e-dynamics.be/openmoko/qte_20090427.tgz
gzip -dc qte_20090427.tgz|tar xvf -
rm qte_20090427.tgz

bye now,

Thanks for the reply. You said Well, I personally don't use 2.6.24 kernels
anymore, but my install. Why so ? Is there a better kernel to use ?

Another question : i heard there are many different version (based on FSO or
based on Debian). Is there a webpage with all the different versions, and a
comparison to help choosing among them ?

I have juste tested the command lines you gave (thx !), and it worked well.

Btw, should I use exactly the same command lines when a new version arrives
? (i think so, but just a confirmation)

Thanks again

 read the archives ... and the beginning of my install script: I use a
 2.6.28 kernel from April 4th (but then: no bluetooth ..)

Franky,
Thanks for all your hard work! Do you think it would be a good idea to 
adapt your script to upgrade installations? what I mean is that you 
could pass an option to the script and it would only upgrade the qt 
install and then apply relevant fixes (keyboard, prediction, etc), and 
not everything else that would not be needed for an upgrade (opkg stuff, 
fixing /etc/network, others). If that sounds good I will try to adapt 
your script to do that and then report it back to you for approval

Tom

well, it's not really intended for that (in the hopefully
not-so-distant future only jffs2 files will be generated), but a
simple commandline option doesn't harm ... something like just the
word upgrade as option, nothing complicated.
I don't think it'll change much in time though (since the opkg
commands won't do anything anymore). But hey, ok :-)
