I installed the Bora SDK with the installer script.  I have also
installed the proprietary Nokia binaries with apt-get install
maemo-explicit.  I have both App Manager and Contacts in my task
navigator.Both in SDK_X86 and in SDK_ARMEL targets.

Xi Chen is not alone with this one, I guess :) I have the same issue as 
well, although i don't have a pecific problem with it anyway since I am 
scripting away mostly with python and using ssh..No need for them in my 
case.


But anyway, it would be nice to know how to get them working? I am using 
Scirocco and installed it with the installer script from 
maemo.org..everything else worked out just fine with it. Somebody knows?

Problem with Maemo Development VMware appliance

[Acadia Secure Networks]

All,

I am pleased to report that the Maemo Development VMware appliance 
installed very easily on my Windows XP SP2 system running VMware Player. 
Thanks to all who worked to make that resource available. I 
installed/enabled SAMBA to make it easier to share files with the XP 
host and the Ubuntu guest OS.


Following the instructions in the readme.text I went to update both the 
X86 and the ARMEL target environments but the updates did not seem to 
take. Below is the text from the terminal window indicating what did and 
did not happen.  As you can see it indicates that


"8 not upgraded".

Does this mean that I already have the latest versions of these packages 
already installed, or is there some other explanation?



Any help on this will be much appreciated:

Python libosso bindings and ICd not working

[Erik Walthinsen]

I've got a control panel app that must have a constant network connection in 
order to function (button press -> UDP packet).  For the moment I've faked 
up a wrapper script that uses a preload'd ping, but it's very lame and 
doesn't work consistently, which is not good in this situation.


I'm trying to use the libosso bindings to connect, and eventually listen to 
status_changed so I can reconnect and reinitialize my network sockets.  It's 
not even coming close to working ;-(


Figuring the bindings would be better, I started by grabbing the latest 
pymaemo2.5.  Then I tried the following script:


=
#!/usr/bin/env python

import osso
import gtk

osso_c = osso.Context("icconnect", "0.0.1", False)
osso_rpc = osso.Rpc(osso_c)
try:
  retval = osso_rpc.rpc_run(
"com.nokia.icd",
"/com/nokia/icd",
"com.nokia.icd",
"connect",
("omegacs.net",0),
True,
True)
except Exception, inst:
  print "failed with exception "+repr(inst)
else:
  print "retval is %s" % retval
=

I get the following error:

failed with exception SystemError('error return without exception set',)

AFAICT this is an internal Python error that means the bindings have a bug.

OTOH, calling "disconnect" with ("omegacs.net",) returns with "omegacs.net" 
and no error, but does nothing.


This is rather critical to my application, and any other potential Python 
program, so I would appreciate hints as to either what I'm doing wrong, or 
what in pymaemo needs to be worked on so it can function.


As a side note, I tried to use the DBus bindings directly, which also failed 
miserably.  I was told that Maemo's DBus doesn't support introspection, yet 
the python bindings will not function without introspection, making the 
bindings completely worthless.  Is this really true?


TIA,
   Omega

Check /scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf (rather than
/scratchbox/users/$USER/etc/resolv.conf).

Check /scratchbox/etc/nsswitch.conf as well.  If the hosts line mentions
mdns, change it to just "hosts: files dns".

Maemo development Appliance

[Amy Sockanathan]

Hi,
  I am getting the following error during an apt-get update in the
maemo appliance scratchbox "
Err http://repository.maemo.org bora/free Packages
  Temporary failure resolving 'repository.maemo.org'
"
I have made changes to the resolv.conf file to match what is in the
resolv.conf outside the scratchbox but it doesn't seem to work. Any
suggestions to resolve this issue.

Thanks

Re: gstreamer's playbin

[Stefan Kost]

Hi,

there is a reason playbin is not shipped by default. It does not work with the
dsp elements (e.g. dspmp3sink) except dsppcmsink. We'Re working with the
GStreamer community on a solution for the future.

Pretty easy to do with the Wireless Extensions API for Linux. Do some
Google searching on WE and libiw.

Nokia also has some documentation for their official API here:
http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_connectivity_guide_bora.html

It may be possible using that, and if it is it's likely preferable that
you use that.

Mentoring takes a lot more time than you'd think; if you want to get
somewhere, you really need to be able to put a fair bit of time into
mentoring, as X.Org discovered last year.

Re: Maemo at Google's Summer of Code 2007?

[Zeeshan Ali]

Hello!



to tell you the truth I'm already writing such gadget (and I hope finish
it soon). If you want we could exchange some ideas.


  Cool! Sure thing! Lets see if some student is ready to take-up this
project , wether as an SoC project or not. As I said, I hardly get
time to work on my existing projects so I will only volunteer for
mentoring of this project.


To do all this you don't have to look into v4l2 driver, you have just to
learn how to write a simple v4l2 app. I mean open /dev/video0 and talk
v4l2 API and translate it to UVC.


 Ah ok! so you are having a user-space app AND a gabget driver. In
that case, you obviously wont need to look into the v4l2 driver
sources at all.

One more thing from where I can download Maemo 3.0 Source code other
than the way its shown in Maemo.org

Thanks in advance.
