[QTMoko] Debian packages for v19 (was: apt sources latest qtmoko)
On Thursday 01 April 2010 15:01:36 alfa21 wrote: > why in apt sources i can only find v15? > is qtmoko.meurisse.org the right one to use in debian? The simple reason is that I've been quite busy lately and never found the time to update it. Moreover, as the version on my phone is working quite well, and as my neo became my primary phone, I feel less like messing with my phone. The other reason is that the script to build the packages is really a peace of crap. It's only unziping the binary archive to repackage it in a debian package. I tried to make proper debian package from source but I never got it working. I created the package for the v19 but I have absolutely no time to test it before the WE. I hope it will not break your phone. Don't forget to backup your data before updating. The url for testing is . Any feedback (good or bad) would be appreciated. I will test the update myself over the WE and move the packages to if everything is fine. PS: I will be more than happy to see qtmoko in the standard debian tree.

[QtMoko] Deb package are available
I made some debian package for QtMoko. They contain the v14 (plus a fix for bug #58). These package are only installable on a working QtMoko system (not on a plain debian). I only tested them on my phone. So make backup before trying anything :). They should be installable at least on a v13 or v14 system (for older version, I have no idea so test and report) to install, edit file /etc/apt/sources.list and add : "deb http://qtmoko.meurisse.org /" (without the quotes.) (you can also add "deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free" while editing) then ssh to you phone and type : #apt-get update #apt-get install qtmoko If you installed qtmoko on Nand, also install qtmoko-kernel-nand #apt-get install qtmoko-kernel-nand then reboot and admire (or watch you phone burning) don't forget to report any issue (and fix if you know it) -- Vincent Meurisse ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It seem that the switch to dash killed the logging capacity of my phone :( I tried with the init file in the mail.

As my old phone is now dead, I started using my freeruner as main phone. Before saying anything else, QtMoko is for now my favorite distro. But we never discuss about the good points. So here are the remaining issues (from must to least annoying): - Bad sound quality. I got complain until I switched to <http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/attachment/ticket/2121/gsmhandset.state.new>. With this, the speaker is still too low but at least the other person can hear me. - about the first second of conversation is cut. This is very annoying. - When registering multiple numbers for a contact, some are not callable (like "mobile" and "other"). The phone show a list of numbers without them. - My provider (orange in France) use service request (#123#) to give me the remaining credit. Unfortunately qtmoko only display the first line of the answer (which btw doesn't contain any usefull information). Moreover it's not possible to respond to it. - Phone doesn't re-register to GSM network (like after leaving airplane mode or after network error) - Alarm are not working (I get them after reboot) - "Restart Qt Extended" doesn't work (I get stuck in the console with the blinking cursor) - Boot time is still too long (2'40 to first picture, 3'10 to PIN screen) - QtExtended theme is not readable under the sun. A theme with more contrast would be apreciated - I find v9 more crashy than other version (5 crashes in 2 days). Maybe it's due to a more intense usage. - A nice boot logo would be nicer than console messages for 2 minutes A real bugtracker would be a good idea. The current one seems unloved (only 6 bugs, none of them ever receive an update). When reporting a bug, it's not possible to enter the image version (like v9). It would be also great if the qtmoko version where accessible from the information application on the phone. -- Vincent Meurisse ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

That's why I included multiple choices in my mail. I could have say "Use linux and kmail. This is the best combination in the world"(Which I believe but as you say everyone is free). During the past 20 days, there where 1700 messages under more than 200 different subjects. I truly believe that it is impossible to read that without a decent client.

For both case, I think touchscreen can be a problem. I've never seen a touchscreen interface to Rockbox.

Don't even THINK of using "based on Linux Kernel 2.6.xx" or "With > powerful ssh acess" Calling it "the free(d) phone" to consumers (as opposed to developers) is going to engender an enormous amount of confusion and ill-will. Why? Because (at least in North America) the major carriers have spent years, and billions of dollars, totally subverting the meaning of the phrase "free phone" to mean "we give you the cheapest phone we can find and don't charge you for this piece of junk when you lock into a two- or three-year plan at some exorbitant rate that obviously includes the cost of the phone amortized." Seriously, ask consumers what a "free phone" means. at least 11 out of 10 will give you the definition above, at least the parts they understand. A consumer ad campaign is NOT the place to push the "free as in beer vs free as in speech" argument. The phrase "free phone" already means the opposite of what we want it to mean. It's done, finished, over. Move on. Call it something else in the consumer market. The Flexible Phone. The Does-what-you-want-not-what the big corporations want. I don't know. The "you're in control-phone"? :P Anyway, it would be weird calling it *the* free phone anyway, as I assume the Neo won't be the only OpenMoko-powered phone. -- Vincent ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

In reading this thread, the tone appears to be the opposite: people are hoping that OM et al can benefit from Ubuntu's efforts, not the othe way around. Certainly collaboration and help will be going in both directions, so I'll be happy either way it goes since it will be both. Joe ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community I just read this: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2403415870.html Contrary to widespread rumors, Ubuntu Mobile will not target mobile phones. Instead, the "mobile and embedded" version of the popular desktop Linux distribution will be developed in partnership with Intel, and will target "mobile Internet devices" (MIDs), along the lines of Nokia's N800 web tablet. -- Vincent ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

But GMAE project (which you talk about) was created by companies which already work in embedded world - for example OpenedHand (which work on most of OpenMoko framework). Isn't that even better? Ubuntu mostly works closely with Gnome, so if GMAE was created by companies which already work in the embedded world then Ubuntu can profit from that experience. -- JID: hrw-jabber.org OpenEmbedded developer/consultant I'm not being rude, you are being insignificant. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- Vincent ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Can someone from one of those projects comment please? They just announced it. Debian guys are trying to make something embedded for long time (Embedian project) and nearly nothing yet. First let they provide informations what they want to reach and how. I am a bit tired of all those 'big distro starts project for embedded' because many times it end in 'it is like normal device but has only 100MB of storage'. And then they got hit by devices which lack keyboard or have only touchscreen + keypad or no input at all.. or have 8MB flash and 32MB RAM.. Perhaps this one will be more successful as the Gnome project, too, had announced some efforts on the mobile and embedded area. -- JID: hrw-jabber.org OpenEmbedded developer/consultant Monday is a hard way to spend one-seventh of your life. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- Vincent ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
