well... that would be surprising... we (more specifically dos1) found the issue 
and 'opkg install e-wm-utils' fixes it. See blog.shr-project.org for details.

Some packages are broken, so sortdesk is not being installed.

Hi, thanks for letting me know!
The problem is in opkg.org and the repository there. the devel version
installs  sortdesk (to create the folders) from another source that
should be more stable. Run the following on your freerunner (copied
from the end of the Kustomizer devel version)



opkg install

I'm sure we're all experienced the opkg.org problems..

Please have a look at this here: http://www.opkg.org/repo.html
It tells how the repository is built. Try to find what's wrong there..
Being able to find it would allow everyone a nice smooth opkg.org
repository experince..

Anyway, thanks for the new version!

Thanks Tobias!

At #openmoko tried to figure out what's wrong. Someone pointed out
that ftp uses ascii mode by default - I suppose you're uploading at
least the Packages -ascii file. How about packages.gz. Man ftp says
that ascii upload of binary files might corrupt it -> this might be
the problem - using binary format shouldn't corrupt the .gz

So things seem to fail because:
- Empty file is an empty file, not much to discuss about that. Only
need to find out the reason for that: did the authors really upload an
empty package or did the upload fail but an empty file was created?

- ar isn't able to extract gzip files so all files recognized as gzip
will not get listed properly in the Packages file. Again the reason
for the wrong file type should be found: did the packages package it
wrong or did the type/mime/something get corrupted along the way,
during the upload or on the server?

So if YOU reader have packaged some of the packages not recognized as
debian binary please make sure that the package you upload is
recognized as debian binary with the command 'file packagename.ipk'
and then upload it again..

Now we only need to find out a way to contact all packagers...

Hmm.. this is interesting.. What version did you install, 0.35 or the
devel version. Devel has some changes in pythm config, it _might_ have
some effect but not sure.. Check alsamixer if you can find anything
there.. I'll try to have a look at it too..

Your package is broken in opkg.org

2009-03-08 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
(cc:d the authors of some broken packages I was able to extract the
e-mail address from..)

Hi!

If you have packaged some of the apps listed below, I just want to let
you know that the package in opkg.org is broken and not recognized as
an installable file
(to try this, download the packages from opkg.org and run file
package.ipk - it should return Debian Binary but for the ones listed
below, it returns data/empty or gzip)

So please check that your local package returns debian binary and then
upload it again to opkg.org. The file need to have a control file in
it to work in the opkg.org repository opkg.org/packages

Packaging instructions can be found at
http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/freerunner/packaging/

Thanks!

With that huge list of broken packages, wouldn't it be better to just 
remove them from opkg.org's repository while good versions are uploaded?
maybe after that implement some sort of automatic check for both 
conditions (file type and control file inside)

Hi Risto.

Mine (jdd) is correct on my local machine. I uploaded it again (twice
because of a mistake) on opkg.org, and now the file n_
seems to be correct.

The new naming convention (n_package) may cause some problems. Should I remove
completely the package before reinstalling it ?

[Debian] Launch openmoko-panel-plugin functions from .desktop files?

2009-03-08 Thread Marcel
Hello,

Since illume doesn't provide a systray (and the screen's too slim for all the 
icons anyway), I'm looking for a way to for example launch the usb-mode- or 
the shutdown/suspend/wifi(on|off)-panel by hand from some .desktop icon 
instead of the (unavailable) systray symbol. I had a look at the code but I 
don't really understand what launches what and when there... As of writing 
this, I remember some of that must be possible through mdbus calls, but does 
frameworkd provide functions for switching usb host/client mode? (Okay, I 
could find that out myself, API docs ftw...)
But the question stays the same: Can I somehow launch these nice panels 
manually?

i don't know if i am understanding you correctly: you want to start only
a part of opp without haveing a systray application running, right?
first of all you can disable the icons you don't want to have in opp so
there should be no need to strip opp down to what you wanne use. second
the initialization of the icons are mainly done in the StatusIcon object
of the opp code. if you want to add icons to an other environment than
systray, you may want to change this code. we are always happy to
receive patches to enhance opp. but may be the easyest was to achive
your goal is to find/write a systray application for illume.

Yes it's a different way to come at it.

By putting the caps in that case void 100uF will fit easily, but it
needs long leads, the leads violate the can frame / can clearance, you
have to cut the can and make some kind of grommet for the leads to pass
through.  I dunno what happens to BT antenna effectiveness either.

The way I documented you keep the leads short, the components are all in
the can and the can is unchanged, but you're limited to 22uF or maybe 47uF.

Mirko, thanks for your reply.  However like Scott Petersen, I
unfortunately feel the need to rant.
  
I find the decision frustrating.  I guess I don't see why Illume and
Paroli are at such odds.  With Paroli's current direction it seems to
mean that if I want to help develop Paroli, as it is meant to be used, I
must give up using the FreeRunner for anything else.  By isolating
Paroli in that way it may have the effect of even more fragmentation of
community resources and less people joining in on its development.  I'll
tell you, it makes me feel less enthusiastic.  

My desire is to be developing on the FreeRunner.  Paroli seems like a
good way to go.  I enjoy working with Python, Edje, and now learning
Elementary.  To that end I have been experimenting with Paroli toward
the goal of integrating "FSO Control"[0] into it.  Unfortunately the
time when I can do that is sporadic and, due to those constraints, I
can't just plain say, "Yes I will be helping with Paroli."  So my
frustration is also that I can't commit my own support to any large
degree in an effort to steer Paroli's direction.

   Another type of breakage I've seen is this one (data and control archives
in wrong order):

$ ar tv fluid_0.0+svn20070817-r2_armv4t_eabi.ipk 
rw-r--r-- 1000/1000  4 Aug 17 02:28 2007 debian-binary
rw-r--r-- 1000/1000  45830 Aug 17 02:28 2007 data.tar.gz
rw-r--r-- 1000/1000411 Aug 17 02:28 2007 control.tar.gz

   While this seems to work fine with the Debian tools, it would be
preferable to fix the tool which builds the packages that way. Packages
broken this way can be fixed like this:

$ cd empty_directory
$ ar xov broken_package.ipk
$ rm broken_package.ipk
$ ar qcv broken_package.ipk debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz
$ rm debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz

> > GZIP
> > yphonekitd_0.4.3_any.ipk
> > zomg_0.0.6-r2_armv4t.ipk
[snip]

   They might be gzipped tar archives. An example case I came across:

$ cd empty_directory
$ tar -zxf pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t_DolfFix.ipk
$ rm pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t_DolfFix.ipk
$ ar qcv pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t_DolfFix.ipk debian-binary control.tar.gz 
data.tar.gz

I agree.  I haven't commented on this before, because I didn't want to
be purely negative; but if others are feeling the same way, perhaps
it's worth adding my voice.

To be honest, my heart fell when I read the very beginning of the
Paroli website: "In a few words one could say: paroli is a new
approach to application development on the openmoko phones."  My
reaction to that?  "Good grief, that's exactly what we DON'T need."
In other words, a new approach is exactly what we don't need - and
especially a new approach that shuts out all previous approaches.

What we need, in my opinion, is the hard work - in terms of QA,
usability, and bugfixing - of polishing what is already out there; not
reinventing the wheel again from scratch.  Frankly, anyone can start a
new approach; that's easy.  The hard part is finally getting to an
actual product.

To make a constructive suggestion: I wonder what the official Openmoko
view is of SHR Testing?  I think it's pretty good, so

- why not help to polish that?

- if not, what _precise_ reasons do OM have for believing that the
  Paroli route will produce (in the near future) something better than
  SHR?

Neil

Oh, that's interesting. fso-gpsd should actually be gpsd compatible.
Could you explain more why it's not working/what is not working or what
gps.py actually does to talk to gpsd.

One problem you might encounter is that ogpsd and fso-gpsd only switch
on the GPS when there's actually a program that needs GPS. In the case
of fso-gpsd that happens when you connect to the gpsd port.
My guess is that the connection is either made at the constructor
(g = gps.gps()) or for every call (g.query("admosy")).
At this point the chip will not have any fix for sure, even with
hotstart working it usually takes ~16 seconds.

What you can do to test my hypothesis is start a different program like
the GPS view in zhone and wait until GPS actually has a fix and then
try with your program. If you get a fix then you can request the
resource GPS to make sure GPS stays on.

> So you have 2 solutions:

Transparent keyboard in illume

2009-03-08 Thread Richard Kralovic
Hello,

despite some skepticism about having transparent keyboard in illume, I
decided to try it. After some work, I got it working. More precisely, I
am using the qwo external keyboard (an implementation of quikwriting
technique); imho it's great with stylus, and also quite finger-friendly
when the keyboard is large enough. I think it's quite usable. As for
speed, displaying/hiding the keyboard is quicker than displaying/hiding
the default keyboard, since the application window is not resized (which
is usually quite slow).

I wrote a small howto about it, it's (together with screenshots) here:
http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/

Actually, to get it work, I had to fix some bugs/annoying features of
Xglamo. I reported these (together with patches) as ticket #2242 and
#2243 at docs.openmoko.org about one week ago. Unfortunately, I got no
answer regarding these patches. Would it be possible to accept them to
the openembedded repository and close the tickets?

Next, I had to force illume not to resize the running application when
displaying keyboard, and also not to force the width of the keyboard to
be equal to the width of the screen. Currently, I have only very ugly
hack to do this and I am not quite sure how to do it right. I am
thinking of making illume look for the _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY property
on external keyboards, and behave in above-described way if this
property is set. Would this be acceptable for including upstream?

Among their properties is also a complete lack of transparency: i
don't remember anyone from the community has ever seen any public
document or mail (not even talking about IRC discussion) from
them. The main UI design decisions weren't put clearly or discussed in
public ever before actual implementation existed.

Also their goals are completely unknown, given it's quite possible
they're aiming for GTA03's capacitive TS they might design an
interface largely inadequate for the FreeRunner and GTA01.

So, if behind the UI design decisions are the same people who abused
Raster, we'd better forget about Paroli and improve SHR for good.

The GPS chip can only search for a limited number of SVs in parallel
(the new ublox5 chips comes with a one million correlators which more
or less allows it to search for all SVs in parallel) so in order to
know which SVs should be in view it needs:

1) Current time
2) approx. position of the GPS device
3) Almanac (coarse orbit information) of the SVs

Cellhunter http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/CellHunter tries to collect
GSM cell locations by making a game of it. After we have sufficient
coverage it will be possible to use that for initial position or even
for an approximate location in areas where GPS doesn't work.

Re: Transparent keyboard in illume

> but any plans on making a transparent large "normal" keyboard?
> btw: it seems great!

Actually, it is quite easy to make the default illume keyboard
transparent. It should work with the same method as for qwo, except that
you need to revert the first hunk of e-wm-hack.patch, i.e., illume had
to set the width of keyboard to be equal to the width of the screen.

Afterwards, you can use the transset utility (I just added it to my
webpage) to change the transparency of the keyboard (and also
transparency of any other window). Surely, this is very rough and for
normal usage some decent support in illume would be nice. But I guess
this should be discussed with Raster...

All binary packages that I have built are available at the howto page:
http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/
If you are using FSO milestone 5, they should work. If you are using
different distribution, they _might_ work, but they might break your
system as well, so use on your own risk. I have only a compile
environment set up for FSO, so I can not easily provide other packages
just now...

check if you have those files:

/usr/lib/enlightenment/utils/enlightenment_fm
/usr/lib/enlightenment/utils/enlightenment_sys

in debian they may be packaged differently... different name or included in the

I'm using  FSO 5.1, so I don't know how it applies to debian exactly ( and
suspend on powerbutton press worked directly and much more quickly through a
rule in /etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml ) But in order to map more
functions to that precious button, I edited
/etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf to map suspend icon click to a custom
script :

action:   suspend   /media/DATA/bin/fso_suspend.sh

which contains the fso command to suspend :

mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
org.freesmartphone.Usage.Suspend


While being significantly slower it works fine that way.
Don't know if this helps, but maybe a start ...

I'm interested to hear how that affects TTFF. The way I understand it
initial position is only used to calculate which SVs are in view so the
chip knows which SVs to search for. So a pacc of 3km or 9km shouldn't
have any noticable effect. This is just guesswork though, so any
results on your part would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, so what you're saying is that this commit
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=framework.git;a=commitdiff;h=ad2ec48cdb5ab9bdddc15adfc05cbd2e5b8a2cee
doesn't fix the situation for you?
If that is the case could you please send me the ALM/EPH messages that
you get when the chip crashes so I can take a look at it?

Daniel Willmann

Poky

2009-03-08 Thread xChris

I just tried the Poky [1] on the Freerunner... I like it because its fast,
unfortunately a lot of things are missing (phone, battery management, etc)

Is it possible to install packages from the opkg (for example), or run
paroli on Poky?

Re: [Cellhunter] no neighbouring cells

No, frameworkd is the problem in that case. Zhone uses the DBus API to
get neighbouring cells while cellhunter prior to that patch used the
debug interface to send a special AT command to the modem (which is
what the neighbouring cell DBus API does anyway).

It seems that the new-timeout branch has somehow make the debug
commands useless, we'll need to investigate that.

   I flashed the moko11 GSM firmware today and found the same thing: -oo
without FLUID_FLOWCONTROL works. I couldn't not get any of the other
combinations to work. I first backed up the old firmware, then flashed the
new one:

# time FLUID_PORT=/dev/ttySAC0 fluid.exe -oo -r 0x..0x0040 -f 
~rask/download/firmware/calypso-firmware-backup.m0
(real   6m28.286s   user0m11.200s   sys 0m4.315s)

# time FLUID_PORT=/dev/ttySAC0 fluid.exe -oo -f 
~rask/download/firmware/calypso-moko11.m0
(real   2m56.764s   user0m16.070s   sys 0m0.990s)

   I did need two power off/on cycles between the two fluid invocations,
though. I did not use "s3c24xx-gpio b7=0" as according to the schematics,
pin GPIOB7 is just the MODEM_ON signal.

Re: Open IPKG packages from command line

Try it with `file': it will usually tell you what kind of file you're
looking at.  `ipkg' packages have used various formats over time, the
ones I remember are .tar.gz and ar.  In bith cases, the content is a few
meta files plus a .tar.gz (so you stupidly get double compression if the
outer wrapper is .tar.gz).

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions#Om_series

qt ext is very stable and usable, but because it uses framebuffer, not
x11, there are limited applications that can run on it, unless you use
the extremely bodgy x11 hack

i was quite pleased with 2008.8, but .12 has been a complete pita

for a simple stable phone, i'd start with qt ext and then give shr a go
