 Hi everyone,
 
 I recently flashed an image created by Raster (from a recent version of
 the ASU dev tree but with his modifications...most noticably the
 keyboard is changed to a modified version of the illume keyboard...and
 very works very well!)

I just tried to install it on the µSD Card, following the indications
from http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Boot_from_sd_card. 

I'm running into a quite serious problem when I try to boot it : I'm
getting a Enlightenment SEGved... followed by qpe process
vanished The crash window is nice enough to offer me to press F1 or
F2 though...

I installed the files from http://download.enlightenment.org/misc/. It's
my first attempt at installing something on the µ SDcard so maybe I did
something wrong there. Any ideas ?

Thanks for your help,

Julien.

i have never tested any of this on an sd-card, i actually don't know how to
take a .jffs2 image i built and make it sd-card usable, so i don't know what
may have been broken in running it from sd-card (converting to ext2 etc.).

the only way i have ever tested is reflash onto nand. as that is the actual
intended usage and target... you should try that. :)

I had the exact same problem when I tried to boot om2008.8 for the first time
I formatted my fat and ext2 partition again and populated the SD
then it worked fine

I don't have a cardreader so I do it all on the FR itself,
I have notiiced that after running fdisk it sometimes fails to update
the partition table
don't know if it is related though.

My guess is that if you try again it will work :)

as i said before. - it's a clash between illume's and qtoia's keyboard. the
qtopia keyboard isn't disabled - it just happens to take a back-seat to
illume's. when you install apps e/illume pick up he changes and actually
re-evaluate keyboard (because they keyboard system CAN also execute another
keyboards, so if you just uninstalled your keyboard app it's executing it
should now shut it down). so it's just that qtopia (qpe) hasn't given up trying
to create a keyboard. illume picks it up as it happens to have a keyboard
window around before illume re-creates its own and thus it jumps the queue to
be in front. it's not worth going and patching/changing illume to work around
this. what i need/want to do myself is move to FSO with illume/e work and get
full swing behind the FSO infrastructure and work on the UI front end for FSO
and it has a definite future and is being done right. :)

Yeah, this is really needed.  I would be happy to try images and  
report on them every week, I just don't have the time and resources to  
set up a server that would present the details properly, and I  
definitely don't want to bury this in the wiki.  Something like what

be ideal ..

I'm testing the image right now and I have no as much luck as Dan, no
GSM registering here (nor in 2008.8) but it doesn't matter, I post this
to shout out loud , THIS IS THE KEYBOARD 2008.8 MUST HAVE!! is just
awesome , you got all in one, if you need predictable one to write sms
on the go , no problem, if you need one for terminal or for whatever
aplication you put in there that OM can't predict in advance it's
keyboard needs, no problem you got it , if you have to write one sms in
english, an email in spanish and do you minutes in esperanto, again no
problem switch the dictionary and go, it got the zoom feature too, and
if any of the keyboards installed doesn't have succesfully satisfy
you ... do your own keyboard editing a text file!
What is offering the actual keyboard installed in 2008.8 that this one
doesn't offer?, what feature I have missed?
I'm totally agree in try to make the future OM branded distribution kb
automatic oriented and let the user the option to install a manual
button to force keyboard appear and disappear, but please use this kb
instead the actual one.

i will say- i didn't touch qtopia. so any gsm registering or not.. is not my
doing :)

but... that keyboard is the one i have cunningly worked on. it should
address most things people have bitched about and want. it is NOT perfect. i
don't claim that. but it is usable and where it falls short - extensible
EASILY by users (well you techy nerdy linux users - just write some .kbd
files, OR... generate some text-file dictionaries. the dictionary is simply:
sort -f /usr/share/dict/words from your favorite linux desktop dictionary - so
any spanish, french, german, whatever dictionary should work just by stealing
it from a desktop and throwing it in with the existing dictionaries (system
dicts are in /usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/dicts/ and a user can
install them as themselves... if they don't have root access (moot for OM, but
for other systems.. relevant) in ~/.e/e/dicts/ - your personal dictionary that
learns what you type (and how often you type it) is
~/.e/e/dicts-dynamic/personal.dic - same format (text), and in addition it also
supports ~/.e/e/dicts-dynamic/data.dic - you won't see it, but this is a file
that is expected to be auto-generated from personal data - eg your contacts
list (all names, addresses etc.) get stolen from your contacts every now and
again and put in this file. these get mixed in with the dictionary matching
logic. the keyboard layout files work the same way. ~/.e/e/keyboards/ contains
personal .kbd layouts (that always take preference to system ones)
and /usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards/ contains system .kbd files
- just copy one and start editing - put in one of those dirs. they are basic
text files defining an area for the keyboard (virtual area/size), fuzz value
(how far from a press point should the key hunting go to find possible
mis-presses) as well as type of keyboard (used for auto-keyboard protocol
hinting to find which keyboard to use) and icon... and keys. just look at the 3
keyboard provided by default. 

note - assumed is UTF-8 for all dictionaries and keyboard files. so make a
spanish, german, russian etc. keyboard file. add the accented characters you
want/need. *I* can't do all this for you. i can do some, but it is better that
native speakers of these languages do this and address their own language
needs. i HOPE i have covered this. if i haven't - patches accepted. i am not
sure if the dictionary matching will work as well as i hoped when it comes to
accented UTF-8 etc. characters, but i did write it to do so, so if it doesn't -
it's a bug. i am guessing it should handle greek and cyrillic scripts (and
languages) as i think these are just the same principle as latin based
languagese - just different charactersets. you will need to make your own .kbd
files with your keys on it and dictionary files.

unfortunately... this keyboard ... does not help our asian friends much. it
does not include an input method - so for chinese you will need to add an input
method handler and use pinyin. for japanese - same, and type in romanji (though
in theory kana is possible with the keyboard - it may work instead of romanji.
untested) and for our korean friends... beats me! :)

other languages are a bit of a mystery to me. i can say anything right-to-left
is not going to have any support right now. evas doesn't know anything about
right-to-left. luckily it's a small minority of languages that are
right-to-left, but as i said - i know nothing of these. mystery to me. i can't
pretend to be able to support these - sorry guys! :(

 I'm testing the image right now and I have no as much luck as Dan, no
 GSM registering here (nor in 2008.8) but it doesn't matter, I post this
 to shout out loud , THIS IS THE KEYBOARD 2008.8 MUST HAVE!! is just
 awesome , you got all in one, if you need predictable one to write sms
 on the go , no problem, if you need one for terminal or for whatever
 aplication you put in there that OM can't predict in advance it's
 keyboard needs, no problem you got it , if you have to write one sms in
 english, an email in spanish and do you minutes in esperanto, again no
 problem switch the dictionary and go, it got the zoom feature too, and
 if any of the keyboards installed doesn't have succesfully satisfy
 you ... do your own keyboard editing a text file!
 What is offering the actual keyboard installed in 2008.8 that this one
 doesn't offer?, what feature I have missed?
 I'm totally agree in try to make the future OM branded distribution kb
 automatic oriented and let the user the option to install a manual
 button to force keyboard appear and disappear, but please use this kb
 instead the actual one.
 
 Regards
 David

Raster's Image and chatting on the moko!

2008-08-18 Thread Dan Staley
Hi everyone,

I recently flashed an image created by Raster (from a recent version of
the ASU dev tree but with his modifications...most noticably the
keyboard is changed to a modified version of the illume keyboard...and
very works very well!)  I think Raster mentioned that it can accept any
dictionary file for the predictive part of the keyboard, and you can
easily switch dictionaries with the top left button.  (Not to mention
there is a full qwerty keyboard option included!  Terminal friendly
ASU!)

Anyway, I just wanted to comment that with it, and several other recent
programs, I was able to very easily connect to a wifi network (via
terminal), connect my bluetooth keyboard, and chat in the #openmoko IRC
room via pidginand it worked great!  I've also used this image for a
couple days as my main phone and it seems to be pretty stable and
usable.  It wakes up out of suspend on phone calls and with the usual
mods to the gsmhandset.state file, it sounds fine. 

To see pics and descriptions of what I used, see here:

(Remember, Raster gets all the credit!  I'm just trying to spread the
good word about the image!)
