Jabra BT3030 experience anywhere ?
Hi, I like to know if someone has used this bluetooth stereo headset and how the steps are to got it running. Also I like to know what distributions are actually having a fully functional bluetooth. I have had FSO image milestone 4.1 that at least was able to see the headset when scanning but I was not able to do the bonding steps with the dbus command line samples, that I do not find today (link). With that samples and the passkey-agent --default I only got error messages that tell me there is no reply to the dbus command. Removing the --print-replay didn't helped anyway. Also I tried some python scripts that did not work due to a missing import (gtk). Where is the related module ? I didn't found any with opkg list | grep gtk. There are some, but I don't know what to install. Any hints therefore ? BTW, I updated my FSO image milestone 4.1 yesterday and got a brick :-) There is an issue with the touch screen driver that doesn't function anymore. If someone updates, please capture the output for review here (I haven't done it :-) If there is any success with that pice I will know it. I'll test another phone image today if I have time.

Re: Workaround for using speech-dispatcher without blocking /dev/dsp for other apps
Interesting workaround ;) Pratically, the only modules to cheange from alsa to oss (for me) are: - espeak.conf - festival.conf - flite.conf - ibmtts.conf But, for a n00b like me, it is not clear how the /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher file should be adapted. Could you provide directly the adapted file? Regards, Korbinian Rosenegger wrote: Hi Many of you had problems with openmoocow not mooing or lightsaber not starting and complaining about No available audio device. This is often (always?) caused by speech-dispatcher blocking /dev/dsp. So here's a workaround for using speech-dispatcher without blocking the sound device for applications that use OSS. It's using the OSS output of speech-dispatcher and starting it with the alsa-oss wrapper for using ALSA. The reason for this is because the OSS output opens the sound device only when needed for speech output while the ALSA output keeps it open all the time (which wouldn't be a problem when using ALSA only since then the drivers can do mixing, but the OSS compability layer in the kernel does not support mixing (as fas as i understood it, has to be done in userspace with dmix)). I tried it with dmix on my freerunner, but it sounds rather bad, so I found this workaround. Steps to do: - Install alsa-oss and add a missing link: opkg install alsa-oss ln -s /usr/lib/libaoss.so.0 /usr/lib/libaoss.so - Change the output method of all used modules in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/*.conf from alsa to oss - Use the aoss wrapper in /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher. Do this twice there (once for start in line 18, once for restart in line 31). Change the second line from --exec $DAEMON to --exec aoss -- $DAEMON: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \ --exec aoss -- $DAEMON - Restart speech-dispatcher - Enjoy openmoocow or ko-lightsaber while speech-dispatcher is running I hope I haven't forgot a step here. If any of you has a better solution please let us know. (Of course you also can run lightsaber or openmoocow with the aoss wrapper without touching speech-dispatcher. Maybe this is the better solution, but then you have to touch every app that uses OSS, and maybe you'll get similar bad quality as with dmix like I did.) Maybe someone knows if it is possible to let speech-dispatcher behave the same with the alsa output method to open the sound device only when it's needed?

Re: Freerunner LightSaber
Well, I have Hackable1 installed on my Freerunner as well, and I thought it would work on that no problem after installing python-pygame. But, after installing pygame (apt-get install python-pygame) I tried to run it and I got an error message: open /dev/sequencer or /dev/snd/seq: No such file or directory The program doesn't crash, it keeps going, just with no sound. Which, makes the app useless.

Re: handwriting recognition. was:Re: Dual touch display
There is also matchbox-stroke. It's in the openmoko repos. Just do: opkg install matchbox-stroke. I tried it on Om2008.12 and I like it. But the configuration file is incomplete, so it's impossible to enter many letters and characters. Even space was not configured, I configured it manually in the configuration file. So if someone would write a good configuration file for it, it should be usable. Matchbox-stroke puts a white space on the bottom of the screen. You don't need so much space to write a character. I think we could use the combination of handwriting and buttons. Maybe something like this - http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/2745/strokemg2.png (I made it with GIMP). The @#$ button would display an onscreen keyboard to enter special characters (because I tink its hard to remember the strokes for all the characters) and the mode button would toggle between number mode, lower case mode and upper case mode. I tink this should be usable with fingers too. I would do this myself, but I can't code :( I think that if we had a good handwriting recognition program, all the keyboard problems would be solved. At least for me. Because I used to have Sony Ericsson P800 and I really liked it's handwriting recognition. I could hold the phone in my hand and write the characters with the same hand's thumb. I lost the stylus of my P800 long time ago and I wasn't missing it at all. On Debian I tried cellwriter too. It works really good, but it's only usable with stylus.

Re: Jabra BT3030 experience anywhere ?
Hi,
It seems like Steven managed to get his headset working routing the
sound over HCI. The FR has this high tech sound chip that is directly
connected to the GSM module and hence can (theoretically at least)
keep the CPU off while you're on a phone call. This mode also supports
full duplex (which AFAIK is unsupported using HCI routing) which means
you can use both the mic and speakers of the headset for a phone call.
I'm not sure if anyone has been able to send sound to the headset from
the CPU on a Freerunner using the Wolfson chip directly. The way the
FR is supposed to work though is the control channel of the headset
needs to be routed through HCI and the sound should be through the
wolfson, else it will end up eating out the battery.
I've not been able to get my Jawbone working with either way, it
doesn't have A2DP support... It works with the same version of Bluez
using my laptop and other devices... The most I've gotten out of the
FR is that the connect and disconnect happens properly and it's acked
by the headset - HCI packets get sent using the method above, but no
sound on the FR. Same for the wolfson way. I've tried setting all the
alsa params possible... Maybe someone can shed some more light on
this.
