Re: [QtExtended] Latest and greatest, progress mail 12

[Filip Onkelinx]

Hi Rene, Franky,

I've been using GRPS on QtE for several months without major issues. I  
remember I once had to create the device file /dev/ppp
On my current (old) QtE image, ls -l /dev/ppp gives me:

crw--- 1 root root 108,0  Jun 8 16:49 /dev/ppp

you might want to check if you have this device file, and if not try to  
create it with mknod. (you will probably need to add it to the startup  
script )

cheers,

Filip.

I never tried gprs myself (don't have an account), but you can always
look at the script in

/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/ppp-network

The pppd daemon seems to be launched by this script via using sudo. You
might want to check that the needed ppp modules are up and running.
Also check if the ppp packages are installed.

The dialup source is in src/plugins/network/dialing

Well, I found the first issue at least: the neogps app uses an old path
to power on the gps device.
I changed this now, but until a new build arrives, use this script
(compatible with 2.6.24 and >=2.6.28):
-
#!/bin/sh

if [ -e /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0 ]; then
  echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on
fi
# for older kernels
if [ -e /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron ];
then
  echo 1 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron
fi
--
Do an "echo 0" to power it down after usage.

Also, I've seen a bug report go by that tells me there's an issue with
gps and 2.6.28 kernels in that you can't reenable the gps after
unsuspend, so you might want to try without suspending as well.

Could well be!  I did have TangoGPS working with OM2009 TR4 too (using their 
supplied 2.6.29-rc2 kernel, which has the wrong filename, claims to be 
2.6.28!).

No worries, if there's anything I can do to help then please let me know!  I 
suppose it could also be a hardware issue on your phone too.. :-(

Hi Chris,

if this is true, then there's probably a kernel module issue in 2.6.28
with QtMoko.
This needs to be tested then.
But again: I never managed to get a fix with any distro, so I don't
think it will be possible for me to do testing at all, but when I get
back from holidays I'll try to spend some time on this issue.

Than, maybe, the GPS is connected to the kernel rather then to Qtmoko

I can confirm the Mapping Demo program works for me in QtMoko with the 
2.6.24mw-g291a9d50 kernel (uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin and

[Rene Horn]

I just tried out this version.  I'm still having issues with GPRS.  I'd like
to be able to fix the issue myself if I could, or at least point out a
possible fix.  I know it can work because it does under SHR-Unstable.

Where should I be looking for this?  Where is all the GPRS code located?
Where are the scripts?

I'll have to give this a try the next time I'm near an AP. Mine is 7000
miles away. It has decent range, but nothing approaching 7000 miles.

The kernel is 2.6.24.

if you use encrypted wifi, make sure you have the needed modules for
your kernel, that's beyond qtopia itself.
 
> Any pointers on how to start debugging this?

At first, make sure you have the following file present on your phone
(it should be automatically generated):
/home/root/Settings/Network/wireless/eth0
The content of that file should contain something like this for an
open network:

WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_ESSID="my_network_SID_name"
WIRELESS_AP=""
WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto'
WIRELESS_CHANNEL=''
WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH='128'
WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE=NONE
WIRELESS_WEP_PHRASE=""
WIRELESS_KEY_0=
WIRELESS_KEY_1=
WIRELESS_KEY_2=
WIRELESS_KEY_3=

Also the file /home/root/Settings/Network/eth0 should exist with the
content
MODE=dhcp

The script that initializes the wireless is
at /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/lan-network and creates a log
in /tmp/qtopia-network.log.
By default the usb0 interface on the phone gets disabled when you
connect the wireless, but if you comment out the line "ifdown usb0" in
the lan-network script, you can stay connected to your phone via pc-usb
while trying to connect to the wireless. When doing this, you can see
if the dhcp client runs or not ...

Also very important: what kernel are you using?

I've never gotten gps to work, no matter which distro I tried, so for
now, I accept this.

All right - you can disregard that. I wasn't patient enough and tried to
file a bug report before my email address was verified. Everything works

Well, WiFi certainly doesn't work for me. As I said, I tried two different
APs so far.

One of them didn't connect at all (that's my home AP, using WPA2.) The
other, an open network, wouldn't set the DNS server.

Any pointers on how to start debugging this?

At one point, GPS was working (with an older release of QTopia from
Trolltech.) What's the thinking on that?

Hi,

gps is known (some say it should work ...), but the wifi should work
just fine. I just tried it here again: first I emptied /etc/resolv.conf
(when connected via usb), removed the usb cable and tried connecting to
my wireless lan (not encrypted). This seemed to work just fine, just
make sure your wireless router gives you an ip and the correct DNS
server in the DHCP reply. Also, most wireless routers seem to be
confused when you try connecting a wireless client that had another IP
in the past, so sometimes you need to reboot the router (I hate it
when that happens, but it happens even with my laptop from time to
time).

Hi,

Where's the best place to report and discuss bugs in this (and other)
releases?

I'm seeing a few problems so far: GPS doesn't appear to work at all, and
when connecting to WiFi, the DNS server doesn't appear to be set at all.
Setting it manually in /etc/resolv.conf didn't seem to do anything when I
tried with two different access points.

well, I didn't develop the app, just made it work :-)
For now it seems the app is only one-way.
I'm hoping to be able to try out a new app that uses syncml, that would
make it easier to sync with other apps as well (and 2-way).

If you download avi from PC via the sharing option, then PC must have
installed mencoder. The first attempt to download avi starts mencoder
and next attempt after encoding is done downloads the avi.

On phone you need glamo version of mplayer - this should be handled
by installation scripts. If not then just delete /usr/bin/mplayer and
qmplayer will download and install correct mplayer from my homepage
when you attempt to play something.

So debug output can be seen when qmplayer is started from console.

Hope it helps :)

I used the "update" option. It worked as expected. After the script
was complete, and a reboot done, i was with the latest version.
Thanks for this release!

Don't use it, so I'm happy to see it disabled by default in the new image. :-)

Thanks again for all the work on this, my C++ is far worse than my C so I've 
found I'm not really able to contribute to this.. :-(

2.6.24? Hmmm ... qtmoko will work, but you'll probably get double sms's

O no, wait, I fixed those. Probably the issue will be that the system
will not unsuspend when receiving an sms, I believe that was kernel
related (modem). But there have been fixes in that area too, so you
might want to test some stuff:

- outgoing call

Thanks so much for all this work Franky, et. al!

One thing I've noticed (after playing around with the other distros) is that 
it seems like QtMoko takes a lot longer to resume from suspend than my older 
2.6.24 based QtEI I was running (though the other bug fixes more than make up 
for it!).

If I try the older kernel (uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin) will 
that break anything in the QtMoko image or install ?

cheers,
Chris

Ok well I tried again with exactly the same results... does your system have 
more disk? or are you 
using an sd card?

I monitored the disk usage while it was untarring and it did run out of disk 
space...

Just before it ran out...

qtmoko> scp qtmoko_install.sh om:

 > ssh om
 > sh ./qtmoko_install.sh install

Just a sanity check, after a clean installation I have 39Mb free after 
downloading a 23Mb file we 
have 16Mb left, then we try to de tar that compressed file which has to be over 
23mb, and of course 
we run out of disk space.

I am wondering why I am the only one with this problem?

I have an original gta02 which appears to have 65Mb of disk/flash

Yes I know that, but this was a clean install from the images I downloaded with 
no extra stuff 
installed, I couldn't install anything as only the kernel was running anyway.

Have you tried the full install? The problem looks to me like having the tar 
file on the device uses 
too much room and you cannot de-tar it. I got around it by piping the tar over 
ssh.

Well, anything is possible given the right amount of time and developers.

The translation of

! IMO it's not a big deal for most users to have the interface in english, but
the dictionary is more important.
Anyway, by copying the french file over the en_US ones, it works (it's just a

if this happens, it doesn't mean "out of memory", but out of disk
space, which means you have many things installed that are not
required. Probably you're using another kernel/rootfs and extra stuff.
Simple action: clean up ...

Currently there is no way to do this, other than installing a new

There is, but it is rather difficult. (during a call) Settings->Call 
Options->Call Volume. But it doesn't currently remember this setting.

FYI...

I followed the instructions, and ran the script from ssh using the install 
option and it runs out of 
memory...

lib/fonts/dejavu_sans_condensed_36_75.qpf2
lib/fonts/dejavu_sans_condensed_10_50.qpf2
lib/fonts/dejavu_sans_condensed_21_75.qpf2
tar: write error: No space left on device

I'll do the install manually for now.

Thanks for your work on this.

well, there exists a patch for this, I need to take a look at it ...
for now, just boost the volume in the settings

since you do this manually: you need to install the atd package, that's
responsible for waking up the phone ... see the install script for this.
O btw: I again disabled deep sleep, it is now again normal "sleep" :-)

Thank you Goffi :)
About the BT: is all commented because qtmoko does not support bluez4

Re: [QtExtended] Latest and greatest, progress mail 12

[Goffi]

Thank you for all the great work ! I compile your git branch regularly and it 
works very well, it's my main distro for daily telephony (I keep an eye on 
OM2009 too ;) ).

I have some questions/remarks:

- I didn't found any option for sms delivery receipt, will QTEi have this 
option in the future ? It would be really handy :)

- There is a french dictionary in the sources, but not activable during the 
configure (only en_US is available). I cheat by copying french dict on en_US 
files, but an option for other languages would be greatly appreciated (phone 
key are IMHO unusable with a foreigner dictionary).
It would be very perfect to have the choice of the dict language when we use 
phone keys.

- I my knowledge, it is not possible to change the volume during a call, it 
would be nice to add a slider.
I found the sound a little weak in the speaker, it's difficult to hear somebody 
in a noisy environment, is it possible to do a software boost ? I have already 
put 127 in control 4 of  /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state, but 
it's not enough.

- The alarm don't seem to awake the phone in deep sleep (need some tests: I 
will try again and fill a bug report)

- sometime when I look into my sim's contacts, there is nothing (but 
everything is ok most of time)

- I have followed manually the instructions of the script when I have 
installed my own compiled QTEi version, but for the bluetooth everything is 
commented, and I can't install anything related to bluetooth with opkg ("opkg 
search bluetooth" give nothing, "opkg install bluez-audio" says there is not 
package of this name), so my BT is not working :( .
It's not a big deal since I have usb cable, but I'd like to save my contacts, 
and sending vcards via BT is a solution.

Anyway everything is very usable, again thanks to you and the other devs for 
all the work.
I have no time for the moment, but I'd like to install a dev environment to 
give some help in the future :).

Cheers,
Goffi
