Re: python-ctypes and binutils
Hi Gunnar, I'm not sure if this will answer your question or not, but it sounds like you are looking for the following package: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=binutils-symlinks which will create symlinks to the weird named binaries. Cheers, Andrew Gunnar Aastrand Grimnes wrote: Hi all, Not sure where to send this - perhaps a more development oriented list? Anyway, the issue is about python-ctypes, the library for easy access to shared libraries from python. This includes a utility class for finding the REAL name of a library, i.e. getting from GL to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 This code is found here: /usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/util.py (assuming python-ctypes is installed) Now this relies in turn on several external tools for finding the library (see [1]), in particular ldconfig, gcc and objdump. Now ldconfig we have by default, gcc we do not want to install and objdump is in the binutils package. Now the binutils package only includes weird named binaries for objdump, i.e. /usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-objdump - and this is not found by ctypes... How do we fix this? Can binutils not ship with a /usr/bin/objdump symlinked to /usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-objdump? A semi-related question : Say I've written a new .bb file for python-opengl. How can I most easily get this put into openembedded?

Re: fennec -force-depends doesn't help
Hi Leonti, To get this to work, you will need to do a: opkg install gtk+ -force-overwrite Depending on the distro that you are using, you may experience some glitching in graphics after the install. I have installed fennec before and it is unbearably slow but there may have been updates recently that improve performance. Cheers, Andrew Leonti Bielski wrote: Hi! I'm trying to install fennec on my beloved Neo.

Re: [FSO] Stability and other problems
Hi Christoph, You could try the Option 2 instructions found on the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_/_Qt_Extended_on_FreeRunner and see if that works. If it does, other users could benefit if you update the wiki to reflect any changes to the procedure you had to make.

Because of the software status I just played around with different distros but didn't use it as a phone. This weekend my old phone went out of battery and didn't start anymore (yes.. this also happens to non-freerunners ;) ) So i decided to cange my simcard and put it into the freerunner. I flased it with yesterdays FSO (09-11-08). First impression was good, zone started, I entered my pin and registered to Interkom (O2 Germany) I was able to receive and make test-calls. But now.. after one day of usage.. I've got a lot of small problems. The most important for now: - I can suspend by pressing the power button, but when i resume with the power-Button, zhone displays its graphical suspend-feedbeck step1. I have to press power another few seconds to get rid of this. - The phone wakes up on incoming calls, but: zhone displays this feedback-thing again. The phone keeps ringing, but it doesn't react on the power button to get rid of the feedback-thing, and it doesn't react on touchscreen-presses to answer the call. - I can't send the phone to suspend-state if I want to be able to receive calls. - I send it to suspend yesterday evening. When I woke up today morning, the phone was on, I had a enlightmend crash-message and I wasn't connected to O2 anymore. When I clicked on recover enlightment keeped crashing, I had to poweroff and restart my freerunner. - Today I got some incoming calls.. at leased one of them was almost unable to understand me because of the echo The echo might be because of some unusable alsa states.. the phone sounds like with the hands-free option turned on, everyone in the same room can listen to the call. How can I change this? Are there any patches / workarounds for the other problems?

Re: Flashing Om2008.8 rootfs under Windows is *LONG*
Hi Abdel, Actually, the patch is what is compiled into the 0.1+svn beta version of dfu-util for Win32 on projects.openmoko.org. I'm assuming that that is the version that everyone here is using? I also am using WinXP SP2 as Benedikt Schindler on these replies is using as well. For the others who experience long flash times on Windows XP, are you also using SP2? I am using Intel Core2 6420 @ 2.13GHz with 3GB of RAM, and USB 2.0 controller. I guess the other question is, who else can flash rootfs in under 20 minutes using dfu-util for Win32? What are your configurations (version of Windows (including Service Pack), type of processor, amount of RAM, USB controller version)? Hopefully we can find a commonality among those that experience the long flash times and among those that do not.

I'll try your patch if I manage to install a mingw environment.

You haven't even tried backing it up. Try and see how long *that*

They say it is much, much better with the Linux port of DFU-util (or
rather, something is very very wrong with the Windows port).

I use Vista on my day-to-day working computer. With the FreeRunner it's
faster to boot to an Ubuntu live CD and work on the FreeRunner and
reboot in Vista for my regular work. I can flash the device a couple of
times and experiment with QTopia and OM 2008.8 in the time is would take
me to just flash the rootfs for either of those. I think the dfu for
windows would benefit from some work. I tried running Ubunto in a VMWare
virtual machine but couldn't get a good connection to the FreeRunner.

Connecting your computer to the Internet through your FreeRunner!
Hi all, I documented the steps to connect your computer to the internet through the FreeRunner's GPRS connection. You can find the instructions here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_GPRS#Sharing_the_GPRS_connection_with_a_computer Hopefully someone can pick it up and make it easier for the average person to do!
