[Debian] How can I start the phone application?
Hello, I've followed the instructions and install.sh script from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner to install Debian. Debian was installed and I can boot from microSD. But after Debian started, the phone application didn't launched. The screen showed the login prompt and I can login debian and run commands in the shell like normal debian environment. Just the phone application didn't started. How can I use debian for Neo Freerunner as a normal phone? Please help me. I can provide log files if needed. Sorry for my poor English and thank you for your patient.

The screen showed the login prompt and I can login debian and run commands in the shell like normal debian environment. you mean: black screen, white font, blinking cursosr and everything you want to do requires login via ssh? either X wasn't installed at all, not correctly or something happens while starting X. - do you have /var/log/X.org.0.log (or something similar)? - does ps ax list a line with X - what happens when you do startx ? ___ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland

Hi Arne, Yes, I saw the blinking cursor but I have to login via ssh. The is no process relative to X debian-gta02:/var/log# ps ax | grep X 1630 pts/0S+ 0:00 grep X After startx, I get the following output from the terminal and the phone application ran on the screen :) But I have a question. Isn't x window system start by default?

It is started via /etc/init.d/nodm normally.
Please check if the nodm package is installed and/or check
/etc/init.d/nodm.

Re: [Debian] How can I start the phone application?
Hi Gregor,
The nodm package is installed.
But I saw a warning message while boot.
Not starting nodm because NODM_ENABLED is 'false' in /etc/default/nodm
(warning)
So I edited /etc/default/nodm.
I changed NODM_ENABLED=false to NODM_ENABLED=true and reboot.
After restart, the warning message disappeared but I still got the login
prompt only.
The nodm is running, but no GUI appears.
I got an error message from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (No such file or directory)
Thanks,
River

There is no /var/log/Xorg.0.log generated until I changed NODM_ENABLED=false to NODM_ENABLED=true in /etc/default/nodm nodm is running now, but I still get a login prompt only.

Oops.

Oops.
Both are the default settings for /etc/default/nodm, as seen in the
debconf template:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/nodm.git;a=blob;f=debian/nodm.templates;h=aac033ec8ef62da5a34fa82b2d6e5c2791881990;hb=HEAD
After a quick look I don't find anything in install.sh at
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=blob;f=install.sh;h=4dfd11843b07fca6937b147691484a5cb76d008b;hb=HEAD
where these settigns are pre-seeded or overwritten ...
(And I don#t have my FR here either.)
I guess we need to wait for our install.sh specialists.
In the meantime changing
vt7 -nolisten tcp
to
vt1 -nolisten tcp
(since there's only 1 tty according to install.sh but you can check in
/etc/inittab) might help
Cheers,
gregor

While the easiest solution would have been to simply add a preseed for nodm, I decided to go for a more configurable one, thus install.sh now accepts yet another user variable: DISPLAY_MANAGER choose the Display Manager to be installed (default to nodm, possible values are any *dm package in the Debian archive, which could require a LOT of disk space; set to none if you do not want a Display Manager) http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=commitdiff;h=503190a539a85757c00affd69a7ab9037753404a Since we cannot add all of the possible configurations, only when DISPLAY_MANAGER=nodm we preseed two values: nodm nodm/x_options string "vt4 -nolisten tcp" nodm nodm/enabled string "true" http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=commitdiff;h=e3c8dd33799797aa87513aeb5a7d0e6abab3aca5 I successfully tested my patch for three values of DISPLAY_MANAGER (nodm, gdm, and none) before commiting it and I discovered some interesting stuff: - Debian now provides 6 VTs, while I seems to remember that in the past only 4 of them were available (hence the reason for specifying vt4...), I could not find any mail about that :-( - if no VT is specified, xinit/startx uses the first VT available (which IMHO is quite logic), on my FR vt2 as shown by /var/log/Xorg.0.log - strangely enough, the above does happen with GDM as well, even if GDM specifies VT7 as the VT to be used. I quickly checked the other *DMs in Debian: a) WDM starts X11 on vt2 (but then it exits for I do not know which reason and I do not have time to investigate right now) and it does not specify at all any VT in its configuration files b) XDM specifies vt7 in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and indeed it does not start because vt7 is not available c) KDM is not installable, I guess because the migration to KDE4 is not yet completed on armel kdm: Depends: kdebase-data (< 4:3.5.10.dfsg.2) but 4:4.2.2-1 \ is to be installed I stopped my efforst WRT KDM here, I am not a KDE fan at all. The above results brought me to think that GDM was faulty and indeed I am not alone: http://bugs.debian.org/348033 Going back to nodm, a better solution would be to create (at least) two VTs: 1 for the console and 7 for X11, thus any DM will work out of the box. This would also render the FR more like a desktop system, where the first X11 is always running on vt7. However, since I am not a tty expert, I am not sure we can do that.

I second the idea, and that could also be one less cause of divergency between nodm on the openmoko and nodm on other systems; however, I also do not know how to create a new tty.
