Hello Roberto,
I seem to have a similar issue. In my case my FR does not read SD cards,
and give the same error messages as above until the kernel simply disables
and removes the mmcblk0 device. I seem to remember that at some point
between the v.5 and v.6 hardware, a small resistor was put on to some legs
of the SIM or uSD card reader connections (you should be able to see one
on yours). I have a suspicion that this is what has gone wrong on your FR
as well as mine. Unfortunately this is simply a wild guess from my part, I
do not have the kit or expertise to test this.

yes, i have the resistor. is there anything to do about this?nbsp; 
and, btw, how can i know which version i have? under the battery i don't find useful info..

  hello list. I wrote this little script taking inspiration from the

 Nice work!

 Presumably it only catches those that binaries are directly dependent
 on. If there are any that only other libraries are dependent upon,
 they won't be caught.

Re: touchpad on OM

2009-07-22 Thread roby
i find this a very good idea, without the right click there are tons of
applications which just cannot be used!

On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 10:30 AM, Michal Brzozowski ruso...@poczta.fmwrote:

 Hi,

 I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried this. I thought it would be handy to
 have a mouse pointer on the phone, driven by a touchpad area in the lower
 part of the screen. To click you just hit an appropriate button. This way
 you can do left click, right click, and any other mouse buttons you want. It
 should be useful for apps unsuited for finger use.

 Here's a graphical explanation:

 su $username -c /program/binary
 does the job, basically. Just that su requires you to enter a password on
 the command line. I don't know about another way though...


if you are root you don't need the password to su as a normal user.
the problem is that if you don't set up a password for the root user this
method is useless because one could in some way run a script from the
browser taking the root privileges.

a false security is worst than no security!

 It's on purpose and it's damn right. Search the archives. If you want
 some kind of interface renaming for whatever reason, write an
 appropriate udev rule.


Everybody saying that it's right, but nobody explaining how to use it..
the problem is that it's not so simple to write an udev interface renaming
rule because i don't know which interface udev will assign to the neo.. for
example when i connect it i get eth1, suddenly renamed to eth7 by udev, but
am i sure it will always get eth7?
The page http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking explain how to setup
nat and routing, but all the examples use usb0. The problem is that each
different udev installation will assign a possibly different interface name
to the neo, so what should one do? setup nat and routing for all the
interfaces being attached? seems strange.. I just would like to see an
example, because it's not clear to me, and i think for many like me..

Regarding epdfview you should find a package on www.opkg.org with the
finger-scroll feature added. With that feature you can even hide the toolbar
and just use the finger to navigate. You will still need a way to exit the
full-screen view though.

I say this because the mokomakefile gave me so much frustration when i
tried to use it that i stopped to try for some months, waiting for a
better world :)
In my experience the mokomakefile continuously get incompatible
updates from upstream, and the probability of success of a complete
build is really low (in my case 0%). Anyway, i am talking of the
situation of september-october, so things may have changed.
But when i tried to download and build shr-testing i found the heaven!
Everything builds because the packet versions are fixed. In that
environment you can easily make a port or try to write some new code,
without falling in frustration.

Re: Apple is going to beat all competitors

2007-09-07 Thread roby
In my opinion software can make the difference.. I think openmoko should go
in the direction of providing things not possible in a closed phone.. And
hardware upgradability (possibility to change processor, or to add memory)
would mean that the initial investment can be compensated with the longevity
of the phone..
