[FSO] First steps
I just installed FSO and I'm quite happy with it : it seems the most reponsive distribution I have yet used. I still have some questions : Addressbook : Is there a way to import a former qtopia sqlite file ? I read some discussions inconclusive about it, is there some advances ? Calendar : openmoko-calendar2 isn't available in repositories. What can I use ? I GPS : do I need to click the map icon in zhone to powerup the antenna and use it with tangogps ? What are the three upper buttons supposed to do in the Zone gps application ? The first one displays latitude/longitude... (right now it displays N/A but I'm inside...) The second and third one open some window with obviously resolution and colors issues. Power Management settings: The settings from the wrench menu in illume don't seem to have any effect : the phone dims + blanks + locks after a minute or so even I set the blank time to off and doesn't suspend even though the suspend time after blank is 1s. Suspend : according to the wiki, you need to press the power button for 2 s to suspend the phone. It doesn't work for me, just powers it off after 7-8 s. Sound : What's the best way to adjust the sound level ? I guess there's still no GUI for that. I've tried playing with several .state files during my first tries with other distributions but things change fast on this topic : what is the control to adjust ? Several applications from the Home menu (terminal, Htop for instance) won't start. I'm running : fso-image-om-gta02.jffs2 uImage-2.6.24+r8 +gitr968c41d0c32099d78927849a71e2ef3143cc05e7-r8-om-gta02.bin modules-2.6.24+r8 +gitr968c41d0c32099d78927849a71e2ef3143cc05e7-r8-om-gta02.tgz ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I pushed the button and nothing happened, then I tried to push it again, but before I did, it actually started suspending (got into text mode, some lines started pass by). So the second press obviously interrupted normal suspend routine and put FR into unusable state. Only removing battery helps. I can reproduce it. But if I press power button once and wait for it to suspend properly, next short press wakes it up reliably. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/-FSO--First-steps-tp1519607p1520711.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

You can just fire up Tango and frameworkd will activate the GPS for it. The other two tabs in zhone (from memory - I'm running SHR right now) are: an itemized list of satellites it's seeing, and a polar graph on which it plots satellites. (so at the start they're blank and a dartboard, respectively) > Power Management settings: The settings from the wrench menu in illume > don't seem to have any effect : the phone dims + blanks + locks after a > minute or so even I set the blank time to off and doesn't suspend even > though the suspend time after blank is 1s.

You can try changing /usr/share/applications/htop.desktop to exec "openmoko-terminal2 htop", or install xterm and exec "xterm -e htop". (I've done the latter) What else isn't starting? > I'm running : > fso-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Just a note - at different times, the file above may in fact be different images. Today, it's the image from November 14th, for instance, but if a new image were posted tomorrow it'd probably be a copy of tomorrow's image. So try to note the date (if you used wget to download it probably preserved the date) or pick out the newest of the 'long-named' images for download. (It could also be from unstable vis testing, named the same) The files below are both from October 5th, you might want the newest ones, from November 7th. (this might fix your suspend) j > uImage-2.6.24+r8 > +gitr968c41d0c32099d78927849a71e2ef3143cc05e7-r8-om-gta02.bin > modules-2.6.24+r8 > +gitr968c41d0c32099d78927849a71e2ef3143cc05e7-r8-om-gta02.tgz > ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

A PIM interface is on the roadmap for FSO, but I don't know if work has started yet. It is likely to use an existing PIM dbus API, possibly with extensions if required. Evolution Data Server and Akonadi spring to mind as contenders. Telepathy may have a place too, though its VoIP capabilities overlap somewhat with the call control interface we already have. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

You need to copy your qtopia_db.sqlite from /home/root/Applications/Qtopia/ to /home/root (or change the path in the diff). Hope it helps.

Re: [FSO] First steps
i checked again and it works (you get both sim and address book contacts but you can only add/edit/delete sim contacts). uncomment the line that says combined = res + result.
