Re: [Debian -FSO -GPS] No Fix

2008-11-30 Thread arne anka
 Daniel asked for a _complete_ log just 3 hours after the initial bug
 report (Ticket #265). But no answer until now...

well, i assumed, the op would have provided one.
anyway. i did a
grep ogpsd
over my frameworkd.log (almost 100.000 lines since 2008.11.29 00:07:12)  
and there still are about 40.000 lines -- i cannot check them all for  
maybe private information (should be none, but who knows), so i won't  
attach it publicly viewable.
shall send it to you as pm?

Optimization team update (11/23 ~ 11/29)

2008-11-30 Thread John Lee
Dear Community,

As Sushama (our new testing team member) indicated in
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-November/003493.html ,
we won't have a release in Nov.  Currently the testing team is going
to do a full test on the latest testing image.  It has all the goodies
we did and a lot of improvements over Om2008.9, so please try it and
report any error you find.


Upgrade howto:

From Om2008.9 it's recommanded to upgrade with the following steps:

sed -i -e 's%Om2008.8%testing%' /etc/opkg/*.conf
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop
screen -DR
opkg update
opkg -force-overwrite upgrade
# (please ans Y to all questions)
# (the sshd (dropbear) will restart, so you need to reconnect and do
# 'screen -DR' again)
opkg upgrade
shutdown -r now

To get the fastest boot time you also need to remove the following
packages:

opkg remove task-base-nfs task-base-smbfs task-base-bluetooth \
task-base-usbgadget avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd blueprobe \
usb-gadget-mode portmap exquisite exquisite-theme-freerunner \
exquisite-themes


Known issues:

* GTK redraw problem
* some obsolete kernel modules still left in system
* must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot.
* will purge your incompatible e config, so you might need to set
  stuffs like suspend time again.


Echo:

Since there are different hw versions out there (a5, a6, a7), it's
impossible to provide one alsa state file that suits all models.
However, it seems you can always find appropriate values for your
neo.  My way is to adjust
control.4 Speaker Playback Volume in
/usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state

the max value is 127, 95 works best on my a5.  With volume level 3 or
4 in qtopia dialer, the other side can hear no echo while I get good
audio quality.


Team update:

Tick helped to put his touchscreen improvement into stable-tracking,
he will work on opkg internals next.  Olv moved to look into kernel
and fso.  Erin will try bluetooth.  Julian is working on the GTK
redraw issue, please help him out.  Jeremy will fix some qtopia bugs
and keep working on suspend/resume issues.

John

The underlying software is working (cross-compiler, libc, busybox,

Re: [Debian] TSLIB_TSDEVICE no longer getting set

2008-11-30 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

Am Sonntag, den 30.11.2008, 02:09 + schrieb Christopher J. White:
  AFAIR, it is not necessary anymore to set this variable,
  if /etc/X11/xorg.conf and/or the udev rules are set up correctly – did
  you by any chance modify that?
 
 I was running Xglamo at the time, so I had modified xorg.conf to point
 to Xglamo as the display device.

I thought Xglamo does not need any xorg.conf? But maybe that’s just
rumors.

 However, something happened that
 screwed that up, both for Xglamo as well as fbdev.  Right now neither
 will work.
 
 In fact, it's rather strange.  If I start xinit manually after setting
 TSLIB_TSDEVICE, it works:
 
 $ export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
 $ /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/Xsession
 
 However, when I run it in a fashion similar to /etc/init.d/nodm, it
 fails:
 
 $ /bin/su --login --command /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/Xsession root
 
 This is despite putting the export command in .bashrc and verifying that
 it's set.  I even tried verifying that it was getting TSLIB_TSDEVICE:
 
 $  /bin/su --login --command printenv root
 [...]
 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
 
 However, it still fails to work.
 
 I removed and then reinstalled xserver-xglamo, and the error messages
 changed, but it still does not work.

This is the original xorg.conf, as installed by the install.sh script:

# Xorg confiugration for an Openmoko FreeRunner
Section InputDevice
Identifier  Configured Touchscreen
Driver  tslib
Option  CorePointer   true
Option  SendCoreEventstrue
Option  TslibDevice   /dev/input/event1
Option  Protocol  Auto
Option  Width 480
Option  Height640
EndSection

Section Device
Identifier  Configured Video Device
Driver  fbdev
EndSection


You still have problems with that file? Anything interesting in the X log file?

Greetings,
Joachim

Does this mean the fix is only through alsa? So the fix mentioned here:

is not ok? Since that fix is the only real fix for my echo issues (and

Re: Audio format

2008-11-30 Thread Pander
What would be a convenient place to store ringtones in such a way that
selecting a new one can be done from the same directory as the default
ringtones without changing to exotic paths?

I'm looking for a 'home' for ringtones, notifications, etc. and for
alternative places where they could be expected and link from there to
the ringtone home.

For example, store the ringtones somewhere here:

/opt/Qtopia/etc/SystemRingTones/custom.ogg
...
/opt/Qtopia/etc/SystemRingTones/alarm.wav
/opt/Qtopia/etc/SystemRingTones/phonering.wav
/opt/Qtopia/sounds/alarm.wav

And from here links (in FDOM) to the new ringtones so that in this case
linphone can also access them

/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/custom.ogg -
/opt/Qtopia/etc/SystemRingTones/custom.ogg
...
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/oldphone.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/synth.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/bigben.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/toy.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/sweet.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/rock.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/tapping.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings/orig.wav
/usr/share/sounds/linphone/ringback.wav

Who can give some advice in this matter?

Thanks,

Pander

Yes, this is what my xorg.conf currently looks like, and no luck.  

Running just /usr/bin/xinit or /usr/bin/startx as root, I get:

(EE) PreInit returned NULL for Configured Touchscreen using tslib

X starts up, but no pointer action.

So...I took the next step and started defining all the TSLIB variables:

$ export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
$ export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
$ /usr/bin/xinit
[]

xf86TslibControlProc
[config/hal] couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))

And *now* I get successful pointer action.

Now that I figured this out, I can put those two exports into my .bashrc
for root, but the same trick for my normal user doesn't work.  Trying to
start xinit or startx manually gives permission errors
on /var/log/Xorg.log.0.

So this tells me something changed that used to set the TSLIB vars
before starting Xserver.  Can you grep for TSLIB for all files
in /etc/X11 and below and see if you see it there anywhere?

recognized by Raster's keyboard - now it dicts quite well, except that some 
often used (internet) slang words are missing...
Has anyone got a german word list with word frequencies yet? The one I got 
(debian package wngerman, /usr/share/dicts/ngerman) only has the words, but 
no frequencies which makes finding the right word difficult sometimes, 
especially I can't get the wordlist on the keyboard to scroll (is this even 
implemented?) without selecting a word accidentally.

Another suggestion to Raster: I think it would be useful to have the whole 
word getting deleted on backspace while one has a language dictionary 
activated (in contrast to a terminal/programming one) because mostly the 
whole word gets wrong instead of just some single characters.

Re: German dictionary for Raster's keyboard with frequencies?

2008-11-30 Thread Pander
In the Netherlands you have http://opentaal.org, that is where I got the
information for the Dutch dictionary which will be released real soon.
Perhaps a german speaking country has a similar organisation that has
this data from harvesting documents and compiling an extensive word list.

What is wrong here? What you've shown is a correct operation
as far as I can see. May be you wanted ifup/ifdown instead
of ifconfig up/ifconfig down? Former are scripts which parse
interfaces file and setup things as described, while latter
are simple commands to bring interface up/down.

PS And consider using ip addr and friends instead of venerable
ifconfig. ip command is newer way of operating network
interfaces.

Hi John -

| * some obsolete kernel modules still left in system

If we didn't do it already, the packaged kernels need to move to having
/lib/modules path that is specific to the kernel device and build,
similar to what the ./build script does:

/lib/modules/2.6.28-GTA02_andy-tracking_d0aa5acc0be7c573-mokodev/

The branch and hash stops any conflict about module versions, and the
device tag GTA02 allows multiple kernels to be installed on the same
rootfs, so you can share the SD Card between GTA01 and GTA02 say, both
times with SD Card boot to the right kernel.

At the moment Qi has ro boot everywhere by default, is this restriction
just a temporary workaround for something?

Be sure to see my previous analysis sent upstream:

The problem arises because gtk_window_move_resize() temporarily freezes
redraws on the assmption that gtk_window_configure_event() will be
called shortly afterwards, but this never happens.  It could be that
the expected configure_event is actually happening _before_ the
move_resize, but I don't know what the expected order is.  In fact, I
think it might not even required to be in any particular order.

I think this arises from an interaction of the specific way
Enlightenment manages things combined with the assumption mentioned

forwarding works for me (with xfwm4 on my laptop).  It also explains
what someone described to me on IRC: that with Debian the same problems
appeared only after changing WM to Enlightenment.  They were going to
add a comment to the ticket, but don't seem to have done so yet.

Every sane person :-)  No a lot of people are still using 2.6.24, all

A lot of people are using, sure. But all the real work is done on

explanation about every branch's purpose.

 If he already knows it then fine, but people have been targeting

That is strange. If they read the kernel list, then they already know
what's going known and where you're heading. If they don't, how can
they do kernel development then? Out of the context, in isolation?
Just like samsung with their huge outdated patchsets, that can never
be accepted upstream and therefore can be considered being dead before
they born?

Oh, you seem to be repeating the same thing you said earlier just to
explain to me what's going on. I'm sorry for wasting your time. I
think i understand you. The problem is that i'm not a native speaker
and i tend to construct too complex sentences even in my native
language.

What i'm trying to explain is that i see it as plain obvious that
anybody who wants to work on a kernel stuff should coordinate their
efforts on the kernel list. That anybody targeting fixing bugs in
suspend/resume knows about 2.6.24 deficiences long time ago. What you
said to Jeremy sounded to me like: Hey, don't cross the street on red
light, you might get hit by a car and die, you know. I was surprised
that you treat a kernel developer from the optimization team like a
child. If he is not experienced in kernel development why then didn't
he ask you what kind of help was needed and decided to choose a task
himself?

And why the optimization team is still trying to fix bugs in Qtopia
and derivitaves? Let Nokia do their work, if they really want
to. Wouldn't it be better for the optimization team to hack on FSO or
at least (as they are in Taiwan, that should be easy for them) get
those bloody 100uF capacitors in place to finally provide the users with a
decent bass?

I don't want to sound too harsh to the optimization team. I just don't
see them being public enough, coordinating their efforts with the main
developers (of FSO and kernel) enough, going forward enough. I'm just
afraid that they are somewhat like that mythical interface design
department that never publicly communicates and demands technical
nonsense from the real developers. (btw, i still remember the idea of
taking a screenshot before suspending, oh boy, that was a bad sign
from the optimization team)

No personal offense meant.

e definitely does things differently to other wm's - it has a state machine

actually - what i need to do is have short and long stroke. short is delete 1

 Check out hackable1.org. They're based on  Debian  and  you install by
copying directly to SD card. I was able to install it and so far, so good.

 HTH,

Thanks Andy and Marian,

I'll try to add the loglevel=8 to the U-Boot, not tested for now.

First I have tested the Marian solution, and I understand now the 
difference between the NAND and NOR. NAND can be modified with the 
configure-uboot.sh script file. The NOR cannot be modified.

I'm testing Hackable:1. I've installed Debian before Hackable:1, and 
modified the NAND menu  a few weeks ago but always boot in NOR, so I 
don't know if it work with the default configure-uboot.sh and Debian in 
NAND.

Testing the Marian solution, I've modified the NAND boot, added the 
sleep 2; but on NAND boot it say now :
boot
Failed to mount ext2 filesystem...
** Bad ext2 partition or disk - mmc 1:1 **
Wrong image format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
/boot

I'm using the Hackable:1, so I think it was the problem as it boot 
Hackable:1 normally in the NOR (fat+ext2), with allright the freeze 
problem for Flash and MicroSD.

I've done a fsck.ext2 -v -y -f /dev/mmcblk0p2, but no changes.

Any clues,

Regards,

Maelvon

[OM-testing] change default dialer volume

2008-11-30 Thread Tomas Riveros Schober
Hello list,
I've been playing around with the daily testing image and found it to be 
reasonably good. The only thing that I've not found how to do i to set 
the default in-call volume (the qtopia-dialer one) since on every call 
the volume starts at 0 so, as you can imagine, i can barely hear anything.
Anyone knows where to set the default value?

regards,
Tom

 Hi all,
 Does anybody knows which alsa statefile, and which control should I edit
 to raise/lower the volume of the ringtone when receiving gsm calls?

Until you answer the stereoout.state file is used. I guess you should
set the 'PCM Volume' and 'Headphone Playback Volume' controls.

As I've written in the bug #2140 two days ago, to avoid this issue the
openembedded PhoneProfile.conf should have been updated, but it seems
that it hasn't been.

Btw you can easily fix your problem by editing the file
 /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/PhoneProfile.conf
Adding, for each profile, a line like:
 CallVolume = 3

Yes, but that's in that bug that I posted the patches that fixed that
issue (no caller audio if not ringing - that was present in the first
git revision containing the volume slider); and there I posted also a
diff to complete the patchset and fixing the side effect you've mentioned...

I think it's not shipped yet, so maybe it exists only inside openmoko.

 Does this mean the fix is only through alsa? So the fix mentioned here:

 is not ok? Since that fix is the only real fix for my echo issues (and
 it seems to come from 2008.8).
 
 Franky

That fix is already in testing repo, maybe over 1 month now.  However
even with this patch there is still chance you can hear echo.

Let's say A calls B, and B is using a neo with this fix.

1. The receiver (handset speaker) is loud enough and the mic is
   sensitive enough, so gsm won't turn off the mic.

2. A starts speaking right after B, but gsm needs a little time to turn
   off mic.

In either case you can still here a little echo.  Much better then
before, of course, but still a little.  I was talking about 1. in my
previous post.

 This is interesting, I have an a5 and the default value of FSO M4.1a:
 
 control.4 { 
 comment.access 'read write' 
 comment.type INTEGER
 comment.count 2 
 comment.range '0 - 127' 
 iface MIXER 
 name 'Speaker Playback Volume'  
 value.0 116 
 value.1 116   
 } 
 
 Sometimes I ask people on the other side: do you hear echo? The answer
 has been no.
 
 Rui

116 was the old value I use before I updated the alsa state file from
FDOM.  There was no/very little echo, but the other side always
complains they cannot hear me very well.  I also feel the receiver
(handset speaker) is unnecessarily loud sometimes.

The new alsa state file uses 116, but boosts the mic path a little bit
more, so it solved the can't hear me problem while makes the echo
even easier to happen.  With the new state file, 95 is the best value
for me because I can always make it louder if necessary with Tick's
volume bar in qtopia.

 Hi John -
 
 | * some obsolete kernel modules still left in system
 
 If we didn't do it already, the packaged kernels need to move to having
 /lib/modules path that is specific to the kernel device and build,
 similar to what the ./build script does:
 
 /lib/modules/2.6.28-GTA02_andy-tracking_d0aa5acc0be7c573-mokodev/
 
 The branch and hash stops any conflict about module versions, and the
 device tag GTA02 allows multiple kernels to be installed on the same
 rootfs, so you can share the SD Card between GTA01 and GTA02 say, both
 times with SD Card boot to the right kernel.

Yup, but it won't make opkg remove the unnecessary modules.  It's a
problem that needs to be solved in OE.

 | * must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot.
 
 At the moment Qi has ro boot everywhere by default, is this restriction
 just a temporary workaround for something?

I think it's related to Olv's new boot scripts.  I have rough idea
about why but this can be better explained by him.

 Just a thought, it can be worth Olv and Jeremy bouncing what they're
 planning on doing off the kernel list.  For example some advice for
 Jeremy about suspend / resume issues would be don't waste your time
 doing any suspend / resume work on 2.6.24 kernel, only on

Thanks for the reminder.  :)
