If you like you can try out aufs. It is more advance than unionfs and

It's as dead as the original hh.org tree.  There's only two branches related

Still 'work' branch lacks all of the features of original 2.6.21 hh.org
kernel because of breakage, and there was no work on it since last
summer. I know that I'm talking about because last commits to it
were mine. BTW, AFAIK there was no h3600-related commits in this branch,
and probably code was broken during rebase because hh.org code largely
differs from vanilla one.

  

Thanks for reporting.
It's a pity :(
Maybe using a small tree for drivers which can be shared between 
different devices and different branches/trees for drivers which are 
machine dependent is a better approach.

This worked only once for me. Now you can choose yor machine and some

There is no limitation. The images get build from the packages of the

Hi! It's nice to hear that there's someone else, who cares about h3600.
I've started recently with hacking on h3600 code, using vanilla tree as

time to find out what parts are still working, and what are just some
historic garbage. And now I have a little bunch of patches at my hands.
And though they're not in the perfect shape for submission mainline yet

Hi,

My impression as an interested observer is that still even today, ever
since the original handhelds.org kernel mailing list was allowed to die,
there has been no clearly defined concentrated community effort in working
on kernels for handhelds, especially iPAQs. Of course there separate
communities: hackndev (mostly for palms), xda-developers, etc.

I can't speak for others, but let me say now for myself, as a developer
working on Angstrom I fully support anyone doing work on improving support
for older devices such as h3600. For too long now these devices have
languished and it's very good to see that someone with the knowledge to
work on these devices still cares ;)

  
I fully support any development for such devices and their integration 
into Angstrom. I also support talking about the hardware kernel and 
other things.

All that Bernhard was trying to say I guess was that the discussion of
kernel development for devices unsupported by Angstrom *might* not be
appropriate for angstrom-distro-devel. However given the situation I think
we should cut flameman a little slack. If we change the topic to h3600
kernel, all should be well IMO.

  
In my opinion talking about kernel development for such devices is very 
welcome. It helps in supporting more devices.


I was trying to say please use your own threads it is not polite to use 
threads of other people which want to get help and mix up things.

source. I'm not a kernel developer myself so I can't really help directly,
although I have some spare devices available if anyone wants them for
development.

  
If no one else want one I would like to borrow one. I cannot promise to 
find a lot of time for it but I will give it a try.



the only things seems to be alive around iPAQ is ... well is the Angstrom
stuff

well  it seems to me the angstrom people is not so easy going



Yes, it can be a tough community to break into at times, but don't give up :)

  
In my opinion the reason why Angstrom is still alive is because it is 
general and supports many devices.

Hi,

During the past year beagleboard support has leaped from 'unsupported' 
to 'best supported machine in angstrom' and has seen a few 'demo' 
releases (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/), but 
since other machines aren't so well support the 2008.X release has 
been moved to 2009.X. Unless we get a coordinated effort going between 
all machine mentors and testers, it would seem likely that 2009.X will 
get moved to 2010.X :(


My proposal is to have machine mentors be able to create an image at 
any time (see previous RFC about using the online image builder for 
that) and upload it to the 'release' area after testing.
It would also mean that mentors can build images and upload them to a 
'testing' area for people to test at anytime.


So, what do you all think about this?

In my opinion we should keep a stable branch and release Images for all 
machines.


Move to new stable branch now.
We can keep the old images as unsupported. In fact they are unsupported 
anyway because the current stable branch is dead?

Create new unstable branch.

Create an unsuppored category for machines without a mentor and let 
users test the autobuilder/narcissius images.
Also have a tested and supported by mentors category where mentors can 
upload or move images from sefbulid/autobulder/narcissius to.


This is quite what you suggested but we would keep a stable branch.

Hi,

In an effort to reduce the skillset needed to get involved into 
angstrom I'd like to propose this:


Narcissus[1] is the preferred way to build an image to be put in the 
download are for users.


The workflow would be:

1) go to http://amethyst.openembedded.net/~koen/narcissus/
2) select machine, packages and click 'build me'
3) downloading resulting image
4) test it
5) Convert it to the proper format (e.g. ubifs, jffs2, tar.bz2, ext2, 
installkit)

6) upload it to angstrom-distribution.org
7) Announce it

Note that step 5 can be scripted, but due to php/fakeroot limitations 
we can't do it all with narcissus. An option would be that narcissus 
spits out the scripts needed.


As the narcissus page points out, patches are welcome. If you are 
missing packages, send me a patch :)


So, what do you think about this proposal?

I like narcissius much but we should keep alternatives such as 
autobuilder or build images from the mentors.

[Angstrom-devel] [RFC] X/Qt2 generate foo.desktop files as packages or autogenerated

2008-12-05 Thread Bernhard Guillon

Hi all,
I want to get some advice for what is a good way to create 
/usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/foo.desktop files for X/Qt2 and xqtlauncher.


Currently only xkbd is included. There is a xqtlauncher-xkbd-desktop.bb 
file which creates a package that depends on xkbd and includes a 
/usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/xkbd.desktop file.
Now I want to add other packages like minimo as well. For this I need to 
create a lot of .bb files at xqtlauncher/xqtlauncher-foo-desktop.bb.


I now created two proofe of concept scripts [1][2] (they need to be 
tested). One, which parses /usr/share/applications/*.desktop files and 
generates /usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/*.desktop files out of them. And 
another, searches for files in /usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/*.desktop which 
are no longer present at /usr/share/applications and removes the 
matching generated files.


Advantages:
- no need to create a lot of .bb files
- users can just do opkg install foo + convert script (or restart)

Disadvantages:
- the files are not under control of the package manager!
- user needs to act (restart or clicking the convert script)

If someone wants I can provide my qemuarm images for testing.

So what do you think?

This should actually be fixable, the fbdev driver allows rotation to be
set in the xorg.conf file. I don't see any real reason it can't do it on
the fly. Although I have been trying to do this for an OM task and I
cant work out the trick how to advertise the rotated modes.

  
Can you provide me a hint how to change use xorg instead of kdrive. I 
would like to do some testing.

2008-11-29 Thread Bernhard Guillon

Koen Kooi schrieb:

Hi,

Today I noticed that the virtual keyboard is broken again in kdrive, 
but works fine in Xorg.


So we have a choice of fixing kdrive (again) or switching over to Xorg.

Any ideas how to fix it? My knowledge about kdirve is quite low. How 
much effort may it take?

Xorg pros:

* maintained upstream
* working virtual keyboards
* acceleration for more devices available (e.g. omapfb)

Xorg cons:

* no more software based rotation
* touchscreen recalibration requires restart of X server
* slightly large disk footprint

So, it's a lose-lose situation for pda style devices, but a win for 
things with a big screen attached (e.g. netvista, beagleboard, overo).


What are your thoughts on this?

In my opinion rotation is obligatory for a PDA sized device. Is there 
any possibility to get rotation with Xorg? How much more is slightly? 
One MB or more? For me the recalibration problem is not that important 
because you do not need to do this often. Any ideas about size 
differences of the memory footprints?

Before there was no /linuxrc and it used /sbin/init as fall back.

[Angstrom-devel] X/Qt2 progress update

2008-09-29 Thread Bernhard Guillon

Hi all,
I started this wiki page [1] for X/Qt2 integration in Angstrom.

There are some things we need to decide (please read the wiki page first):

* application menu entries
To start a X11 application in opie it is nice to have the application 
entry added. We could do this with a package foo-xqt2 or a conversation 
script.


* packaging of configuration files
For blackbox I needed to create some configuration which may is only 
useful in combination with X/Qt2. Is a package containing the config 
file e.g blackbox-xqtconfig.bb the right way?

If I remember correctly from using X/Qt with Sharp-rom (Qtopia), the 
X/Qt screen was not able to rotate once you were in the session. So I 
guess the zaurus hack is to pre-rotate the screen for different zaurus 
devices. It certainly would be nice to be able to rotate screen under 
X/Qt.


Ok, I patched the source a bit and Xqt2 it is now quite usable on my 
SIMpad :).
Here is a picture with xeyes native on the pad [1] and here [2]  one of 
a ssh forwarded X11 session with epiphany.


In Xqt2 there is already some wrapper for xrandr implemented and it 
should work with some effort on it.
I will try to fix everything for the SIMpad and then let Zaurus users 
test it.
Do you know if I can get the size of the taskbar? Xqt uses some fixed 
sizes for it which are wrong on my pad.

That means:

Unsupported stuff does NOT get mentioned in the documentation.

The building angstrom page will only list only *ONE* *SINGLE* way to 
install it, and we must make sure that that works.


The install guide should guide people through the steps of setting OE 
up for angstrom so that they get to see the different parts of OE 
(bitbake, metadata, local.conf, updating metadata) and thus have a 
better understanding of it. Hiding this behind magic makefiles or 
scripts only results in treating people like retards instead of 
respecting their current skillset and trying to expand that.


What you are trying to do now is *exactly* the reason the

you can copy the source of the page to the official wiki page and make 
it read only.
But as I mentioned before we need a discussion page for it where it can 
grow. Easy typos and version upgrades can be added to the discussion

From the wiki [1] but in this case I felt to just copy it

Q: Define Angstrom community
A: Angstrom community consists of users and developers, but there is 
actually no strict separation. Developers are just users (possibly, of 
other distributions) who liked and valued Angstrom so much that decided 
to contribute to its development directly. Developers may also become 
alumni, may move to other projects, etc. This process of users and 
developers coming and going is what keeps Angstrom alive and fresh of 
ideas and motivation. As described above, Angstrom community 
interchanges. That means it is reciprocal, mutual community. There is no 
core clique of elite developers who deliver something to users waiting 
in row. OpenSource movement is oftentimes associated with the phrase 
Free Speech, not Free Beer. This is fully true of Angstrom - it 
provides open environment to discuss and solve issues, not just gives 
something one can carry away in a pocket. One important implication of 
the above is that, if you come to Angstrom to just take something from 
it, you lose large share of what it can offer for you. Depending on your 
actual expectations, you may even become disappointed with Angstrom. 
Note that there's no authority to classify a given user as reciprocal or 
only taking, nor Angstrom community itself treats individual persons as 
belonging to this or that group. Instead, users know their motives 
themselves. And as a rule of thumb, OpenSource projects like Angstrom 
work better for those users who are prepared to interchange with the 
community.

[Angstrom-devel] Angstrom Wiki navigation

2008-09-20 Thread Bernhard Guillon

Hi all,
we need to discuss about the navigation of the Angstrom Wiki.

I did a quick hack to gain something like a navigation here [1] and 
added it in this form


#Include navigation from another page to ease the maintenance of 
navigation on the wiki

Include(Angstrom/Naviagtion, , from=/% main %/,to=/% end main %/)

as a header to every Angstrom related page I found.

This way is ok for now but not for the future. We need some kind of an 
autogenerated navigation. For this we need to use the Category system 
and/or a restructure of the pages. We could structure the Wiki pages 
like this


Angstrom/foo
Angstrom/foo/bar

At the moment we are using AnstromAndFoo and some other things. If there 
are no reasons why not use moin moins subpart system I will start to 
reformat it.

Also I will start to add CategoryFoo for ease of linking.

Hi,
I now read the source of X/Qt a bit to debug its behaviour on my SIMpad 
(screen resolution is switched). It is a hack for Zaurus and there are 
some ifdefs for it.
I was not able to use it without QWS (the hacks for zaurus) at the 
moment but I keep trying.


So I am wonder why it is needed? It rotates the screen 270° and changes 
h to w and w to h. I own no Zaurus and it is not documented for which 
models this hack is. It is maybe not even needed for opie?

Is Moin moin wiki not capable of a discussion page? I searched a bit but

In my opinion a discussion page is very useful for a wiki and it 
increases the quality of the articles.
Should we add a page foo:discussion to every page where discussions are 
interesting?
Using a mailing list for it is another option but I don't like it 
because it is hard to keep track of the changes and you need to search a 
lot while editing.

[Angstrom-devel] Opie support in Angstrom next tasks?

2008-09-16 Thread Bernhard Guillon

Hi,
I really love to have opie supported in Angstrom and I am tend to 
replace my gpe installation with it for daily usage. I want to help a 
bit but don't know how.

For me there are some things missing:

There was one time a huge amount of opensource software available for 
opie. Lets search it and put everything on the Angstrom feeds :).

Also document it on the Angstrom wiki in a style like:
Web browsing:
-konqueror-embedded
-dillo with X/Qt

Notes:
.

In my opinion the most important one is konqueror-embedded I saw this 
blog posting [1] of a new version for a palm - do anyone knows how far 
it is?
A usable recent browser on the pad is the killer application people are 
searching for it.


X/Qt is another important step for opie in Angstrom. If we can offer 
some thing like this [2] with fresh new software a lot of users may test 
Angstrom with opie on there devices.


Currently I am testing X/Qt on my SIMpad but I am missing a lot of 
knowledge for using it.


I build and installed X/Qt in dev branch with the latest opie. What else 
do I need to install? Currently I am getting this error:


Fatal server error:

In which package is that font included? We should add a RDEPEND for that 
one to the X/Qt package.

Hi all,

What is the feed update policy and procedure exactly? It would be nice to
have this written out somewhere (ie, on the wiki).

That would be really nice!

You have to update the autobuider skript and the package at the stable 
branch.
For getting things changed at the stable branch I believe this [1] is 
the latest policy which also has a section about the feeds. But maybe it 
is outdated.
It is written there that it is from the wiki but not from which. I did 
not find it on the oe wiki (used the wiki search engine).

The latest package in .dev will compile if you bring it over to .stable
and works well, except SSL seems to be broken. I'll have to do some more
work on this.

  

Many thanks! I will try it out.

I also got this error with Xqt, and tried installing various packages and
fiddling around with the X font directories with no success - if it didn't
show that error it just segfaulted. Hopefully someone else is able to help
here.

  
Ok I am now succeeded in running Xqt. I am using Xqt2 and 
xorg-minimal-fonts and this command line

Xqt -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ -fn fixed 
This will start the Xqt server nothing more. I will spend some more time 
on Xqt later. We may do not need the xorg-minimal-fonts directory we 
should be able to add a proper fonts.dir and fonts.alias to 
/usr/share/fonts/ to save space. But we should add a runtime dependency 
to the package. I also saw some starting skripts at the authors feeds 
[1] and will look at them later.


I also updated the Xqt2 package to use a new official mirror.

Here is the patch for that:

[Angstrom-devel] New stable Angstrom SIMpad images available (including opie)

2008-08-31 Thread Bernhard Guillon

Hi all,
now there are new stable r18 images [1] available for SIMpad.
I am glad to tell you that there is also an opie image for your beloved 
device.


The opie image works fine except of the brightness control and the two 
extra buttons (joypad works).


Please report bugs related to those images to the bugtracker [2] and 
make them block bug no 2186 if it is an opie related or bug no 2595 if 
it is SIMpad related.


If you want to have some other images build for SIMpad please write a 
mail to the list.

I started to use my own feed some time ago but I would love to see more

Paul Eggleton schrieb:


Hmm, there's something odd going on there. I'm not sure whether it's just 
because of Opie not handling the screen size or whether there's something 
else causing it. Something to investigate further.


  

I hope we can figure it out :)

BTW which Simpad model is it that you have?

  

I own a SL4 and a T-Sinus.
The brightness is not changeable. 



Looking at the code it is writing values to /proc/driver/mq200/backlight. Is 
this is no longer correct?


  
It is no longer correct for kernel 2.6. I fixed this and other things I 
will send a patch to the opie bugracker and a mail to opie devel.
A bigscreen background would also be cool. 



I think we already have an 800x600 background, it's probably just a matter of 
including it when building the appropriate packages in OE.


  

How can I figure out that?

Feel free to write me I have spare time  and I want to spend it for a
better integration of opie on the simpad.



Well, I would welcome any simpad-related patches and if there is anything 
directly I can do to help please let me know :) Further technical discussions 
should probably take place on the opie-devel mailing list.


  

I will do so.

Hi all,

I'd like to request that Opie 1.2.3 be declared supported in Angstrom stable. 
Most of the showstopper bugs previously identified have been fixed, and I'd 
like the chance to move onto and finish 1.2.4 for eventual inclusion. In 
addition I stand ready to provide the necessary support for Opie in Angstrom 
as I have done previously.


Any comments/objections?

  

Hi,
I have just tested the image for simpad (built today from stable 
branch). I am quite impressed :) . Suspend/resume works (button 
checking) joypad is also working. I need to look at the code but it 
seems that there is now a general evdev class or something - very nice!
One thing I was not able to debug is that the close button is not 
visible and at the lower left there is a clickable keyboard icon but I 
cannot see it (see this screenshot [1]) . The brightness is not 
changeable. A bigscreen background would also be cool.


Great work at all - many thanks!

[Angstrom-devel] [RFC] Machine mentors and machine backport patch reviews policy change

2008-03-27 Thread Bernhard Guillon
Hello Angstrom community,
should we change the backport policy to be more open?
We have machine mentors for different devices. Some devices are only 
used by few developers. And the more Angstrom is supporting different 
machines the more difficult it will be to review stuff which only 
affects one machine for other developers.
One need at least one vote from a Angstrom core developer (concerning 
the FAQ there even should be nothing like an Anstrom core team).
So why not give the machine mentors more weights in there votes?
They own the device and they bugfix, talk and cooperate with the users. 
I also would like to ask if it would be possible for the users to vote 
for some backports (concerning the FAQ users are some kind of developers)?
As a machine mentor I feel helpless at all and not involved into 
Angstrom. I am not able to help the users and I cannot tell them 
anything. At the moment I must recommend patched images. I really don't 
like that. I would love to be able to point to a official Angstrom 
image. Also it confuses users and I believe some of them will never try 
it again :(.

[Angstrom-devel] simpad r9 x11 image has two kernels installed at /boot

2008-03-08 Thread Bernhard Guillon
Hi,
I was testing the x11 r9 image and I am quite happy with it, but it 
contains the old 2.6.21 and new 2.6.14 kernel at /boot.
Is it possible to remove the old one?

best regards

 You should figure out what pulled in the old one. Usually, that happens
 when there's a module for old kernel which is no longer available for
 new kernel. If such module gets into image, it pulls old kernel.

   
There is /lib/modules/2.6.21/kernel/crypto/aes.ko as the only module in 
/lib/modules/2.6.21.
In 2.6.21 defconfig file there is CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=m set also in 2.6.24 
defconfig.

It seems aes.ko was renamed to aes_generic.ko from 2.6.21 to 2.6.24. How 
can I change it to use aes_generic.ko and not aes.ko?

Hi,
for the simpad it would be awesome** 
http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/awesome.html if we could wait 
until this kernel patch (Bugtracker #3927) is in stable branch.

It:
* updates simpads kernel to 2.6.24.
* fixes simpads pcmcia problem (without no hostap_cs is possible)
* adds kexec and atag support
* defconfig changed to support more devices

But this kernel update requires changing mkfs.jffs2 commmand line to do 
not use -n (no-cleanmarkers) ! Else jffs2 crashes on simpad!
Unfortunately I have no clue how to change this in oe.

I am currently not able to test it with .dev branch but I have tested 
the patch with .angstrom-stable!

Koen Kooi wrote:
 Looking at the patch it seems to enable pre-802.11 cards and it also
 seems to lack the crypt modules for WPA. 
SIMpad only has 16 bit pcmcia slot.
 And while we are at it, we should also check for other modules to be
 enabled like fuse, sl811-cs etc, since the pcmcia slot makes the simpad
 quite expandable.

   
Good point. I think we should start to provide lists for device 
classes.  Like device x has pcmcia (16bit) - modules (xyz) should be 
enabled/disabled.
For old devices there should be the possibility to have modules for such 
old stuff in the feeds or not?
In my opinion we should provide as many modules as possible in the feeds.
Else someone will create a Kernel module package and put it somewhere to 
a server and there will be a lot of not needed feeds.

[Angstrom-devel] RFC: add new simpad defconfig to Angstrom stable

2008-01-12 Thread Bernhard Guillon
Hello,
most of the WLAN modules are not activated in current simpads kernel 
defconfig file.
Also the MMC over GPIO modification module, which makes it possible to 
expand your available space while being able to use the PCMCIA slot for 
a WLAN card.

I would like to get this new defconfig [1] into Angstrom stable which 
changes that.
What is your opinion about it?

Why don't you use gpe-pim [4]? A syncing-howto you can find here [5].

  It will always stay that way until music, video, PIM, and something useful
 happens.
Video is sometimes not possible because of low resources of embedded

 I still don't have a linux machine available (Maybe vendors repair 
 broken suff in taiwan or so), but I will buy an external disk, install 
 linux on it and boot my parents windows PC from it. Then I will port my

 The suspend/resume stuff also needs some work.
   
Which parts of suspend/resume needs some work?
Do you want to put the device_drive to platform_driver patch to mainline?
We are using some of your patches for simpad kernel (2.6.21 in oe). Also 
mrdata added some more suspend/resume fixes. Suspend/resume is working 
quite well on simpad.
There are a lot of patches now for sa1x00 and we should try to get them 
into mainline. Maybe we can work together?

[Angstrom-devel] suspend patch

2007-09-14 Thread Bernhard Guillon
Hello,
I am the machine maintainer of SIMpad and I want to get rid of the 
suspending problems (oe bug 2598).
In order to get a solution integrated into Angstrom I am willing to do 
as you tell me to do.
I created a power off daemon which watches the power off button and 
suspends the device. 
I also have asked on the arm-linux mailing list about doing this in 
userland or kernel space and it seems that Russel King thinks that it is 
a good idea to have it in userland. At a long term I want to get the 
SIMpad patches going into mainline so it would be waste of code and time 
to do it in kernel space. But I am willing to do even this if you tell 
me that the Angstrom team thinks that this would be the right solution 
for this distribution.

best regards

Bernhard (mr_nice) Guillon
