It can wait. Just out of curiosity, is there some work being done on
this front ?

  GPS : 

 You can just fire up Tango and frameworkd will activate the GPS for it. 
 The other two tabs in zhone (from memory - I'm running SHR right now) are:
 an itemized list of satellites it's seeing, and a polar graph on which it
 plots satellites.  (so at the start they're blank and a dartboard,
 respectively)

I took the time to test it and I could indeed get a fix from tangoGPS.
Didn't get back to the Zhone gps display to check it. I will soon.

  Power Management settings: 
 I think frameworkd handles power management, not illume.

I finally figured it out.


  Several applications from the Home menu (terminal, Htop for instance)
  won't start.
 
 You can try changing /usr/share/applications/htop.desktop to exec
 openmoko-terminal2 htop, or install xterm and exec xterm -e htop. (I've
 done the latter)  What else isn't starting?

openmoko-agpsui, Terminal, numptyphysics. I'll check through ssh what is
the reason.

 And even more important. Price and availability.

 What you want is totally unimportant. The question is which  
 compromises
 are you ready to make?
 This is nothing that can be figured out by some stupid two options

 I would like openmoko to do bold steps.
 But they should also be careful.

Introduction of a multi-touch screen would only fragment the userbase.  
10,000 Freerunner owners would be bitching that they can't run  
$new.app because it requires the new screen type; owners of the new  
device would be bitching that existing apps don't use the cool new

Hardware decisions are best made by those who actually have an insight

are simply irrelevant if Openmoko / FIC are unable to purchase multi- 
touch screens. In case you're not aware, hardware decisions have  
already been constrained by an unavailability of parts in such small  
quantities as those used in Openmoko devices - you might have to buy  
100,000 or 1,000,000 units before the vendor will talk to you.

Besides that, GTA03 is no longer subject to change - isn't it stupid  
to be making plans (especially when you're not in a position to do so)  
for GTA04 or 05, when the hardware available by that time might be

Well, that might be true.. But the case might also be that the userbase
will shrink if nothing is done. That depends on what people want from
their hardware. The lack of a new type of user interface which some of
us believe is far superior on a hand held device will at least make me
think twice before buying a new OpenMoko.. I bought the GTA02 since
I found what OpenMoko was doing a great thing and I wanted to support
that good effort.. But if the hardware is always a couple or more
generations behind the leading pack then it's not much use, then I'm just
trying to help
a hopeless cause. The phone is a hardware disabled toy.

I certainly don't speak for everyone, since there are plenty of voices for
the
current solution as seen in this thread, but I think the user base will
shrink
steadily while the use of multi touch gets more and more users on the big
platforms. It's the future as I see it, and either we place us in the
future, or
we place us in the past... With a platform as the OpenMoko we have that
choice.

Yes, that's makes it a catch 22, because if you don't put together a
hardware solution that is good enough, then the amount of people
buying it will be small... And if you can't sell enough then you can't
buy the good parts.. If that makes you aim low, then why bother at
all?



 Besides that, GTA03 is no longer subject to change - isn't it stupid
 to be making plans (especially when you're not in a position to do so)

I know that the GTA03 is probably all decided hardware wise... But I think
this might be a good discussion anyway. And the market is big, apple has
shown
that... And note that Apple doesn't have it's reputation since they make
poor

 Hi,

 I think this is the best argument for the need of a precision stylus yet.

 However, as I see it, if you make this argument it means that you want
 a phone that works just like your desktop computer, but which you can
 carry along easily.. Maybe an EeePC is better suited?

I have an Aspire One, but it's too big to carry all the time. I'm looking for 
something to replace my old and dying Psion 5. I had high hopes when EPOC32 
became Symbian that a suitable smartphone would appear, but one of the first 
things they did was to remove the office type apps.

 The current OpenMoko compromise is not suitable for running a spreadsheet
 application or a word processor.

For you maybe, but Abiword and Gnumeric are working fine for me.

 If you want those applications then you 
 need to have some sort of keyboard. When the Ilume keyboard is active
 you only have perhaps 60% left of the screen. That means your application
 only have _half_ a VGA display. This practically eliminates the pro that
 people here have been bringing up, the full VGA display.

The Psion's only half-VGA and it works fine there. The Psion does make better 
use of the screen space, but that's an application issue.

 Then add the fact that 
 using the Ilume keyboard with a spreadsheet is, well, daunting. I can't
 imagine the pain I would feel if I had to go through that ordeal.

For you maybe, but it's fine for me in light use. If I need to do anything 
heavier there's always the Bluetooth keyboard.

 So yes, the current situation makes it easy to _run_ ye old' X applications
 we all love on the desktop... But _using_ them in this setup.. I don't
 think so.

 If you think I'm wrong, could you please tell me in which situations you
 really
 could use application X or Y on your OpenMoko? And I mean in a situation
 where you would not have easy access to your EeePC in your back-pack.

Exactly the same situations where I use them on the Psion, probably more 
because I would carry it in situations where even the Psion is too big. When 
I first got the Psion I found myself using it in many more situations than I 
had expected, simply because it was there and it worked.

 On the other hand, if you add a multi touch capable LCD panel, then you
 would
 enable software developers like myself to develop a whole range of new

 Applications that you will never see on the current OpenMoko.

 (I'm still not ruling out the possibility of a multi touch enabled
 resistive screen,
 but I never heard of such a thing...)

I've never seen a commercial one, but I don't think it presents too many

True, that's my own opinion. I think the display is too small and the input
method
is too hard. But I must confess; I generally don't use anything other than
Emacs
and Eclipse for anything close to word processing and one of the things with
emacs is that you really need a keyboard with it.. :-P

Which means that you would still be happy if you had a slightly bigger
display
and a slightly thicker stylus, right? Maybe even happier if you could use
both
your thumbs to push buttons on the on-screen keyboard. (For shift/alt keys
etc. But of course, that could be solved by adding a couple of more real
buttons..)

OK, that's a convincing example to me.  But I'm not convinced that a
capacitive
screen+stylus would prevent you from doing the same things. The iPhone has
a bigger display but is in total smaller than the OpenMoko, and correct me
(again) if I'm wrong, but aren't there some sort of word-processor for the

  Either a really big capacitive screen with no boarders or a small hi res

  I would vote for the same screen as currently used or at least the same

  pretty much a failure. (not impossible but as far as text input goes 
  pretty much failed)
  
  
  
 
 

I admit I voted for capacitive screen without consider all the aspect.
My primary reason was more protected screen and force finger friendly
(which more or less not exist now, more a software issue).

I have a pda I use mostly for car navigation the bigger screen is nice
there. I also use it for connect to internet, use it as voip phone, when
possible, using wifi. It does not have build in gps what was main reason
why I bought my neo (and better portability).

I like the size on neo maybe a little slimmer and I dont want it to be
bigger because then it would be more trouble some to bring with me all
over. My pda is to big I can just squeeze it into my jacket inside
pocket but I have often accidentally activated it often with drain
battery.

My pda have the normal 5 navigation buttons + 4 application buttons
below screen. I never use the navigation buttons only the 4 application
button mostly because I can program them to whatever to activate things
even other programs use the full screen and no hide function.

I like the size and resolution of current neo and the fact that it can
be used for stylus in case programs not finger friendly even it be rare.
Maybe the edge could be smaller so a finger easily can press all the way
to the edge. I can see the benefit for a few buttons to assist a GUI
that need a bigger screen area. If I just needed a small linux computer
to run desktop like applications then I wanted a full keyboard but then
whole benefit of small size and very easy portability is gone then.

   In practice if you power a load with a little impedance (in real systems
   the load is not always only resistive) the current requested will grow
   and the source could be damaged (try to short circuit a normal battery,
   you'll see a flash and if you maintain the circuit closed you'll meld
   the battery).
   This is why you should not ask 1000mA from the USB port (for example)
   unless you're sure the hardware could give it.
   Bye :)
  
  
  Yes but I also have some car adapters that did not mind being
  shorted (12v to 5v adapter, given for 350mA). So I doubt a device
  wanting 1A would be worst than a short circuit... but what would be
  the output in such a case I do not know.
 
 According to the MAX756 datasheet (the step-up converter used in the
 minty boost AFAICS), the switching mosfet should be protected due to
 the operating principle:
 The coil is shorted to ground until the current reaches about 1A,
 then switched off automatically (and then the coil discharges in
 series to the battery, effectively boosting the voltages).
 
 So the only things relevant to a overload situation are the
 coil rating and the diode rating.
 If both are capable of handling 1A continously, then switching
 the Freerunner to 1A can't break anything.
 The 1N5818 can handle 1A and the coil used has a saturation current
 of 1.5A.
 
 (However, it is _not_ short-circuit-proof, since in that case the
 current would flow directly from the battery over coil and diode to
 ground and will likely destroy the diode first)
 
 Switching noise is nothing to worry about (Switching frequency depends
 on load and battery voltage).
 
 Of course thermal dissipation can still be an issue.


you should use a polyfuse, to make device resistant against short on output

I/O problems with SD card

2008-11-22 Thread Евгений Карякин
Hello!

   This is my first time of booting from MicroSD card since before
this time I flashed several distributions onto internal flash. I
downloaded FSO milestone 4.1 and put that on Transcend 2Gb flash: made
two partitions, kernel 2Mb vfat and remaining for rootfs ext2,
formatted it accordingly (mkfs vfat and ext2) and copied file on them,
that means, followed http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD
instructions. Nevertheless booting from SD failed, I chose a
corresponding menu item from NOR loader (load from SD fat+ext2) and
started to receive multiple error messages:

# right after load start
s3c2410_udc: debugfs dir creation failed -19

# next lines mixed with each other
mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command
EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2) ex2_get_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=12345 block=67890
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 0
# and partial success messages among them

   Plus multiple Input/Output errors while reading /etc/rc.d/* files
and writing to /etc/volatile or something.
   This is how Freerunner sees my card:

Card type: SD 2.0
Manufacturer: 0x1b, OEM SM
Product name: 0, revision 1.0
Serial number: 1234567890
Manufacturing date: 7/2008
MMC/SD size: 511 MiB

   Thinking a card may be broken, I did check all files on it like that:

find /mnt -depth -type f -exec md5sum \{\} \;

   And several files resulted in Input/Output errors. Aha! Then I
initialized my card with

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 bs=32768 count=62150

   Then issued mkfs again and untarred rootfs second time. Checked
again -- none of the files reported an error. Still Neo can't read
many files on a card, especially in /etc/ . All SD card preparation
operations were made on a notebook with built-in card reader.
   Does anybody experienced any troubles with MicroSD cards like the
abovementioned ones?

[2008.x] 'opkg upgrade' interrupted.

2008-11-22 Thread Ivar Mossin
Hey all.

I'm was just installing a stable 2008.9 image. The only changes made is that
a terminal is installed and the /etc/opkg/* is changed to pointing to the
testing repository instead. Then, from the local terminal, I run opkg update
and then opkg upgrade. The upgrade is working for some good 20-30 minutes
downloading and installing new packages until X is shut down. Apparently
opkg wanted to restart X or something?

Then I figure I'll do it over ssh instead, so I log in and run 'opkg
upgrade' again. To my surprise I see that it starts all over again,
downloading and installing (?) the same packages over again. Didn't the
previous upgrade just do that? Are the downloaded and installed files
stored in a temporary directory in the meantime? I checked the used
disk-space and found it to be only 81-82 MB. Didn't check how much was used
before the first run though. Or does the opkg wait with updating its
database of installed packages until the complete upgrade has finished?
Which means I by now actually have the latest and greatest, just opkg
doesn't know it is?

Anyway, the upgrade via ssh failed miserably as well. Of course dropbear had
to be restarted, I lost connection and opkg was interrupted (again). Next
try is screen, which is currently running, downloading and installing the
exact same packages done by the previous two upgrades.

Is there some way to make opkg continue where interrupted or some way of
specifying I don't want a certain service restarted (like dropbear) ?

... I don't know why, but somehow I did actually try 'screen -R' anyway,
even though I saw the list was empty. And it did actually work. :)

I wouldn't call this a solution though, just a work-around.

It's working again here after some troubles yesterday. If you still have

www.freesmartphone.org has address 134.169.172.109

It the same for git, trac...

are you sure 192.168.1.202 is really the ip of your freerunner?

 It can wait. Just out of curiosity, is there some work being done on

 A PIM interface is on the roadmap for FSO, but I don't know if work has 
 started yet. It is likely to use an existing PIM dbus API, possibly with 
 extensions if required. Evolution Data Server and Akonadi spring to mind
 as 
 contenders. Telepathy may have a place too, though its VoIP capabilities 
 overlap somewhat with the call control interface we already have.

I think Telepathy is a must-have, personally.

Re: [2008.x] 'opkg upgrade' interrupted.

2008-11-22 Thread Joel Newkirk
On Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:46:38 +0100, Ivar Mossin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wrote:
 Hey all.
 
 I'm was just installing a stable 2008.9 image. The only changes made is
 that
 a terminal is installed and the /etc/opkg/* is changed to pointing to the
 testing repository instead. Then, from the local terminal, I run opkg
 update
 and then opkg upgrade. The upgrade is working for some good 20-30 minutes
 downloading and installing new packages until X is shut down. Apparently
 opkg wanted to restart X or something?
 
 Then I figure I'll do it over ssh instead, so I log in and run 'opkg
 upgrade' again. To my surprise I see that it starts all over again,
 downloading and installing (?) the same packages over again. Didn't the
 previous upgrade just do that? Are the downloaded and installed files
 stored in a temporary directory in the meantime? I checked the used
 disk-space and found it to be only 81-82 MB. Didn't check how much was
 used
 before the first run though. Or does the opkg wait with updating its
 database of installed packages until the complete upgrade has finished?
 Which means I by now actually have the latest and greatest, just opkg
 doesn't know it is?
 
 Anyway, the upgrade via ssh failed miserably as well. Of course dropbear
 had
 to be restarted, I lost connection and opkg was interrupted (again). Next
 try is screen, which is currently running, downloading and installing the
 exact same packages done by the previous two upgrades.
 
 Is there some way to make opkg continue where interrupted or some way
of
 specifying I don't want a certain service restarted (like dropbear) ?
 
 
 -Ivar Mossin

The short solution - 'opkg update' and 'opkg install dropbear' from
terminal, then 'opkg upgrade' via ssh.  opkg is imperfect...
