Re: Case mod feasible

2008-09-24 Thread Minh Ha Duong
Dear Breakable,

  The Minty power links at the bottom of 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Battery demonstrates that building a 2 AAA 
battery pack USB charger is feasible. As 1.2 * 4 is almost 5, building a 
4-pack would probably be simpler.

You will probably want to connect a 47.5 kOhms resistor between the ID pin 
and the GND pin in the USB connector to identify it as a FreeRunner 
compatible charger.

I have just created .desktop file and run it if necessary. It wouldn't
be bad to implement a function if it is already running, kill it, so
one could end the application without having to have a second icon (i
might as well just do this through a bash). Anyways, as the window
manager was trying to indicate looong startup of rotate (even with
StartupNotify=false ), i run it now like this and get an excellent
result: Exec=/usr/bin/rotate

After discussed with few co-workers, we think that we should separate 
Qtopia Qt lib and Qt4 Qt lib and let them store at different places. 
When we would run qt applications, we can use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to set qt lib. Currently, I use 'env' before running my AP.

About QMessageBox, I can run it correctly before I re-installing all qt 
related packages. But now, it wont show up and crash my AP. Now, I only 
install libQtCore, libQtGui, libQtNetwork, libQtWebKit, python-sip and 
python-pyqt. I guess I need to install more related Qt4 lib packages.

Somebody made a decision that we don't make up to date packages any more

running it without sounds.

I removed some of my own scripts and tried reinstalling your package.

I have duke3d in /usr/bin but when I run it I get:
-sh: ./duke3d: not found

I had a similar problem earlier and I was able to fix it by removing
the first line, the one with #:/usr/bash or similar.

I have no idea where this comes from but removing it makes it work and
I'm able to play. COOL, THANK YOU!!

This is a nice game to demonstrate the capabilities to other people :)

 Yes, they (whoever they are) have packages from 16th September, it

The fso-testing distro builds the version of the linux-openmoko kernel
denotes as latest stable by the conf/distro/include/sane-srcrevs.inc
file, which currently in OE git (not OM git) on the org.openembedded.dev
branch says:

SRCREV_pn-linux-openmoko ?= ca19d156400f817960efe0d14680324b2ea34171

In OM git, that same file (in the org.openmoko.dev branch) says:

SRCREV_pn-linux-openmoko ?= a1e97c611253511ffc2d8c45e3e6d6894fa03fa3

which surprise surprise matches the ipk in
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/om-gta02/

I have no idea what determines which version is built for the feeds at
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/unstable/om-gta02/
since there is no published build configuration on
downloads.openmoko.org anywhere to be found.

It's up the the person in charge of testing the linux-openmoko bitbake

be by updating that sane-srcrevs.inc file (after booting an image using

Re: [FDOM] Booting from SD, unable to open an initial console

2008-09-24 Thread Neil Jerram
2008/9/24 Andy Green [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 You can get this excitement if your SD card was mounted with nodev at
 unpack as well, usually that is complaining about no /dev/pts/* or other
 valid /dev bits needed.

Thanks.  I checked that at the time, though (because the Wiki covers
it), and it didn't have nodev.

I'll try Bill's -p, and report back.

(Another factor that may be relevant is that I did the unpacking on
the FR, from within Qtopia - which means that I was using the Busybox
implementation of tar.  Perhaps I also need to make sure that I'm
using a proper tar?)

That may be, but despite that I need a daily package for kernel I can point 
people to.  Actually blocking current stable kernel from users by not 
packaging it, which seems to be the case, is completely backwards.

That may be the case, and you defintely should be able to point experienced 
alpha testers to such isolated packages for testing, but you don't want 
inexperienced Joe Random User permanently setting their opkg feeds to a such a 
directory, so you don't really want it as part of the official feeds ...

Re: [debian gps] How to check gps

2008-09-24 Thread Al Johnson
On Wednesday 24 September 2008, Dima Kogan wrote:
 Can you please elaborate? Do any of the actions you mentioned actually
 BREAK fso-gpsd?

The reason for having a gps daemon in the first place is to provide shared 
access to a resource that isn't directly sharable. Having 2 daemons running 
at the same time, or manually poking the gps while the daemon is running, is 
asking for trouble and will more than likely cause problems, but you might 
get lucky. So as a general rule if you want to mess with the gps manually 
then stop the daemon first. Only run one daemon at a time. Note that fso-gpsd 
is a compatibility layer to add gpsd output to ogpsd, not a separate daemon.

I think you are using an old official image as this is an old looking gui.
Try to build your image and flash qemu with that.
About your project it's a nice challenge. Which gui tookit are you going to
use?

I'm waiting always for answers, in the meaning i'm doing some experiments i
want to report:

1) i bitbaked qt4-x11-free in order to have qt library in the staging area
of the asu oe tree, fixed my old myappliaction.bb, compiled my application
and moved to freerunner, when i launched it i got unknown zymbol
:_ZXXX:QTableModel (or similiar). So as i suspected before qt4-x11-free
is incompatible with qtopia-phone-x11 and should be cleaned from the forked
oe tree (if not, again why fork?), the second should provide staging files,
and a new bb class should be proviede (i'll open an issue track for this).
2) i tryed to build fso-image with the right makefile for two day, every
time i run make it updates repository with new stuff, so it's fail on
something different every time, for exemple desktop-file-utils not finding
glib-2.0-native, or fetch errors on kernel git and so on. I do not know if
the buildhost builds from scratch or not, as some errors may come out only
from scratch (it happened to me on python-etk-git on the asu tree, now it's
fixed).
3) now i removed rm_work from my local.conf in asu tree and i'm rebitbaking
qtopia-phone-x11, in order to try to compile my application manually taking
qtopiamake, include, qmake, libraries and so on from the work dir!
4) i'm going to flash my phone with fso, as i like it uses directly the
oetree (there are a lot more and bleeding edge package)
5) i'm setupping oe.stable and oe.dev trees with angstrom as distro, to try
to produce a package for fso, as i was not able yet to resolv step 2 and
build qt4-x11-free

I hope in the hours/days i will give you a feedback on all these
experiments! the nightmare continues :)

Re: Concept arts. Interface - how I would like it to see.

2008-09-24 Thread Daniel Hedblom
I think this concept looks very good and it shows you have thought
about it thoroughly.

Starting from top to bottom,

The topmost area with signal levels and should be there all the time
but as small as possible because they steal screen estate.
The running apps area is the best way i can imagine to show what apps
are running and quickly and painlessly switch between them. Its pure
genius and i cant really think of a better way to do it.

Having the applications menu sliding in from the left should work
pretty well and allows it to use almost all of the screen to show
applications. I think the applications menu should split one or two
times in a tree structure to allow for big icons on phones with many
applications installed. That way you can easily start them without a
stylus. Perhaps one should put an icon for closing currently running
application here too.

Speed dial is nice and the big icons makes using phone functions
without a pen easy.

Overall i would really love a phone that looked like this.

The biggest gripe i have with mobiles right now is an easy way to see
what applications are running, switching between them and closing a
running application.

 That is why I said something is talking to your GPS, if you have a

 version) and Zhone are getting their data via Gypsy. You don't need
 gpsd
 or fso-gpsd in this situation.

Thanx for the detail explaination, but I am still a little confused.

After installation of Debian I followed the tangogps guide from OM wiki.
I installed fso-gps and tangogps, both with apt-get install fso-gps
tangogps and it doesn't work together. Neither 'location' nor 'tango'.
After a selfmade confusion with my servers iptables I installed also
netutils-ping and dnsutils. Thats all.

So, please give me a hint what to de-install and which combination to
install and how to configured it. Maybe also the startup with zhone gui,
currently I need to start tangogps by xterm.

BTW, I checked my process list and couldn't find any other gpsd except
fso-gpsd:

 debian-gta02:~# ps -ef|grep gps
 root  1524 1  0 11:32 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/fso-gpsd -P

 There is a problem with suspending causing the partition table to be

 There are some workarounds that seem to prevent this from happening,
 but I don't know whether they apply to Qtopia.
 See http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1802

Yes this applies to all distributions.

Once distributions will ship a kernel with this patch below, it should no 
longer be
necessary to create the suspend and resume scripts anymore..

http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=commit;h=ca19d156400f817960efe0d14680324b2ea34171

If you build your own image using MokoMakeFile you can define a more recent 
revision for
linux-openmoko in conf/distro/include/sane-srcrevs.inc, otherwise you'll have 
to wait
until OM bumps the rev on linux-openmoko for you.

CAD conversion and editing

2008-09-24 Thread Breakable
Hi,
Anybody got any success for editing CAD files for the phone case?
Basically I am trying to get them open in brlcad (which seems to be the best
free CAD software ever),
without any success yet.
I had some success in VariCad demo (proprietary) where parts of the design
are imported using STEP format, but it does not seem good enough, as I see
about 50% of the shapes usually.
IGES on the other hand seems like a total dissaster.
The only solution I currently see is buying or pirating the Pro/ENGINEER to
edit or convert them  to brlcad .g format using the Pro/E to BRLCAD
converter plugin for Pro/ENGINEER from the brlcad suite. Buying or pirating
for this task is not the option I like.
Anybody that has a  Pro/ENGINEER license can assist with that?
There is a nice description how to do it in
http://brlcad.org/w/images/6/66/Converting_Geometry.pdf
in section 4.9 page 27 of pdf.
After this is done properly, maybe the BRLCAD to DXF converter can be used
to
improve accessibility of design files for those that have AutoCad.
If this issue wont be resolved I don't believe a community effort to build
on the openness
of the device will ever succeed.

 Hi,
 Anybody got any success for editing CAD files for the phone case?
 Basically I am trying to get them open in brlcad (which seems to be the

 without any success yet.
 I had some success in VariCad demo (proprietary) where parts of the design
 are imported using STEP format, but it does not seem good enough, as I see
 about 50% of the shapes usually.
 IGES on the other hand seems like a total dissaster.
The IGES files I created seemed to work in Pro/E and CATIA V5. Can you figure 
out if the files are corrupted or if it is a non-working import filter in 
brlcad that does not work?
Have you tried opening a single file and not the complete assembly?

 The only solution I currently see is buying or pirating the Pro/ENGINEER to
 edit or convert them  to brlcad .g format using the Pro/E to BRLCAD
 converter plugin for Pro/ENGINEER from the brlcad suite. Buying or pirating
 for this task is not the option I like.
 Anybody that has a  Pro/ENGINEER license can assist with that?
 There is a nice description how to do it in
 http://brlcad.org/w/images/6/66/Converting_Geometry.pdf
 in section 4.9 page 27 of pdf.
I have access to a Pro/E licencense and can look into that. However, it won't 
happen till the weekend...

 After this is done properly, maybe the BRLCAD to DXF converter can be used
 to
 improve accessibility of design files for those that have AutoCad.
DXF is essentially a 2D format. Since there is no conversion from 3D to 2D 
that does not lose information, a usefull conversion heavily depends on the 
need of the user of those 2D DXF files. 

IF the list could agree on a limited number of planes/slices through the 3D 
model I might be willing to put the time into creating them.


 If this issue wont be resolved I don't believe a community effort to build
 on the openness
 of the device will ever succeed.

 Regards,
 Ignas

As said above, I will look into this brlcad over the weekend and look into the 
conversion of the files into the appropriate format. However, I can't promise 
anything... (BTW, I have never heard of brlcad, but I also hardly use 
anything else than CATIA these days...)

 Hi,

   is it possible to make the FreeRunner act like a regular media storage
 device ? The inherent question is how to specify which file or partition

I thought that no, but it seems the opposite:

Also I am not much familar with the BRL CAD and I also could not compare

Where could I put the tgz file that contains all the others (~ 16 MB) ?

The file also contains a script. (How I have converted the igs files)

 Simple Question
 
 Is /etc/resolv.conf still an issue with 2008.09?
 
 As far as I'm concerned it is a problem according to a simple Ping, but 
 perhaps I'm wrong with that. Surely to God this should be fix and in the 
 2008.09 release.

I run Om2008.09; I don't know what exactly the issue with the
/etc/resolv.conf should be, in fact it is just empty; I don't care
because I need diffrent lines in it when I'm in my home office or at

what should be there per default?

not be free, that not worry me is a no go on hardware openness.

the first is freely customisable with google, yahoo, apple-dashboard, karamba

the top bar is unneccesery on a freely custobizable screen.
On every other screen there is the topbar wich is also freely custobizable 
with miniwidgets or tools like you know it from the kde-bar.
I would replace he slidermenu with a gesture from left to right to reach the 
config.
And an other gesture to reach an applicationmenu with favorits, taskmanager 
and other program categorys.
With gestures from left to right or rigth to left on the top bar you can 
change throu all running programs.
with a gesture from the top bar down you can change to the homescreen.

were many important questions. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS5s89H6BW4
(woot he's canadian to boot no doobt aboot it)

One person asked if we will be able to run Android on other open phones and
the rep said why not?
There were also alot of other questions about openmoko and the rep was
asking if anyone in the room had one he could look at.

Once the code is released it can be compiled to run on arm4, but developers
will need to write some kind of interface to connect the software with the
hardware. The rep said drivers would need to be written for the specific
hardware of the open device in question (which are already being worked on)
but they may need to be slightly modified to understand Android commands.

I do not know the simple way, but if you want try the hard way you have to
patch devices/ficgta01/src/devtools/* in qtopia sources, compile it and
deploy. Howewer i did some experiment, and adding a simple desktop file in
the filesystem does not work. When developing with sdk, and doing a make
install, it installs a desktop file and launch a content_installer utility
that modify the qtopia sqlite database. This is a x86 application that
modify this db on the image to deploy to the device. I'm quite sure that you
may copy the db on pc, modify it and redeploy to the freerunner and it
should work. Another option could be to compile content_installer for the
device directly and launch from it. The best would be if some trolltech guru
answers to this question giving for example some qcop tricks as it's

Why not substitute the touch for the left panel with an accel gesture

This could lock the panel and using other accel gestures like up or 
down (to speak like accelgest language) slide the application panels

Touching the icons could launch the application or (in some point of the

 In openmoko, the file /etc/resolv.conf is managed dynamically by the

 Editing it by hand is a hack (that must only be used when the DHCP

 configured by hand).
 See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/07/msg00438.html

I know resolvconf is supposed to manage it, but in 2008.8 it didn't. By

resolver, but instead it is empty. In 2008.8 resolvconf didn't populate it

kernel soon to compile external gadget modules like OM does.

 It works for me.  I don't record traces these days because I'm stuck
 at home working, but I get a fix that lasts for as long as I've looked

And you use debian and only deinstalled gpsd und installed fso-gpsd for
that to work?
Is the gps-time correctly shown in tangogps?

Maybe i should try it again if this works for you.

  That's my understanding, yes.

 As far as i know Location doesn't use FSO-gpsd. It uses the more FSO
 native access method (ogpsd?) for communication. FSO-gpsd is only for
 programs like tangogps or navit which uses gpsd and now needs this
 wrapper for that purpose.

I read the diagram as showing both fso-gpsd and location consuming the 
gypsy-format output from ogpsd, and tangogps consuming the gpsd-format output 
from fso-gpsd.

First, have a look at ./etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml. This is
our rules file, where we define that a ringtone should play once a call
comes in. Now you probably have to enhance the RingTone atom to make it
aware of the 'peer' entry in the dbus signal CallStatus. Once you have
that, you should be able to add numbers to the rules that trigger
different ringtones.

 This could lock the panel and using other accel gestures like up or

 80% impossible without a stylus. But as far as the REMOVE link stays

Hello folks,

first thanx to all of you for support.
Second, now I get clear GPS data.

I don't know what was happen, but I de-install fso-gpsd, install gpsd,
check it unsuccessfull, de-install gpsd and re-install fso-gpsd again.
And now I get a fix in less than one minute. Tango shows me the correct
data and location does it too.

I will verify it tomorrow during a small trip.

Great, this issue is solved, now to the next :-).

Re: [debian gps] How to check gps

2008-09-24 Thread -stacy
Christian Weßel wrote:
 
 Thanx for the detail explaination, but I am still a little confused.
 
 After installation of Debian I followed the tangogps guide from OM wiki.
 I installed fso-gps and tangogps, both with apt-get install fso-gps
 tangogps and it doesn't work together. Neither 'location' nor 'tango'.
 After a selfmade confusion with my servers iptables I installed also
 netutils-ping and dnsutils. Thats all.

So that means you have the tangogps that uses gpsd not the version that 
has been modified for gypsy, thus you need fso-gpsd, which you have. So 
far so good.

 So, please give me a hint what to de-install and which combination to
 install and how to configured it. Maybe also the startup with zhone gui,
 currently I need to start tangogps by xterm.

As I said in my previous email, I think your software is configured and 
working properly; you just don't have a fix and no combination of 
software will help that. To help clarify, follow along with this:

Here [1] is a screen shot of the tangogps trip page when there is no 
gpsd for tango to talk to. As you can see, everything is blank.

Here [2] is a screen shot when there is a gpsd to talk to, but the gps 
is powered off so gpsd can't talk to it. Now everything is zero instead 
of blank, with the exception of GPS Time which is epoch incorrrectly 
converted from my local time to GPS Time.

Here [3] is a screen shot when the gps is powered on but there is no 
fix. Now that satellite count has changed to 14/0, which means the gps 
can see 14 satellites in the sky but has not locked on to any of them. 
The GPS Time is now correct as well which means that gps has received 
time from at least one of the satellites.

And finally, for completeness sake, here [4] is a screen shot of 
everything working. The satellite count is now 14/7; 14 in view, 7 used 
in calculating position.

[1] http://www.millions.ca/~stacy/neoFreeRunner/no-gpsd.png
[2] http://www.millions.ca/~stacy/neoFreeRunner/no-gps.png
[3] http://www.millions.ca/~stacy/neoFreeRunner/no-fix.png
[4] http://www.millions.ca/~stacy/neoFreeRunner/fix.png

Based on your description of what showed on your screen, you are in 
situation 3, your gps can see satelites, ogpsd is talking to your gps, 
fso-gpsd is talking to ogpsd and tangogps is talking to fso-gpsd. All 
you need now is a fix.

I would suggest you go outside, sit in an open space with a good view of 
the sky, have a beer (or two :-) and see what happens.

If you still can't get a fix, then I would suggest there is a hardware 
problem. There are two possibilities that I know of. The most likely is
the SD Card [5] I don't know if debian includes the driver fix for this 
or not. The other one is an issues with the connector for the internal 
antenna [6]. Using an external antenna will bypass both of those issues.

[5] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPS_Problems
[6] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner_GPS_antenna_repair_SOP

 BTW, I checked my process list and couldn't find any other gpsd except
 fso-gpsd:

ogpsd will not show up as a process under that name, it will show up as 
python. I would recommend you install lsof and then if you type

lsof /dev/ttySAC1

you will see what process has the gps device open.

Michael Shiloh gets in contact with you the files can then be transfered to 
downloads.openmoko.org/CAD as well)



 The file also contains a script. (How I have converted the igs files)

 Lothar

  DXF is essentially a 2D format. Since there is no conversion from 3D

  that does not lose information, a usefull conversion heavily
  depends on the

  If this issue wont be resolved I don't believe a community effort

  As said above, I will look into this brlcad over the weekend and
  look into the
  conversion of the files into the appropriate format. However, I
  can't promise
  anything... (BTW, I have never heard of brlcad, but I also hardly use
  anything else than CATIA these days...)

Hurray to procrastination...
Well, I downloaded brlcad and briefly looked into that conversion thing.
However, I could not figure out how to do it (again, I neither am a a regular 
Pro/E user nor have I ever heard of brlcad before).

  used to

It seems that I can't  (for the lag of a better word) load the brlcad 
converter in Pro/E. The rather vague PDF calls for a file labeled *protk.dat* 
that shoul reside inside a /pro_engineer/ directory in the brlcad branch. I 
neither could find the file nor the directory. (I only tried the Windows 
binary download of brlcad since I only have a Windows Pro/E license.)

So if anybody has a source to a step-by-step instruction on how to do the 
export from Pro/E, please let me know. Otherwise I will drop this conversion 
(as Andreas pointed out the IGES conversion seems to work after all).

Regards,

Claus

ReMoKo and openSuSE 11

2008-09-24 Thread Claus Christmann
Hi,

I got very excited to learn about ReMoKo, but got frustrated even more that 
hidd (the command necessary to bind the Neo to the desktop as a hid device, 
see [1]) is not present on openSuSE [2].

Before I start looking into that matter I just wanted to check if anybody got 
ReMoKo to cooperate with kinputwizard (the part of kbluetooth in openSuSE 
that should do the stuff hidd used to do [3] ...)

So, anybody any hints? In exchange for answers I would opt in to update the 
Wiki with my success story...

Thanks,

Claus
