Re: N810 available in Spain, but contribution code not working

2008-01-30 Thread Álvaro J. Iradier
I'm feeling quite annoyed.

I called Nokia shop in Spain, and they told me that the code is not
valid in the Online Nokia shop, so I should ask the people who sent me
the code where should I buy the N810.

According to the mail where I got the contribution code, this is the
URL where I should get the N810

Spain
http://direct.nokia.com/countries.aspx?model=N810country=ESadd=true

which... surprise!!! It's Nokia Shop Spain!!!

So Maemo sends me a discount code from a NoReply address, pointing
me to Nokia Online Shop Spain. Discount code doesn't work in Nokia
Shop Spain, and they tell me to ask the people who sent me the
discount code, but they are not reachable!!!

Will this be fixed, or should we say goodbye and forget about getting
the discount?

Thanks.

 I have tested it now and it worked with the last one code.

 It just was fixed because I tested it two hours ago and it didn't work.

Remember that your discount code is: XX (6 numbers code). The code
will be valid until the end of February. Please keep it in a safe
place since this is the last time we will send it. If you have further
questions please contact the customer care channel of your shop.

We had to make some changes in some codes. In case the code listed
here is different than the one you received, this is the good one.

The maemo team wishes you a great time playing with the N810. Remember

IT2007 Hacker Edition - First impression

2007-04-07 Thread Álvaro J. Iradier

Hi, after following the thread about no bug fixing in Nokia 770, I
decided to download and try it2007 hacker edition[1]. I think it's
worth trying, and I hope development is not discontinued, it looks
quite promising.

First time I installed it, It detected a previous backup was in the
MMC card and offered to restore it. Not a good idea! Apparently
network settings, bookmars, etc were restored correctly. However the
virtual input didn't work at all. The virtual keyboard or handwriting
pad didn't display at all. Reflashing again and skipping the restore
backup step fixed this problem.

The IT 2007 seems faster and more responsive than the 2006 version,
which was surprising, being it backported from a device with faster
cpu and more RAM.

There are many small improvements in the system that are worth the
update, like the bluetooth keyboard support, file sending/receiving
over bluetooth, the new control panel, or being able to resize the
desktop applets.

First big surprise was browsing about: in Opera. It shows Opera
version is 8.02. (wasn't it Opera 7 in 2006?). They I browsed to
Youtube, and another big surprise. Youtube didn't complain about Flash
player version, and video started to play with audio only!! The video
remained black, or noisy sometimes, and it was quite unstable. It made
Opera crash a few times. However, I didn't expect this at all!!

About things not working, the IT2007 Media Player didn't work at all.
I wasn't able to play any videos (even the demo video shipped with
IT2007) or mp3 files. I installed mplayer from the n800 repositories,
and it didn't work either, so I'll try to install the 770 version.

I might be wrong, but could the mplayer / flash video / Nokia Media
Player problems be related to the video driver or similar? Does the
N800 support XVideo extension, and are these apps trying to use it?

I tried some other applications from Bora repositories, like VNC,
rdesktop or the GPE suite, and they worked perfect. Others, like
mplayer or maemo-mapper didn't work fine. The Gizmo package for N800
worked well too.

I installed some 770 applications and worked fine, but I wasn't able
to install Xournal from the .deb file because it complained about the
package being not compatible with current software

This makes me wonder... what makes an application work in N800 but not
in 770? How much are they binary compatible? And what about installing
770 applications in IT2007 hacker edition? If we add repositories for
both Bora and for Mistral/Scirocco, what version of the application
will be preferred and installed by the application manager? (for
example, I'm going to install the 770 version of mplayer)

Finally, the it2007 version takes up some more storage space than
it2006. It's about 90MB once installed, so you get about 36MB free for
installing new apps. The memory usage seems bigger than IT2006 too,
but these are not surprising facts.

Can other people that are using IT2007 hacker edition share their
comments and impressions?

Greets.

Correction: mp3 worked in media player, but not video, I get the
following messages in syslog, they could be related to the problem:

omapdsp: task 4: name mpeg4dec

Yes, but what I mean, in the debian/control file there's a line that
says Section:.

That tutorial says:

The Application Installer only shows packages in the user section.
Thus, your Section: field in the control file must has the Section:

Hi, thanks. I already saw that page, sorry not to mention it. However
it's far from complete. Where is hildon.Window, hildon.Program,
hildon.AppView... ?

About the line breaks... Well, it makes it quite confusing to follow
the code. Fortunately the examples are quite sort. But as identation
and line breaks are critical in python, you can't copy-paste the
example in the tutorial and run it.

 Hi,

 I'm developing some python applications for Nokia 770, and I think
 documentation is not as good as I expected.

 1) First, the code in the python tutorial in here:


http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/pymaemo/python_maemo_howto.html

 is quite unreadable. There are no line breaks

 2) I couldn't find docs for the Python Hildon API, but I looked at the
 maemo hildon API for C, it should be enough:


https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/doc/api/hildon-libs/index.html

 If I look at the HildonWindow entry, I can see some functions for it.
 However, it looks like HildonWindow inherits from another widget (I
 guess it's GtkContainer?) so there are other methods, like add(). I
 can't see this relationship anywhere, just in the example in python
 tutorial. The Object Hierarchy is empty.

 Other entries, like  API documentation control panel, status bar and
 home applets are empty too:


http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/api/maemo-af-desktop-sdk-doc/index.html

 (is this available in Python, by the way).

 3) I know 'help' command is not available in python for 770, but there
 should be another version for scratchbox with 'help' available. It
 would be very useful! Maybe it is already available and I missed it?

 Thanks very much!

I am quite disappointed too. If 770 software would be fully open
sourced, there would be no problem. But I feel like i've been cheated,
and now I'm trapped with a device with unsupported software (opera,
flash, etc.), and I guess main 770 developers will move to N800
attracted by the 99€ offer.

Even though the 'half-open platform' of Apple was mentioned, I think the

having problems selling their iPhone in the near future.

And Nokia telling people after ~12 months that their N770 is basically
not supported any longer is not gonna drive anyone to recommend the
platform and devices, is it? I, for one, am rather disappointed by this
whole affair, and I will stop showing the device to people in my Linux

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: [maemo-announce] New Nokia 770 software image available

2006-11-02 Thread Álvaro J. Iradier

Well, do you think it is that hard? I don't mind reinstalling from
scratch, but probably many users will think it twice before upgrading,
because they don't have time to spend on reinstalling everything :)

Dist-upgrading shouldn't be that hard. For a bug-fixing release like
this one, it would be even better to have the updated packages in a
repository when they are available, instead of all at once in a full
release. This way the need for extra space would be lower too. But I
guess most users have a big MMC card, so couldn't that be used for
downloading the packages before installing?

I'm not complaining, I really appreciate this work, you can just
consider this suggestions / feedback.

Thanks very much.

 Greets.

I recall the Nokia devs stating in the past that they did not intend
to support this route to upgrading. It is too bad but I would imagine
that the problems involved are two-fold:
1) This route to upgrading is a lot more complicated to do right while
avoiding the cruft buildup that is tolerable on a desktop system yet
not so easily accommodated on a limited resource embedded system and
2) This route to upgrading typically necessitates having an equally
large space to store the packages on top of the existing place where
the old ones are installed. It seems wasteful to keep around a bunch
of empty storage space for upgrading purposes that could be used for
user data/apps. Once again,  it is tolerable on a desktop system yet
not so easily accommodated on a limited resource embedded system.

Neither of these things are technically insurmountable but it is a
question of whether you want them to spend time and effort trying to
get this to work and answering the inevitable questions from
situations where it doesn't work or taking the simple brute-force way
to upgrading and spending more effort on the actual content of the
upgrades.

 You are spot on.  This is chaos and the mistral repositories should
 not contain the broken packages.  They need to be fixed and/or
 reverted to the same version that is in the IT2006 flash image.

 People here are aware of this... (and also appropriately embarrassed).

:)

For the record I was hit too and hopefully found help on #maemo
so I could get out of the reboot cycles.

I did not realize that the application manager wasn't doing the same
things as apt-get upgrade until too late.

When the mistral repositories are fixed, what's the best course,
apt-get upgrade again? (I do it through ssh from my regular PC.)

Thanks in advance,

Laurent

The audio/video playing is fixed by removing / moving a gstreamer
library file (I can't remember the name or the location, maybe try
searching the archives, something with lib and jitter?) that
causes a segfault. I had to move it to another folder, then restart
the device, and playing worked perfect again.

 This actually depends on which version of osso-xterm is used, the one
from maemo[1] repositories does not use maemo-launcher, so it is safe to
use; however, the one from maemo-hackers[2] does use, and will be killed.


 I was using xterm from maemo-hackers so it was killed. I followed the steps
suggested above and in some previous threads and set the flag
'no-lifeguard-reset'. After that my device didn't reboot anymore. I
completed upgrade with 'dpkg --configure -a' and it seemed to fix the mess
with my packages. However, after that I decided to try to clear that flag
back hoping that tablet now does not need it. Clearing the flag resulted
again in cycle reboot of my system. I was wondering whether this behavior
is alright?

 Also as was mentioned by Johannes  Eickhold in
http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-August/005349.html
video and audio players are not able to play files any more after this
failure. With regards to this problem is flashing device the only way to fix
it?

You're right! I noticed that gtalk stopped working, as well as Gizmo,
but didn't think about the missing library :(

Could you please send me the correct libgstrtpjitterbuffer.so file in private?

When will a fixed package be available in the repository?

I would not recommend this! The
file /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstrtpjitterbuffer.so is probably used
during voice calls with the Google Talk client. It definitely is used by
the SIP client sofsip-cli.

What's the difference between apt-get upgrading and using the
application manager search for updates option? I thought it was the
same...

If upgrading is not meant for consumers, why is that broken package in
the maemo repository? Shouldn't it be in sardine? I mean, what's the
point on having updated packages?  I thought this would be nice for
making bug fixes available to consumers...

Hi Sebastian,

afaik apt-get upgrading isn´t meant for consumers.
Remember, you read the info about rd mode and breaking the device ...

But I absolutly agree that these packages need to be removed or fixed.
Hopefully someone at nokia will do it for us.

Best,

Michael

Yes, but if it segfaults, what do you recommend instead? Why can't
people push a fixed version into the repository or revert to an earlier
one if its known to be bad? I really would like to be able to apt-get
upgrade my box without having to figure out single segfaulting
libraries... I find this slightly annoying as it (obviously) affects
many out there (including me).

Please don't send some mystic libraries around. Put the fixed debs in
some repo and let everybody upgrade, experiencing this problem. Private
fixed versions of specific programs we do have enough already.

Thanks,

Yes, basically you'll need to disable lifeguard flag, and then
complete the apt-get upgrade using ssh (when updating maemo-launcher

 Hi,

 I just did 'apt-get upgrade' with my tablet.
 After fetching packages it started unpacking and replace them as usual.
 After it reached maemo-launcher and osso-sounds-ui the tablet rebooted
 automatically, booted back completely (ran desktop environment and so
 on). But at this point it worked only for about 10-15 seconds and then
 rebooted again.
 Since then it's booting, working for aforementioned time, rebooting
 again and so on...

 Any ideas how to proceed now? And what is the reason for this failure?

Have a look at the recent thread called Reboot Cycle. Seems like a
similar symptom, so perhaps it will point you to the right direction.

[maemo-developers] Volume in VoIP calls

2006-06-17 Thread Álvaro J. Iradier

Hi, I'm testing IT2006 and it works great. I'm just missing one thing:

the speaker in the 770 can play quite loud (for example music and
videos). However, while doing a voice call the the volume is low even
when both global and call volumes are set to maximum. You have to put
the nokia in your ear to be able to hear something.

It would be really nice to be able to have a hands free mode, that
allows to set a higher volume. The microphone seems sensible enough.
I've tested and the other party could hear me perfectly even when the
nokia was far from my mouth.

What do you think?

Thanks very much.
