Re: Best thing to run on Freerunner and Neo1973 machines today?
Daniel, Can you detail further how you got this GPS position thing working? What client/server did you use?

[2008.* | Qtopia and whatever else uses Qtopia PIM] Sqlite DB speed trick
Saw this on reddit the other day and thought it might help [1]. sqlite3 has a vacuum command which does a few nifty things to compact your database [2] in which the example shows you can do it to your firefox 3 sqlite db files to increase performance (in things like the awesome bar etc). I thought I might try this on my phone as I know the qtopia PIM suite uses sqlite3. So to do this on 2008.* (and assuming this works on Qtopia distro): 0. make sure you have sqlite3 and lsof installed opkg install sqlite3 lsof 1. check your file sizes for comparison: ls -l ~/Applications/qtmail/qtopia_db.sqlite ls -l ~/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite 2. stop your xserver to remove the lock on the db files: /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop 3. check to make sure nothing is using the files lsof ~/Applications/qtmail/qtopia_db.sqlite lsof ~/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite 4. Compact sqlite3 ~/Applications/qtmail/qtopia_db.sqlite sqlite3 ~/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite 5. Restart X /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm start 6. Check file sizes again ls -l ~/Applications/qtmail/qtopia_db.sqlite ls -l ~/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite 7. ??? 8. Profit! This reduced my filesize from 195584 to 97280 for my qtmail/qtopia_db.sqlite file. I can't work out how to test performance other than experientially because of my lack of knowledge of qtopia debugging. Hopefully this means less files to load in memory which should equate to slightly quicker performance. It certainly worked for my firefox. Do at your own risk! Although I'm sure that sqlite's own locking mechanisms will stop you from nuking your db files. Good luck! And let me know of your success (definitely not failure)! :P -Nick Refs 1.http://www.gettingclever.com/2008/06/vacuum-your-firefox-3.html 2. http://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: New home for the New FDOM
A screen should show up. It won't if your accelerometers aren't working. To check this run: hexdump /dev/input/event2 which should give you output from the accelerometer that openmoocow uses. If you're using FDOM try replacing neod with a different copy to see if that solves it. Some people have reported accelerometers starting only once every few boots so try rebooting. Here's a neod that works for me: cd /tmp wget http://westhoffswelt.de/data/blog/moko_eightball/neod cp neod /usr/bin/neod chmod u+x /usr/bin/neod Happy mooing! -Nick On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 9:49 AM, Jonathan Schultz [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: I believe it is a combination of inestability of accelerometers and sound if any of those elementes doesn't work mookow, still silent on even it doesn't open at all, it uses to work with the Neo just rebooted. as experiment you can execute the Moocow throug terminal and if no detect any sound device it will log the moos in the terminal.

Re: Fdom speed (was Re: New home for the New FDOM)
Denis is right. It's trying to do a reverse DNS lookup. This plauges all incorrectly configured linux distros. At least every so often on any one I use. Gestures daemon does use a bit but only 5% I believe. Just check with top. I turn it off anyway as I don't use it at the moment: update-rc.d -f gesd-neo2 remove I think... -Nick On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 5:18 AM, Leonti Bielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think something is lowing down FDOM, maybe this is gestures daemon (someone at some point said it eats a lot of CPU power)? And another thing - it takes years to login via ssh to Freerunner with FDOM. With other distributions I just enter 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]', press Enter and immediately press Enter when it asks for password. But with FDOM I actually have to wait till it gives me password promt. This happens not only with the lates distribution but with all FDOM I tried.

Re: led blinking during suspend?
Marcel, Andy has already spoken of this. The second CPU is called a PMU and would be troublesome with user-access, in that the user would have access to upgrade the PMU and consequently be able to brick it. Difficult in an open scenario such as the Freerunner I guess. -Nick On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 5:30 AM, Marcel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Am Monday 27 October 2008 20:14:29 schrieb Richy: As far as I understood, you should be able to have the LEDs _on_ even during suspend.

Re: Value of headsets and pouches for 10 pack orders?
Hi Aus people, Neil: the info I got was referred to me by another Brisbane guy who pointed me to the Buying over the internet page [1] which is where I got the 5% from (check the table down the bottom). Dennis: I did the UPS one and it came to around $170 which is drastically different from $70 so maybe I did something wrong there. Nice work interrogating Customs btw ;) In summary, I'm clueless as to a definitive answer.

Looking at the different tariff classes in http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4273 The openmoko could only possibly fall in section 16 and chapter 85. Of those the closest fit seems to be item 8517. (See http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/tariff/chapter85notes.pdf ) According to http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/tariff/chapter85goods_b.pdf there are several subclasses of 8517, but the closest seems to be 8517.12.00 - Telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks which is Free of import duty. However I couldn't find Computer or PDA in Chapter 85, so maybe I'm missing something. But the above suggests that if the package is marked that it contains Cellular Telephony Devices (sounds more impressive than 'mobile phones') they should be customs-free ???
