wiki spam - urgent

2011-12-04 Thread Petr Vanek
Dear all, mainly old openmoko admins,

we have been dealing with the spam attacks on wiki.openmoko.org quite
successfully until now, but it s getting more and more
difficult. I have now cleared over 600 posts (big THANKS to everyone,
who keeps marking spams as for speedy deletion), which is about
weekly/biweekly spam dosage, but as every page requires three clicks,
you do the math for what muscle memory my fingers are developing :)

If there is anyone able to help from the admin side, suggestions have
been posted here. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User_talk:Vanous on
what could/should be implemented to eliminate spambots.

We also need more people to be granted erase permissions, i think it is
clear from the logs who contributes and is eligible.

If admins have no time, is there anyone with mediawiki experiences who
could implement the given suggestions easily (given they would need to
be granted some required access)? Please stand up. 

thank you

Petr

Hi

Has any one experience with or suggestions for a very high capacity 
battery for the GTA02?

I want to use the device as a remote tracking device and with good 
power management and high capacity battery want to deliver 3 weeks
life.



from what has been said i think i remember that the gps chip is able to
run and record into it's internal memory while the device is suspended.
if this was possible, i can imagine that one could wake up the cpu,
fetch the collected data, store on uSD and go to sleep again. 

still, the stand by time is not that much:

this is cool. 

GPRS is better. You pay per traffic not per time online.

i think the idea is to be able to provide a data line to someone who
doesn't have prepaid gprs, i.e. if you have a free number calling etc.

 The idea behind such chips is to send sound and RDS messages to your
 FM car radio. I.e. have your radio display a caller ID or navigation
 hints.

The n900 from Nokia does just this.
Apparently they didn't care if it's allowed or not :)


Apparently they do care very much, observe the packaging describing in
what countries the FM can be used. Besides it, there is not much on the
box from the back side :)

This feature is cool, especially RDS, although the current n900
included code has been changed to comply with specs and RDS scrolling
text doesn't work atm. Plus, you need to listed to your station in
order to see the text, so no arbitrary station and your RDS notify of
SMS etc...

Bluetooth HF with display and radio connection do supplement the FM
pretty well though - music, calls, but of course it's missing the RDS
part

What would be really cool is RDS reception of weather/traffic
announcements + applying it to your navi or at least POI, ie.
FoxtrotGPS to warn you about road conditions...

Re: Flashing qi broke my freerunner - SOLVED

2010-07-21 Thread Petr Vanek
With the 2+4+2 qi, WSOD seems to happen more often. And curiously 
enough, removing power (as in pulling the battery out), doesn't help.
It is then guaranteed to reboot into WSOD. Strange that the phone is 
capable of keeping this state over poweroff - do qi and uboot write 
state into flash?

The solution is to boot into NOR flash, and then select Poweroff
from the menu. After that, I get a normal reboot without the WSOD.
Graphics indeed seems a bit faster with this qi. :-) I hope the WSOD
problems can be fixed in the kernel and/or the xserver. It happens
without this qi too - perhaps not as often.

i can confirm exactly the same findings. as JaMa stated, perhaps this
will help to find the cause of WS altogether...

   1. Whenever, I give access rights on an object, or set of objects
 to a particular user, all the menus related to that object are
 automatically accessible by that user. For example, in the

 all the menus under the voucher Entries are automatically assigned.
 This is the default behavior. right? 2. Does this mean that there is
 no need to have Administration---Security-Grant Access to
 Menus, some how granting access to menus is useless, since objects
 access is needed and when I give object access, menus access is
 automatically granted. 3. Is there is some way, that i can grant
 access to a list of objects to two or three users, but restrict
 access to menus? 4. Scenario: I want to give access to user1 to Bank
 Receipt Voucher while to user2, Cash Payment Voucher. Now menus are
 different, but objects are same.

*Problem 2*
*
*

   1. in the _columns{}, whenever a one2many() relation is chosen for a
   field, on search, the fields associated with the many portion are
   automatically shown. Can we restrict this view, i mean certain
   columns/fields from the many part can be hidden from particular
 users, while certain can be shown for search purpose only?

 Are there clients to position the user based on the GSM base
 stations, with on- or offline databases?

Yes, but none which are really production ready, AFAIK. I mean, 
packaged, tested, ready for end user. Nevertheless, it is supposed to 
work at least basically.

 It'd be great to be able to detect the approximate location from GSM
 signal and then hook up to GPS faster..


Baruch did some work on the vala implemented openBmap-locator code. I
am not sure what is the status of it. The code is located on the
openBmap sourceforge git repository.

Onen


i tried logging by using the openBmap logger but it hasn't been updated
to the new fsogsmd api yet :/

Hi folks,
I made an upgrade from testing to unstable Saturday in the afternoon,

A workaround seems to configure the loglevel in /etc/framework.conf
from INFO to DEBUG. It works well, but currently my frameworkd.log
weighs 6.3M and fsodeviced.log 5.5M

They get bigger and bigger... any idea to avoid an incoming
catastrophe ?

shr-unstable, right? python based FSO doesn't control gsm anymore,
fsogsmd is there for that and in my experience, DEBUG log level is nor
necessary for proper gsm function.

please check that you have fsogsmd installed, ogsmd has disabled=1 in
frameworkd.conf . this is in shr-u by default now.

Re: ventura upgrades

2010-04-27 Thread Petr Vanek
  The menu can at best show about 5 items - so the hide controls
 command

thank you for the updated version, nice to have the ability to hide
the controls, if needed.

The Page item is hardly usable but i can imagine this is EFL issue
and nt yours... just reporting :), simply you cannot access the Reload,
Stop, Fullscreen... buttons.

What also gives me lot's of troubles is the URL dialog:

- after pressing cancel, the URL dialog will not show up, Ventura
  restart needed

- when editing url of already opened page, the url is present and
  highlighted, which is really great, but even if you move cursor
  around, the text stays highlighted so once you try to correct perhaps
  a typo, the whole text is gone and needs to be rewritten. Pressing
  Ćancel doesn't help due to the above issue.

What is ventura? What are its features?
How to use it?
Do you have a link of some screenshot?
Do you have a link of some short ventura video?

It takes incredible 34 seconds from first PWR press till the home screen

For me, it raises the question of why people feel that they need to

point; the end result is only that we have N+1 not-quite-good-enough
distributions, instead of N.

Neil, in principle i agree with you. But the perfect world doesn't
exist and for me as the end user variety is good.

I think with the number of FR sold, multitude of projects is just
expected behavior. We can see the same thing on desktop and it is a
never ending dispute of quality versus quantity. We could hope there
would be one official distribution providing the functioning basics for
our FR but that didn't happen. So personal initiatives just take place.
Instead of seeing the FR platform disappearing, this is hopefully a
progression.

Re: Rutgers University writes malware for Freerunner

2010-02-22 Thread Petr Vanek
 I was on the verge of writing the same thing.  Are they claiming that
 they can install a rootkit remotely by sending a carefully crafted
 SMS?  (Seems unlikely, given the small number of bytes to play with.)
 Or that once a rootkit is installed, they can use SMS as a trigger
 for it?  If the latter, how do they get the rootkit on there in the
 first place?

From one of the linked articles:
http://news.rutgers.edu/medrel/news-releases/2010/02/rutgers-researchers-20100222

Don't know about the others but this got me rolling on the floor. While
better security (hopefully not by obscurity) is the ultimate goal, as
my middleware fails to bring up GSM interface 9 of 10 times lately, i
guess i am pretty safe from any bad hackers' attacks! :)))

* finger scrolling
* double-click to zoom in
* triple click to zoom out (not working as of now - help needed)
* layout optimised for max viewing space

this is great, the transparent widgets help to be able to view a lot

  The code is available at elm-browser.googlecode.com

Re: elm_browser initial release

2010-01-13 Thread Petr Vanek
 it would be great to find a good name for it + icon and
 include it in shr, it beats midory in performance big time 
 
  Any suggestions? For the name and icon? 
  There shouldn't be much diff between midori and this browser since
 both
use webkit. Midori has a lot of functionality that this browser
doesn't - like bookmarks.
  OTOH, maybe this seems faster since it's lighter as of now.

it would be wise to keep it this way. midory takes over 20 seconds to
launch on freerunner. as someone pointed - you often need that long to
search for something.

 command line? If there is no such function, could you add a
 parameter for that?
 
  There isn't any such function yet. I'll add this today.

:), need it too, to incorporate it into the system.

  Also, What are the bare essential features required of a browser on

keep it lite
toggle fullscreen
rotate the screen (not X), hopefully performance will stay

Re: [Shr-User] Quick e-mail poll: Still using your Freerunner?

2010-01-02 Thread Petr Vanek
 WTF? 

Not necessary here IMHO.

Sent sms storage is implemented for quite long time... They are
 just displayed together with incoming ones, as there is no different
 view for sent messages yet.

 And thanks for reminding us about 386, it probably should be closed
 now :)

thanks for reopening the bug for the missing view. i am testing this
now and for some reason i can receive sms from other people, i can also
send sms and yes, can see them in the inbox (great, thank you) but when
sending sms to myself, never seem to receive (or perhaps just see?) the
message in inbox. this led me to the conclusion sent messages are not
saved because for a message from me to me i can see just one message
and not two. this is on shr-u, upgraded today.

And that strange GPRS issue (which is even more strange to me, because
I never had that on my FR :x) is going to be resolved soon with
ogsmd-fsogsmd transition (which is also going to give us nice
performance boost)

just because you never had it does not mean it doesn't exist. i know
about the ogsmd-fsogsmd transition and am eagerly waiting for it,
holding by breath and wishing Mickey will manage to have it done before
jumping to his other duties.

strangely enough, i didn't have the GPRS issue for some time before
Christmas, now it bites every time i use gprs.

 And to not spread FUD :P)

looking at the tickets (reopened and existing), i am aware of being
constructively critical but not FUD spreading.

SHR FSO data only connection

2009-12-18 Thread Petr Vanek
i have a clone sim - two sims with the same number (official, this is
o2 service in eu). the sim registered latest on the network takes all
the calls and messages.

often i use this in the way that fr get's online via gprs and my other
phone receives the calls.

now, with recent shr-u, if i start with one sim in fr i get into
troubles when my second sim get's registered. gprs cannot connect,
calls cannot be made with om2008, i could in fact make data (gprs)
connection only and all would be smooth. I could even run gprs on both
phones with no issue. i have a feeling i could do this on shr during
summer, but now it's not possible.

i had 1024 fix done in the fall.

easy sum up:

- can i use fso based distro to make gprs connection only and not to
  register for calls? (as for example umts dongles do?)

- is there a way to re-register on the network? (sometimes i can work
  this around via making a call or scanning for operators...)

Re: Ideal screen rotation

2009-11-23 Thread Petr Vanek
 FWIW, as well as the discussed rotation support, I'd also like to
 - add a GPRS/PDP toggle to the GSM gadget
 - add a fast charge menu to the battery gadget
 - fix the battery gadget so that it it goes up to 100%.

This sounds great and needed. Communication with SHR devs might be
useful to get it to SHR soon.


 So I think there's a strong case for an ongoing FR-focussed
 e17/illume codebase.

There's an illume2 project at enlightenment, perhaps a good spot for
it?

At this point, i would not focus on it, plus, i would expect that the
gadgets should still work correctly in Illume2?

Re: Ideal screen rotation

2009-11-04 Thread Petr Vanek
 The software that control rotation need to know if the foreground app
 should run in landscape, portrait or auto mode. (And perhaps the 
 upside-down variants as well.)

Or, what I think would be the proper way to do it, the application
should broadcast to dbus that it prefers no rotation, or one of the 4
possible rotation states and omnewrotate could listen to such requests
and not rotate while there is such a message in the bus.

so how does framework fit to this with it's orientation interface?

As far as I know, FSO will only emit some signals from time to time
saying what position it thinks it's on. Other programs can plug into
it and decide what to do (but of course that isn't at a rate useful
for gestures).

i am testing that interface now and it reports position in less then 2
seconds (which i consider very optimal for regular usage). what kind
of gestures do you mean or what do you mean by gestures?

Look for accelges (for an example).

You need a lot more finegrained readings (several per second) in order
to understand adequately a gesture (example, shaking the freerunner,
doing an L in the air, etc...)

Re: Launcher v0.41 - New Release

2009-10-30 Thread Petr Vanek
 it feels very responding, after all data is loaded. (most delays seem
 to be caused by waiting for the opimd data).
 
  Actually, the contacts are synced the first time only. The SMS's are
typically not that many, but for opimd to go through all the calls,
parse them and send them through the dbus really takes long. Since
launcher doesn't know if you received calls when it wasn't running, it
uses the time of the last call it has in its local db to query for
newer calls from opim. Hence the delay. Typically, about 10 - 12 secs.
Keeping a smaller log will speed up launcher. 
  I've been thinking of deleting all the calls older than those
 launcher
displays - or some x days automatically. What do you think?

if the number of days is configurable (possible to set to unlimited),
this would be very good.

 1) in contacts, all the categories are listed twice (all empty), this
 was also the same in .39. 
 
  That must be something I'm doing wrong in the db creation. While I
 solve
that issue, you could remove those duplicates (and change them to
something more appropriate to yourself) manually by changing the
category names in the contacts_cat table.

- sqlite .launcher/launcher.db
- delete from contacts_cat; (or delete from contacts_cat where
category='Family';)
- delete from contacts_cat where key = 1;
- insert into contacts cat (category) values ('your_new_cat');

  I will finish work on the customisation of categories in some time.

If you have deleted the old launcher db - you've lost the
categorisation of the apps and the contacts. Maybe I need to shift
this to another db - so that the working db can be deleted but this
data remains.

To set categories for the contacts click on set cat. You'll see a list
of your contacts. Select a category, select the contacts you want in
that category and click 'Set Category' button. The selected contacts
will be removed from this list and appear under their category.

ok

 2) opimd fields should probably be configurable
 somewhat, now it doesn't show all my fields... or did i miss
 something?
 
  That's missing. I'm working on it - should be done soon. Thanks for
 all
the feedback. Did you like the the fact that your contacts now show
when you contacted them last?

couldn't enjoy this one yet, from home i have to call from a gsm gate,
there is no signal inside my house... but will test this afternoon or
on the weekend,

thanks for all the great work and time! :)

 The problem is : on the freerunner we merely need something to
 display some simple widgets, scroll the screen smoothly (because on
 a small display you always need to scroll)
 
 Why do all of you insist on using scrolling as the only metaphor to
 present excerpts of large content? Given the physical size of the
 display and the hardware constraints (touchscreen jitter, for a
 start... not going to comment on the Glamo) I think this is very
 questionable. There are other metaphors available that would fit the
 device's strengths much better. What about paging?

good words mickey. good words. :) (i have a todo item for the scrole
rto have a page mode. it already has a page mode actually - but its a
scrolling one much like iphone's N pages of icons  - but it's infra to
simple provide some theme elements that you press and they jump
up/down/left/right a page and then do the jump - so it's mostly there.
it just hasn't been any priority for me - am working on an oldie
request to get rotatable objects.. which now works. under flux.. but
works and renders... image and text objects so far are working. in
theory all other basic object types too, but smart objects - not yet).


While i agree i still wonder. i tried latest android on freerunner
yesterday - most scrolling nice and smooth. had qtmoko on last week -
the same (yes, i read the explanation why it works, but it works). now,
in order not to put anybody down, i must say that for example scrolling
in shr contact list IS smooth. so my question is: where exactly do we
have scrolling issues? think about it. Then i tend to think about the
Illume desktop, that is so much unfriendly to scrolling.

Raster, i meant to ask before but had no time: if we take etk toolkit
and E window manager as for granted for SHR (hopefully with some
choices, but  still), is there any other desktop module we could use
instead of Illume? In your no-speak project, is there anything being
developed? What do you use on small device? Illume was ditched long time
ago, is there not a replacement with attention? Anything you could
recommend?

Thank you

Petr

Re: Insisting on metaphors that exploit the device's weaknesses (Re: Centralization of graphical awesomeness)

2009-10-29 Thread Petr Vanek
 lots of alpha blending - if you have the 16bit engine you get no
 scale cache (thats 32bit engine only). but worst.. is the font
 style. check carefully. text has a soft dropshadow. that is drawn
 by 1. drawing the shadow first and that draw 25 copies of the text
 with very faint alpha. THEN draw the text on top. that is a pretty
 big expense. there is no text effect cache in evas at the moment,
 so this really hits you. turn off the soft dropshadow effect in the
 theme.. and watch it get 3 or 4 times faster (expedite has a test
 just for this
 - on a desktop (in fps) i get 128 and 489 fps respectively just by
 having no soft shadow on the text). thats pushing on close to 4
 times faster. it's an effect - that doesn't come cheaply. the
 alternative (an actual blur filter) isn't too cheap either. but
 it's something that can be improved for sure. you want it fast?
 turn it off. :)


Thank you for all the explanation. I think the 32bit engine is the
only to go with now. Perhaps the optimization is is already done,
maybe not.

@Bernd Prünster: you are already very good with this, it would be good
to see the difference, if not used already... mind to try the above in
gry* ?

 i started a
 rewrite- illume2 is in svn. its much cleaner and leaner designed to
 allow for replacable home screens (ie a home window provides by
 either another e module or another process). as well as top
 shelf (inf act any corner/region of the screen) can also be a
 window provided by.. another module... or another process etc. its
 much more like the kbd code. it's started. it's not usable. it's on
 the backburner until a bunch of other tasks are done that are much
 higher priority.

ok, will hope for better times to come

  developed? What do you use on small device? Illume was ditched
  long time ago, is there not a replacement with attention?
  Anything you could recommend?  
 can't talk about it :)

perhaps we can benefit from it in (near?) future... :)

CH(R  btw can you already change the background image in Illume
settings? i CH(R  still get the Enlightenment was unable to import
the image due to CH(R  conversion errors ?
CH(R 
CH(R u are probably missing edje_cc from the distro

thanks, this was it. i have already reported it distro maintainers.

Re: Launcher v0.41 - New Release

2009-10-29 Thread Petr Vanek
  Here is the latest release. Changes :-

1. Clean Ups, Bug fixes and Speed ups (hopefully)
2. Should indicate last call made and sms sent in contacts app
3. Better re-sending of failed sms's

Enjoy.

http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3911066/launcher_0.41_arm.ipk
launcher_0.41_arm.ipk 

good, good!

first start was somewhat slow, so i erased the .launcher db to start
fresh, although now i think it was framework still starting...

now it starts damn fast!

it feels very responding, after all data is loaded. (most delays seem
to be caused by waiting for the opimd data).

two minor issues:

1) in contacts, all the categories are listed twice (all empty), this
was also the same in .39. 

2) opimd fields should probably be configurable
somewhat, now it doesn't show all my fields... or did i miss something?


phonelog now allows functional call deletion, great! (after launcher
restart, i can see some calls from 1.1.1970 again but i think the
opimd db got borked, i will erase it and start fresh).

thank you,

kind regards
Petr

Re: Centralization of graphical awesomeness

2009-10-28 Thread Petr Vanek
As an important but overlooked side effect, the more capable the
graphics toolkit is and the more bloated and unfriendly the resulting
end user interface will be. While we were at replacing the original
gnome mobile desktop, I would have liked to start from a minimalist
but inovative toolkit more adapted to limited hardware like the
freerunner or the many other gadget with only a small touchscreen that
will keep getting out, instead of having one more toolkit for the same
device range for which we already have dozens.

my 2 cents:

we can have lighter themes in E (as for example gry is, thanks the
author for that!), but then need to have the X11-16 working - at
this point, it has been recommended by Raster not to use it and even
the new SHR phoneui apps cannot work with X11-16. So we are going back
to the even slower engine.

Could this be looked at and revised? We need X11-16 for the Freerunner,
the 32bit rendering is way too slow on Freerunner.


Illume is absolutely unmaintained - as Raster pointed, it hasn't been
actively touched for a long time. Please see list of Illume immediate
issues [1].

Raster, are you using Illume yourself somewhere? Could Illume get some
attention? Otherwise it's going to die with the Freerunner users
getting another phones (Pré etc).


As i see it, if the above will not happen, users will slowly drift
away to solution perhaps not so optimized but feeling lighter and
maintained. So the wish for E being THE toolkit for mobile devices will
disappear. And we can see this already. SHR has been asked several times
for more options in window managers. And as SHR has no manpower to
provide this, Debian might start gaining attention, proper deb
packaging of FSO will help this a lot.

Re: Strange behaviour of elementary entry and illume keyboard. Did anybody noticed it?

2009-10-28 Thread Petr Vanek
Oh yes, I got VERY annoyed from that f*cking inconsistent backspace
behaviour! Sorry, this had to be written. Its so annoying when editing
text after having typed a few sentences, although I couldn't make out
any rule behind that.

 Hi!
 
 Have anybody noticed, when you type some text in a elementary entry,
 then you click on any other element (a button for example) and you
 click again on the entry.
 
 Now the cursor is still at the end of the text. But when you send
 some chars using illume
 keyword it inserts the chars *before the last char*.


has this been reported in E track?

Re: ffalarms 0.3 -- recurring alarms

2009-10-28 Thread Petr Vanek
 don't forget to fit in the Snooze slider too, please :)

It shouldn't need a separate slider. If you turn off but don't ACK it
should be equivalent to a snooze.


tried that this morning and no snooze, i mean i could snooze but
the phone went to sleep :)

Re: [SHR-u] Wifi, Keyboard and scripting

2009-10-28 Thread Petr Vanek
Is is possible to have it _not_ suspend as default when on battery?

Settings-Power-Auto-suspend: Off

How do I turn on the wifi radio from the command line (instead of going
through the settings)?

opkg install fsoraw

fsoraw --help

How do I run a script automatically at the end of the start up process?

start up of the system or start up of X?

either place your script into /etc/rc5.d or /etc/X11/Xsession.d , look
into how scripts are named - numbered. use the highest number +1 of
existing scripts or 99 to be the last to start.

When I start the terminal, the keyboard is the predictive one. How do I
change it to the 'terminal' keyboard as default?
