GTA01 is the currently available version. GTA02 has extras such as a faster 
CPU and WiFi - see the wiki for the hardware details we have.

 which version(user) is going to be released in september?

Our current understanding is that GTA02 will be released around September or 
October, but there has been no recent news on this. As we have seen before 
the release date may slip if things aren't ready in time.

It is standard for telephone systems to only provide mono sound for calls.

I believe the reference here to stereo and mono is in regard to the playing
media via the built in speakers etc. I think the second internal speaker was
sacrificed to make room for other goodies or was considered un necessary
given how close the speakers are together.

Stereo will still be available with headphones and other headsets where

Checked your post. i did mount the swap partition when compiling that

I was the one originally noticing this.

It looks like a kernel config change has been checked in to at  
least enable the hard float emulation in

newer built versions.

You will still find it hard to produce a common binary, since I am  
told that the hard and soft
float formats are incompatible, so you can't dynamic link against  
any libraries for float operations.


The Zaurus has hardfloat (i.e. FPU instruction emulation).That is  
why I though the emulator

could be available as a loadable module.

Where can I find binary kernel compiled with hardfloat (I have not  
the right environment and experience to do it myself)?

I have an Athlon 64 3400+ with 2GB RAM and SATA hard-drives.  It took maybe

I've been talking to a few people over the last few weeks about Barcamp
NYC 3.  Hopefully many of you know about this or have attended in the
past.  If not, take a look round barcamp.org to get the flavour.   After
the first successes, it's about time New York had another ;)

As it is easier to kick-start this with a face-to-face, I'm suggesting
two meeting times for the next week to pull people together and move
from there.  

Session 1: 2pm Sunday 19 August.   Meet north-west corner of Bryant
park, inside park. (corner of 42nd and 6th)
Session 2: 6pm Wednesday Wednesday 22 August. Meet north-west corner of
Bryant park, inside park. (corner of 42nd and 6th) 

Two sessions will hopefully mean that people can make 1of them.  I'll
make both to co-ordinate initial volunteers.

Jobs to be done include (but not limited to)

*   co-ordination
*   sponsorship 
*   venue
*   food sourcing
*   budget management
*   equipment management
*   Logo design
*   T-shirt obtaining
*   set up people 


If you want to be involved in the organising, come to one of the
sessions (If you can't make the sessions, let me know which area you'd
like to work in).   If you want to be involved but don't have the time
to work in the planning, we also look for volunteers on the day to help
set things up, a little bit of wrangling and then close everything down.

Neo Sound and USB Questions

2007-08-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi List!

I've got a few questions as I'm a little bit confused about some issues.
(Also have no Neo to test it myself)

First of all, what about the soundcard the Neo provides. Is it a good one
or some kind of cheap hardware, designed for phone-call-quality sound 
output?

(And is it sterio or not)

I guess the AUX-Port on the Neo is a 3,5mm (or maybe 2,5mm) TRS Connector
(german: Klinkenstecker) used often for Headsets (4 connectors instead 
of 3 as usual).

If so, is it still usable for an external amplifier?

Let's assume the soundcard is no good. So it should be possible to use a 
external USB
Soundcard with crazy-high-definition-whatever-output, to make the Neo 
giving me
crystal clear sounds, right? (I think you need that external powered USB 
hub then...)


Is it possible to use the external soundcard and charge the Neo the same 
time? Or

use an external USB harddisk, the soundcard and still charge the Neo?

Well, for what do I need all that information? I want to use the Neo as 
sound system in

my car, and therefor need all this stuff ;)

Thanks for any suggestion!

 First of all, what about the soundcard the Neo provides. Is it a good one

The chipset is a WM8753 from Wolfson Microelectronics. Acording with
their website:

The WM8753L is a low power, high quality stereo Codec with integrated
PCM CODEC designed for portable digital telephony applications such as
mobile phone, or headset with Hi-Fi playback capability.

More info: http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/WM8753/

 (And is it sterio or not)

Yes, it is stereo.

 I guess the AUX-Port on the Neo is a 3,5mm (or maybe 2,5mm) TRS Connector
 (german: Klinkenstecker) used often for Headsets (4 connectors instead 
 of 3 as usual).
 If so, is it still usable for an external amplifier?

It is 2,5mm. And yes, I think that there is no problem to use an
external amplifier.

 Let's assume the soundcard is no good. So it should be possible to use a 
 external USB
 Soundcard with crazy-high-definition-whatever-output, to make the Neo 
 giving me
 crystal clear sounds, right? 

Right.

 Is it possible to use the external soundcard and charge the Neo the same 
 time? Or
 use an external USB harddisk, the soundcard and still charge the Neo?

Sorry, I don't know if this is possible. But I think that it is.

 Well, for what do I need all that information? I want to use the Neo as 
 sound system in
 my car, and therefor need all this stuff ;)

Hey! If you someday make this sound system for your car, please share
with us some docs/photos/anything  ;)

The soundcard is IMO, fairly good.
It's more 'CD' quality than phone call, and is stereo.
Search on audio subsystem on the wiki.
You can in principle use a powered hub, and a external USB soundcard.

 Subject: Re: gmail.com problems and this list
 
 Hi everyone,
 
 
 Short version:
 
 It seems the duplicated messages are not just a Gmail problem: mails
 are also being duplicated from starband.net and possibly others as
 well, so it seems the problem is likely something on the openmoko side
 that only happens to cause duplicates with some sending domains and
 not others.  I'ts also not consistent; some messages from Gmail and
 starband.net are duplicated while others aren't.
 
 I've checked with the Gmail team, and the duplicated messages from
 Gmail are happening because Gmail doesn't receive the SMTP OK from the
 openmoko list server, so it retransmits because it thinks the messages
 don't get delivered.  To debug further, an admin on the list machine
 needs to enable verbose SMTP logging if it's not already enabled and
 provide information about if/when the OK is sent.  Here are some
 example message IDs for which the logs would be useful:
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 If verbose logging isn't already enabled, however, enabling it and
 then sending logs for any future duplicated messages would work too.
 
 
 Detailed version:
 
 On Mon, Jul 09, 2007 at 11:14:03PM -0700, thus spake Wolfgang S. Rupprecht:
  At least one of the opemoko machines at 88.198.124.203 opens an smtp
  connection back to the sending domain to verify the sender address of
  any incoming message.  The smtp-back machine has messed up DNS.  The
  claimed rDNS for that IP is openmoko.org but the forward DNS check
  for that openmoko.org doesn't list 88.198.124.203 as a valid
  address.  If the sending machine is checking for spammers claiming a
  bunk DNS name will reject 88.198.124.203's SMTP verify.  The opemmoko
  machine will then interpret that failed smtp verify attempt as the
  verified address not existing and will decline the initial incoming
  transfer.
 
 Even ignoring the messed-up DNS for the moment, doing an SMTP callback
 is not a good way to check existence of an email account.  For one
 thing, whenever a spammer spoofs a From address in an innocent domain,
 that domain can get bombarded with callbacks.  For another thing,
 spammers sometimes use RCPT commands themselves to check existence of
 email addresses, so ISPs are likely to consider many such requests to
 be abusive behavior.  In the case of a large ISP (such as Gmail), if a
 lot of email is sent to a destination that does callbacks, the
 frequency of callbacks can trigger abuse prevention measures.  See
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_verification for more drawbacks.
 (In particular, note: If a server receives a lot of spam, it will do
 a lot of callbacks and if those addresses are invalid, the server will
 look very similar to a spammer who is doing a dictionary attack to
 harvest addresses. This in turn might get the server blacklisted
 elsewhere.)
 
 For these reasons, Gmail strongly recommends avoiding callbacks and
 instead checking SPF records (Sender Policy Framework, provided via
 DNS) to verify that the mail is indeed coming from Google (i.e. the
 SMTP connection is coming from an IP authorized to send email on
 behalf of Google).

I'm very happy with my Lenovo T60. I would have been happier with a T61, for
the same price, but they didn't have any in stock.

Important lesson learned: There are so many variations, that hardly any are
stocked. When you make your selections of CPU, video device, ram, etc., one is
built for you. Thus the lead time is almost always a couple of weeks.

If you are in a rush, like I was, you are forced to select from the very few
off-the-shelf options. Lesson: Don't wait until the last minute.

The Thinkpad series is rock-solid. I've owned some 5 different models and have
been happy with every one of them.

Thinkpads are well supported in the Linux community via websites (e.g.
thinkwiki) and mailing lists (e.g. ltp - linux thinkpads).

There is a new version of OpenMoko Flasher: http://wiki.openmoko.org/

New features:

* supports multiple parallel downloads
* added progress bar(s)
* shows console output of dfu-util directly in a Text View
* separately remembers which package has been flashed as kernel,  
rootfs etc.

* problem solved with kernel flashing (see below)

NOTE: after flashing a different kernel (e.g. Linux 2.6.21.6-moko11/ 
s3c2410_udc), you will have to configure AJZaurusUSB again.

Re: mailing list management

2007-08-16 Thread Jay Vaughan
i hate this idea of adding tags to the subject: line.  there is  
nothing wrong with checking 'any header' for  
community@lists.openmoko.org and if its found, put it in its own  
folder.  If you can search for a [subjectag], you can search for an  
email address: thus, [subjecttag] is redundant, unnecessary, and  
clutters the subject information, which ought to be better used as it  
is ..

How is filtering on subject less processor intensive than using  
mailing list headers?


And thanks Casey - I also subscribe to about 5 or 6 other lists  
and they all have subject prefixes as well (and much larger more  
frequent lists than openmoko)


I also subscribe to a large number of other lists and only 2 of the  
20 or so have subject prefixes (one of them is the openmoko  
announce list).


It's a little thing but it's silly not to get this fixed sooner  
rather than later - especially as in the very near time frame I  
imagine that FIC will need to have a number of different lists  
(newbies, experts, apps, developers, commercial) etc


I disagree that there is anything to be fixed. Munging the  
subject line or reply to fields would be breaking things rather  
than fixing them. There are a number of ways to distinguish mailing  
list messages from each other without munging the subject line.


I don't want to start a holy war on this as I've seen many in the  
past. However, I've yet to see a convincing argument that justifies  
the use of subject munging and numerous convincing arguments that  
it is a bad thing a prone to breaking. If it is the will of the  
community, I'll deal with it.

 This is something that has been happening off-and-on for a while.  It
 seems to me likely to be something misconfigured in the
 lists.openmoko.org software, but so far no admin has responded to
 requests for debugging help.

It's actually a crashing spamassassin, which then causes the DATA
section of an incoming SMTP transfer to time out, which again causes
some sending email servers, such as gmail, who have a short timeout, to
transfer the message again.

And 'some mail admin' is unfortunately just me.

Wish List - OpenMoko Sounds

2007-08-16 Thread Santiago Crespo
I've just created Wish_List_-_OpenMoko_Sounds wiki page, a collection of
free music/sounds we'd like to listen in the next Neo release
(ringtones, other sounds...)

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wish_List_-_OpenMoko_Sounds

Places to find free music and sounds, licensed in a way that allows free
redistribution, such as creative commons by, by-nd, by-sa, gpl, public
domain, etc. (and allows commercial purposes?):

o A good place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_music

o http://www.jamendo.com : a LOT of free music, with tags

o http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/tagsView.php : a LOT of free sounds, with
tags

Cheers,

Bug 256, gsmd sudden death and making phone calls

2007-08-16 Thread Shawn Rutledge
I just got my Neo today (order 2579) and flashed it with

openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070813013449.rootfs.jffs2
uImage-2.6.21.6-moko11-r1_0_0_2688_0-fic-gta01.bin

gsmd started up, but by the time I could ssh into the phone, gsmd was
not running.  (I wish it would write a log.  /etc/init.d/gsmd says it
uses syslog, but I don't have any log files in /var/log, just wtmp.
syslogd is running.)Then I saw the symptoms of bug 256 - I tried
connecting manually via cu, and did not see the prompt.  Did stty -F
/dev/ttySAC0 crtscts and turned the radio off and on again and got in
via cu and saw a corrupted prompt.  Then I was able to manually send
commands to register on the network, dial a call etc.  Then I tried
gsmd, tested the shell for a while.  Eventually gsmd died.  I had that
happen several times.

Well I just rebooted and tried to ssh in as quickly as possible.  gsmd
started (it said success on the console too) and I got in and saw gsmd
running:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps  | grep gsm
 1143 root588 S   gsmd -p /dev/ttySAC0 -s 115200 -F
 1229 root532 R   grep gsm

then immediately after that, it was no longer:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ libgsmd-tool -m shell
libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte
This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY

Can't connect to gsmd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps  | grep gsm
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

This time I restarted it manually and so far it is still running.

A couple times when I managed to make an outgoing call (to my land
line), on the land line I heard periodic beeps, as if the Neo was
trying to connect to a fax.  Otherwise I have no audio getting through
in either direction, but I haven't farted around with the mixer long
enough to be sure that's an actual problem.

The status bar does not show connected state (just shows an antenna
icon with a question mark).  But the dialer app works if I restart X
after having restarted gsmd.

gsmd just died again.

Do I have a hardware problem, or is everybody seeing this sort of flakiness?

I can also reproduce bug 705, and I found the log in /tmp/gsm.log so I
posted it on bugzilla.
