Looks excellent! Can't seem to get suspend to work though. Is it because 
it's missing 'apm' or something? Also, would it be hard to port this to 
2009.9? Is it more than a change of edje files?

its got it - thew FSO x builds dont allow aux and power buttons to be keys in x
- so e can never get them (and no - i'm not going to do awful hacks like open
kernel input devices directly when it should be punted through x). there is apm

 why someone would use a language dictionary-based corrective keyboard for 
 shell
 input beats me! in this case i call silly user - using a motorcycle to

 meant for. :)
 
 was an unusable mess. It has no model of the likelihood of erroneous input
 
 it does. it absolutely does. maybe your fingers are incredibly off-center? 
 here
 is the algorithm (and if u don't believe me - code is there to be read):
 
 it stores a press POINT (x,y). it looks for all keys whose center point is
 WITHIN f distance of x,y (f being the fuzz value - the .kbd file for the
 qwerty Default keyboard is 135 units wide, with fuzz radius of 20, so that's
 about 1/3rd of the keyboard that it searches through for a likely match).
 likelihood factors (distance) per key found is allocated based on distance (0
 == most likely,  0 less likely the greater the value). each press is done 
 this
 way EXCEPT if u hold for 0.25 sec then drag to select a key explicitly in zoom
 mode - then the ONLY key available for that word slot is that letter selected
 given a distance of 0. as you type all permutations of letters are searched 
 and
 put into a list - with each permutation given a distance metric based on the
 letters used (simply addition of the distances). now this is combined with the
 dictionary's frequency metric (multiplied by an inverse) so the more likely 
 the
 word is to be used the lower its distance becomes. words are sorted from most
 to least likely based on this metric then listed with most likely in the 
 middle
 of the list, leas likely to the left/right ends - which you may not see. the
 vertical list lists all matches from most to least likely (top to bottom) 
 with 1
 exception - EXACTLY what u typed it as the top. it absolutely has a fairly 
 good
 idea of likelihood of error and likelihood of usage of a word etc. etc.
 
 eg:
 
 Press | Guess+dist
 e   e+0 w+1 r+2 d+2 s+1
 r   r+0 t+1 e+2 f+1 g+2 d+3
 k   k+0 l+1 o+2 i+3 j+3
 d   d+0 f+1 s+1 e+1 c+1 r+2 w+2
 
 so erkd has distance 0 = but its not a word in the dictionary at all, so
 thrown out. rwkd has distance 1, but not a word, srkd same, etkd, 
 efkd,
 erld, etc. etc.
 
 in the end it produces a list where most likely world ends up the word
 with other options too - and this is a much simplified list. mostly the list
 for candidate letters per input letter is about 10-12 letters. so u have
 12*12*12*12 permutations for a 4 letter word - of which a fraction of that
 space is legitimate words. each permutation has a likelihood value based on
 press distance and on frequency of usage of that word in language in general 
 in
 the dictionary.
 
 mind you - i AM talking about illume's keyboard, its algorithms as is in the
 image i built. if you use something else i cannot comment as it's something
 else.
 
 (relatively low) and instead appears to look for the word with the closest
 minimum edit distance to the user's input. This is nuts. I have never -
 
 it's not - as the edit distance is the likelihood of error. you likely press
 the key you want - or near it. thus keys near where you pressed are more 
 likely
 than those further away. to limit search distance only up to a certain 
 distance
 is searched. chances are that you do this:
 
 fingerprint:

  /~~~\
  |~~~|

   \x/

 
 where x is the pressure point reported on the touchscreen. the only info the
 touchscreen reports is the pressure point - nothing else. you think u press
 somewhere else, but don't. you know what u pressed bu what key pops up that
 lets u know pretty well how good your pressing of the screen is. this is just 
 a
 hardware limit of a resistive touchscreen. the point of greatest pressure is
 used - not the middle point of the area in which skin contacts the screen. get
 the gpe-sketchbook and try press with the flat of your finger and see just of
 far off your press point is. it may surprise you.
 
 as i said - it does have all the model and code and even data to do proper
 correction based on many factors. i do NOT have a dictionary with frequency
 info for all of english - there is a small english dict (5000 words) with

  qtopia and 2008.x don't switch alsa state files on insertion of the

 output
  in one ear of the headset only. You need to load headset.state
 instead:
 alsactl -f /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/headset.state
 restore
  You may have to switch states manually rather frequently, depending
 on
  how aware of the headset the various apps are. You may want to
 switch to
  gsmheadset.state during phone calls for instance.

 Intended, you just have to understand what it's doing.

 Unlike T9 and other predictive inputs that are familiar from cellphones,
 the keyboard predictive process looks at neighboring keys, 'predicting'
 that periodically you may hit the wrong one.  (if you're using your finger
 that's pretty likely, especially if they're as wide as mine)

At first look I thought this keyboard was useless.  Coming back to it later I

Seeing this thread I took another look ... stylus ... finger...! Now I love it! 
I can mash all over the keyboard with my fat fingers and it makes the right
words available almost every time!  No more squinting in poor light trying to

  why someone would use a language dictionary-based corrective keyboard for
  shell input beats me! in this case i call silly user - using a motorcycle
  to deliver elephants line :) use the terminal keyboard. use a stylus.
  thats what it was meant for. :)
  
  was an unusable mess. It has no model of the likelihood of erroneous input
  
  it does. it absolutely does. maybe your fingers are incredibly off-center?
  here is the algorithm (and if u don't believe me - code is there to be
  read):
  
  it stores a press POINT (x,y). it looks for all keys whose center point is
  WITHIN f distance of x,y (f being the fuzz value - the .kbd file for the
  qwerty Default keyboard is 135 units wide, with fuzz radius of 20, so that's
  about 1/3rd of the keyboard that it searches through for a likely match).
  likelihood factors (distance) per key found is allocated based on distance
  (0 == most likely,  0 less likely the greater the value). each press is
  done this way EXCEPT if u hold for 0.25 sec then drag to select a key
  explicitly in zoom mode - then the ONLY key available for that word slot is
  that letter selected given a distance of 0. as you type all permutations of
  letters are searched and put into a list - with each permutation given a
  distance metric based on the letters used (simply addition of the
  distances). now this is combined with the dictionary's frequency metric
  (multiplied by an inverse) so the more likely the word is to be used the
  lower its distance becomes. words are sorted from most to least likely
  based on this metric then listed with most likely in the middle of the
  list, leas likely to the left/right ends - which you may not see. the
  vertical list lists all matches from most to least likely (top to bottom)
  with 1 exception - EXACTLY what u typed it as the top. it absolutely has a
  fairly good idea of likelihood of error and likelihood of usage of a word
  etc. etc.
  
  eg:
  
  Press | Guess+dist
  e   e+0 w+1 r+2 d+2 s+1
  r   r+0 t+1 e+2 f+1 g+2 d+3
  k   k+0 l+1 o+2 i+3 j+3
  d   d+0 f+1 s+1 e+1 c+1 r+2 w+2
  
  so erkd has distance 0 = but its not a word in the dictionary at all, so
  thrown out. rwkd has distance 1, but not a word, srkd same, etkd,
  efkd, erld, etc. etc.
  
  in the end it produces a list where most likely world ends up the word
  with other options too - and this is a much simplified list. mostly the list
  for candidate letters per input letter is about 10-12 letters. so u have
  12*12*12*12 permutations for a 4 letter word - of which a fraction of that
  space is legitimate words. each permutation has a likelihood value based on
  press distance and on frequency of usage of that word in language in
  general in the dictionary.
  
  mind you - i AM talking about illume's keyboard, its algorithms as is in the
  image i built. if you use something else i cannot comment as it's something
  else.
  
  (relatively low) and instead appears to look for the word with the closest
  minimum edit distance to the user's input. This is nuts. I have never -
  
  it's not - as the edit distance is the likelihood of error. you likely press
  the key you want - or near it. thus keys near where you pressed are more
  likely than those further away. to limit search distance only up to a
  certain distance is searched. chances are that you do this:
  
  fingerprint:
___
   /~~~\
   |~~~|
   |~~~|
\x/
 
  
  where x is the pressure point reported on the touchscreen. the only info
  the touchscreen reports is the pressure point - nothing else. you think u
  press somewhere else, but don't. you know what u pressed bu what key pops
  up that lets u know pretty well how good your pressing of the screen is.
  this is just a hardware limit of a resistive touchscreen. the point of
  greatest pressure is used - not the middle point of the area in which skin
  contacts the screen. get the gpe-sketchbook and try press with the flat of
  your finger and see just of far off your press point is. it may surprise
  you.

 For sure Adam.

 Like Michael said, we should start something in the wiki.

 I was looking for something similar and found this:
 http://www.sonimtech.com/

 This is what Im looking for, at least as a water proof case.

 Is this possible to use the actual GTA_02 hardware version to do:
 - Compass ?
 - Altimeter ?

 How should be the best way to have this information on the phone?
 Using an external hardware module?
 I'm thinking we need to make a generic expandable water proof (or at
 least harsh conditions proof) case for the FR.
 
 Have a look at otterbox.com - their 1900 and 3600 cases may be what you're 
 looking for. I'm going to ask them about custom cases for the openmoko, 
 either as something to clamp around as they do with their other 
 phone-specific cases, or as a total case replacement.

Otterbox would consider making a custom case if a sufficiently large 
order is placed by Openmoko rather than a third party. As a rough guide 
this is probably thousands rather than tens of thousands.

Is there enough demand? We have the outdoor contingent, but that may not 
be enough. I imagine the Sahana disaster management project [1] would 
find the phones even more useful if they were more robust, as perhaps 
would the archaeologists [2][3]. A device that can survive the warehouse 
or delivery van might find industrial markets, and one that can be 
dunked in disinfectant or steam cleaned might be useful in a medical 
environment.

 Do you have any hints before starting to have a nice installation?
 

Sorry for the delay, but better late than never!

go here - https://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_Freerunner

And update u-boot by going to the section marked Flashing the boot loader
to the NAND. You'll want this because u-boot has improved and because the
older u-boot couldn't boot the kernel from ext2.
You may also want to get a program called neocon - it allows you to halt the
phone in the bootloader phase, giving you long to kick off dfu-util to
update uboot.

Then just follow the wiki - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner

It took me a couple of hours but all worked pretty well. I gave up on debian
pretty quickly because I stopped getting any GSM signal/registration after a
while. I liked the zhone interface though, and it seemed more responsive.
Also having the full apt repository is amazing.

It's now FDOM for me, though as and when debian/FSO is known to be more
stable I might switch again. I like debian, and the size of the community
ensures that information is easy to find and community support done well.

Re: [2008.9] Wifi very unreliable

2008-10-02 Thread vale

calm down,

its a fact, that freerunners wlan is far away from optimum. 

try a wget shortly after doing ifup eth0 - everything works
try wget some minutes later (no suspend/resume in between) from same server
- no download, even if ping still works
ifdown eth0, ifup eth0 - wget works again

same with opkg install, update, upgrade etc.

under 2007.2, 2008.08, debian ...

- wlan drivers not working well

i think this should also be a high priority aspect to work on for Openmoko.

How to build qt-extended?

2008-10-02 Thread Nicola Mfb
I'm trying to build qt-extended myself, but build process fails, anyone may
help?

This is what i did:

cd /opt
wget http://qtextended.org/downloads/neo/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
tar xzvfC arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz /
wget
http://qtextended.org/downloads/source/qt-extended-opensource-src-4.4.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf qt-extended-opensource-src-4.4.1.tar.gz
mkdir build
cd build
export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/qt-extended-4.4.1
$QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/configure -device neo

it results in:

 OpenSSL support . no



Is the SSL support activated in the released image on qtextended.org ?

 Sorry Yes I would like to use the Icon on the top of the illume bar. I 
 was thinking interfacing this to my daemon so regardless of app you can 
 see the wifi status the same as you can see the GSM status at present.

 If anybody knows about somewhat different :-) Would this presently be 
 set by Kernel code the Window Manager?
 

 It's part of the edje setup for the main screen, in illume.edj. (well, that
 can differ - I've always installed illume-config and illume-config-illume)
 You can think of the .edj file as a theme package of sorts, although it
 abstracts more UI handling out of the program than traditional theming. In
 OO fashion it separates all the user interaction into the edje file, with
 the main application interacting via signals to change UI or respond to
 user actions and triggers generated by the UI itself.

 You can set up in the .edj file to support changing icons triggered by
 signals from 'outside', and emit signals when some UI interaction (IE,
 click the icon) takes place.  I'm interested in doing something similar
 with USB, showing whether it's in host or device mode, networking vs mass
 storage if device mode, sending or expecting power, forcing 500mA or 1000mA
 charging, and ability to change all the above.

 The program edje_editor is great for taking a look at such features.  It's
 part of the E17 desktop setup, I've been playing with it in the developer
 VM I'm working on.  It takes the intact .edj file and extracts all the
 configs, images, etc from it and gives you a nice WYSYWIG GUI editor.  BTW
 - I printed out the actual text config from illume.edj, it's about 100
 pages long...  A simpler starting point to learn your way around .edj and
 edje_editor is illume_init.edj, the startup theme.  (second view of the
 boots, with the green scanning back and forth instead of indicating percent
 progress)  It's quite easy to drop in a different background image,
 redefine the animation, etc this way.

 (Now what we really need is a tool running ON the FR that decompiles the
 main .edj file and lets us replace wallpaper, etc - basic customization,
 not full-on UI redesign work)

 j
   
Joel you're a star. Thanks a million for your help on this. Your USB 
version sounds like a great one as well so let us know when you get that 
done. Be great to click the icon and get the options no fuss.

It's the logical place for Info/Feedback/Options.

 i'm baffled. that bar wt the top is always visible - it's not part of your app
 (and it only is invisible if your app goes fullsreen). note that the icon is
 entirely part of the theme and may vary based on whatever theme you use. the
 bar is part of the window manager and its contents are controlled by code
 running in the wm process (either core or loadable modules). there are no
 signals for pressing the icon published - it's internal and up to the gadget
 code for that icon (in e terms it's a gadget). as its tny 
 icon,
 pressing it is not that useful and so does nothing.

   
The illume-config menu is brought up from a tiny spanner 
Icon in the drop down menu. I don't see any difference but I'm not 
forcing anybody to use a particular method. I would agree that there are 
disadvantages to having the tiny icon used in this way especially if 
you've got fat fingers. On the other hand given that you've got the 
space for an icon there all the time why not use it to convey some 
useful info. Given the size of the screen you can't really expect big 
icons anyhow.

Anyhow I'm just messing with an idea at the moment which may turn out to 
be a bad idea. It won't be my first but thanks a million for the 
information anyhow and maybe at some point I'll get this working.

   None of the 'premium' modules were developed by Qt

  Yeah, I knew that but the company which has developed Iris

Well this is quite important for me too. Is there a migration needed or
simply the data is saved in the same format?
Since until today I always shared my Applications and Documents folders
between Qtopia and Om2008 to get keep the phonebook, SMSs and documents
synced; it worked well, but will it work anymore?

Google 'x11 rotate' or 'linux screen rotate' and you'll quickly find the
command 'xrandr'.  Resolution and Rotation controls.

xrandr -o 0  - 'normal'
xrandr -o 1  - 'right'
xrandr -o 2  - 'inverted'
xrandr -o 3  - 'left'

-o for 'orientation', you can use the numbers or the string 'normal' etc.

After some time trying to install Debian on my SDCard, Im able to boot

When zhone show up, I only see the four icons and the date bar, but  
the top bar with signal, battery things does not appeared.

yeah. saw your trac bug. i know. it's just out of my focus at the moment. i'll

do some radical surgery to the dict format and enigne. :)

i saw the one with duplicates - that shouldn't happen - but there likely is some
bug that makes it - somewhere... shouldn't. it saves - just not immediately.
you need to keep the dict idle for 5+ seconds - then it flushes and saves. that
means not adding any new words or modifying them for 5 seconds (ie take a pause
from typing and it'll flush and save).

You should perhaps ask what AP he's using, or whether he has the power

managed devices, and the Freerunner enables power management of the wifi 
by default to preserve battery. My wrt54g certainly gets upset from time

kernel for qt extended 4.4

2008-10-02 Thread Kishore
I downloaded the rootfs image for qt extended and flashed it to the rootfs 
partition. I previously had FDOM installed so basically this must have 
overwritten it. The kernel image was not available so i guess im still using 
the image i flashed from FDOM.

It works but is somewhat flaky. No USB networking and so no SSH. Something is 
not right here and im guessing it is all because of the kernel image.

So where do i get the suitable kernel image or how do i have to go about it?

 The openmoko-panel-plugin is a gtk based plugin that draws the
 powerstate of some FR hardware devices(i.e. gsm, gps) to a gtk based
 panel. theses panels are used i.e. in xfce4. so you can enable or
 disable the state of your gps receiver.

Well, I can agree in this. I think that the selected word/char should be
set as default (i.e. I often write in Italian thinks like
l'many-vocal-starting-word, since adding any word matching to
[clmstv]'many-vocal-starting-word would increase a lot the
dictionary I do prefer using the ' as a non-dictionary char so when
I've to write a word like that I, for example, press l, then ' and
finally the word.
However this doesn't work always since the l is quite never selected
by default also if I press exactly on it; so I've to press l, select
it in the list, do a backspace and finally writing the word.
You can figure that it's not so good :P).

I used to have a bunch of them when I was doing a NLG ( natural Language 
generation) pet project. I sent you a link to US names as well. from the
US census.
For personal dictionaries, people could just run a simple word frequency 
analysis   on their archived email,( there are GPL programs that do this 
I believe, but its dead easy to write yourself) and import their email 
contacts into the database.
( speeling mistakes might require some work, like the one I just did)
If you had access to archived chats or chat logs you could pick up
things like LOL, PITA, etc, or logs of SMS. There are some studies on 
word frequency in SMS but I havent found a online resource.

 i disagree. it works like a charm for me - as per my previous mail - i can

 any other virtual keyboard i have available to me.

 input, and it was an unusable mess. I tried it for text messaging, and it
 why someone would use a language dictionary-based corrective keyboard for
 shell input beats me! in this case i call silly user - using a motorcycle
 to deliver elephants line :) use the terminal keyboard. use a stylus.
 thats what it was meant for. :)

 was an unusable mess. It has no model of the likelihood of erroneous input
 it does. it absolutely does. maybe your fingers are incredibly off-center?
 here is the algorithm (and if u don't believe me - code is there to be
 read):

 it stores a press POINT (x,y). it looks for all keys whose center point is
 WITHIN f distance of x,y (f being the fuzz value - the .kbd file for the
 qwerty Default keyboard is 135 units wide, with fuzz radius of 20, so that's
 about 1/3rd of the keyboard that it searches through for a likely match).
 likelihood factors (distance) per key found is allocated based on distance
 (0 == most likely,  0 less likely the greater the value). each press is
 done this way EXCEPT if u hold for 0.25 sec then drag to select a key
 explicitly in zoom mode - then the ONLY key available for that word slot is
 that letter selected given a distance of 0. as you type all permutations of
 letters are searched and put into a list - with each permutation given a
 distance metric based on the letters used (simply addition of the
 distances). now this is combined with the dictionary's frequency metric
 (multiplied by an inverse) so the more likely the word is to be used the
 lower its distance becomes. words are sorted from most to least likely
 based on this metric then listed with most likely in the middle of the
 list, leas likely to the left/right ends - which you may not see. the
 vertical list lists all matches from most to least likely (top to bottom)
 with 1 exception - EXACTLY what u typed it as the top. it absolutely has a
 fairly good idea of likelihood of error and likelihood of usage of a word
 etc. etc.

 eg:

 Press | Guess+dist
 e   e+0 w+1 r+2 d+2 s+1
 r   r+0 t+1 e+2 f+1 g+2 d+3
 k   k+0 l+1 o+2 i+3 j+3
 d   d+0 f+1 s+1 e+1 c+1 r+2 w+2

 so erkd has distance 0 = but its not a word in the dictionary at all, so
 thrown out. rwkd has distance 1, but not a word, srkd same, etkd,
 efkd, erld, etc. etc.

 in the end it produces a list where most likely world ends up the word
 with other options too - and this is a much simplified list. mostly the list
 for candidate letters per input letter is about 10-12 letters. so u have
 12*12*12*12 permutations for a 4 letter word - of which a fraction of that
 space is legitimate words. each permutation has a likelihood value based on
 press distance and on frequency of usage of that word in language in
 general in the dictionary.

 mind you - i AM talking about illume's keyboard, its algorithms as is in the
 image i built. if you use something else i cannot comment as it's something
 else.

 (relatively low) and instead appears to look for the word with the closest
 minimum edit distance to the user's input. This is nuts. I have never -
 it's not - as the edit distance is the likelihood of error. you likely press
 the key you want - or near it. thus keys near where you pressed are more
 likely than those further away. to limit search distance only up to a
 certain distance is searched. chances are that you do this:

 i think this should also be a high priority aspect to work on for Openmoko.


I definitely agree.

I was recently at a conference and trying to use my freerunner as a mobile
web device with the conference wlan - an open network, so I didn't have to
worry about encryption.   I connected with my laptop a number of times, and
everything ran smoothly - however, my FR gave me no end of problems.  If I
rebooted and tried connecting with Mofi, I could sometimes connect - maybe 1
time in 3.   Once I connected, I could browse for a while with Minimo (which
worked quite nicely), but then it would hang, and I'd have to reboot several
times again before I could get connected again.

I've had similar experiences before - I can rarely connect to our open guest
network at my office, I've never managed to connect successfully the few
times I've tried at Cafe's with free wifi, and I haven't managed to get it
to connect at all to our wifi network at home.

As much as I love my FR, I must admit that the whole experience had me
thinking lustful thoughts about my wife's iPhone...

BTW - I'm running FDOM 20080913.

LOL!! First bug is already there: I powered down the phone (Power Down 
GSM Antenna).
Now... Power-up GSM Antenna does not bring my phone back up...

How do I do that? (FR is still charging)
Do I need to power down and boot up again?

I would say just get an iPhone.  I did.  Its much more fun to develop  
for a *platform* rather than a constant dogs-breakfast of disaster.   
Until someone in the Freerunner world turns the thing into a stable  
platform, its just going to go on and on forever with nothing ever  
being fixed, stably, and dependably.

I mean, give me a break.  Its October, and people are *still*  
wrestling with WLAN configuration.  Can you hackers not see how stupid  
it is to be fussing with 'pretty stuff' when the most basic things  
don't even work?

I've given up on Freerunner development.  Until there is a stable  
image that provides an Operating System (what we have now: Inoperable)  
its just not worth the fuss.  The Freerunner project has been  
murdered, in my opinion, by hobby horsing hackers who have nothing but  
hatred for the end users that *could* be using the thing.

More useful would be if someone can scare up a thorough list of common SMS

 You should perhaps ask what AP he's using, or whether he has the power

 by default to preserve battery. My wrt54g certainly gets upset from time

 _anything_ over wifi afterwards until rebooted.

I'm using the latest FDOM, I believe it's based on 2008.09.  My question is
what is the fundamental difference between pressing the power button to
cause the phone to suspend, pressing the aux button to make the phone lock
the screen and not pressing any buttons and letting the software timeout. 
Mainly, I'm interested in battery life and how each action reduces power
consumption.

thats cool ... wish it would work here too,

but my experience is different. doesn't matter if i try @university @home

how can i stop this power thing over wlan? perhaps that is the problem ...

i like my freerunner, but sometimes its frustrating not beeing able to rely

 You should perhaps ask what AP he's using, or whether he has the power 
 management enabled on the wifi. Some APs apparently get upset by power 
 managed devices, and the Freerunner enables power management of the wifi 
 by default to preserve battery. My wrt54g certainly gets upset from time 
 to time if I connect with the freerunner, sometimes refusing to talk to 
 _anything_ over wifi afterwards until rebooted.
 
 my AP at home is a SMCWBR14-G2 EU one; regardless of the FR already in

Yes.

v5 is the design revision of the first retail Freerunners, earlier versions
of GTA02 were never manufactured in significant quantities.

I was thinking to a way to automatize this a while ago, but I wrote
something just now...
The basic idea is that of using the google number of results for each
word and using this value as a frequency number (well, I know these
numbers are often too much great, so I guess that they should be
re-analyzed and lowered but I had no time to do this now :P).

So this is a little utility I wrote [1] to check the frequency of each
word and writing back a new dictionary with frequency data.

To run it you need php-cli (I guess v5 or above), set the given options,
do php words-popularity.php and wait the work to be finished! :P

It could be a long work, but it should give good results.

PS: I've used php since I run it both on my PC and on a server (dividing
the work) where I've ssh access but in which I can run by command line
just a little subset of languages, and php is one of this.

Re: [2008.9] Wifi very unreliable

2008-10-02 Thread Wolfgang Spraul
vale,

 i think this should also be a high priority aspect to work on for  
 Openmoko.

It is, and for Atheros too.
We are working on improving the driver (there are several driver  
variants actually), we are working on getting all of this into  
mainline kernel.org, we are working with Atheros to open up more  
possibilities with regards to reflashing the chip, providing 'thin'  
firmwares that allow monitor/injection modes etc.

Any help is appreciated, bug reports with clear reproduction steps are  
very helpful too.
Best Regards,
Wolfgang

 try a wget shortly after doing ifup eth0 - everything works
 try wget some minutes later (no suspend/resume in between) from same

 ifdown eth0, ifup eth0 - wget works again

 same with opkg install, update, upgrade etc.

 under 2007.2, 2008.08, debian ...

[debian] moving installation from sd card to flash

2008-10-02 Thread arne anka
a few questions:
- to move an installation from sd card to flash: is it sensible/sufficient  
to delete everything from flash and copy from sd card?
creating a jffs image and flash it to the fr seems rather long-winded.
- to those havin debian in flash: what do you have in flash what on sd? my  
debian uses about 600mb which is clearly too much for the 256mb flash --  
but what should (eg for better performance) reside in flash?
- what about the suspend/resume corruption? running from sd entirely never  
caused any problems, but that might change when running from flash -- and  
since the apm suspend/resume scripts are not executed, the workarounds  
form 200X.Y are pretty useless.

Re: Suspend vs. Lock vs. Screen Off

2008-10-02 Thread David Pottage
Jason Cawood wrote:
 I'm using the latest FDOM, I believe it's based on 2008.09.  My question is
 what is the fundamental difference between pressing the power button to
 cause the phone to suspend, pressing the aux button to make the phone lock
 the screen and not pressing any buttons and letting the software timeout. 
 Mainly, I'm interested in battery life and how each action reduces power
 consumption. 
   
When the device suspends Linux gets suspended to RAM in the same way as 
you can suspend most laptops. In this state the CPU and memory use very 
little power. The GSM module and parts of the chipset remain powered, so 
you should will still receive incoming calls and SMS messages. The idea 
is that the Main CPU will wake up if it receves and interupt from the 
GSM module, the power key or from varous other sources, but the rest of 
the time it will be suspended and use little power. This creates the 
illusion of being always on, but in fact only being on when the user is 
trying to use the device. Most modern GSM handsets work in the same way.

If you leave the device without pressing any buttons the screen 
backlight will go out. This saves a substantial amount of power but not 
as much as suspending. Depending on your settings, your freerunner may 
suspend after a time with the backlight out.

Pressing the Aux key to lock the screen does just that. The phone will 
turn out the back light or suspend according to it's settings.

Re: Debian installer internal error

Hi,

Am Donnerstag, den 02.10.2008, 17:30 + schrieb Matthias Camenzind:
 I tried four times to install debian on a 2GB SD. I installed once a working 
 fine debian but I've broken the SD card. Now I get always this error:
 P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt
 E: Internal error: install
 
 Exists something i could do?

thanks for trying out Debian. I quote the FAQ from
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner:

During the debian stage of the install, what does E: Internal error:
install mean and how do I fix it? 

  * One possible cause is a problem with the armel packages in
Debian. Check /mnt/debian/var/log/bootstrap.log for dependency
problems or the like. 

  * If corrupt packages appear, then it might be related to the
microSD card used in the installation, as explained in the
discussion at the smartphones-standards. Other information are
available in the upstream bug. 

So please check the bootstrap.log, it might help you on.

Greetings,
Joachim

if you have _only_ zhone running (ie no xfce or what desktop/window  
manager ever), the answer is no.
if you use xfce and start zhone as application inside -- add it to xfce's  
autostarts.

/usr/bin/zhone-session is simple script calling zhone,  
matchbox-keyboard-toggle and the matchbox wm.
comment everything out (you might leave matchbox-keyboard-toggle to acces  
the keyboard when pressing aux) and put startxfce4 at the end.
mine looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

matchbox-keyboard-toggle 
/usr/bin/startxfce4

and i have zhone and openmoko-panel-plugin as autostarts in xfce.

  - alarm keeps vibrating the phone, after pressing snooze
  - each received call arrives twice, causing the second call to show

 Yup! I have all of those issues you mention. Anyway, USB networking
 is now working after i flashed mwester kernel. I am able to ssh but i

 I checked /etc/resolv.conf and it is empty.

Fix the resolv issue by putting the line nameserver A.B.C.D in
your /etc/resolv.conf (A.B.C.D being the IP of your own nameserver).
Always needed for usb connections.
But still ... too many issues found in 2 minutes of testing for this to
