[SHR-unstable] wrong timezone setting
Within a month getting problems with setting localtime. As far as I can see there is a wrapper in /etc/timezone, where a timezone should be written. Put there 'Europe/Moscow'(without quotes) and u have to restart to make changes to it. It seems that symlinking /usr/share/zoneinfo/whateverzone to /etc/localtime is dangerous as the FSO wrapper edits the file /etc/localtime. So instead of restarting the phone u may just copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow to /etc/localtime and check with $(date) command that shows that tz has correctly changed to MSD. But if u restart, soon after entering the PIN the timezone will fall back to EET.

Because it didn't work at all, I upgraded SHR last night. Today, the backlight stayed on, I could see my map all the way to work. I then quit tangogps and expected the backlight to time out. It did not! So no I have a phone with the backlight stuck on, a very power hungry condition. Hm - on closer inspection I see that ophonekitd has crashed. Its resources are not released unconditionally when the process ends? I didn't notice the crash at first, because the phone works so well without. I can send and receive SMS and call out. (the new message doesn't show, but the sound is there and I can read it in the messages app.) The only thing missing is that there is no way to answer the phone when it rings. I restarted ophonekitd and tried to release the resource again. ophonekitd ended without error message, and mdbus complained: /org/shr/ophonekitd/Usage: ReleaseResource failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply I hope this isn't too hard to fix. I plan on using scripts requesting the CPU for all data-gathering apps (tangogps, cellhunter) so the phone don't suspend while they are in use. And I also plan on requesting the display for mokomaze and tangogps. Because these should be on for a long time without touch input. Actually, I have two tangogps icons - one that keeps the backlight on for car navigation, and one that merely reqeust the cpu for data gathering without external power. I assume ophonekitd uses reference counting, so multiple apps can request the display/cpu at the same time? And release one after another, with suspend happening only after the last user has quit? it did not... but does now. Is there a way to check what resources are held and by who? Sort of like a ls command for resources? Is it possible to forcibly release the display so the phone can work normally again - except for the obvious reboot way? in addition to the ophonekitd bugs there was also a bug in frameworkd regarding the release of the display resource.

[Debian] e17 screen lock
So, I build e17 from svn and use it with illume on Debian. By default, the e screen locking function goes to a password lock, which obviously isn't good for the FR. I know that on SHR using illume this instead goes to a simpler lock mechanism that can be unlocked just by pushing a button or whatever. Can anyone suggest how I can get behavior like this instead of the password lock?

No DNS in Qtmail
Hi everyone out there, I configured qtmail on my freerunner (running Om 2008.12) although as I tap on the Get all mail button it tells me it cannot find the server (after having said BLABLA - DNS Lookup). The strange thing is that is I go on a terminal and ping the same server it gets resolved (and pinged) properly. Is this a known issue? Does not qtmail use resolv.conf as everyone else? Any help is really appreciated, Takke ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Just looked through the example frameworkd.conf and there aren't any examples of using either the locally configured timezone or manually setting it in frameworkd.conf. Is there a way ?

Re: [SHR-unstable] wrong timezone setting
Yes, there is a description on frameworkd.conf on the wiki. Really, should be a commented example in the frameword.conf file itself - would be a lot easier for users.

(i think this works because of the same bug, that prevents the illume kbd from resizing of used in landscape mode. all credits go to Michal Brzozowski (god i hope i spelled it correctly) No, I mean remove both the other two keyboards so only terminal is left. Then the word space and switcher are redundant and they both can be removed saving space. My fingers are too fat to use either of those two, the dictionary is hopeless and they take forever to type a message as you are always trying to fix the mistakes they make, stroking the keyboard rarely works properly so you are continually trying to select/delete or whatever and failing. As the default always pops up first until you select terminal, its better to remove them altogether (and they always pop up first when writing an sms for example) Others say it works, and I suppose it does for them, but to me its one of the worst parts of the freerunner interface and the first bit I disable by uninstalling numbers and default (or in the case of shr-unstable, just coping terminal over the top of each). Terminal has its own problems/annoyances (the animation encourages miss-clicks and takes up valuable cpu cycles - tried to find out how its done so it could be minimised to just a quick blink to tell the key has registered a press, but didnt find it - one day ... :) These tiny key keyboards can only be used by normal people using a stylus - what we really need for SMS is a large keyboard taking up much of the screen and only a tiny window for text (160 chars) - in fact thats what most other keyboardless phones seem to do, for good reasons.
