I have done some googling on free cad software, anything beyond 2D is

Import VCF contacts into Paroli

2009-06-12 Thread Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Hi,

I fixed a python script that imports VCF files into Paroli.

I'd like to make it do a better job, but I'd need Paroli's
contacts DB structure, Mirko, do you have a description somewhere?

Anyway, if you don't mind having multiple contacts for the same
person when they have multiple numbers, the following should work...

If you want to provide a package for SHR, it should be better to build
it using the SHR's build system (which is OpenEmbedded build system).
There is a draft about creating package for SHR here :
http://shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Packages
It is a little bit more difficult than building a simple .ipk using
ipkg-utils but it handle dependencies and should be easily integrated
to official image SHR.

Hope it helps.

Yeah ! You may even be able to make this count as a semester or

The most promising one seems to be HeeksCAD. It has fairly
comprehensive CAM integration and can do parametric modeling via
Python scripts. Salome also looks quite powerful and is perhaps
more mature but appears to lack CAM integration.

Do you mean without that 47k resistor ,Fr will detect current lower or

The pouch is not very useful. Maybe when you're traveling and want to put
the FR in your luggage. Not when you carry it in your pocket. You might
consider buying the leather case, it will protect very well if you use it in
tough conditions.

That depends on your preference. The FR doesn't have any way to attach the
stylus, so the bigger one is harder to lose.

if you append lxde-core to the list of packages to install, another

apt could show at _once_ what package is at the root of that dependency

the package missing indeed is lxmenu-data.

searching for that name, you will find there's a package (somehow) called  
lxmenu-data_0.1-1_all.deb
and that name in turn leads to

if someone with more knowledge of the debian internal cann explain, why a

yet so simple (judging from the contents) could be missing, i'll be  
gratefull.

Thank you all for your feedback!

The bitbake recipes need some clean-ups, for example SRCREV should be
moved to autorev in the openmoko tree.

It would be good to integrate the recipes into the openembedded (shr?)
repository, request was filed already
http://shr-project.org/trac/ticket/515

There are additional plugins available for canola, e.g. youtube,
lastfm or upnp. When I have time I will create packages for them too

Re: Better handling of AUX and POWER buttons

2009-06-12 Thread Michal Brzozowski
Speaking about this, how to change the default behavior of the buttons in
Om2009? I know that both of them come as X events and can be observed using
xev, but the power button suspends the device even if you're not running X,
so its action is probably controlled by power management. But APM doesn't
seem to allow changing the behavior like ACPI does. Any hints?

Paroli Contacts format is cPickle. I think you use the same in your script.

The actual saving happens in paroli-core/tichy/persistance.py:61
def save(self, data):

file = self._open('w')
pickle.dump(data, file, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL

Its just a dump of cPickle module.


The question is, how data is prepared. The data (to be saved) is prepared at
paroli-services/phone/contact.py:251
def save(cls):
"""Save all the phone contacts"""
logger.info("Saving phone contacts")
contacts = tichy.Service.get('Contacts').contacts
data = [c.to_dict() for c in contacts if isinstance(c, PhoneContact)]
tichy.Persistance('contacts/phone').save(data)
yield None

Now the question is what is "c" and where is the to_dict() method:
The to_dict() method is at contact.py:212, and the c is a Contact
instance of Contact class (line 140).

So if you place some print here and there it should reveal anything you want
to know. For developing paroli (how to set up), please see this wiki page:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Paroli-developer-setup

Hope it helps. If you have any question or want to discuss more, please
drop in #paroli channel, we are usually there.

We could also integrate this import thingy in paroli->settings application.
So if you are persevering enough, everyone will benefit from it;)

And we are exploring opimd integration, once it is stable enough,
it is likely paroli contacts will be migrated over. So integrating this
vcf importer is required at some stage anyway.

I urge you to start contributing to paroli!;)

Laszlo

ps: Maybe Mirko can add a bit more info. But he is very busy these days
with his personal life. I hope the dust will settle really soon.

I know transmission works on debian. You can get the source and
compile/install yourself or alien the .deb to tar.gz (or opk if it
supports it). Not sure how well the latter will work though. I read on
the ml a few times that opk and deb are pretty similar so it shouldn't
be an issue. Give it a shot and see how it goes! I don't know why you'de

Hi Sven,

is it OK to use your code and GPL it? I started building a little GUI for what 
you have done as a travel diary sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
You can see what I have done so far here:
http://git.senfdax.de/?p=travel-diary;a=summary

Currently it does nothing else than requesting GPS and diesplaying the fields.

bitbake recipe to follow as soon as it really does something.

Anyone interested in making an icon?

Thanks! Is there a daemon that I can -HUP or do I need to restart for the
changes to take effect?

Going back to the original point. It would be best if there was a config
file where one could specify all the different keypress events (short AUX,
short power, long AUX, double AUX, power-AUX, etc) and bind actions to them.
The actions would be: suspend, shutdown, lock, close app, show/hide
keyboard, send a custom signal to app, etc.

I will answer this myself, it's dbus-daemon.

But have another question though :-), is it possible to create custom
actions, for example run a script? It would be nice if you could add some
vibration or led flash to some actions.

There's already an example in rules.yaml:

Thanks for the information.

I just wanted to import all those contacts and as such I needed something

The actual problem is that if you use E keybinding for example to
"simple lock" the screen when press the aux button you cannot use it
in applications.
So we should have smart E keybinding, "long aux", "long power", but
when you press/release buttons applications receive these events too.
That's why I suppose E (and at most other alternatives) cannot handle
that and we need a smart daemon to filter/inject events.
About my experiments I just discovered that some applications simply
refuse to process XSendEvents for security reasons. This is bad, as
using X you may differentiate virtual injected keys events based on
the destination applications, so AUX may trigger "enter" to one, "F11"
to another and so on.
As of that I think we need to filter events at input lever layer
(other ideas or solutions are welcome of course).
Il try to contact Theodoros Kalamatianos, the author of actkbd [1]  to
ask him for the support for such complex key shortcut, as it's daemon
already has keyboard event injection and use 2.6 linux event
interface.

Navit internal GUI

2009-06-12 Thread Lothar Behrens
Hi,

I have used navit for a while now and today I have updated to  
svn-2314. It gets better and better, but I still have my problems with
some parts of the internal GUI.

When adding more bookmarks than the screen can display I have no  
option to scroll in the bookmark list. So more than a hand full
of bookmarks are unusable. (If I am not missing any way to lookup the  
bookmarks)

When displaying the route description a next and prev button is shown  
and this could be used for all list data.

Thinking about bookmarks, why not adding a feature to the address book  
to start navit with the contact as destination?
(Or correlate the data anyhow)

Beside the problems and idea, congratulation. The route calculation  
seems much faster now !

Re: Upgraded using angstrom rep -- infinite loop on startup

Thanks for the clarification, Robin --

the wiki is confusing on the matter:

Here 
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_your_Neo_FreeRunner#Update_with_the_package_manager)
I read that need to point my reps to unofficial User reps, but, in User reps 
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Users_Repositories) it says "Angstrom is the 
base distribution of Openmoko Linux distribution." So, I assumed that Angstrom 
is the one that should replace defunct http://buildhost.openmoko.org/

So, where are the stable repositories and how to set them up?

Re: [SHR] create opkg-packages

2009-06-12 Thread Steven **
I created an ipk by hand the other day (as there was no OE recipe).
So, it is possible.

Firstly, an ipk is created using ar, not tar.
The ipk contains control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz (created using tar
-czf).  Extract a working ipk to see what goes in these tar.gz's.
The ipk will not work unless the top-level contents of the two
tar.gz's is the . directory.  Call tar from the command line with
"./whatever" to get tar to put everything under a . directory.

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_charger

Judging by the experiences in the wiki, if the resistor isn't 47k it will 
treat it as a normal USB connection. That means drawing 100mA until either it 
negotiates 500mA or it is told to use 500mA or 1A.

Up to you. I rarely use the pouch, and wouldn't have bought one, but some 
people like them. I am careful about where I keep it though, as the screen is 
a bit vulnerable. You might also consider the InvisibleShield screen 
protectors, or the leather case.

If you have SMD rework experience then it might be worth trying, but if you 
break it you probably won't be able to claim under warranty. It doesn't seem 
to be any more problematic than any other lead-free SMD rework from what 
people have said.

I have heard of difficulties shipping to some countries, either with odd local 
shipping arrangements or with things getting stuck in customs. I don't know 
whether that would affect you or not, but it might be worth asking.

Check that you order the right frequency range for your GSM providers. I guess 
it'll be the Europe/rest-of-world model (900/1800/1900) rather than the US one 
(850/1800/1900) but I don't know what your providers use.

I can't think of any other issues. You know the software's not exactly 
consumer-ready, and about all the hardware issues I think, so you should be 
able to judge whether or not it's what you want.

Excellent, thanks for your work! :-)

HUGE FAT NOTE: while Canola2 is a media application, it's built on the
excellent Python-Terra, this is what makes Canola possible, you can
even augment Canola with plugins like Remember The Milk (RTM, Todo),
Picasa or Pidgin as our GSoC students are doing, or create whole new
applications as Carman (http://openbossa.indt.org/carman/). You can
use it to create launchers, dialers and all. And it is fast and easy
to use! (Canola take a while because it imports tons of plugins and
checks DB and wakes some worker daemons...)


> Currently there are a few glitches:
> * canola package depends on glibc-gconv-iso8859-15 otherwise
> lightmediascanner does not work

You can just disable ISO8859-1 conversion for unknown original media
format (ie: ID3v1 or other formats that do not specify an encoding in
the tag or standard). You can change it using cnl-prefs-set or
terra-prefs-set -c /etc/canola.conf, or patch
canolad/src/canolad/prefs.py to not include that. For per-user
changes:

cnl-set-prefs canolad charsets '[]'

will replace the old list that contains ISO-8859-1 with nothing and no
fallback will be used.

EcoreEvas can rotate the screen itself, so if you wish I can add an
option to start canola rotated. Maybe it's slower than Xrandr
rotation, maybe it's not, worth to try:

ee.rotation = 90

right before ee.show()

If we do a simple theme optimization it can be bit faster. I'm doing
this for a ProFUSION demo we're about to release videos, but we cannot
release the images or the theme itself. If there are manpower
interested in creating so, let me know... I can even help with code
(.edc), just don't have the time/skills to produce neat graphics.
Also, it would be amazing to have a canola themed to match SHR.

Again, this is of my interest and I can allocate my time or an
employee to help with such task to optimize, but we need a designer to
produce the images.

Oh, and Canola was pretty nice too, it just didn't find my OGGs, so I can't

The main GPS satellites are in circular orbits around the earth, so the 
signal quality in Iran will be the same as any other place at a similar 
latitude (assuming that the US government isn't doing anything to 
intentionally degrade the signal in your part of the world).

You are likely to be out of range of the geostationary "WAAS" satellites 
that broadcast additional information, but these signals are not

Without the 47k resistor, it will charge more slowly so as to not
overload the charger.  However, your Freerunner will probably come
with the correct charger.  Mine did.

I wouldn't have paid extra for the pouch,  but my Freerunner came with
one and I use it.  I keep it in my pocket, clipped to a belt loop.
The pouch protects the screen from getting scratched up with the other
random things I have in my pocket.  I also use the pouch to store my
stylus, which would get lost pretty quickly otherwise.  (Suggestion
for whoever designs the next Openmoko Pouch: Include a small pocket or
loop on the outside for a stylus.)

I do not advise you to fix the Freerunner yourself.  Just purchase a
buzz-fixed version.

If you do not yet have GNU/Linux on your desktop computer,  I
recommend that you start now.  It is not strictly necessary, but it
will make using your Freerunner easier and more enjoyable.  You may
also want to join a local Linux User Group (LUG).  Here are some
starting points:

Re: intone a2dp (bluetooth) support

2009-06-12 Thread c_c

Hi,
  I've just got back from a trip - hence the delay. 
  Intone is in the process of a minor re-write. I'm looking at improving the
music manager, writing a small desktop sync client to manage music and tags
and use ecore routines to handle mplayer.
  I still can't seem to get much clarity on A2DP usage. I don't think intone
should really go around pairing bluetooth headsets behind FSO's back. I
think that the pairing should be handled by FSO/some other utility/manually
- if need be. 
  Assuming that the pairing has been set up - I am looking at restarting
mplayer with the flags to get it to stream over bluetooth. I'll add that as
an option.
  Any other ideas/suggestions are welcome. Also, is there a way to get
mplayer to stream mp3 data directly over BT - like gstreamer does? Or would
it be better if I used gstreamer to send mp3 data over BT from intone -
leaving mplayer paused?

yes, it is built on angstrom, but there have been some subtle and very
important changes made by om, which are not compatible with angstrom
anymore. it's a fork. so, just as one should beware installing
packages built for debian onto ubuntu, the user should also be careful
putting angstrom stuff on om2009. some will work, some won't

i think there were some temporary problems with the om build process,
and it will be fixed in a few days, meanwhile everything is offline to
stop people breaking their installs of om2009

I've added the feed, and when installing I get the following:
Configuring canola

Interested in trying it...
