openmoko-panel-plugin for current kernel and FSO
Hi, I revived the old openmoko-panel-plugin. The project is abandoned by its authors, but I decided to revive it, at least on my OpenMoko FreeRunner running Debian Sid. I dropped support for older kernels and old FSO implementation, because I have not enough resources to mantain them. At the moment consider it just a personal project, but you can find the souce, a tarball and the Debian package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmoko-panel/ I renamed the project openmoko-panel, the Debian package conflicts with openmoko-panel-plugin. I wish to thanks the developers which wrote the software and realeased it under a free license: xaos x, Sebastian Ohl and Christian Adams. Any feedback is apreciated. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy Tel. ufficio: 055-0118525 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: GTA02: Should I install fso-frameworkd, fso-deviced or both?
Thanks Rico for your answer, fso-frameworkd and fso-deviced both provide org.freesmartphone.odeviced interface but in fso-framworkd it's disabled by default. If I understand well the two interfaces are not identical, i.e. the battery info is available at different nodes. In one case it is: org.freesmartphone.odeviced \ /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/3 \ org.freesmartphone.Info.GetInfo in the other it is: org.freesmartphone.odeviced \ /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/battery \ org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerSupply.GetInfo Is one interface preferred/deprecated/obsolete or whatever respect the other? I don't understant the rationale of that duplication. Thanks again. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy Tel. ufficio: 055-0118525 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Debian sid, openmoko-panel-plugin: battery dbus broken and abnormal CPU usage
Hi to all, after a recent upgrade the battery icon on the openmoko-panel-plugin stopped to work. It seems that the dbus interface changed from: mdbus2 -s org.freesmartphone.odeviced \ /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/battery \ org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerSupply.GetInfo to this one: mdbus2 -s org.freesmartphone.odeviced \ /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/3 \ org.freesmartphone.Info.GetInfo Is it normal or something is messed with my dbus/fso settings? Also i see an high CPU usage by openmoko-panel-plugin and fsodeviced, but may be it is caused by the panel querying the wrong dbus interface. Here are the packages I installed: linux-image-2.6.34-openmoko-gta02 20101212.git049b71de-2 dbus 1.4.16-1 fso-config-gta02 20100210 fso-deviced 0.9.5+git20110805-1 fso-deviced-openmoko 0.9.5+git20110805-1 fso-frameworkd0.9.5.9+git20110512-2 fso-usaged0.9.5+git20110805-2 openmoko-panel-plugin 0.12-1 -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy Tel. ufficio: 055-0118525 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
GTA02: Should I install fso-frameworkd, fso-deviced or both?
Please help, I'm very confused! Can someone tell me what are the differences between fso-frameworkd and fso-deviced packages? What should I install on my GTA02 FreeRunner? It seems that the DBus interface changes running one or the other, but they let access the same hardware. Many thanks! P.S.

xserver-xorg uses 100% CPU with Debian wheezy/sid
Hi,
is someone else experiencing the same problem of mine?
When I start X everything seems fine, but as I touch the screen
the CPU usage by the X process, reaches 100%.
I'm running Debian wheezy/sid on the OpenMoko GTA02, with the
following packages:
linux-image-2.6.34-openmoko-gta02 20101212.git049b71de-2
libts-0.0-0 1.0-9
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.1.901-2
xserver-xorg-input-tslib 0.0.6-7+b1
xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-2+b2
udev 172-1
hal 0.5.14-7
X is starting on defaults, no xorg.conf file.
I tried also with any deamon stopped (the ones that I can stop),
starting just X or startx, using fbdev or glamo driver: no
changes.
I also tried to revert libts-0.0-0 to 1.0-7, but it seems NO the
same problem as Debian bugs #623095 or #623974.
As soon I touch the screen, X emits this warning:
selected device is not a touchscreen I understand
but the pointer is indeed woring.
If I strace X, I see this endless loop:
select(256, [1 3 4 5 7 9 11 12], NULL, NULL, {569, 897000}) = 1 (in [12], left
{569, 896900})
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [IO], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [IO], NULL, 8) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {1719, 218454002}) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {1719, 219599002}) = 0

This is a known issue I think. X is starting on defaults, no xorg.conf file. How did you install the system? install.sh creates an xorg.conf that does not use tslib. This is the origin of the problem: I installed from install.sh some months ago: several thigs went wrong and I had to manually adjust them. Following the notes by Nikolaus Schaller I wrote an xorg.conf which works nice, may be I will post it somewhere. Perhaps a note on Debian Wiki should be added too? -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy Tel. ufficio: 055-0118525 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GPSDproxy: send GPS data from gpsd to a remote server
Hi, I released a little software to proxy GPS data read from gpsd to a remote server. I use it to store my live track on a Postgres database (running on my home server) via GPRS connection. The software is hosted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdproxy/ This is the announce: This is the first release of GPSDproxy, a small program which reads GPS data from a running gpsd process (http://gpsd.berlios.de/) and forwards it to a remote server via an UDP connection. GPSDproxy is intended to be run on GPS enabled mobile devices. The main features are: * Very low traffic: can upload the position every 10 seconds, 24h/24h, 7days/week and consume less than 100Mb/month (telco-plan friendly). * Assume an unreliable connection, like GPRS mobile. Uses UDP protocol without TCP/IP retransmission overhead. No akwnoledgment from the server is required. Assumes that some data can be lost (future versions can implement some sort of aknowledge/retransmit). * Firewall friendly: mobile GPRS connections are often placed behind a NAT firewall, gpsdproxy works with just one outgoing UPD port. * Written in C for performance and small footprint. Included in this release there is the source code of a simple server (written in Python), which receives position data from several GPSDproxy clients and store it into a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

To reconnect, it closes the device then reopens it. With gsm0710muxd, when /dev/pts/N gets closed it is deallocated. Then, pppd is trying to reconnect to a device that doesn't exist. This is very interesting and disappointing :-( But I experienced a different problem, because I don't use gsm0710muxd, so the device should be always valid. What I noticed is that pppd release the lock file of the serial line, then it stays in a select loop, without retrying. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I use a car lighter adapter :-) i'm not sure that pppd is handling the autorecovery, though; i have a vague feeling it's the call handling between the calypso chip and the base station(s) I can pass from cell to cell through long highway tunnels and the GSM modem handles the connection recover transparently, pppd does not notice it. But if the pppd notice the failure (due LCP echo request timeout), it cannot recover. I had experience of PPP over DSL lines, where persist and holdoff parameters did the trick, but it seems that pppd on the FreeRunner has a bug. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GPRS unreliable: long lasting connection fail
Hello, I cannot get a reliable GPRS connection lasting for some hours, while driving. There is a problem with pppd, which does not restart the gprs connection when failed: it seems that pppd options persist and holdoff are not honored. I opened a bug ticket, which did not get reply: https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1955 I tried Om2007.2 and Om2008.12 without GPS multiplexing: I just stop gsmd (2007.2) or qpe (2008.12) before starting pppd and chat, but the problem is still there. - Can gsm0710muxd (GSM multiplexer) help in some way? - Does GPRS require pppd or are there different software solutions?
