Re: IT OS 2007 v.3 Upgrade
Still no 12/24-hour clock. This has been discussed several times. A provisional conclusion is that a) Even if it sounds incredible we are following POSIX standards, and we did not create them. I remember posix standard from medieval times, following which all witches, that have object blinking, making sound or light, have to be burned to ash. c) Note, however, that the technical implementation that is obvious for desktop/laptop machines is not that obvious for small tiny devices with very limited resources. I am a little man. My 770 looks so giant to me! Conclusion of the conclusion: it's not that we don't care, we know but other things go first in the ToDo list.

Any python experts?
I have a script which will let me post to twitter (yeah yeah I am
hooked hard) and am looking to make it more like an app.
I have the load-run statusbar plugin running so I can invoke the
script,but have to type in quite a bit each time rather than just
entering my status message.
You invoke with a python ~/MyDocs/.documents/twitter.py username
password status message I'd like to just have the status message
part for obvious reasons. Right now I have to enter the full path +
username and password each time...
This is a personal quest at the moment, but I would imagine more
people would be psyched to have something like this...
Here's the full script which I found here -

Maemmo community, N800 I installed the sdhc-kernel.bin I found on the site http://intr.overt.org/n800-sdhc-kernel; based on the NOKIA build 2.2006.51-6 on March 22, 07. The build appears to be based on kernel 2.6.18-omap1#4 e.g. I experienced chronic reboots. These reboots were reported on internettablettalk going back to the first kernel update posted on the maemo website for the N800. Aside the point! While I was happy to recognize that SDHC support was enabled I found myself a little discouraged seeing that the kernel lacked support for the linux file system. I was hoping that it would contain the ext2 support with no journaling. Seeing that this is/was not a sanctioned release from maemo website, my statement is moot. Q I assume it would be a no-no to try and use the ext2.ko module from the n770, I am assuming this would be a mistake beings they are different arm's and different kernels (has any one tried it). Does or has any one devised a patch that would do both SDHC and ext2 for the latest build released from maemo for the N800 seeing that it was only released last week I am assuming the answer is NO. I have installed the latest build released from maemo for the N800 last week and it seems to be very stable. ThankYou I lost search information multiple time with the previous build. My Questions are, Q1 are there kernel tarballs available for the platforms that would allow some one like my self to attempt hacks on these kernels to allow someone like my self to attempt to create patches addressing some of my questions. Q2 is there any one in the communtiy that would be willing to help me come to a better understanding on programming on the arm platform and or addressing kernel issues and patches with regard to the N800 and N770 in the community. Comment With respect to documentation, there seems to be a great disconnect on what is being fixed at what may be broken by attempting to use a new build. I am always baffled by my lack of ability to find info on what the newest builds are addressing regarding fixes and hardware support, some of these new builds seemed to be rushed and seem to break more things than they fix. An artifact of being on the bleading edge. I would be happy to try to attempt to promote better documentation for the site ( I guess I am volunteering). If I could get a better handle on what kernels are being used with any particular build. It might help others make better decisions when updating or update planning. My comments are not to flame or complain (I realize many people are doing this on a voluntary basis), Q3 Is there is a more centralized area of the maemo site that addresses fixes when it come to build releases? as stated I would be happy to do some write ups as I understand things; seeing that I am having a difficult time especially with regard to knowing just what is being fixed in new releases and what I may be giving up. Comment Is it my imagination that maemo has avoided ext2 support for a good reason that I don't understand. I assumed that it would have been standard on the N800 from the start. Lastly I noticed when I use the vpnc (cisco) software with either the n800 or the n770 that the connection breaks down rather quickly. when I use it from home to a local university, the connection holds up rather well (I'll have to experiment, whether it is because I am typically on a charger at home, whereas I am typically on battery on campus and energy conservation routines maybe breaking down the connection). Anyway has any thought been given to provide a way of turning off energy saving routines when the need arises. I was attending a High Performance Computing seminar and could not hold a consistant connection to the local net via vpn, 1-3 minutes was the max. It may be the wifi routers they use are using, are not satifactory in communicating with the NOKIA's that said all of laptops at the seminar held connections rather well. Coming full circle I imagine it has more to with energy conservation algorithms. Q4I have a n770 (dual boot) running the linux kernel 2.6.16.27-omapl. I typically boot to mmc. I have edited the fstab and minircS shutdown and reboot files to allow mounting of an alternate partition that I might be able to allow maemo mapper to load maps from that partition. The problem is on startup the mount of that partition does not occur. I always have to manually mount the partition. Would anyone volunteer to look at the fstab and minircS files and tell me what I am doing wrong. q5can anyone reccomend running the 2007 kernel posted for the n770 or does it slow the n770 device down to much! Should my questions and comments be more appropriate on the internettablettalk forum. Sincerely Jerry Stutte ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org

I assumed that it would have been standard on the N800 from the start. A stock 770 or N800 doesn't need ext2 - the default file systems are jffs2 (for internal flash) and vfat (for MMC/SD cards). Including ext2 by default would be a waste of flash storage on a filesystem that is not used. However if you want it you can install it quite easily via apt. There is a custom N800 kernel available with ext2/3, nfs etc. but the download page is currently unavailable, and I've no idea what sources were used to build the kernel and it may be unwise to use it. Q4I have a n770 (dual boot) running the linux kernel 2.6.16.27-omapl. I typically boot to mmc. Would anyone volunteer to look at the fstab and minircS files and tell me what I am doing wrong. Sure, post the relevant files and I'm sure someone will try to help! :) q5can anyone reccomend running the 2007 kernel posted for the n770 or does it slow the n770 device down to much! It works surprisingly well - no real performance hit at all. Should my questions and comments be more appropriate on the internettablettalk forum. Yes - they are all answered there already (apart from possibly your fstab/mount issue). Please don't hesitate to use the Search function. :) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: IT OS 2007 v.3 Upgrade
I'll try to explain. - I pick the most voted feature requests and I try to solve them. This implies that most of the time I'm dealing with issues I'm not expert of, but can help solving. - You would be surprised how little is my knowledge about what is going on inside the device. My skills are elsewhere. I might know better what is going on currently inside the development process, though. - We have generally good reasons when we say issue X is more complex than it seems, we will work on feature Y but not now, and things like that. We might be mistaken or we might have different opinions and this is why discussing is (almost) always positive, useful. - You deserve more and more precise feedback, but you deserve many things and we make our list of priorities as well. When I invest 1h in the 12/24h thing I'm not putting this time in other topics that are also done for your own good, and perhaps are more relevant now. - I have the 12/24h feature request assigned. I will comment progress there. Same thing with the rest of bugs/features assigned. Please submit a feature request about the legal OKs if you haven't done it. Keep going, you are doing great. It's a privilege to be here in this bright community. -- Quim Gil - http://maemo.org ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
