Re: [Shr-Devel] New features in opimd queries

2009-08-27 Thread Thomas Zimmermann
Am Donnerstag 27 August 2009 00:08:44 schrieb Kero van Gelder:
  If you set _at_least_one to some non-false value, opimd will switch
  into at least one field mode. Query {'Name':'dos', 'Content' :
  'Test', '_at_least_one': True} will return entries with Name = dos
  *or* Content = Test. Without '_at_least_one', opimd checks if entry
  matches to all fields in query (so Name = dos *and* Content = Test) .
 
  Now you can also query values greater or lower than specified. To do
  that, you can use '_gt_Timestamp' or '_lt_Timestamp' fields (replace
  Timestamp with whatever you want). Those field names are equal to
  '_float_gt_Timestamp', '_float_lt_Timestamp'. There are also
  '_int_gt_Timestamp' and '_int_lt_Timestamp' fields which you can use
  with integer values, when you don't need float. Maybe it gives some
  performance speed-up ;)

 Is that _gt_20090101: birthday or _gt_birthday: 20090101 ?

 (and if the latter, I think _birthday_gt: 20090101 reads better since
 it is infix notation; I find prefix notation ambiguous to read)

 I have no idea why you want to make a distinction between floats and
 int on dates. Either your underlying format is based on floats, or it
 isn't. and I would need to know whether your int is a day, or a second.
 Instead, I'd like you to convert my query to the underlying format, so I do
 not have to worry about it, ever.

 In my experience, using OS native time is no too bad. -131 is
 December 1901, there are not too many things I'd like to put in a
 pim suite, that happen(ed) before that. And I guess anything non OS native
 is likely slower than OS native. That's assuming the comparison of
 timestamps is taking more CPU cycles than parsing my timestamp-string in
 the first place.

 Bye,
 Kero.
I think Sebastian implemented these gt and lt functions because of me. I need 
them for opimd-dates.
The Problem with a timestamp string is: what format does it have? In this case 
we have to include the format defenition into the API. Then it's a lot easier 
to use unix-timestamps they are easy to parse and compare...

Unknown boot options

2009-08-27 Thread Leonti Bielski
Hello!
I'm using latest Qi with latest SHR-U.
This problem bothers me for a long time but just now I decided to find
out what seems to be the root of it.
Every time I boot my device I see kernel message stating:

Unknown boot option 'g_ether.dev_addr=MAC' 4 times in a row.

It does not affect anything but I hate to see error messages when my
loglevel=1 quiet and my device is perfectly fine.
It happens to me every time using Qi and I don't know how to make it stop.

Re: Enhancing launcher - feedback

2009-08-27 Thread Leonti Bielski
Can you make cell broadcasting info adjustable?
I'm OK with receiving info about my location but we have other info
broadcasted like dating services and this is not what I want to see
(although it can be funny sometimes).

Another thing about broadcasted info - when the message is long it
still stays in one-line expanding the launcher window which makes it
unusable.

Qi reads factory partition to make ethernet gadget use fixed
predefined MAC address. If g_ether is statically compiled in there's
no way to set MAC address other than supplying it through the kernel
command line. If g_ether is a module, the recent modprobe will look at
the kernel command line and load the module with corresponding
parameters.

I guess Qi should support both modular and compiled in g_ether, hence
it has use the kernel command line.

To sum up, i don't know the answer how to hide those messages but at
least now you know why they appear. :)

Re: Om2009

2009-08-27 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
Angus, a lot of respect goes to you for asking the opinion of the
community and listening to our needs!

To me it looks like moving over to SHR makes sense: focusing all
available resources and skills on one distro instead of trying to keep
OM2009 alive with waayy too little resources. I believe this would
take us far, to compete with other smart phones, maybe have a
non-geek-only -phone one day!

OM2009 has been a nice distro but the lack of developers makes it a
doomsday machine, dead end, ...

And I've also heard that SHR testing has been without care already for
a loong time and desperately needs someone to work on it. As you said,
your time is also limited so I suggest you take the
coordinating/consulting responsibility of that and first try to find a
'core team' to work on testing - I'd think some SHR devels would be
happy to make testing work. It might again be a little too much if you
try to do it alone so a team to work on it would be good and also make
the work more pleasant as you could share your thoughts with others.

And a great thing is now that we have Paroli on SHR. I don't know if
someone has already tested it or have been able to make a call but I'm
looking forward for you and Mirko to fix it :)

Did I already post this for everyone to read:

 Dear Community
 As you also notice I'm very exited for the new app showroom and how
 all the things are going in this aspect, and I was thinking in how to
 all host this.
 What do you think about Tuxbrain sponsoring this hosting on a
 dedicated server with a decent bandwith 100Mb/s ,maybe shared with
 others FOSS projects, like the version control system for the showroom
 app ;)
 Do you will feel uncomfortable if we put our logo as sponsors?

 As draft for  roadmad, what do you think in in the first release we
 focuse in adapt apt-portal to only one distros (I propose
 SHR(popularity)  but staying with the functionalities apt-portal offer
 right now. and once released the first version, start working on
 improve and add more functionalities/Distros
 So basically there are r main tasks
 -Test  adapt if needed the import from opkg repository
 -Enrich the description of the apps and pics and vids
 -Desing the frontend for the app (at least for this firts version)

 As next stept for the next version, I will say:
 Including Debian(no mod needed) as distro and see how we can
 share/discriminate  info of same apps for diferent distros
 (descriptions, pics, vids, comments, packages)

 From here I spect to have some way better to manage milestones better
 than a post on mailing list to continue defining functionalities and
 improvements :)


 Regarding design of the site, as some also now Victor Remolina is a
 good designer and is as excited as I for the project, and would like
 to hear from you comments and ideas on how do you would like the
 showrom looks  to starting doing some proposals and mokups, this will
 ease to start the html templates. Everything is accepted now
 (brainstorming phase) feelings, colors, examples, and any kind of
 usuability/desing ideas ,  then victor (and any other
 designer/volunteer of course) can create some proposal based on this.
 and maybe do a kind of pool to decide between diferent options if more
 than one is proposed.

 Please comment and discuss :)

!Hola!

I must admit that every time I see a company announcing it's ready to
do something in the web (write reviews to a shared blog, host
something) I get some bad feeling.

But if the Tuxbrain logo isn't the biggest one on the site and other
people have full access to the code too I can't see any proper reasons
why this couldn't be OK. Especially it's great if you have resources
(like Victor the designer) to do the job!

And yes, I agree that first to set up it working for one distro first
and then start improving it from there, supporting other distros too.

I think the question is what distro should be first. SHR yes but
testing or unstable?
ATM testing's not used much and it's not maintained. We're hoping to
see someone to take it over (maybe nytowl will do it) and make it
usable again.
Most of the people use Unstable.

I think supporting unstable first is a stupid act - hey, it's unstable!
Testing makes more sense as things don't keep changing all the time.

But things being as they are now.. I really don't know. I fear that if
unstable's the first to be supported, no apps will ever find their
ways to testing.

Waiting to see the appstore uprunning somewhere :)

(ps. now that SHR seems to be the #1 distro, I remember that someone
somewhere said that this showroom installer could be integrated to SHR
installer - Freerunner GUI for Showroom!)

I believe using Debian for the basic implementation of the showroom would cut 
down the amount of work a bit. And since I don't expect the showroom to be 
working perfectly from the first start (it's software) it might be better to 
work on a distro that is not evolving as fast as SHR (i think). I mean, data 
(urls, version numbers, etc.) that has been put into the showrooms database 
for testing yesterday is most likely still valid tomorrow - if it's about 
Debian.

This question also has a caveat. Before the end of the month I will be

devote to Om2009. So if Om2009 does move forward the progress will be slow.

In light of a real job, Om2009 hardly seems worth the sacrifice by the

 Thanks Sebastian.

 The whole point of the thread being : will it be kept up to date ? :)

 Do you see something wrong in using nightly auto builds for SHR?
 
 If only we can be sure about quality of navit svn repo (so it'll be
 buildable every time), we could try to set navit to AUTOREV. But I
 don't think it's needed - as (if only navit guys didn't changed
 everything drasticaly) building new version of navit should be now as
 simple as s/2520/some-newer-revision/ ;)
 
 

My point was to ask if there was any reason for not using AUTOREV.
It's been a while since the last failure for the moko build, and we have a
bot sitting in our channel which gives compilation results in live.

I'm personnaly upgrading navit almost everyday, along with the shr updates.

Re: QNavitCtl - Navit Bookmarks via dbus

2009-08-27 Thread Petr Vanek
I had to use navit for geocaching the weekend (because tGPS refused to
show map tiles for some reason, automagically resolved now) and found
it quite imprecise (not to say unusable) when walking around very small
distances (~5m). Seems like Navit averages the GPS signal for car usage
and tGPS simply shows on the map what it reads from the chip.


did you perhaps have the menu: settings-rules-lock on road option on?

 I think Sebastian implemented these gt and lt functions because of me. I
 need them for opimd-dates.
 The Problem with a timestamp string is: what format does it have? In this
 case we have to include the format defenition into the API. Then it's a lot
 easier to use unix-timestamps they are easy to parse and compare...

Is there any documentation for date related opimd entries? I'm worried that if

Re: New features in opimd queries

2009-08-27 Thread Sebastian Krzyszkowiak
On 8/26/09, Sebastian Krzyszkowiak seba.d...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi!

 I looked today into implementing new features in opimd queries. Since
 ages special field _limit was supported, limiting number of results
 returned by query. Now there are more special fields :)

 If you set _at_least_one to some non-false value, opimd will switch
 into at least one field mode. Query {'Name':'dos', 'Content' :
 'Test', '_at_least_one': True} will return entries with Name = dos
 *or* Content = Test. Without '_at_least_one', opimd checks if entry
 matches to all fields in query (so Name = dos *and* Content = Test) .

 Now you can also query values greater or lower than specified. To do
 that, you can use '_gt_Timestamp' or '_lt_Timestamp' fields (replace
 Timestamp with whatever you want). Those field names are equal to
 '_float_gt_Timestamp', '_float_lt_Timestamp'. There are also
 '_int_gt_Timestamp' and '_int_lt_Timestamp' fields which you can use
 with integer values, when you don't need float. Maybe it gives some
 performance speed-up ;)

 Also, sorting is implemented on opimd side. To specify by which field
 you want to sort, use '_sortby' field. Default order is ascending, you
 can change it to descending by setting '_sortdesc' to non-false value.

 Recently opimd also was teached how to use libphone-utils, so it can
 do phone resolving correctly. So now quering {'Phone':'tel:663123456'}
 will return contact with phone '+480663123456' (country code, national
 prefix and other friends has to be configured in libphone-utils. In
 SHR there is SHR Settings module for that, you can do that also
 manually in /etc/phone-utils.conf. To use that features, you have to
 have python-phoneutils package installed.

 Work on inteligent queries was also started. Now when you query
 {'Name':'dos'} in for instance Contacs, and after that new contact
 with name 'dos' arrives, ContactAdded signal is emitted in that query
 path. GUI apps can make use of that to dynamicly update screens.

 New domains were added - Notes, Tasks, Dates. Notes domain seems to be
 finished. Tasks domain isn't used anywhere yet, so I don't know how
 usable it is ;) But basics should work, as it's based on
 GenericDomain, as every domain now (except Messages, but that's just
 because I'm too lazy ;)). I also don't know much about Dates domain.
 Heinervdm and morphis said that they will work on it, so let's see
 what they'll do :)

 Also - old feature, just to remind - opimd sends MessageUpdated and
 MessageDeleted signals (change Messages to Contact, Call, Note or
 whatever else). When using opimd interface for handling SMS, you get
 CSM (concatenated short messages) support absolutely for free

 And one thing about opimd-utils: package in shr-unstable was divided
 into opimd-utils, opimd-utils-data, opimd-utils-cli and
 opimd-utils-notes. opimd-notes is now included in shr fat image and
 opimd-cli is in both lite and fat images (will be there after next
 image build, now they're available in repo). I consider opimd-notes as
 finished in functionality, only some tweak ups due to async support
 and dynamic refreshing screen on new data has to be done :)

 frameworkd with all that features is already in shr-unstable
 repositories. I'll try to document all those features in FSO docs
 soon.

 Enjoy and happy coding! :)

Today I implemented new feature: you can enable case sensitive sorting
by setting _sortcasesens field to non-false value. Default value is
False.

So now answers to questions ;)

 Is that _gt_20090101: birthday or _gt_birthday: 20090101 ?

_gt_Birthday: 20090101
(but I prefer saving dates in UNIX timestamp format, as it's already
done in Messages domain)

 I have no idea why you want to make a distinction between floats and
 int on dates. Either your underlying format is based on floats, or it
 isn't. and I would need to know whether your int is a day, or a second.
 Instead, I'd like you to convert my query to the underlying format, so I do

opimd itself don't know what format fields are supposed to have. I
implemented _int_gt and _int_lt versions only because I thought using
them on int values could be faster that casting to float. Maybe I
wrong - then I can remove both _float and _int versions and leave only
_gt and _lt casting to float ;)

Correct. Epoch(UTC) should be the native format on dbus API level, but 
remember to include a flag that indicates whether timestamps are always

Which SHR-U image? That is important, because U is for unstable, but sometimes
it is stable (like 2009/08/08).

For me, the boot speed isn't much of a problem if I don't have to boot 
frequently.

In Om2009t5 I required a daily boot to have some stability in the platform.

As I *do* use the Freerunner as my main phone, and even though SHR is moving
the PIM parts to opim, let me tell you one thing which was quickly quite clear
for me: paroli in Om2009t5 was *definitly* less stable than the telefony apps
in SHR 2009/07/21 and 2009/08/08.

Right now I only carry a second phone for the contact lists, since SHR-U wasn't
still very ready for a full contact migration, but it's getting quite close to 
it
(many thanks to dos1).

I just hope it will handle about 200 contacts without noticeable delays.

 Which SHR-U image? That is important, because U is for unstable, but sometimes
 it is stable (like 2009/08/08).

I don't remember exactly, was last Friday's image IIRC. Today afternoon
I need a working gps device, but I might retry SHR when Paroli is
working on it... Don't like the UI of the SHR tel apps. :)

[SHR] kernel 2.6.30

2009-08-27 Thread Vinzenz Hersche
hello all
i just want to ask when the new kernel, 2.6.30 for the openmoko (shr-unstable) 
should be ready?

i just read a little bit about the new kernel, so suspend should work better 
and the kernel-image should be compressable, so may it's possible to build in 
more drivers (as example for webcam or other wlan-sticks, because of the bugs 
in the wlan-chip). so the new kernel also should boot a little bit faster.

hope, we had this one soon.. :)

the kernel for openwrt doesn't work for shr, i think...?

greets..

there is no such thing yet in apt-portal.

 Some days SHR-U is very stable and sometimes it is not as all the
 latest bleeding stuff comes in. Some of us can fix the SHR-U latest by
 downgrading+upgrading+force overwriting some stuff etc but for a
 newcommer to SHR testing build that has atleast gsm+gps working on 2nd
 boot is required so that he/she atleast gets a chance to experience
 SHR instead of thinking its a non-functional distribution.
For me following distris where unusable (as daily phone, which i need):
* paroli
* hackable
* android (missing tangogps)
* shr-testing (delay between answer and can speek)

the only _functional_ distri for me is: shr unstable (with all opkg
upgrades)

SHR first experiences user manual

2009-08-27 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
Hi!

Sorry for an ugly post.

Now that I also decided to go for SHR I was requested [1] to check if
the SHR user manual is factually correct.

So here are some comments:

SHR (Stable Hybrid Release) is here to provide you with Root
FileSystem images that you can easily install onto your Freerunner to
use as a daily phone. It's filled with prepackaged software that can
be installed upon demand by users

So I can off-line install the packaged apps? No, I bet you mean that
is has stuff pre-installed and you can get more from the
repositories..

Reading http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#SHR_Specific and
I already have the feeling that this hass too many tech stuff.. 'root
filesystem image', 'ophonekitd' - is that stuff really required here
to be able to use it? I prefer a nice smooth experience, easy for
beginners too. Do I now need to go and find out what's ophonekitd?


http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#Stability
Maybe the difference of testing and unstable should be written here,
not in the introduction?

btw. a screenshot (or logo when there is one) would be nice to see on
top of the manual page, it just would make it again a bit more
appealing.


http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#Installation

Maybe the differencies of lite and normal image should be explained
_before_ you tell where to get them? And somewhere later tell how to
upgrade -lite to normal

AFAIK only -lite images are currently available? (ok, dos1 explained
newest fat images were broken and he removed it)

Maybe 'source code' should not be in the 'installation' chapter but
more of 'devel' or something like that.

Image content: it'd be nice if there were links from the items to home
pages. What's illume? What's vala-terminal? What's pythm?

Installation: it might not be a bad idea to remind people to upgrade
the phone firmware and QI/uboot (and maybe tell which one is more
popular - see http://www.doodle.com/svvsubwnyn4zaxd3 )

Anyway, these are the files I flashed:
-rw-r--r--  1 rhk rhk 69992448 2009-08-08 17:49 lite-om-gta02.jffs2
-rw-r--r--  1 rhk rhk28596 2009-08-26 19:05
qi-s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr243+36bb5c03756268ff15b2d95a043ffb39a919ce5c.udfu
-rw-r--r--  1 rhk rhk  1832764 2009-08-16 23:32
uImage-2.6.29-oe11+gitr119838+2d158aae9d8d36f575504f59884ed8e80802efe2-r3.5-om-gta02.bin

flashing.

I'd like to be able to have a dir on my uSD and mount it automatically
as /home (on om2009 that was the folder bind-home on uSD) but I guess
manually editing fstab will have to do. Maybe that should be explained
somewhere here?

How come the check of version is explained before the booting process?

booting.

Initial setup:
Some lines about the possibilities there would be nice.. How on earth
do I know what profile to select? Or what 'quick launch' is? Or why do
I have to see screens where I only can select one item? ('irc' told me
that the quick launch menu has no effect.. nice...)

rebooting.

Screenshot showing the wrench would be nice.

The manual explains directly the wrench options - maybe SHR settings
would be more important for usual settings instead of double click
stuff etc..

Maybe explaining SHR post-installation SCP commands could be done on
SHR post-installation page instead of the manual. I think it's enough
to explain what is it and why to run it and then link to the page.

It isn't also told anywhere to run opkg update;opkg upgrade.

Post-installation script would run opkg update, not upgrade. And
here's a discussion telling the benefits of the script:

 Now I have a question of all of you. Should I continue to maintain Om2009. 
 From the recent poll by rhk it seems that SHR users outnumber OM users by ~ 
 7:1. So what I'd like to know is does anyone still think Om2009 is a worthy 
 venture or should I move over to SHR and see what help I can be there.

As a Om2009t5 user it's a big YES for me.
I know that numbers speak against Om2009, but I use and love this distrib.
I am using it since 1st july, and I find it :
- usable (hi Paroli !)
- stable while using (few reboots, only when battery exhausted or when I 
need to change SIM, which is rare)
- stable while upgrading : I was used to break lots of things while 
upgrading my SHR-U, it's far better with Om2009

Sorry to tell you but this is because there have been no changes in
OM2009 - nothing that could break anything.
SHR instead is developed all the time - changes when upgrading -
things might eventually break..

Re: SHR first experiences user manual

2009-08-27 Thread Petr Vanek
your observations are good :) . perhaps you spent more time describing
things rather then would take editing the wiki?

i just returned from holidays yesterday, so will try to check the page
and catch with the latest development that made many things obsolete.

the page has a life on it's own now, with many people editing it, with
shr changing and manual becoming obsolete. day after day, i think we
should actually stop editing it now and really ask shr team for
branching out a testing image and then base the manual on it, as things
will not change so rapidly so we can keep up with the manual.

RHK 13:44  dos1 cellhunter?
RHK 13:44  dos1 ...
RHK 13:44  dos1 use openBmap ;P
RHK 13:44  rhkfin no, not cellhunter :)

thanks for your opinion, this is a big world, isn't it :)

  I am not sure if all OSD Layouts should be placed on OSD wiki page [1], so
  i put it on my user page [2].
  Scrrenshots here: [3] - I was missing the upload file link in navit wiki
  and have them up there anyway...
  
 Actually i think they should rather go into the same page, otherwise they
 can be hard to find.
 IMO (but it's only IMO) user pages are better used for personnal notes until
 you document something in a 'public' page. Don't be shy, edit the wiki ;)

Will do.

 Also, the icon pack isn't needed anymore : instead you should rather use
 icon_s=96 and icon_l=96 (it was posted somewhere, and the default navit.xml
 has the right values).

My layout (direction, announcer) depends on 70px graphics, but I try to change 
it for 96px - but this uses even more space.
Any opinions from someone else if it would be better to use 70 or 96 for OSD?

Nice, thanks!

 the page has a life on it's own now, with many people editing it, with
 shr changing and manual becoming obsolete. day after day, i think we
 should actually stop editing it now and really ask shr team for
 branching out a testing image and then base the manual on it, as things
 will not change so rapidly so we can keep up with the manual.

AFAIK the problem now is that there're no people to maintain the
testing. Let's see if someone will stand up to do that.

Debian first experience made a bit easier...

2009-08-27 Thread Timo Jyrinki
Hi,

With the gust of fresh air everywhere, I took the liberty of joining
the mess that was combined http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian +
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner , so that in the end the
Openmoko wiki page is just a brief showcase about Debian and all
information is included in a sensible, structured way on the Debian's
wiki.

There is still the problem of install.sh having problems, but besides
that (waiting for debian-installer support) I believe trying Debian
out is much more easier now if you just tumble upon the wiki and start
exploring, instead of already knowing someone who uses Debian. Using
Debian on the FreeRunner is quite a great joy for anyone using
Debian/Ubuntu/etc. on the desktop.

Feel free to continue the work of cleaning up wiki(s). I was inspired
by Risto's call for wiki cleaning, and I had already for some time
thought the Debian side of instructions is in a terrible state.

As a Om2009t5 user it's a big YES for me.
I know that numbers speak against Om2009, but I use and love this distrib.
I am using it since 1st july, and I find it :
- usable (hi Paroli !)
- stable while using (few reboots, only when battery exhausted or when I 
need to change SIM, which is rare)
- stable while upgrading : I was used to break lots of things while 
upgrading my SHR-U, it's far better with Om2009

  

As another OM2009t5 user I'd like to chime in too.

Again, I love OM2009t5 compared to other distro's I tried before. It
was the first one for me with stable phone and GPS, no lost calls and
decent battery. Comparing to OM2007, OM2008 and Qtopia here, not used
any other.

And yet, I'd prefer the scarce development effort into going to make
one distro stable and featureful. If SHR is that one presently, then
yes please, let's get SHR stable and have a big repository full of
applications available as soon as possible.


Just my opinion.

Re: Showroom hosting , roadmap draft design

2009-08-27 Thread David Reyes Samblas Martinez
 !Hola!

 I must admit that every time I see a company announcing it's ready to
 do something in the web (write reviews to a shared blog, host
 something) I get some bad feeling.
:) I understand , as user/pseudodevel/colaborator sometimes I got the
same feelings , but without entering in much philosophy Tuxbrain was
born as a FOSS friendly(to not say lover) company and no reasons on
the horizon to leave that way :)

 But if the Tuxbrain logo isn't the biggest one on the site and other
 people have full access to the code too I can't see any proper reasons
 why this couldn't be OK. Especially it's great if you have resources
 (like Victor the designer) to do the job!
Talking about resources a

Intel Core2Duo 2x 2.33+ GHz 1066 MHz 64 bits
RAM 2 GB DDR2
HDD 2x 500 GB SATA2
Debian Lenny server is on the way to host this :)

 And yes, I agree that first to set up it working for one distro first
 and then start improving it from there, supporting other distros too.

 I think the question is what distro should be first. SHR yes but
 testing or unstable?
 ATM testing's not used much and it's not maintained. We're hoping to
 see someone to take it over (maybe nytowl will do it) and make it
 usable again.
 Most of the people use Unstable.
most people use unestable because there is no more option, if a
testing release is released any day I think people will happyly
migrate to that one time to time.


 I think supporting unstable first is a stupid act - hey, it's unstable!
 Testing makes more sense as things don't keep changing all the time.

 But things being as they are now.. I really don't know. I fear that if
 unstable's the first to be supported, no apps will ever find their
 ways to testing.
After reading 4 times this paragraph I understad you, you mean use the
showroom as motivation to devels/matainers to push to be in the
testing release to be able to appear in the showrom, well good point,
I hope we have a testing soon then :)

 Waiting to see the appstore uprunning somewhere :)
soon soon :)

 (ps. now that SHR seems to be the #1 distro, I remember that someone
 somewhere said that this showroom installer could be integrated to SHR
 installer - Freerunner GUI for Showroom!)

 That was me. I think I can also help you with providing web API for
 showroom (well, for integrating SHR Installer it's must have ;)) if
 there is no such thing yet in apt-portal.
 Can you define what funtions has to provide that API? what format or
 returning do you expect(plain text,html), the more detailed the more
 easy to see how to do it?

 Plain text, easly parsable. About functions, those are few I have
 already in mind: list of categories, list of top rated apps, list of
 apps from category, app details, vote. Maybe also some kind of
 searching, and way to login and logout if it'll be needed.
Ok taking note to analize

Re: Different Navit builds

2009-08-27 Thread Christian Rüb
   I am not sure if all OSD Layouts should be placed on OSD wiki page [1], so
   i put it on my user page [2].
   Scrrenshots here: [3] - I was missing the upload file link in navit wiki
   and have them up there anyway...
   
  Actually i think they should rather go into the same page, otherwise they
  can be hard to find.
  IMO (but it's only IMO) user pages are better used for personnal notes until
  you document something in a 'public' page. Don't be shy, edit the wiki ;)
 
 Will do.
 
  Also, the icon pack isn't needed anymore : instead you should rather use
  icon_s=96 and icon_l=96 (it was posted somewhere, and the default navit.xml
  has the right values).
 
 My layout (direction, announcer) depends on 70px graphics, but I try to 
 change it for 96px - but this uses even more space.
 Any opinions from someone else if it would be better to use 70 or 96 for OSD? 
 For the menu 96 is OK.


Here is a version I put on the wiki with a slightly different layout that uses 
96px png:

Re: Om2009

2009-08-27 Thread Warren Baird
I must admit that I switched from OM2009 to SHR-U about a month ago now,
since it looked like nothing was happening.

I must admit that aside from Paroli (which apparently is coming soon to
SHR-U - or already there), it wasn't obvious to me what the difference in
goals were - the two environments seemed pretty similar, and seemed to be
trying to do basically the same thing.

If the effort being put into OM2009 was to instead be put into making an SHR
Testing build that is a bit more up-to-date, and is kept stable, that would
make me pretty happy.

I don't see at this point why it makes sense to continue to put effort into
OM2009 as a distro...

Abandone it if and only if you can lead the SHR stable effort.

There are some technical difficulties with it:
- most of the shr development and key decisions take place at irc.
You are Canada based while most of the shr developers are Europe based,
so there are some timing issues here;)
- So I think the main developer channel should be something more permanent,
like a mailing list. And every key decision should take place on it.

However your message generated lot of response, but the main
shr developers didnt speak up.

So I think until you dont get all the required support (ie, people's
agreements,
mailing list setup, machine access, or using
the available infrastructure, having some policies, etc)
there is no question about abandoning om2009.

Simply because it is stable, and stays stable. And all we would get is
simply one distro less, and no adding value anywhere.


 This should not be interpreted as paroli being abandonned as paroli is in the
 SHR feeds. I haven't tested it, but getting it to work would be one of my 
 first
 tasks if it doesn't.

Maybe Im a bit biased here, but for me om2009 was perfect, because paroli
got the necessary support, and I didnt care much about the other programs...

But these days all special paroli requirements(eg: elementary) are provided
by default in SHR, so there is no significant difference anymore.


I would like to see the ubuntu approach:
1) Cherry pick a more or less working
shr unstable image, and start debugging, contribute bugfixes only.
2) repeat the above step in every 3 month.

For the first cherry-pick I would like to see waiting for the new 2.6.31
kernel with all the goodness, and stabilizing it.

Just an idea.

Putting the *S*table back in *S*HR!

2009-08-27 Thread Warren Baird
hey all,

As I (and others) mentioned in the recent OM2009 thread - One of the great
advantages of SHR is that it is being developed so quickly.  However, I'd
also say that one of the great *DIS*advantages of SHR is that it's being
developed so quickly that it's often not very stable, and the 'testing'
build is woefully out of date.

I don't have very much spare time in my life right now, so I unfortunately
can't take it on myself, but I think it'd be very beneficial if someone was
willing to step up and take charge of getting shr-testing updated
periodically, and maybe even releasing an shr-stable that has at least some
of the snazzy stuff from shr-u in it.

I can help with stability testing, and maybe a bit of documentation, but I
can't go much beyond that...

Anyone else willing and able to take this on?

SHR Testing and Stable (was: Om2009)

2009-08-27 Thread Michael 'Mickey' Lauer
-testing and -stable releases are possible, it's just a matter manpower. Right 
now, most of the people working on SHR are also developers, who -- by nature 
of the development process -- need to work on the unstable distro while 
they're developing their apps.

I don't think anyone in the SHR team would object if there would be some 
people joining who want to concentrate on distilling the unstable packages 
into a testing (and from there on onwards) a stable distro.

Perhaps mv shr-2009-08-08 shr-testing ? Don't forget the known issue:

Re: Om2009

Warren Baird a écrit :
 I must admit that aside from Paroli (which apparently is coming soon to 
 SHR-U - or already there), it wasn't obvious to me what the difference 
 in goals were - the two environments seemed pretty similar, and seemed 
 to be trying to do basically the same thing.


Om2007 and Om2008 did not use FSO, so SHR was a community project made 
to put FSO into them. But the idea behind Om2009 is basically Om2008+FSO 
AFAIK, so yes they should be very similar.

Selling FreeRunner, like NEW, for 200€ (France).

2009-08-27 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

I'm selling my FR. It's way underused (I didn't even remove the
protective film from the screen). It's not buzzfixed.

You'll need to learn how to flash it, because it's currently running a
very old version of Qi (buggy) + Om2009 if I remember correctly (in
short, slow and unusable).

I'm selling it with the battery, charger, cable, pouch, box. I lost the
pen. I didn't buy a bigger SD card, so I only have the small original
one if you want it (and if I find it, no promise).

I'm selling it for 200€, plus shipping.

I'm living in Grenoble, France.

Thanks,
Xav

Re: Debian first experience made a bit easier...

2009-08-27 Thread Lee Grime
I installed debian a couple of days ago.

1st try with a new 8GB sandisk uSDHC card, which failed with IO errors.  I
assume this is because of the SD card speed.

Tried with a sandisk 4GB uSDHC, using install.sh, with VFAT boot partition.

Install worked fine.

Some problems encountered :-

Re-camping.  I can only tell it is doing this because I left it near my PC
and the speakers were picking it up!  Happens about every 5-10mins.
I did not have this problem with SHR, it is stable for GSM.  SMS has a few
quirks, but nothing major.  I know there is a hardware fix for this, but why
no problems with SHR?

Wifi, could not connect to my T-Com (Germany) wireless router (WEP).  It was
picked up using wifi-radar, but failed to get an IP address.
I have never been able to connect to this router though, even using command
line and config files etc.  I have a new linksys N wifi router which I will
try it on soon.

GPRS worked fine.

Midori and tangoGPS do not pick anything up from the internet via USB
connection to PC.  I can ping google no problem.  Midori worked via GPRS.

Not sure how to put it into suspend, seems a bit flakey!

I have not had time to look into any of these problems yet, but will report
findings when I do.

I don't think our response is really needed ;) We're rather waiting
for Angus decision and watching what community says.

About maillists - core decisions are discussed on shr-coreteam list,
after that it's discussed publicly on shr-devel list (so when
community don't agree with coreteam decission it doesn't have to
happen at all). Every big decision regarding image or our apps *has to
be* discussed publicly, on shr-devel or shr-user list. Only on IRC are
discussed only small issues. Of course discussing big issues starts on
IRC, but then it's moved to maillists ;)

blink AUX or power light while suspended?

2009-08-27 Thread Nathan Kinkade
This may be an ignorant question, since I really don't know what the
device can and can't do while it is suspended.  I have often thought
that it would be great if there were some way to signal a missed call or
SMS without having to wake the system.  The only possible method that
occurs to me is to flash the AUX or power button light.  This brings me
to two questions:

1) Is it even possible for one of those lights to flash intermittently
while the device is suspended?

2) If so, how much battery drain would be involved in flashing one of
the lights very briefly every 10 or 15 seconds?

Additional editing guidelines for distribution manuals (Was: SHR first experiences user manual)

2009-08-27 Thread Marko Knöbl
2009/8/27, Risto H. Kurppa ri...@kurppa.fi:
 Hi!

 Sorry for an ugly post.

 Now that I also decided to go for SHR I was requested [1] to check if
 the SHR user manual is factually correct.

 So here are some comments:

 SHR (Stable Hybrid Release) is here to provide you with Root
 FileSystem images that you can easily install onto your Freerunner to
 use as a daily phone. It's filled with prepackaged software that can
 be installed upon demand by users

 So I can off-line install the packaged apps? No, I bet you mean that
 is has stuff pre-installed and you can get more from the
 repositories..

 Reading http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#SHR_Specific and
 I already have the feeling that this hass too many tech stuff.. 'root
 filesystem image', 'ophonekitd' - is that stuff really required here
 to be able to use it? I prefer a nice smooth experience, easy for
 beginners too. Do I now need to go and find out what's ophonekitd?


 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#Stability
 Maybe the difference of testing and unstable should be written here,
 not in the introduction?

 btw. a screenshot (or logo when there is one) would be nice to see on
 top of the manual page, it just would make it again a bit more
 appealing.


 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#Installation

 Maybe the differencies of lite and normal image should be explained
 _before_ you tell where to get them? And somewhere later tell how to
 upgrade -lite to normal

 AFAIK only -lite images are currently available? (ok, dos1 explained
 newest fat images were broken and he removed it)

 Maybe 'source code' should not be in the 'installation' chapter but
 more of 'devel' or something like that.

 Image content: it'd be nice if there were links from the items to home
 pages. What's illume? What's vala-terminal? What's pythm?

 Installation: it might not be a bad idea to remind people to upgrade
 the phone firmware and QI/uboot (and maybe tell which one is more
 popular - see http://www.doodle.com/svvsubwnyn4zaxd3 )

 Anyway, these are the files I flashed:
 -rw-r--r--  1 rhk rhk 69992448 2009-08-08 17:49 lite-om-gta02.jffs2
 -rw-r--r--  1 rhk rhk28596 2009-08-26 19:05
 qi-s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr243+36bb5c03756268ff15b2d95a043ffb39a919ce5c.udfu
 -rw-r--r--  1 rhk rhk  1832764 2009-08-16 23:32
 uImage-2.6.29-oe11+gitr119838+2d158aae9d8d36f575504f59884ed8e80802efe2-r3.5-om-gta02.bin

 flashing.

 I'd like to be able to have a dir on my uSD and mount it automatically
 as /home (on om2009 that was the folder bind-home on uSD) but I guess
 manually editing fstab will have to do. Maybe that should be explained
 somewhere here?

 How come the check of version is explained before the booting process?

 booting.

 Initial setup:
 Some lines about the possibilities there would be nice.. How on earth
 do I know what profile to select? Or what 'quick launch' is? Or why do
 I have to see screens where I only can select one item? ('irc' told me
 that the quick launch menu has no effect.. nice...)

 rebooting.

 Screenshot showing the wrench would be nice.

 The manual explains directly the wrench options - maybe SHR settings
 would be more important for usual settings instead of double click
 stuff etc..

 Maybe explaining SHR post-installation SCP commands could be done on
 SHR post-installation page instead of the manual. I think it's enough
 to explain what is it and why to run it and then link to the page.

 It isn't also told anywhere to run opkg update;opkg upgrade.

 Post-installation script would run opkg update, not upgrade. And
 here's a discussion telling the benefits of the script:

Hi Angus,

First I want to thank you for your work on Om2009.

This is what I like about Om2009:
* Paroli
* Focus on stability / a working phone
* bind_home directory

I played around with SHR as well, and I think that the items mentioned
above are missing in SHR.
If you could contribute in enhancing SHR in these areas, this would be
great for the whole Openmoko community.

Kind regards,
Jan.

Plain text, easly parsable.

JSON is very popular, and IMO with good reason. It maps to practically
every language and delivers exactly what's expected.

It gets my two cents.

About functions, those are few I have
already in mind: list of categories, list of top rated apps, list of
apps from category, app details, vote. Maybe also some kind of
searching, and way to login and logout if it'll be needed.

It'd be real sweet to have some wiki or whatever for design ideas
like these.

Wonder if apt-portal would have something already in Launchpad...
