Re: [Debian/FSO] openmoko-panel-plugin: inflexibility in events processing

2008-11-26 Thread arne anka

using ms4 and if I was a granny and hit a power button I'd think I just
switched off the phone, not suspend. If I hit it again I'd think that
I'd powered it on again, not resume.


a grannie would be able to kill herself with a spoon ...
everything above a kitchen knive requires understanding how the device  
works, which means reading soem kind of documentation before use -- if the  
device does not work as expected, it's usually a matter of pebkac.
especially for a device with so limited a number of physical input  
elements it should be perfectly clear to any user that the two buttons  
have more than a simple on/off function but a broad number depending upon  
the situation.


it might be an option (as usual) to make the behaviour of the pwr button  
configurable:

a) do only on/off
b) do suspend/resume and on/off
c) expose a menu to select the desired action

a) would be for what you call grannies
b) for those preferring fast and minmal inavise action
c) for the rest

focusing solely on the (imho hardly likely) group of grannies would  
ostracize the number of users willing to use and looking for a more  
advanced device not tied up in the conventional paradigms of user  
interaction.
building smartphones for grannies is a task a lot of companies aspire --

Solved it by booting from flash and running fsck.ext2.

Zhone with trayer on debian

2008-11-26 Thread Juan Cañete
Hi, 

Im using Debian/windowmaker with fso4 packages. I start trayer and most 
applications, like xchat, vagalume register an icon on it, but zhone doesn't. 
Is there any way to register zhone with trayer or is a code-related issue?


best regards.

  As far as I know, trayer is just a system tray, not a task list.
Xchat registers an icon on it, because it's programmed this way, but
since Zhone focuses on getting the features working and not so much on
the UI I guess there's little need for a tray icon for it.  What would
such an icon do that openmoko-panel-plugin doesn't already do?

Re: Status of Debian Build

2008-11-26 Thread arne anka

1.)Is the Debian release able to provide a phone that has the basic
functions (SMS, telephony, email) without needing to spend a week  
getting it

to work.


install zhone (in fact, the installer will do it for you) and you're good.


2.)Will there be a Debian release for the Openmoko that includes all  
the

basic functions. If so what sort of time frame is anticipated for this.


there will be no release for openmoko -- there's no release for dell or  
thinkpad or whatever.
the general part is handled by armel packages, the phone specific by  
fso-framework.


i use it for weeks now with debian and it's ok.

Because if zhone had an icon on the trayer the app could be started without 
ocupying space on the desktop, even without the minimize icon (in windowmaker 
in my case).

 Sure, I’ll do it right away. (And please keep telling me what patches to

And done.

Paul, one feature request: If the number is _not_ known, could to avoid
showing it twice? You probably also need to improve the .edj file so
that the sublabel is not visible (not even as an empty white bar) in
that case.

 Also please notice that there was a traceback in

Cheers for that you made me laugh with the grannies with spoons comment ;-)

I sort of disagree with you. People do not read the manual when they get
a device. They try to use it and if they have to resort to the manual
the designer has failed. I can't remember the last time I read the
manual for a phone, camera, DVD player. Devices performing everyday
things like a mobile phone in the 21t century should be as close to
intuitive as makes no difference.

No offence to anybody on this list but like a lot of you I'm happy
enough with the command line for a lot of stuff and that's maybe why
we're not that good at usability. I'm not suggesting that we get tied
up the conventional paradigms of user interactions but just a bit of
usability. I think even a granny given an iPod for the first time would
have a fairly good stab at playing some music. Obviously getting music
into it would be a stretch.

I also don't think that OpenMoko should even attempt to give use smart
phones for grannies. They should give us a hardware platform and let us,
the community, do the rest. Look at the xBox media centre for the
original xBox built by a community, as far as I know, and a really good
usable piece of Software IMHO.

At the end of the day I'm still amazed that I've got an open platform.
When my capable laptop for programming arrives and I get some time I'm
going to have a menu on the power button ;-)

Thanks again for the laugh. Grannies with spoons
