Re: A Few Questions (Regarding images, wpa_supplicant, and core programs)

Thanks for the updates.

I'll probably switch to one of the newer kernel builds once om releases andy's 
gps kernel patch.

As for the Messages program taking a long time to load, this issue very well 
could have to do with accessing my SIM.  Is there a setting somewhere to only 
use in-phone memory and not use the SIM?  I already have my contacts imported 
into the evolution dataserver, so how can I force new contacts & text messages 
to NOT be saved on the SIM?

i am given to understand, that this is the intended behaviour.
in fact, the screen is rather sensitive and every slight tap causes it to  
light up, which consumes quite some power, i'd believe. so, with dim&lock  
after a while the fr goes into suspend awakening by pressing pwr only (or  
calls, tried yesterday).
otoh when in suspend with sim the fr keeps waking up (ir?)regularly -- and  
despite the battery icon showing about 50% my fr was discharged this  
morning (~8h sleep). don't know when the power went out.
after rebooting dim&lock does not work anymore (no suspend). instead it  
only dims.

the defconfig of wpa_supplicant 0.4.9 ()in those sources downloaded by  
mokomakefile, which not always seems to catch the newest ones) too had  
peap enabled. so either that is cahnged when building the official  
packages or there's more to it than just ther wpa_supplicant being  
capable. request for peap on fullblown computers i've seen frequently  
mention Xsupplicant as additional tool. i don't use peap (in fact, i don't  
even know what it does), so no help here.

I've not seen this, but I don't have many messages or contacts on the SIM.

Window manager has crashed. I've seen it a couple of times, but not spotted 
what causes it. You can ssh in and restart X, or reboot. It should be 
possible to restart the window manager from the terminal too, but I haven't 
worked out the command.

There were a number of kernel bugs which could cause problems during resume, 
making it something of a lottery. Most (all?) of these have been addressed in 
Andy's current kernel. I'm not sure if these have made it into the kernel 
used for the daily builds though. A kernel update is certainly worth a try.

mokomakefile builds 0.6.3-r1 so I would expect it to be in the daily builds 
too. I've not tried it with PEAP.

It's worth updating as some problems may have been fixed. If they haven't then 
your bug reports will at least be against the current version ;-) I'm using 
openmoko-devel-image build using mokomakefile with the matchbox keyboard, 
tangogps and minimo.

A Few Questions (Regarding images, wpa_supplicant, and core programs)

2008-07-15 Thread malane
Here are a few questions as I'm getting myself situation with the FreeRunner:

1. My Messages program seems to take forever to load text messages from a
contact.  Loading the list of contacts is great, and writing SMS to a contact
also works well, but when I click to view the list of all text messages received
(read texts), the program loads incredibly slow.

2. I'm also getting some bugs where my screen will lose it's "full screen"
effect (the AUX button's fullscreen toggle has no effect) and a mouse cursor
appears, and I'm unable to switch back to my Home program.

3.  Sometimes when power management is set on dim & lock, my phone will go
asleep and will not wake up.  I have to tap the power button to wake it up into
the lock screen, and thereafter my GSM will not work.

4. My wpa_supplicant is a bit old (0.5.5) and does not seem to provide PEAP
support.  I was told that a newer wpa_supplicant was compiled with PEAP support
(0.6.x I believe) but I cannot seem to update it from the repository.

Should I just be using a newer image?  Will that fix the majority of my
problems?  And if so, what image is popular (other than qtopia)?  I'd prefer to
use the 2007.2 build as I like how it looks.

Thanks!
