Re: Neon 0.9.6 is out

2009-02-05 Thread OpenMitko
Great work Valery! Keep it that way.

2009/2/3 Valery Febvre vfeb...@easter-eggs.com

 Hi,

 A new release of Neon is available.

 This is a major feature enhancements release.

 Changes since 0.9.5.1:

 * Images can be now auto-rotated by images dimensions (not by EXIF
 data).
 In other words, image is rotated if image's orientation is landscape.
 A new command line option (-r, --auto-rotate) has been added to
 enable/disable this new feature.

 * Added timers to auto-hide image viewer navbar and toolbar.
 A new command line option -d (--bars-disappear-delay) has been added to
 adjust auto-hide delay of this new feature (disabled by default).
 This feature is disabled if delay is 0.

 * Added the index of the image, the total number of images and the
 image's size in addition of the image's name in the image viewer.

 * Added a slideshow functionnality.
 A new command line option -s (--slideshow-delay) has been added to
 adjust the interval (default 4 sec.).

 * Added images properties: dimension, size, EXIF metadata, ...

 * Added a new theme 'Black  White'.
 A new command line option -t (--theme) has been added to choice the
 theme to used.

 As usual you can get it at:
 http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/?group_id=239

 BEWARE:
 If your system uses Python 2.6 (not 2.5) like SHR unstable, you must
 install alternative package neon_0.9.6-r0_all_py2.6.ipk

 Yes, I use SHR unstable.

 For a first install, I think there is no problem.
 If a previous release of Neon was already installed,
 it is perhaps neccessary to delete a file.
 Can you look if the file /usr/bin/neon.pyo exists.



 If yes, remove it.

 If it's not the case, can you send me the output error?

 the 'neon.pyo' file doesn't exist at all and 'yes' I had the previous

 I think it's a problem with python versions.
 :

 ln -s /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/neon/
 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neon

 This is the output:

Thanks for the info, Thomas. It's interesting, my file
~/.gconf/apps/tangogps/%gconf.xml in my laptop and in the FR has only
the value 

stringvalueOSM/stringvalue

and tangoGPS is happy; maybe the rest are hardcoded defaults in
tangoGPS;

As I said, I have my maps in my FreeBSD based laptop and syncing them
over with 'rsync' to another netbook and to the FR. If someone owns a laptop
I think this is the right way todo because the update takes its time (around
half hour for 2000 tiles) and if you have like me some 12000 tiles it
will take many hours. Thats why as well I dropped the Python Gtk tool
yaouh0.3_alpha.py and wrote my own one just as a command line shell script
(attached as yaouh.sh); in any case thanks to the original author of Yaouh for 
the
idea.

My script as well honours the existence of a file '.../OSM/lastrun' and one
can just create this file with

$ touch -t 02050724  lastrun  ## MMDDHHMM

to exclude, in this example, all tiles which are already newer then February 5,

Just keep your system clock in sync with network or with the gps
clock and you are done. The /dev/input/event2 or /dev/input/event3
With sound that is afaik not as easy as that.

 That page has several ways of finding the revision, and they seem to

 So, a gta02.v06?

Correct. I guess this is in NAND somewhere, written at manufacture.

 A gta02.v5?

This one depends on the GSM firmware version I think. AFAIK there is only one 
moko10 firmware image, so it may report the same version on all hardware. Did 
you upgrade to moko10 manually, or did it ship like that?

 I still dream of sending sentry:map and get a MMS with a

 (instead, the telco sent an URL for downloading the test image.)

 I'm definitely not an expert, but receiving mms is basically receiving a sms
 with an url (e.g. the one from your telco), and browsing that url using wap,
 without user interaction.. Same thing for posting. So, it's only a
 software issue...

Very interesting. Openstreetmap already has a webserver that looks up 
locations by URL, such as:

http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=63.41283lon=10.4888zoom=15layers=B000FTF

Would such an URL work on a MMS-capable phone? This URL is
javascript, but a few simple calculations can yield a link
directly to a tile png file instead.

The patent office sees obviousness differently to engineers. Having a patent 
for something on a tractor for a particular reason doesn't stop someone 
getting a patent on the exact same thing for the same reason on a fork lift. 
Somehow it isn't obvious that if it works in one situation it'll also work in 
a similar one. They see moving the idea from one type of vehicle to another as 
an inventive step rather than an application of the blindingly obvious.

Re: New Release of GuitarTune v0.20 (based on Alsa)

2009-02-05 Thread c_c

Hi,

Ed Kapitein wrote:
 
 ... so when playing a G the tuner hears a A.
 
 Well, I only own two accoustic guitars - and it seems to be quite accurate
for me. But then fundamental freq detection is not a guarantee with the
signal processing I'm doing. There are many things that can throw the tuner
off - like background noise for eg or the particular characteristics of the
guitar.

So, here are some questions that would help me understand the approach to
take to make the program more accurate.

Are you using an accoustic guitar? 
Is the tuner consistently hearing a higher note?
Could you verify by using some other tuner what the error is?
Could you try after keeping the freerunner really close to the guitar?

Ed Kapitein wrote:
 
  is it possible to select manually which string you try to tune? it could
 filter the input signal at that frequency and perhaps make recognizing the
 correct tone easier.
 
Well, the current method I'm using (FFT followed by a harmonic spectrum
product) wont be affected by knowing which string you're tuning. 
Then again, I could use another method of determining the fundamental freq
(goertzel algorithm) perhaps, which would need to know the target freq.
Though that will be totally different program.

So, right now, I would prefer trying to get some feedback and improving the
code to see how it can be made more accurate. And your feedback would help
the most since you're the first one to tell me its off :-)

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for updating it (I have no time to check it now, will come back
later to this);

just a note; I did already a change in my CVS because sometimes the wget
fails and let the file with zero bytes, i.e. it is better to let in this
case the old file remain; the logic is like this:

   wget --user-agent yaouh.sh -q ${baseURL}${file} -O /tmp/tile.$$ 
   test -s /tmp/tile.$$  {
   cat /tmp/tile.$$  ${file}
   printf updated\n

No problem for the english - it will work fine. Their extra keys can be

 tend to be built to support it - as   it tends to keep more people happier

 particular language/locale/country - it'd be different. :)

I understand that there is little interest in making a phone

lowest common is the best way. A keyboard with several extra blank keys,

å sticker on the key to the right of p.

Those who want a radically different layout, such as dvorak, take the 
lid off and carefully rearrange the keytops. Same for azerty-layouts.

Programmable is better, but if someone wants real keys that depress with 
a click, then this is possible too.

Debug Boards 50% off from Truebox

2009-02-05 Thread Antony King
Hi All,

We're having a bit of a clearout of the warehouse, and have rather more debug 
boards than is strictly sensible. Therefore, we are reducing them from £88 to 
£44 + vat  delivery until 23rd feb. In the UK that's £67.85 all in - see [1] 
below. We take most debit/credit cards, and would expect to dispatch these 
within 2-3 working days weather permitting.

These are the normal version 3 debug boards [2] that support serial console 
and jtag interface for reprogramming NOR flash etc.

Antony.

 I guess the PM GUI stuff is choking simply because it doesn't know about

 There are several known problems in 2.6.24 branch we won't fix that are

 neat little script for this great idea - I cleaned the output a little,

parallel wget is an easy one; just modify the script that it can run
parallel (i.e. have  the file lastrun the number of magnification 2-17
appended) and fire up the script for each of the magnifications;

hey , it's UNIX :-)

I doubt you'll get a solid answer on that one until close to release (Osbourne 
effect has been mentioned) but GTA03 was rumoured to have camera, but EDGE 
(2.5G) rather than 3G. See the link below, and the rest of its thread, for the 
reason 3G is unlikely in the near future. 3G will have to come at some point 
though, as telcos in some countries are hoping to turn off 2G.

You're suffering the same problem as I last night :-)
the only usefull value in your %gconf.xml for this is:

stringvalueOpencyclemap/stringvalue

there is no value at all for OSM and the value for Opencyclemap does not
contain the other values, like base URL and invert;

all this is as well in tangoGPS but also in yaouh a bit crude and not

Be patient with my poor English but... I don't understand all your
explanation :(
Is there a way to solve this issue? I don't know much about that file
(%gconf.xml)... But the cl features of yaouh! 0.3 are calling me :D

I've opened the config tab on TangoGPS, pressed Edit after selecting
the standard OSM repo, and I've pressed OK to confirm current
settings. Incredible, I get a segfault:

on_combobox1_changed():
*** on_combobox1_changed(): reponame: OSM
http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%d/%d/%d.png
Segmentation fault

and TangoGPS exits immediately. Now, I don't know if there are problems
in the config file, if this is a known bug, or if it is shares his
causes with Yaouh 0.3, but... something is not working in the right way.

Do you think that the segfault of TangoGPS 0.9.5 during the edit of
repos settings is related with the impossibility of Yaouh 0.3 to catch
the current maps from TangoGPS?

2.6.28 kernel and modutils

I am attempting to discover a good set of modules to load when using
2.6.28 as packaged through fso/shr. The tar.gz of the images do not
seem to contain enough module references in /etc/modutils to replicate
the base functionality that was present in 2008.12. Is there some list
I can reference as I am not well versed in what module does what?

In the very least, I would like to have usb ethernet working so I can
get the rest working by trial and error :^) I can get the device to
register via usb networking by loading usbserial and cdc_ether.
However, I am presented with no route to host when attempting to

 In polish, we are often communicating on IMs, SMSes, IRC, chats etc.
 without polish accents (ą-a; ę-e; ó [which is pronounced as u]-o;
 ś-s; ł-l; ż-z; ź-z; ć-c; ń-n). In SMS to have more chars in one
 message; in IRC/IMs to type faster or to ask, how to set polish
 keyboard layout in Linux ;D And some words without accents means
 differently after dropping accents (for example laska vs. łaska),
 but we don't have problems with communicating in that way.

cool. so you can survive. if an engine let you lazy-type without chosing
accents and put them in for you (or you could type a whole word then just
select the one accented correctly) then this may save you time.

  oh its not the extra keys - its the variations in production. 
 I know. Which is why I suggest one single keyboard for all, with
 the maximum amount of keys instead of the minimum. That way, every
 language (at least every latin-based language) can have a normal keyboard.
 
 No problem for the english - it will work fine. Their extra keys can be 
 blank, or used as hotkeys. Users with other languages can add whatever 
 they need - and in the correct location too.

that's not practical. have you SEEN all the accented characters available? its
moe than going to double the # of chars in a kbd. otherwise you then need a
compose mode where multiple keystrokes gives you æ or ø or ü or ñ etc. and its
a combo you need to learn. you still need to offer all the accents then on such
a kbd. like ~^'`,* (ãâáàäąå) which drastically will cramp the keyboard or make
it yet another row bigger for everyone. (in addition to some form of compose
key and specific compose logic).

i am not saying to do it - but to me that seems he job of specialised keyboards
per language, not a universal one.

  just a change in printing whats on the keys is not free. software keyboards
  are
 A project like openmoko have the option of leaving that to the users.
 Supply a sheet with small letter stickers for all languages, and a 
 printed sheet with where each letter normally go for the 
 software-supported languages.
 [...]
 
  it sucks. but english is the lowest common denominator and thus most
  things tend to be built to support it - as   it tends to keep more people
  happier than  some other setup. if there was enough volume to make enough
  units for a particular language/locale/country - it'd be different. :)
 
 I understand that there is little interest in making a phone 
 specifically for Norway, when the volumes are low. That doesn't mean the 
 lowest common is the best way. A keyboard with several extra blank keys,
 and the english qwerty printed on the keytops will work fine for the 
 large group of english-language users.  Norwegians like me will simply 
 put the ø and æ stickers on the 2 keys to the right of l, and the 
 å sticker on the key to the right of p.
 
 Those who want a radically different layout, such as dvorak, take the 
 lid off and carefully rearrange the keytops. Same for azerty-layouts.
 
 Programmable is better, but if someone wants real keys that depress with 
 a click, then this is possible too.

this would be the best solution - if its a hardware keyboard. a software
keyboard is always the most flexible... but its currently also probably the
least usable and not just because of software, but the fact a resistive screen
only accepts  touch at a time and typing will mean commonly 2 touches at a time
(as you press the new key before you release your finger on the old one). :(

  But there are other cases, where it is not that clear:
  ólt - pound (accusative)
  ölt - he killed ...
  olt - to graft
 
  sure.. maybe being an english speaker.. this doesn't bother me so much as
  english is full of such words... 1 word can have 2 or 3 or even more very
  different meanings. written the same way. only context lets you figure it
  out. so to me i go so.. what's the problem? :)
 
 Sure, many words can have different meanings. But you missed the point.
 
 When english has multiple meanings of a word, you pronounce the same
 way, it is the same word.
 But with accents, you pronounce very differently because it is not the
 same word!

actually... no. there are cases where 1 word, written 1 way can have multiple
meanings and pronounced multiple ways... some examples:

row, wind, lead

use:

i had a row on the lake! - ambiguous meaning when written. could mean you
rowed a boat on the lak, or had an argument on the lake. pronunciation is
different in the 2 row's, but when written, it's the same.

 The correct analogy for english would be:
 Lets assume the character 'v' is just an accented version of character 'n'.
 Now when you want to write vice president, you always and up with
 nice president.
 See the difference?
 
 Better example: merge the character e with a. I think you get the idea...
 ((
 Battar axampla: marga tha charactar a with a. I think you gat tha idaa...
 Can you decrypt? Sure. By computer? Maybe. Was nice to read? I highly doubt
 it. ))
 
  i don't have the bandwidth to go solving every language on the planet's
  input problems.
 
 I didnt ask you to do so.
 I said, you cant just ignore the accents, because, most of the time,
 it is not a modifier of a char but a whole another character.
 
 It is the same case what Helge at the beginning said for norwegian
 language (for/fôr, tå/ta).
 
 I simply confirmed the same problem exists for other language too.

well hungarian created a more complex case with compound words that go well
beyond what german does. thats the problem :(

[2008.12] Kustomizer 0.2 released

2009-02-05 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
Hi!

A new release of Kustomizer is made, see
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kustomizer

Kustomizer is a script that converts your clean OM 2008.12
installation on Openmoko Freerunner into a usable
phone/pda/toy/something.
The script is licensed with GPLv2 licence. The applications that it
installs around the Net might have other licenses, check the original
sites for more information.
The first time you run Kustomizer, it installes opkg.org repository,
Illume-theme and terminal keyboard, files for better call audio
quality, xterm. Also a CPU resource bug is fixed (qpe). A restart is
required for this to take effect and Kustomizer will do this for you.
The second run will install the rest: loads of cool applications,
GPRS, link map direcories from µSD card, mokoservices and tap/untap
etc. You don't have to make the second run if you don't want.

Changelog:

# Version 0.2 - 2008-02-06
# CHANGELOG IN THIS VERSION
# (new) two run system:
# 1st run: illume-theme, wrench, qwerty are installed, opkg.org,
storage.conf/qpe-bug fixed. Then restarted
# 2nd run: user needs to start Kustomizer again (and switch
suspend/dim off!!) - the rest is installed
# Rewriting the instructions
# General cleaning
# (new) ntpclient
# (new) http://www.opkg.org/package_121.html - MokoMaze
# (new) ttf-liberation-mono (vala-terminal uses this)
# (new) battery http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Forcing_fast_charge_mode
# (new) runs /media/card/customscript - the user can add his own stuff there
# (new) automatic prevention of suspend  dimming
# (update) yaouh - version update
# (update) neon - version update
# (remove) Finnish keyboard layout  dictionary
# (remove) custom scripts from card
# (remove) cellhunter - on FSO-based only?
# (remove) Guitartune - on FSO-based only and libfft fails to install
# (remove) fourier - libfft fails to install
# (remove) zomg and appmanager - less used..
# (remove) pingus - doesn't install
# (remove) mumpot - useless for most
# (remove) usbmode - battery replaces most of this
# (fix) watch checkrate changed from 1s to 2s
# (fix) libglade-2.0 - libglade-2.0-0

Hmm.. at the moment installing yaouh and tangogps leaves yaouh useless
because of the hard-coded addresses in tangogps..
Anyone have a working tango config file for these 5 repositories?

Thanks!

And thanks for crediting me for ideas in yaouh :)

The 2G frequency is a licensed band, telcos lease it from the
authority, which means once the contract is expired, telcos will no
longer be entitled to use the Frequency anymore. Why would a 2G/3G
operator want to dismantle its 2G network? Big money was invested on
building the 2G infrastructure, it is still generating revenue, unless
the OPEX for the 2G network is too high, but as far as I know most 2G
networks are still performing better than the 3G network. 2G also acts
(IRAT) as a backup role for 3G CS service when the 3G capacity is
reached maximum...

The only people who wish to see 2G being turned off are the people
like myself who hate being radiated by so many frequencies, I live in
Taipei, we have three 2G(GSM)/3G(WCDMA) operators, one CDMA operator,
one PHS, one Public Wi-Fi, many unlicensed home wi-fi...

 Is there a way to solve this issue? I don't know much about that file

 I've opened the config tab on TangoGPS, pressed Edit after selecting

 on_combobox1_changed():
 *** on_combobox1_changed(): reponame: OSM

 Segmentation fault
 
 and TangoGPS exits immediately. Now, I don't know if there are problems
 in the config file, if this is a known bug, or if it is shares his
 causes with Yaouh 0.3, but... something is not working in the right way.
 
 Do you think that the segfault of TangoGPS 0.9.5 during the edit of
 repos settings is related with the impossibility of Yaouh 0.3 to catch
 the current maps from TangoGPS?

I really don't know; please file a bug report to the author of both,
tangoGPD and Yaouh;

 No. Openmoko decided that the case didn't add value in a way  
 that  was unique to Openmoko or central to their core competencies.

 What it pretty much came down to was the price (most importantly  
 payment terms) and shipping were extremely high. Combined with the  
 fact that we added the NOR chip. Made us decided to create only one  
 product this time around.

That's understandable. That aside, the packaging is still quite well  
done and gives the FR much more of the feel of something that's been  
productized and much less a one-off.

At this point I've had it for a week and it basically is what I  
expected it to be. It's a Linux device that can be a phone and still  
has some rough edges.

I'm currently running FDOM 200809_20081023 as a rootfs and Om2008.9  
for GTA02 as a kernel.


 Thanks a lot for buying a FreeRunner, BTW!

NP. Thanks for making it :)
