Re: [qtmoko] New significant speedups coming to FreeRunner

2010-02-13 Thread ghislain

I think the slowness of the graphics can be explained by not having the
kernel-modules installed. The kernel-modules are contained in the rootfs.img
as part of the total distribution.

How can kernel modules affect graphics performance?

hi,

shr is considering using Ventura as default browser, which is cool.
carefully considering, here is a list of what imho should be added/fixed
before it can happen:


- be able to handle downloads (start external wget process?) or allow
  copy of the link into clipboard
- preconfigured to handle https
- fix combo selection widget (IIRC edje theming issue)

and low on the list:
- disable content selection or at least ideally make it configurable (it
  makes finger scrolling working real slow if you select an image)

Kind Regards

Petr

Maybe because some of the necessary modules can't be loaded now.
I use this kernel on QtMoko and graphics are very fast, this was the only
reason I could think of.

- add support for user/pass protected pages. Navigating to an Apache
with .htaccess configured for username and password protection yields a
help page telling you your browser does not implement this mechanism. :(

[ANNOUNCE] qi-bootmenu-0.1 for GTA02

2010-02-13 Thread Marc Andre Tanner
Hi,

I finally found the time to package up my current state of things which
works ok here at least for GTA02. Kernel + Qi can be downloaded from:

 http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/qi-bootmenu/

It would be nice if the various distros out there could place their 
kernels in /boot/uImage-$MACHINE.bin where $MACHINE is either GTA01
or GTA02. This makes sure that they will be detected by qi-bootmenu.
You can optionally also place a logo in /boot/bootlogo.png which 
will be displayed along the partition name.

As for GTA01 support I'm playing around with a 2.6.32 based kernel
but with the initramfs embedded the result is to big ~2.4M. So we 
need to shrink it by 400K to fit into the kernel partition. Not yet
sure how this should be done without either losing features (usb 
network access for example) or repartitioning NAND (dropping the
uboot splash screen partition) but I personally don't want to take
the latter route, so we will see...

Thanks,
Marc

Installed OK, now I'm trying to use it (well, actually I installed the
64-bit deb on my desktop to run the map making faster..)

http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1

Do I get correctly that I first download
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe.osm.bz2 (2.9G)
to be able to run
osm2mcmap -bt 0 -bo boundary.mcb map.osm
to create the boundary data.

Then I download
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/finland.osm.bz2 (67M)
to create the map:
osm2mcmap -bi boundary.mcb -mo map.mcm map.osm

Let's see if my 2G of mem +2G of swap is enough :)

4.5 hours to go to download europe.osm.bz2..

Extremely cool!

So, for flashing, when my NAND looks like this:
 neo:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev:size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 0020 0001 "physmap-flash.0"
mtd1: 0004 0002 "qi"
mtd2: 0004 0002 "depr-ub-env"
mtd3: 0080 0002 "kernel"
mtd4: 000a 0002 "depr"
mtd5: 0004 0002 "identity-ext2"
mtd6: 0f6a 0002 "rootfs"

I should flash the bootloader to the partition named "qi" right? Like:
dfu-util -a qi -R -D qi-s3c2442-bootmenu-0.1.udfu
and the kernel like so: dfu-util -a kernel -R -D
uImage-GTA02-bootmenu-0.1.bin
Is this correct?

Seems QtMoko is already doing this:
neo:~# ls -l /boot
total 1818
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1852364 Oct  2 21:28 uImage-GTA02.bin

Sounds to me like a missing or not working kernel module - but I'm
totally guessing.  Have you also asked on the shr-users mailing list?

2010-02-13 Thread jeremy jozwik
hello list, after some shr-u strangeness i attempter an opkg upgrade.
that failed so i was forced to re-flash. i did so with the latest
20100212 file. but now, it seems i no longer have any contacts.

ive looked around in the pim settings for contacts and noticed there
are 3 entries. ive tried setting all of them to default but still no
contacts in the contacts list. there were many before.

any one have a guiding light for this issue?

  An external wget process makes sense. I'll try that. Does the /home/root/
directory work - or should I create a Downloads directory (under /home/root)
and download the files there?

  Hmm, I could add the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt to the ipk for
now. What do you think?

  That would need edje experience way beyond what I have right now. Maybe
someone (Jesus McCloud) could help with this?
  I'm still struggling with the edje file for launcher.

  Thats because efl-wbkit doesn't yet allow accessing webkit settings. Same
problem for turning off images. I'll try working around that.

Sorry for butting in and changing the subject here but I think it is really bad 
for security that the whole openmoko userland, including web browsers, runs as 
root. I think it would be a good idea to consider running web browsers as a 
different user, possibly by launching them with su -c
