Re: gentoo on freerunner

2009/1/19 Mathieu Rochette math...@gmail.com:

Hello Mathieu,

I'm a project members of the Gentoo overlay for the Freerunner.
In the last weeks we managed tobe included in the official Gentoo-Overlay.
So you can find our overlay at http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/embedded or
get it via layman. As Damien already said, it contains some cross-compile
fixes, ebuilds for the FSO framework and different PhoneGUIs, so I highly
suggest to start from the overlay.

Our biggest problem right now is the poor documentation... :-( One thing
you can do is to post to the http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/gentoo/
Mailinglist or join us in the #gentoo-openmoko IRC channel on freenode.

 One solution I read about (and seems great) is to install crossdev on my
 desktop PC to create a system for armv4t. I was using paludis but switch
 back to emerge recently. I think either one is ok?

Both should work.

 Finaly, I have a remark about the embded overlay I found (I guess the
 mainteners read this list). It provides fso software and various stuff.
 It also provide enlightenment. This is just a suggestion, but I think it
 would be better to rely on vapier's overlay for that.

We include newer versions of E17 and EFL to keep track of the fast
illume development. But the plan is to later feed back our work to
Gentoo in general and also to the Enlightenment overlay.

 Mathieu.

[Om 2008.12] qtopia-Keyboard still keeps annoying me

2009-01-20 Thread Sven Bretfeld
Hello 

I followed the Howto in the Openmoko-Wiki to replace the qtopia-kbd by
the Illume kbd. QTOPIA_NO_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD=1 is set. But the qtopia-kbd
still pops up from time to time on the first virtual desktop and stays
there for good (it cannot be popped-down by the qwerty-Symbol). 

On the other desktops the Illume kbd works, but the qtopia-kbd leaves
annoying graphical traces when switching to another desktop (a
horizontal bar across the display showing the silly predictive
suggestions). Also, when Enlightenment is restarted after a crash, the
qtopia-kbd automatically replaces the Raster's till the next reboot.

Is there any way to prevent the interfering qtopia-kbd more forcefully?
Can it be safely deinstalled for ever?

Thanks for help

 Helge Hafting

 
 After trying a few different things, now one of my first moves is to
 delete /home/root/Maps and replace it with a symlink to the SD card Maps
 directory.

Thanks for the tip - the workaround worked.

 Where I live (Perth, Western Australia) there are large areas of
 surrounding sea/land/forestry/desert etc that use a single colour tile -
 each of only 103 bytes.  I symlinked all identical files (based on
 md5sum) such that only one copy of each is kept.  This has the advantage
 that as ext2/3 uses fast-symlinks, the actual symlink (provided the path
 is  60 characters) is stored in the inode and doesnt take any block
 space on the FS.  This shrinks the size as given by du -sh from 3.3Gb
 down to ~550Mb.

Interesting idea.  Half of my tiles are blank too.
But what happens when tangogps (or yaouh or whatever)
re-downloads some previously blank tile that now has a new road on it? 
Will the link break for that tile? Or will the sole blank tile be 
replaced, so that every blank area now has the same road on it?

I don't keep a tile repositiory on my desktop, I download
directly to the freerunner.

I removed the Maps/OSM symlink, and did this change. It seems to work! :-)

I noticed another problem yesterday though. I worked around the
problem by making a symlink, and the program ran. I have
slightly more than 50.000 tiles. After a while, Yaouh had worked through
12000, updating about 4000. It seems 1 in 3 tiles were changed.

This took a lot of time, so I left it running overnight. It crashed
sometimes during the night, and the disk was not full.
The log file merely told that yaouh.py was
interrupted by a segmentation fault.

Could there be a memory leak? Or will yaouh use memory proportional to 
the number of tiles (or perhaps the number of out-of-date tiles)?

With 128M and 5 tiles, there is no more than 2684 bytes per tile. So 
linear memory consumption will not work well.

Ability to select several (but not necessarily all) songs

Olivier Migeot wrote:
 Hi ev'ryone,
 
 I'm currently experimenting things with the Antaris chip, and I'm
 starting to like it - at least through FSO and it's gpsd compatibility
 layer. I've been browsing through the UBX protocol specification, and
 I stumbled upon one interesting parameter : the dynamic platform model
 of the navigational unit.
 
 Simply put : using this, we should be able to explain our chip that we
 are either by car or by foot, and get more serious tracklogs
 (providing this is doable, 'cause the doc states (SW Versions 3.04
 and higher), so I'm not sure whether or not we qualify).
 
 I did some quick tests, using my work phone as a reference (an HTC
 Trinity with a Sirf chip) : when logging car trips, both tracks are
 pretty close. Like a few meters. Far better than what I expected, at
 least. But when logging pedestrian trips (and I do quite a few), the
 Antaris starts to behave like ... a car. Every steep turn I took is
 throughly rounded on the Neo-based log. So I guess the current setting
 of our chip is car. So I wonder : does anyone here know whether we
 got version 3.04 or higher of the software?
 
I see the opposite. My SiRF unit rounds a lot, and may decide to cut out 
a walk around the house completely. But I can walk the Antaris around a 
4mx4m square and record a square with nice sharp corners.

Check if you have run out of inodes - there are only so many to go

are no free inodes.

and

$ echo aa  aa

So it will overwrite.  Not a problem for me as I dont use gprs (too

master.  Started out this way as kept losing the partition in the early

anyway, corruption occurs quite readily so I dont trust it :)

Alternatively, identify the symlined master and make it read only - wont
update, but wont overwrite all similar tiles either.

Also, I didnt think tangogps overwrote files already downloaded - it

A little thought - if a tile is to be replaced, delete it first (and
therefore if its a symlink, problem solved.  Scripts like yaouh could be
easily adapted - tangogps, may not be necessary - need to prove that.

Re: Pimlico on the Freerunner ?

2009-01-20 Thread arne anka
 i find it very frustrating that i and others have lots of software
 ideas, that can be coded/re-packaged, but we're hamstrung by what
 should be a fundamental piece of software that openmoko does
 everything in their power to support

switch to debian and the whole fascinating world of debian packages is  
open to you.
openmoko has several times made clear that they have too limited resources  
to do _everything_ and that they are concentrating on hardware and basic  
software.
everything above that is a community task.

and, there's still osmo, at least in debian taht offers the same  
functionality like pimlico, judging from descriptions and screenshots.

tangogps uses the cache - until you notice that the cache is getting old
and ask it to download. (Click the map, select map download from the 
menu) The visible area is then downloaded,
plus a user-specified amount of extra zoom levels for that area. Any 
existing cache for that area is replaced.

I do this (using USB networking) when I have updated a place

Does it download  overwrite all tiles already downloaded in the

Re: Yaouh! out (update for tangogps maps)

2009-01-20 Thread Helge Hafting
Helge Hafting wrote:

 I noticed another problem yesterday though. I worked around the
 problem by making a symlink, and the program ran. I have
 slightly more than 50.000 tiles. After a while, Yaouh had worked through
 12000, updating about 4000. It seems 1 in 3 tiles were changed.
 
 This took a lot of time, so I left it running overnight. It crashed
 sometimes during the night, and the disk was not full.
 The log file merely told that yaouh.py was
 interrupted by a segmentation fault.
 
 Could there be a memory leak? Or will yaouh use memory proportional to 
 the number of tiles (or perhaps the number of out-of-date tiles)?
 
 With 128M and 5 tiles, there is no more than 2684 bytes per tile. So 
 linear memory consumption will not work well.
 
I think I may have found the problem. yaouh (and tangogps) outputs lots 
of text while working, and this text ends up in /var/volatile/tmp/x.log
(Or /tmp/x.log, /tmp symlinks to /var/tmp which again links to 
/var/volatile/tmp.)

The file is currently 30M, yaouh is not the only offender, but the
file keep growing.

Now, /var/volatile is tmpfs in main memory, so I am currently wasting 
30M of the precious 128M this phone has. (A quarter of all memory,
for a log file!)

This output is rarely seen by users. I guess it is useful for debugging,
but could be removed from a production release, or at least add a
debug flag that must be used to get output. If the amount of output is 
proportional to the amount of tiles being checker or downloaded, then 
some users will run out of memory just from that.


Looks like many programs like to fill this log. People who don't have 
swap, and see instability after too much uptime, may want to check the 
size of /var/volatile/tmp/x.log. My 30M accumulated over 4 days, I have 
swap to help me though. It looks like tmpfs is limited to half of 
memory, but the remaining 64M could get tight. Also, some programs don't 
like it when /tmp gets full.

A reboot fixes this, but we don't want to reboot to clear out logfiles. :-/

 Just click anywhere on the map. map download is the last item on the
 popup menu.

 There seem to be a bug in that the zoom level you're looking at doesn't
 get updated. A user-configurable amount of zoom levels below are
 downloaded though. I therefore tend to zoom one level out before
 downloading.

 I don't know if it uses etags, but I guess it blindly downloads all. If
 it used etags, then it could save space by not having tens of thousands
 of identical copies of the blank land tile and the blank sea tile.

 Helge Hafting


I think you got me wrong: yes, I know that it can download new tiles,
but if you already have downloaded the tiles of some area and then
after some months you'd like to get the latest map tiles (=dowload the
latest, changed tiles), does the 'download tool' do it or does it see
that the tiles are already there and will not download anything.

In some update scripts the etag is used to recognize if the tile on
the server is different than the local tile and if it is, then the
tile file is downloaded.

Or maybe I got you wrong :)

Anyway, a tool to upgrade the tiles (that uses the etag thing, not
downloading all the files) is needed and I think we've seen it now,
just need to test..

 My point being that for more capacity you need to have bigger battery.
 It's not possible to contain more energy in the same amount of

Status of Opimd (FSO-PIM)...

2009-01-20 Thread Marco Trevisan (Treviño)
Imho, the Personal Information Manager is what the FSO stack is really
missing (at least, I'm not fully switching to any framework-based distro
since I need a good PIM)... I've heard many times that Opmid is coming,
but I don't see anything arriving since quite long time.

The latest git commit on opimd dates back to September 8th, I've heard
also that his main author is working on this an near to the release, but...

So, please, could someone inform us about his status and the plans for
it? I guess that this would be good also for people that would like to
improve it.

Feel free to try it, and let me know the results :P
Just kidding, it seems logical that these batteries don't have the capacity
declared, as they are five times cheaper than original batteries and claim
to have doubled performance... I was hoping I'm wrong, but as everyone
thinks the same I'd rather get a second FIC battery.

I am currently developing a sync app for the Neo. At the moment it only

But it has an addin interface for different PIM applications. So it

[2008.12] Pause mplayer on call ?

2009-01-20 Thread Lothar Behrens

Hi,

I have played a bit with mplayer, with has great sount from my  
BT3030 :-)


But is there any way to pause mplayer when there is a call coming in  
(qpe) ?


I currently do not use any GUI for it, so mplayer may only killed with  
any usefull signal to pause.

Then how to restart it again.

This is not only to mute the music, but also to propably safe cpu time  
while the call - especially

when mplayer is reniced to -19.

I had a look into the qpe config file, but I have noting got out of it  
to enable such a scenario.


Are there any event's I could attent on instead tweaking any  
application ?


Thanks

Re: [2008.12] Pause mplayer on call ?

2009-01-20 Thread Dylan Reilly
Pausing mplayer is probably going to be problematic without re-writing
it. Firstly, you would have to run it in slave mode so that you could
write to the process using a pipe. Secondly you will need to get a
signal that a call is inbound. The latter is not readily available to
systems not using frameworkd. If you are using qtopia to make phone
calls, chances are you do not have frameworkd.

If you did, you could add an event in
/etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml. If you have this file, you
will see rules relating to incoming calls. Then you would need to
craftily send a signal to your mplayer instance to pause playback.

Personally, that sounds like no fun. Mokoko (I believe) [1] and the
hacks to pythm I made (search the mailing list) have support for this
feature. Mokoko is easier to install. Maybe there are others, but I
forget.

 usefull signal to pause.
 Then how to restart it again.
 This is not only to mute the music, but also to propably safe cpu time while
 the call - especially
 when mplayer is reniced to -19.
 I had a look into the qpe config file, but I have noting got out of it to
 enable such a scenario.
 Are there any event's I could attent on instead tweaking any application ?
 Thanks
 Lothar

Re: Pimlico on the Freerunner ?

2009-01-20 Thread Samuel Pereira

Hi,

Try this openmoko-contacts2


Samuel



Hmm - pimlico looks much nicer than qtopia-contacts.

Any package for this?

Rather than develop new generic framework that can be configured to do
anything (paroli and friends) - could we not write a dialler that uses
this contact management for a quick and easy solution?

Hi,

If you check this page ...http://pimlico-project.org/dates.html

They have a screenshoot of FR.

This packages are on opkg.

opkg install openmoko-dates2 openmoko-tasks2

In OM2008.x Contacts uses other package from qtopia.

Hi list

I just discoverd the Pimlico project :
http://pimlico-project.org/
which aims at providing a simple Pim solution for mobile devices.

The website links to some pre-built binaries, but there are none for
the gta02.

I would like to know if someone had or could package the sources for
the freerunner ?

Thanks in advance

Midori font size

2009-01-20 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
Hi!

My midori (from 2008.8 repos) looks like this:
http://scap.linuxtogo.org/files/826544e6e1f3599edf85881090476c72.png

Someone has it looking like this on Debian:
http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/midori1.png

Compare the font sizes - what's wrong with the version I'm using so
that it shows the fonts that huge in the page making it mostly
unusable for web browsing. The zoom-thing doesn't work.
All the menu texts could also be smaller. Any tips how to do this?

How to scramble a playlist ?

2009-01-20 Thread Lothar Behrens

Hi,

I have seen two applications that could scramble text files.

http://www.vanheusden.com/unsort/

and

http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/rl/

Is anyone on a similar solution to port it onto OpenMoko ?

Or are there shellscript solutions ?

Thanks

DPI is totally different. While I have it at 75x75 you have
284x285. If some web page specifies that letters are 1/8 inch tall
they are going to use 9 pixels on my screen and 35 pixels on your screen.

Re: How to scramble a playlist ?

2009-01-20 Thread eric
Here's a way to do it in python:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, random
filename = sys.argv[1]
a = open(filename).read().strip().split(\n)
random.shuffle(a)
for i in a:
 print i


If you're not famililar with shell stuff:

Save that to a file like scramble and then do:
python scramble myfile

You can just type scramble myfile after you've done
chmod +x scramble

Probably you want to redirect the list into a file:
python scramble myplaylist.txt  /tmp/shuffledplaylist.txt
or you can add python code to accept another argument for an  
outfilename and write the file -- with a check to make sure you're not  
overwriting an existing file (don't want you to overwrite your  
playlist on accident :)

Re: Pimlico on the Freerunner ?

It's not the calendar we're concerned about. We can't get the toolchain to
work. I'm not sure how many others can or can't, but I can't. If I got a
working toolchain so I could compile for the FR, then I could go find my own
calendar app (such as Pimlico's). :\

Unless I'm quite mistaken, the request was for Openmoko to offer an
officially-supported development environment, beyond a tarballed toolchain
and wiki instructions.  Personally I've found the toolchain to be
sufficient unto my needs, and have pointed people to an Ubuntu-based vmware
image at the FR stuff link in my sig that contains preinstalled
toolchain, qemu, and various other useful accoutrements.  But an official,
actively-maintained and actively-supported complete development environment
/would/ be welcomed by many in the community, IMHO.

able to see the 'default font size' too, not only the minimum font
size that I had changed earlier already.
