Re: maemo UI
They've added to some relatively recent version of pdf format (5?) the possibility of reflowed PDFs to support ebooks. Not sure how well it works in reality. See http://www.adobe.com/uk/epaper/tips/acr5reflow/ This post really got me going. I decided to type 'poppler reflow' into google and see what it spit out. Turns out poppler doesn't support the reflow tag in PDFs. But someone did write a patch to reflow when converting to html: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2008-September/004126.html I took that patch and tried to make it worthy of commit for poppler: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20652 Thanks for the helpful dialogue.

Re: maemo UI
Would anyone be willing to help a designer work on changes to the maemo UI? I can make designs and flows, buttons, etc.-- anyone out there able to code it up? I'd like to change the startup screen as well, I'm a bit tired of the Nokia touching hands... I'm also interested in a nicer ebook reader for maemo, I can provide designs for anyone willing to work with me. A flash-like page flipper would be nice to implement. I am all for making the animations such that they help users get a better experience. But fbreader already works pretty well for my needs. I am not convinced that page turning is more then a gimmick. The real bonus points for reading electronic documents is to make evince be small screen aware and make it be able understand page layout so that it focuses away whitespace (like margins). Bonus points if it understands two and three column layouts as well. PDF reading on small devices is the sux0rs.

Re: maemo UI
hi all, the current liqbase has a simplified text based book reader - its available in maemo extras. its got super sliq kinetic scrolling through the document and fullscreen tearfree rendering of booktext with an autoscroll function :) it remembers your position and allows you to select a new book (what else do you need..) its principle limitation is that it reads only text files (the other being its all mixed in with everything else that I expect to have) there are discussions underway and plans to make use of my new libliqbase framework to allow multiple book formats to be read on the device using the same sliq UI :) theres a video of my work here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMXp0Dg_UaYwhich shows the initial framework a couple of months ago and I have advanced further already (theres a followup video) We (myself, community council member keesj and jeremiah the maemo debmaster) have just spent some time at the mozilla maemo weekend preparing a proper debian package for the library itself so that myself and others can build on the library to create apps which work well on this and future devices (I have run the framework on omap3 prototypes with even more impressive speed!) hope that gives a little foodfor thought :) gary (lcuk on #maemo) On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 7:26 PM, Erik Hovland e...@hovland.org wrote: On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 11:04 AM, Hubert Figuiereh...@figuiere.net wrote: On 06/01/2009 01:49 PM, Erik Hovland wrote: The real bonus points for reading electronic documents is to make evince be small screen aware and make it be able understand page layout so that it focuses away whitespace (like margins).

Re: Maemo UI Development for N800/N810
Hi Eero, I tried reducing the hierarchy and it helped, but I am still trying to reduce it further. Currently I am using 24 bit png (24 bit bmp converted to png) images for all image widgets. Will it help if I use 8-bit bitmaps (converted to png) to lighten the UI? Is there any other image format supported by Maemo/GTK which would make it lighter?

Hi. I'm Andrew Zhilin from frosty Russia and I want to invite you to my blog http://tabletui.wordpress.com/ and join interesting discussions about current Maemo UI improvements and re-designs. As a result we must get a list of kindly illustrated and guided suggestions for improvement Maemo OS from the usability point of view. Everyone's ideas are strongly appreciated. We're not talking about gasps like I want this like in iPhone or this cool FX would look great here but about real tweaks of current Maemo. Discussions on recently added paragraphs are very welcome. And maybe Maemo Team will take some of the ideas to the real release om Maemo OS.

Can we launch Maemo UI on several Xephyrs from different clients connected to a server?
Hi,
I'm a new comer in this field with maemo.
Actually, I want to launch Maemo UIs onto several Xephyrs.
So I found a thread related to this problem on this mailing list. At that
time, author was Sampath. Maybe the subject of that thread is the same as
mine. :) In the previous thread, there was just one solution about launching
several Xephyrs using a wrapper script(e.g. start-xephyr.sh). There was not
an answer for Maemo UI problems
Finally, when I try to launch Maeomo UI(af-sb-init.sh start) on each xephyr,
it failed except the first one.
The detail situation of is follows..
1) I made 2 start-xephyr.sh, it works for each user.
For a user kevin
#!/bin/sh -e
prefix=/scratchbox/users/kevin/targets/SDK_X86/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${prefix}/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec ${prefix}/bin/Xephyr :$1 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96
-ac
For a user dino
#!/bin/sh -e
prefix=/scratchbox/users/dino/targets/SDK_X86/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${prefix}/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec ${prefix}/bin/Xephyr :$1 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96
-ac
2) Then, I executed these scripts on the gdm xserver(Ubuntu 6.1 Edgy
distributed)
root$start-xephyr-kevin.sh 2
root$start-xephyr-dino.sh 3
as a result, on the screen, 2 Xephyr launched.
3) On an other PC, executed terminal program(SecureCRT) and then I logged
in server as other users, kevin and dino.
4) Then I logged in scratchbox(Apophis (Current stable version)) as each
user.
5) For the first time, kevin set its DISPLAY, like this
[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:2
and then another user, dino did the same work except to number of
DISPLAY
[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:3
6) Then, kevin launched Maemo UI firstly
[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] af-sb-init.sh start
..as a result, it worked well, I could find that maemo UI
launched on the xephyr displayed on 2
7) Lastly, dino launched Maemo UI, like this
[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] af-sb-init.sh start
..as a result, it terminated...with that log.
/usr/bin/af-sb-init.sh: line 1: export: `bus:': not a valid identifier

8) Following End.
Well, I think it might be problem at DBUS sessions and maemo UI
initscript...
I expected that it'd work well if that problems are fixed...
Somebody who knows that issue, please, let me know how to fix it...
Thanks,

I stopped the Maemo UI [sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] af-sb-init.sh stop and closed the Xephyr window. From the second login (B) I tried to start the Maemo UI using the command [sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] af-sb-init.sh start. Maemo Ui is not started and I am getting the below messages: --- [sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] af-sb-init.sh start Note: For remote X connections DISPLAY should contain hostname! Starting DBUS system bus Starting D-BUS session bus daemon /usr/bin/af-sb-init.sh: line 1: export: `bus:': not a valid identifier /usr/bin/af-sb-init.sh: line 1: export: `/tmp/session_bus_socket:': not a valid identifier /etc/init.d/maemo-launcher: line 1: export: `bus:': not a valid identifier /etc/init.d/maemo-launcher: line 1: export: `/tmp/session_bus_socket:': not a va lid identifier Starting Maemo Launcher: maemo-launcher start failed.

Re: [maemo-developers] Can we launch Maemo UI by multiple users connected to a server
2007/2/8, Sampath Goud [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, Can somebody let me know if we can lauch Maemo UI from different logins: Yes, it can be done, though it might require some effort. The problems arise from the fact that the maemo initscripts and such do not ensure their presence in /tmp is unique to the user (or in some cases like D-Bus, unique at all). That's why Sapwood refuses to start another instance of itself, why D-Bus isn't able to start the session bus etc. I've done it, but it required some mucking around in /etc changing the configs (for example D-Bus) and/or the initscripts to make them add a user prefix/suffix to their /tmp stuff. Unfortunately it was a while ago and I didn't take the details down... The other solution might be to mount a per-user tmp over the tmp which is visible inside Scratchbox, but I'm not sure if that's possible (SB is a web of links and mounts so it's hard to tell directly what will happen... ;). But worth a try I guess. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
