No gps connection in navit with SHR-unstable

2009-11-25 Thread Carsten Gerlach
Hello at all,

sorry for this crosspost, but I think this topic is for both list interesting.

Today I flashed the new SHR-Image (lite) from 24. nov. 2009 on my freerunner, 
and installed the latest svn version from navit, 2797.

At the start of navit I get this error message:

===
vehicle_gpsd:vehicle_gpsd_try_open:Trying to connect to localhost:default
vehicle_gpsd:vehicle_gpsd_try_open:Warning: gps_fd is 0, most likely you have 
used a gps.h incompatible to 
libgpsvehicle_gpsd:vehicle_gpsd_try_open:Connected to gpsd fd=0 
evwatch=0xaa3e0
navit:main_real:Using '/home/root/.navit/navit.xml'
===

In general the gps is working, tested with tangogps. Only navit doesn't see 
the gps.

What can I do to solve this problem? If any further information is needed, 
I'll try to give my best. :-)

Thanks, Carsten

Re: [debian/fso] fsoraw no effect?

2009-11-25 Thread A.A.
2009/9/26 Nikita V. Youshchenko yo...@debian.org

  following the wiki i started navit with
 
  fsoraw -r Display,CPU navit
 
  nevertheless, the display went blank after the idle timeout defined in
  frameworkd.conf.

 Could you please do two simple things:

 *) check the state of FSO resources while running the above command.

 This may be done with

 mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
 org.freesmartphone.Usage.GetResourceState Display
 mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
 org.freesmartphone.Usage.GetResourceState CPU

 *) check what happens if you manually set resource policies for Display
 and CPU to 'enabled'

 mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
 org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy Display
 enabled
 mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
 org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy Display
 enabled

 Will display blank then?

I have same problem.
When I try to run mdbus command it result:

mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy Display enabled
ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments ('Display',) according to
signature u'ss': type 'exceptions.TypeError': More items found in D-Bus
signature than in Python arguments

How can I solve?

I'm at the same error right now. I tried different settings but nothing
helped. Now i wanted to compile navit on the freerunner myself but
within the shr feeds are not all required packages to do so. And i don't
know how to cross-compile it on my pc. :/
Gps works right with tangogps, omgps and advanced-geocaching-tool so it
have to be something with navit. I have the latest 2797 version from [1]
installed and not the one in the shr feeds. I also linked libgps.so.17
to libgps.so.16. When i look in my current position navit shows
something with 832° in front which is a bit off my current position. ;)

 Have you tried (re)starting fso-gpsd?
 
 AFAIK, tangogps, omgps and advanced-geocaching-tool are all using gypsy and 
 navit is still using gpsd (and fso-gpsd is a compatibility daemon).
 
 I sometimes had the same problem and each time fso-gpsd was not running. It 
 should normally be started when the system boots but I found that sometimes 
 it was'nt running when navit tries to use it.

Tanogps uses gpsd, so this could not be the problem.
But now i tried by accident (opkg update downgraded navit r2797 to shr-u
version r2735) the navit version in the shr repository (r2735) and this
version works and connects to the gps without problems. I also can see
my correct position on the map. So it seems that the precompiled
binaries from the navit homepage for the openmoko are not compatible
with current shr-u. Tomorrow i will try to contact someone from the
navit projects and say this so maybe we can find out where the problem
lies. Because i like to have the newest one and not the one from the
shr-u repository. :)

Are you sure its because gpsd?

SHR buildhost: unstable gta01 images gone?

2009-11-25 Thread Andy Poling
The http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta01 directory has
seemingly vanished.  The om-gta02 directory is still there.

Is this permanent?  That was my favorite place to get kernels.  :(

No, i was only saying, that (fso-)gpsd is working right because tangogps
also uses gpsd and it works.

I used the navit.xml from r2797 so this was not the problem. Right after
start in the console navit shows this gps.h incompatibility error mesage
befor it starts. So i think that the navit package from the navit
homepage are compiled with another version of some lib which is not
compatible with shr-u.

 The main questions will be will it need a binary only video driver for  
 acceleration and are other binary only drivers needed for the other  
 hardware. If this is the case, then it does not matter how smooth the  
 graphics are, because you will eventually end up being stuck with an  
 old and crufty kernel.

here's your dose of reality. you have no choice here - in fact samsung has no
choice. talk to imgtec. they are the ones keeping their driver closed. but...
your point on crufty kernel is wrong - becaus is not opense the kernel
components of their driver are open... but, in principle you're riight because
should there be an a.out - elf style userspace chnage or oabi - eabi - you'll
be stufffed too.

but - as i said. this is something not even the device makers can do anything
about. right now the modern soc's almost all use an imgtec 3d unit. the only
other possible competitor was a samsung 6410 3d unit. as of the s5pc110 that
has been replaced with an imgtec sgx540. so - it's all imgtec now.

... with the exception of some hot-off-the-press cortex-a9 soc's that use the
mali-400 - an soc from ARM and guess what! this is not open either.
right now there is no viable 3d accel unit option in production that is open
(the old 3d unit in the s3c6410 is deprecated, so... that makes it not viable).

and before you start - and say something like but samsung make the phones and
the soc's you need to realise - samsung != samsung. it's a conglomerate with a
parent holder, but the samsung that makes the cpu's - its a separate company
to the samsung that makes phones, or tv's hell.. there's a samung that makes
cars. they are separate companies, and thus are treated as such. samsung uses
not just samsung soc's - they have omap, pxa, msm and others. so look at
samsung like you see motorola or nokia or others. it's not a special case where
they get to design the soc that is in their products.

your beef is with the core licensors of 3d units. that's right now mostly
imgtec (sgx, mbx etc.) and new kid on the block - arm (mali). i suggest you try
and convince them to be open. and just whining won't do it. give them good
business reasons. money talks. (also remember most of them wouldn't even pick
up the phone for small orders of maybe 10,000 or 20,000 units. these guys will
begin to listen when you talk of millions of units).

   Thanks.  I think I'll look at adding this into the e17 WM.
  
  I have some code ready to share now.  What would be the best way to do
  that - bearing in mind that the aim is to facilitate contributions and
  new packages for the Freerunner?  If the E project is still interested
  in illume changes, I guess I could send changes there.  But if illume
  isn't of ongoing interest now, maybe some Debian or SHR repository
  would be better, or maybe I should set up a new repository somewhere?
  
  FWIW, as well as the discussed rotation support, I'd also like to
  - add a GPRS/PDP toggle to the GSM gadget
  - add a fast charge menu to the battery gadget
  - fix the battery gadget so that it it goes up to 100%.
  
  So I think there's a strong case for an ongoing FR-focussed e17/illume
  codebase.
 
 There's an illume2 project at enlightenment, perhaps a good spot for it?
 
 It has seen some action recently, perhaps thanks to Samsung's sponsoring?

who knows... but... contributions are welcome. like always - they may be
accepted ax-is or punted back to the contributor with fixme's or just patched
and fixed anyway... it depends on the content. :)
