Well, I don't know German language. But maybe you should install fonts

Not generally. Several people have reported a blank screen that is  
only shown on the first attempt. But we can't debug that easily,  
because it appears only for real payments and not in debug mode.

According to the logic it *should* be a https protected page from  
either ipayment.de or your bank.
If someone can find out the URL of the blank page that would really  
help us.

Thanks,
Nikolaus

Absolutely, to the point that I wasn't even aware that there were other

 You put your return request into the RMA process for the Openmoko 
store.  For
 that process to work  we have to be able to find you in the database. 
So, if you could
 verify that you did in fact purchase the phone from that store ( the sn

   1. Figure out how the heck the system didnt capture your information
   2. Process your return.

it seems that dates is not getting the correct day from the device.
running the date command in the terminal displays friday may 8th. but

i dont see much information for the app on the wiki page or the

Some time ago I customized /etc/init.d/banner for Qi to fill the gap
(IE 40 seconds of blank screen) left with Qi lacking splash. 

The one I use is attached as banner-om, displaying the Openmoko logo.
(I'd been trying to print a random Lao Tze quote beneath it, but could
only get random with bash, and bash barfed on the ASCII art for some
reason) 

I just created another, attached as banner-dp. (Hint: Use Gimp,
scale & crop your logo or image to 150x150, scale again to 75 vertical
only, then save as ASCII art - and you'll have to search&replace to
make sure there's no ` backquote characters in the image)

I use ANSI codes to print the OM logo in orange, and the DP logo in
green.  I thought about working on getting the tongue red, not sure if
it's worth the effort to me though.

If your distro doesn't already have banner, you'll need to symlink it
to something like /etc/rcS.d/S03banner

Like in every normal GNU/Linux distribution create an executable sh

#!/bin/sh
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

do not forget to make it executable. /etc/profile is responsible for
launching that script.

Version 0.4 of MokoGeocaching released

2009-05-08 Thread Jesper Vestergaard
This is a litle gtk python script that searches the geocaching.com site 
for caches near your current position or a user specified lattitude and 
longitude and add the cache as a poi in tangogps.

This is version 0.4 and the code is still not pretty but quite usable.
The package can be found here http://www.opkg.org/package_141.html

Warning: I have only tested it on shr unstable

The script can now:
- get gps location from phone
- user can manually set location
- user can specify range
- script can download matching geocaches and add as poi
- read geocaching.com username and password from configuration file
- threaded gtk and downloading - but unfortunately not searching
- unicode support
- gui input for username and password
- user can specify whether he wants to download already found caches 
or skip them and whether he wants to download just caches of a specific type
- hints are downloaded and user can specify if hints will be 
displayed encoded or decoded
- coordversion is added. It's a tool to convert coordinates in their 
different presentations (see below)

Future plans:
code commenting and sanitizing
threaded search

Coordversion:
You can convert coordinates from one presentation into the two others by 
entering the given coordinates into
the matching row and press the ">" at the end of the line. The other 
fields will be updated or the status field
will display an error.
The three presentations are:
row - presentation - example
-
first row - decimal degree - 52.12346 013.98765
second row - degree, decimal minutes - 52 7.4076 13 59.259
third row - degree, minutes, decimal seconds - 52 7 24 11 179 15

You can add the coordinate you just converted as poi into tangogps. 
Therefore you can specify a name (which will be the title of the poi) 
and click on "add as poi".
ATTENTION: It will always be added the point which is currently in the 
FIRST ROW (decimal degree field).

In the two fields below you can enter bearing values in degree and 
kilometers. By clicking the ">" button in the same row the program will 
calculate the new coordinates to the given coordinates (again taken from 
the first row) the angle and the distance and display them in the fields 
below. From there you can move the new coordinates up again by clicking 
"^" to keep converting them into other presentations or add them as a poi.

Example:
You are on a geocaching Trip and on one stage you get the coordinates 52 
30.87294, 013 21.003738 and are told to go 150 meters in 45°.
You would enter the coordinates into the second row and press the ">" 
button next to it to get the decimal degree presentation into the first 
row (52.514549, 13.3500623). Then you would enter 45 and 0.15 in the 
bearing fields and hit ">". The new coordinates are displayed below. By 
pressing "^" you bring the new coordinates up again. Now you can, for 
example, add a nice name like "Stage 2 on my multi" and press "add as 
poi". The new poi should now be visible in tangogps.

Installation:
install python-sqlite3 python-pygtk python-pygtk python-netclient 
python-mime
run mokogeocaching.py or use the mokogeocaching icon located in the 
launcher.


Mokogeocaching works best with tangogps 0.9.6 because of a bug in 0.9.5 
where tangogps crashes if a poi i larger than 1500 charaters.

Me too...
Actually... I think I have only one finger friendly solution which will 
remedy that. What I wish for is a large transparent fullscreen keyboard 
which is activated by a short press on AUX. (long press => some menu)

Combine this with auto-rotation and writing an SMS will just be turning 
you Neo and pressing AUX. You'll have large keys, to easily hit and 
you'll be able to see the text you write through the keyboard overlay.

[openBmap] Release 0.3.0

2009-05-08 Thread Onen
Hello everyone!

Here is the new release of the openBmap[1] GSM/GPS logger to build a 
free database of GSM coverage.

Highlights:
For the project:
* We have a twitter feed[2]. It gets updated every time uploaded logs 
start getting processed.

For the software:
* Beta Neighbour cells log now stable and activated!
We are still evaluating how to use it for map generation. Neighbours 
cells are not taken into account for statistics on main Webpage right now.
* Log files are now much bigger, you should have less files to upload.
* If logs in memory when exiting, they will be written to disk.
* Ignore neighbour cell if lac, cid or rxlev is 0.
* GUI now says: GPS is active, and waiting for 3D fix.
* Fix: GPS time in log is now based on GPS data.
Was using the local time of the phone.
* When MCC changes, write logs to file.
This means, a log file, only contains data related to a same MCC, that 
is to say, to one country.
* Details in CHANGELOG.

As usual thanks to Stefan and mrmoku for putting it into FSO and SHR feeds.
ipk package available at sourceforge and opkg.org[3].

If anybody is interested in building a package for debian, please 
contact me!

Comments, feedback, as usual are more than welcome.

Finger friendly keyboards

2009-05-08 Thread Jon Levell
Hi,

So far on my FR, I've mostly been typing non-dictionary words so the
predictive keyboard has been getting in my way. I knew a few people
had created finger friendly keyboards so I had a bit of a play.

Firstly I tried EasyTouch_SHR:
http://www.opkg.org/package_174.html
But like many of the commenters on that page, it didn't work for me,
first it altered my theme but also (as I didn't remove my other
keyboards I suspect), all the keys on the keyboards overlapped each
other.

Then I tried Michal Brzozowski's keyboard:
http://markmail.org/message/ufdue7qhlfjwabkn
but I didn't like the design decision to design it around flexing
the case.

I started to create my own (which I may still do) but found if I
just used the keyboard files from the EasyTouch_SHR it worked
basically as I wanted.

I just put the keyboard files (.kbd) from and the package into 
/usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards (and moved the Default 
and Numbers keyboards to a backup directory).

It's work very nicely on a recent SHR-Testing - maybe the keyboard
files could be hosted separately or even better a minimal package
could be made that just automated that.

Has anyone else tried this?

Jon.

Thanks for your feedback - I've (finally) installed SHR testing now.
Looks quite nice, and was easy to reflash :).
I've only tested it for half a day (and managed to crash/hardlock the
thing several times already :/, but hey, maybe the best Freerunner
software I've seen wrt look and feel).

I managed to get Mofi working to connect to my wlan (WPA-PSK+AES).
But, after suspend/resume, I'm not sure however how to get online
again (over wlan). Maybe a know issue? (It seems I'm not able to
enable wlan again in the settings)

As for mplayer - are there any known to work mplayer frontends (or any
other *player frontends) for SHR? I managed to get pythm work, but am
not sure how to make it load files over the LAN.

As a sidenote; I am not able to boot the device when USB is connected.
Is this a know "bug"? Are there any known workarounds?

This is what Christoph is talking about with his scientology reference -
my emails are saying things that are not favorable to OM, and you
therefore dismiss them without even really reading them. My emails
contain significant points which you have entirely failed to address.
Instead you focus on my tone, call me a troll, and tell me to shut up
and go away.

To me it sounds like you're not interested in freedom of speech.

   I believe it's what they call an urban canyon. When you have something
tall - usually a building - which reflects the GPS signals on one side of
you, you will appear to be in a different position than where you really
are. Whatch your HDOP values - it's the third of the slash separated values
shown by TangoGPS on the main screen. If it's as much as 4.5, the position
shown can easily be 30 - 40 m off.

I had never heard of Godwin's Law until now! :O

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

I was sitting here puzzling over Marcel's comment, which I didn't
understand:

"using this... deprecated language doesn't make me feel you really know
what you're referencing there."

This had me confused - I knew exactly what I meant! "Totalitarian". I
was trying to figure out what he was saying, and/or politely say "I
don't understand what you mean"...

then I read this:

"I wanted folks who glibly compared someone else to Hitler or to Nazis
to think a bit harder about the Holocaust"

and I said to myself: "Oh, shit..."

I have been very ignorant, and now realise that I have said something
very inappropriate. And I humbly and sincerely apologise for that.

I feel pretty bad about this, especially the part where I couldn't
figure out what Marcel was trying to say. Now I understand. and I feel
like a complete dick. Sorry.

Generally when I hear the word "nazi" used, it means "totalitarian", not
"monster" or "mass murderer" - think of the "soup nazi" in Seinfeld.
That's what I meant. Not the other. *At All*. Sorry.

The wiki page also says:

when an adversary uses an inappropriate Hitler or Nazi comparison, "you
have only to say 'Godwin's Law' and a trapdoor falls open, plunging your
rival into a pool of hungry crocodiles."

Oh Noes, not crocodiles! The wiki page fails to mention any possible
exclusion from this horrible fate for cases of extreme ignorance
followed by sincere repentance... is there any such exclusion, or are
the crocs already gnawing at my stupid ass?

Seriously, please accept my apologies for this. I have learned something

Re: nandwrite problem in writing uboot env (/dev/mtd2)

2009-05-08 Thread giacomo "giotti" mariani
Hello list,
some day ago I decided to change some uboot environment variable (ext2
fs in ext3 fs) from my OM2008.12 booted from the uSD.
I started with:

cat /dev/mtd2 > uboot_env.bin

(the same as nanddump /dev/mtd2 uboot_env_dump.bin as diff confirmed).
A edited it with vim and changed the 2 of ext2 into a 3, flashed it with

nandwrite -p /dev/mtd2 uboot_env.bin.new

but, on reboot, the mobile stopped at the uboot menu (it looked empty to it) 
and I noticed:

r...@om-gta02:~/ubootenv# ls -l
-rw-r--r--1 root root   262144 Mar 26 00:09 uBoot_env.bin
-rw-r--r--1 root root   262145 Mar 26 00:18 uBoot_env.bin.new

so I edited with vim -b obtaining:

r...@om-gta02:~/ubootenv# ls -l
-rw-r--r--1 root root   262144 Mar 26 00:09 uBoot_env.bin
-rw-r--r--1 root root   262144 Mar 26 00:18 uBoot_env.bin.new

but the same result at boot time.
Using xxd and diff I obtained:

Re: Ain't it funny..

2009-05-08 Thread Dale Maggee
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi Steve,

I appreciate your replying to this thread.

I would however point out that I believe that you should have already
been aware of this issue before I raised it in this public mailing list:
I sent three emails to Openmoko asking about getting a refund, and
received no reply to any of them. I've pasted these emails below, after
the "---BEGIN EMAIL THREAD---" Line. You were cc'd in two of these
emails (the ones saying "I've had no reply"). I eventually got a
response from Tony Tu on the trac ticket, at which point I stopped
sending emails to you.

As I've indicated, I've already gone through the process of requesting a
refund for the device, and this was declined. I think you should be able
to find all the info you need at https://support.openmoko.com/trac/ticket/36

I think that if you want to discuss the refund issue with me, it may be
more appropriate to do so off-list, but I realise that I may have
created a public image issue for you here (given my usage of the words
"thieves" and "defrauded"), and that you may therefore want to keep this
public. If you're willing to work with me to resolve my grievances and
prove my assertions incorrect, then I'd be more than happy to come back
here and retract my previous statements once it's resolved :).  That
might be more appropriate, rather than flooding the mailing list with
what will effectively be back-and-forth personal conversations between
you and me. but if you want to discuss it in this public place I have no
problem with that either - up to you.

Since having my application for a refund declined, I had come to kind of
accept that I had "been screwed", and I have since bought another phone.
Since I did that, I've (in my less angry moments) come to see the FR as
a kind-of-cool little open-source device, as long as you don't want to
use it as a phone. I haven't really done anything much with it, because
so far I've been too angry to really even look at it, but I will admit
that it does have potential for something, even if it's not as a
reliable phone.

(That's my whole point, by the way: That it's not a usable phone, even
after a year of waiting, and I bought it because I wanted a working open
source phone, and I was told that the FR would meet that requirement).

I would therefore perhaps be open to accepting a partial refund and
keeping the device as a PDA-sized linux device (The AU Laws allow for
that), even if I never use it. But I think that if this were to happen I
 would maybe not feel cheated anymore and could possibly once again
enjoy participating constructively in the community.

I Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Hi,

Please advise what is the process for getting my money back for my Neo
Freerunner.

Before I purchased this device almost a year ago, I was told that it
could reliably make and recieve phone calls, as per Steve's email below.
This is not, nor has it ever been the case - The device has *never*
reliably made or recieved phone calls, it's overall stability is
completely sub-par, and the ASU software stack mentioned turned out to
be even less reliable and also slower than the original 2007.2 software
stack.

I have listened to Openmoko's promises regarding solving the issues, and
these promises have not been met, repeatedly. In addition to this, as
far as I can see, Openmoko's emphasis does not appear to be on stability
or being able to use the device reliably as a phone, you seem to be more
interested in building new frameworks from the ground up than actually
making the device do what I bought it to do. While I'll agree that FSO
may *one day* provide a usefull framework, it is presently far away from
this goal (*still* no PIM!).

In addition, "a working phone that could be used as an everyday phone"
has a suspend mode, will happily go for more than 4-6 hours without
being attached to a battery charger, and will actually wake up from
suspend mode when appropriate (i.e if somebody calls). Thus this device
does not do what you have told me it would do, even nine months on.
Don't bother trying to tel

I agree this is very important (though I am quite happy with SHR testing
(16th april)- calls and sms and gprs for browsing work perfectly) I dont
think a small cofundus project is an answer for this. SHR, OM 2009, QTEI,
Android, FYP, Hackable 1 + some I am missing are all trying to get there. I
still dont think we will have a fully functional telephoney stack before the
4th quarter of 2009. My idea is to have a large nummber of stable and
interesting apps avaialble when stable telephony arrives on the FR. So I am
looking at smaller projects - those that can be done in a month by one
person.

Yeah it should not have any other dependencies. Glad it's working. 

There is a Kustomizer 2009 thread on one of the lists that will install

When you enter the bug Please set the milestone, and even the severity
or priority. I will however change any one of them as I see fit. 

I think that statement refers more to bug that are already in trac, I'll
find out how to get it adjusted.

That's the trick about it: There's no "official" elementary debian package 
yet and Mirko (?) told me some days ago on #openmoko that the python 
bindings aren't that good yet, either. (Correct my if I remember wrong) So 
the only choice is to build elm by hand since the new set of e17 packages 
which is in preparation at the moment (Joachim Breitner is working on them 
afaik, see pkg-e-devel mailinglist) doesn't contain elm yet.

Dale,

I'm sorry to contradict you (am I really?), but using Nazi slogans in such 
an affair is completely inappropriate. You may like our country as much as 
you want, still using this... deprecated language doesn't make me feel you 
really know what you're referencing there. There are WAY better examples 
for freedom of speech. This is no more rationale than you may think the 
other's contributions to be.

Yours sincerely,

I was wondering if FR could function as a fax client so one could send text

such an application.  If there is some interest I will set this up as the

it's perfectly acceptable to turn a tracklog into a road, and there
are tools at osm/the tangogps website to do this. i find it's only
useful where i'm doing a trip at high speed. at low speed the points
are so close together, that the track jags all over the place and
doesn't precisely represent where i walk/cycled

if you do backtrack/stop for a few moments, it's possible to delete
individual points from an osm way - just click on the one you want to
remove, and press delete on your keyboard (this is using potlatch, by
the way). or, if you've cut a corner, extra points can be added and
dragged around

This is not how it works. You don't turn a tracklog directly into a OSM 
street, so this problem is avoided.

1. Walk around, with gps tracking on.
2. Using one of several possible apps, display the track on the PC,
and download whatever OSM data there is for the region already.
3. So now you see some OSM data (if there were any) and your gps track
on the screen. The next step then, is to draw roads using your track
as a guideline. You will see where you backtracked, but you will of
course draw that road only once. Your track will curve at
intersections, but if you remember that the roads met at 90 degrees,
then you draw them that way.
4. You also add any other information that you remember or wrote down.
Such as street names, type of road, and so on. If you had several
logs, then you just load all of them at the same time and draw
more road lines.

> Essentially I'm trying to understand how burdensome (or not) it can 
> become for a simple sightseeing to also do tracking.

OSM mapping isn't complicated. You decide how much time you want to 
spend on it. You can draw just roads, roads with names, or even add all 
sorts of features like mailboxes, housenumbers, parks, parking lots... 
If drawing road lines becomes too much of a burden for you, just upload 
the traces to osm and hope that someone else will use them for drawing. 
A problem with this approach is that others won't know how the track was 
recorded, so they might make a wrong road where you crossed a lawn and 
things like that.

Either you dont use your phone or its powered off in a draw :) ... see
my last comment below as to why I say this.

I have a 650 - the FR is still a long way from being as stable even now,
as the 650 was when released.  I was getting uptimes of weeks (and now
with the sim in the FR, a battery charge lasts a full MONTH!!!) - the FR
will usually only go a few days or resume cycles before a crash or
reboot is needed and must be charged daily if any real use is made of
it.  It may go more if i dont use it, or get any calls but then, why
have a phone :)

Why am I contributing to a "flame"? - my phone came in the same batch as
Dales to Oz (the first release), and yes, I do feel cheated somewhat as
well - though I am now getting some of the service from my FR that it
was supposed to have when we purchased it - but only because I am
modifying the code for various bits and pieces.

My point - the FR seems to be very flaky - what works for some wont work
for others - in your case it works well, but for many others it is only
partially working, or not at all - and this is after 12 months!.  

Want a concrete example - the FR keeps lousy time.  otimed was
introduced to help with this - but they hard coded a European IP number
into it!  So it works fine in Europe but not here for me in Perth
Australia because its too far away to be accurate and reliable, but the
European users and devs cant see a problem as it "works for them" ...

Please understand that what you see, many others are not, and might have
a quite different viewpoint on this ...

well,  that has beeen discussed so many times already and nothing in the  
views expressed has changed.
i don't see how replaying the whole tape is supposed to make a difference.

criticising the state the fr and the project is in, is ok -- in fact, it  
has imo made the buzz fix finally available, it has improvroved  
communication with the om staff ...
but "it's all crap, they are liars and defraudants" is in no way solving  
anything -- and people who have nothing to post but such comments _are_  
trolls.
they are not interested in making something work, not in sorting out  
issues but to boost their little selves -- iaw: trolls.

and for dale's -- i said what i think of his kind of "argumentation".

yeah, and there we are again.
_i_ for one do not have complaints (at least no significant amount  
different from other phones i used) about the use as daily phone.
it works now about as reliable as my treo650 used to do (which had its bad  
days, too) and the last time i rebootet was for the buzz fix. i don't  
remember when i rebooted the last time before.
and still, i too have discouraged friends interested. so?

what i am saying is, everybody has its own defintion of "working phone"  
and almost everbody has its own software configuration. so, how is a  
globally true statement of "fit to be used as ..." possible?

stating "after one year the fr is still unsusable as (daily) phone" is  
simply not true!
it might be true for _you_, but it isn't for _me_ -- so please, always be  
aware that those statemants express only _your_ point of view, not an  
objective truth.

for the benefit of anyone reading the list archives, that seems to be

me - holding down the power button for 10s and releasing it starts the

Hmmm ... I do contribute and I do use my freerunner (sometimes, mostly
for testing only). So I want to react for once as well:

You see, in the end, Dale's not that wrong: a year after I bought the
phone, I would at least expect a stable simple phone (I couldn't care
less about the extras), but as a company, Openmoko didn't provide
this. Therefore community releases were born, but they shouldn't be
necessary, only additional (or as an alternative). In the freerunner
case, only the community provides software for the phone.
A year later, I have to admit, I sometimes think about selling my
phone as well. I'm still using my old phone as stable phone, simply
because I don't want to recharge each day or reboot my phone every now
and then because unsuspend fails again, or wsod, or risk having my
phone not waking up on incoming calls, etc ...
QtExtendedImproved is as close as it gets for me ... Koolu promised
many times a stable android release, but there also: no release,
months after original promise (I mean, really: low priority for the
"feature" 'entering your sim PIN' ???).
Sometimes people have to face the facts as well. I *love* opensource,
I don't even own a windows pc, look up my name in google if you want
proof. I've worked hard for this phone in the last months, but is it
really worth it? What will I do if the phone breaks? Dunno yet ...
Every project, even an open project, totally in the opensource hands,
can fail ...

Although you might be right about Freerunner promoted as ready for final user 
on www.openmoko.com, when I bought it (August 2008), I perfectly knew 
software was not ready.

Anyway, starting one hot thread like this at this moment has not sense and 
it's some kind of trolling, because if you buzz fix your Neo, and install 
SHR, Hackable::1, or even OM2009 on it, you will have a perfectly usable 
phone. Not perfect, but perfectly usable.

 I'm sorry, but I cannot subscribe this kind of sentences:

" I have been defrauded of $400. And so have you. The only difference is that 
I'm not willing to sit around pretending that being raped is all fun and 
games."

Freedom of speech doesn't allow anybody to assume I'm blind nor to be 
condescending with me.

Some time ago, I have recommended several friends *NOT* to buy a Freerunner, 
because software was not ready. It was a great toy for me, but my friends 
would get desperated. I think it's being open minded (and being a good 
friend ;)

If someone feels raped, he can press charges to OM. But complaining on a 
community mailing list won't solve his problems. Don't you think?

it has nothing to with "identification" but with dale's way to act.
he doesn't use an fr and he does in no way contribute -- what do you call  
someone who lurks on a list he is in no way affiliated to and posts  
repeatedly meanings consisting of only "your point of interest is crap,

you put up your freerunner for sale at ebay months ago.
you don't write anything productive on this list.

All I want from kernel is allowing me to set whatever values I need for both
usb_curlim and chg_curlim.

(also when charging from an external battery pack it is very usefull too not
to pump all its juice just to fill internal battery -> chg_curlim set to
very low)

Personnaly I am not sure but it did not look like usb current was reset on
powerdown when I tested (at least it was not reset to 100mA after I had to
force it to 500 or 1000 on my dumb charger, and this is what I needed more
!)

Well, anyway, even if not perfect (chg_curlim following usb_curlim when it
is changed), these settings proved really helpfull for me !

I agree that this is _the_ deal for anyone in EU. Getting a new
battery in practice covers even the postage costs. Purchased my rework

Sorry, I missed the first mail.

Maybe, you did not read the final announcement (the 30 EUR was the  
initial upper limit) that there is only 3 EUR left over just that our  
shop software calculates the correct shipment fee that covers shipment  
expenses. The rework itself is essentially for free and Openmoko  
provides an additional free battery to make good your efforts and the  
time you don't have the Freerunner to use.
