Hi Chris,

your GPS Output means: "Got no fix", try it outdoors und clear sky  
(the more sky visible, the better). If you're located in a city try it  
on top of a flat building (don't ask me how to get there ;-)

Well, if you want to ping an IP your Moko needs an IP itself. Run a  
dhcp-Client (udhcpc is installed):
> udhcpc eth0

If you're connected to the Internet and have DHCP enabled
> ping www.google.com
should work now.

I recommend using wpa_supplicant to manage you WiFi while there is no  
good GUI available, look at  
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wireless_Networking

uboot update -> regression in menu scroll

2008-08-16 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
I've been running the shipped uboot and 2007.2 until now, when I
deeded to update it to be able to run debian from sd.

So the old version was
Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot 1.3.2-rc2-dirty-moko12

and the new is
Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot
1.3.2+gitr68+650149a53dbdd48bf6dfef90930c8ab182adb512 (from 13. or 14.
Aug)

I clearly see the regression in the menu scrolling, running 2007.2:
it's not smooth anymore, I can't control it nearly as well as before:
you're lucky if you can make it stop around the program you'd like to
start and if it's scrolling and I open the menu to choose the program
category it starts 'clipping': the area where the menu will be opened
is frozen though the rest of the menu is still scrolling.

Anyone experienced the same, any idea where this comes from?

Hi

I did the same but flashed the one from August 2 (chosen kinda randomly) 
and did not experience your problems.

I could install and run debian on a 8GB SD all right. I believe it's a 
SDHC card and I needed this upgrade.

Maybe you can try this one instead ?

Official Debian port with FSO

2008-08-16 Thread sparky mat
I tried out the official debian port with FSO (
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner) and it works quite nicely!!
However, i ran into some problems.

1) Can't make calls. It shows my operator and signal strength correctly.
However, when I dial a number and hit the big green tick button (which I am
assuming is the call button), nothing happens. Am I pressing the wrong
button? None of the others work anyway.

2) No USB networking. Is the module called g_ether? I couldn't find it. How
can I recompile the kernel? Is it the same as mentioned here -
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manual_Debian#.28Optional.29_Recompiling_Kernel_to_Add_Drivers?

3) Zhone. Zhone looks quite nice and simple and I do like it. However, I
would like a standard Xfce4 desktop (which I am gonna customize). Is this as
simple as installing gdm + xfce4, and making a launcher for Zhone?

4) Touchscreen calibration (Atleast that's what i think it is) - Every time
I resume from suspend, 4 boxes with 1-4 come up and (assuming its
touchscreen calibration) I press them in order to make it go away. How can I
turn this off? Is this a Zhone feature?

How did you do suspend??? I just get the screen darkened and if touch it I get 
the screensaver you are talking about but I couldn't find out how to do suspend?

I didn't suspend it manually. The display switches off on a timeout. I press
the power button to wake it up.

Btw, USB networking is working. My bad.

As far as I know, yes. I would have done it but didn't have enough
space on my 512MB card.

I suppose it's called keylock or something like that, not calibration
:) So it's there only to prevent unintentional actions.

So I don't have problems with debian (running from 512MB SD at the
moment) but 2007.2 (running from internal flash): the menu is
sluggish.

About 400-450M so you can do it on 512M card but can't install much
more there, for example no space enough for xfce4

in your opinion could I (without free space problems, installing xfce) use a
2 gb sd for debian AND asu? (how many megabytes needs asu?? oO)

And, sorry, another question... gnome could run? how many mbs needs? Maybe I
want too XD

Not sure what’s wrong there. Once you get ssh to work, you should run
frameworkd and zhone from the command line to check the error messages.

Now that’s strange, it works for me and I have not heard from others

Should be, but if you install gdm, make sure you remove zhone-session

Re: Application to fade screen

Wow this is great thanks aapo! I was actually thinking about just writing a

you think you could walk me through the python script? I'm not much of a
python guru and already I can't find out why open() has a third argument.
I'm only used to seeing two and searching open for 3 arguments comes up with
nothing. I don't get the purpose of writing numbers to the file? Do the
numbers control how much it fades? and what is 63 for? Where did you find
out about '/*

Actually I do not why there are three arguments in open(), but it do
not work without the last 1.
I take that on this page: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Vibrator

This is not a normal file. This is the ancient UNIX (and therefor
modern Linux) way to handle with different kind of devices.

Number is the wanted brightness.

63 is the maximum value.

I have never hearded about this file, until this messagechain, so I
ask the current value of it
cat 
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/backlight/pcf50633-bl/brightness
And it said 63. I wanted it more bright so I tried
echo 64 > 
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/backlight/pcf50633-bl/brightness
And it said: echo: write error: Invalid argument
So I thought maybe 63 is the maximum value.

And surprisingly sametime in devel-list I got verification and much more:

opkg software repository extremely small? no gpsd? no openmoko-browser2?

2008-08-16 Thread Thorben Krueger
Got my freerunner yesterday and am still excited as hell.

ssh via usb worked as well, and opkg update and upgrade went flawlessly

however, "opkg list" shows only some 100 installable packages, most of
which are libraries. No webbrowser or anything. I searched the wiki
without success for anything resembling the opkg equivalent of  debian
repositories.

So how do I get my freerunner all buggy and bloated with alpha software? ;-)

It was different until last week or so, when huge amounts of packages
disappeared. Tangogps, gpsd, openmoko-browser2 all used to be in the

Thanks for the report. We are currently debugging it, and try to find a
proper fix. For a quick workaround, just do the change described in
http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ticket/90.

Thanks to mickey into looking at that!

I have applied an work-around after all and uploaded a new package that
you might want to try out (apt-get update; apt-get -u upgrade should do

The FSO stack does not yet know and support all possible number types.
The 185 was recently added by me after a similar error...

Please do the following:
 * Check if that error also happens when you open the phonebook
 * Add the 161 to the list of numbers in const.py
 * Find out what number was causing this (e.g. by adding "print"
statements around the above line outputting the number) and tell us
about it.

Thanks,
Joachim

Adding 161 to const.py fixed it. 

Adding print("%s" % nstring) output the incoming number which was my own home 
number as I was testing. It was in the format of 1222333.

I don't see the error upon opening the phonebook.

not closing to display the call status screen. 

You can close the pyphone_phone manually and open zhone again, which will 
display the pyphone_call screen, but I should think the intuitive response of 
it would be to call pyphone_call once an active call state is acheived. 

I'm digging through this code for the first time today so I'm still trying to 
familiarize myself with the flow and I can't figure out where the checking 
would best be performed as yet or else I'd suggest something. Till then, I 
leave that to you guys. :}

That's simply because they stopped autobuilding task-openmoko-feed

Dunno why ...

Sorry Tyler, having absolutely no experience with Vista I'm going to
suggest trying one of the LiveCD's with Linux.  At least until you get
things working on the Freerunner.

Have fun,

Debian GTA02 How to get python logs, messages etc?

2008-08-16 Thread clare johnstone
hI,
My FreeRunner seems to have a dropout problem. It shows "Vodafone AU"
and a blue bar a lot of the time, then the bar may empty, then it may
say instead "no service" then it recovers.
As the Debian seems to give other people eror messages and logs, I
need to be pointed to what should be the command line for zhone to see
such messages during or after a call.
It does look as though the dropping out affects what is happening,
including whether sound works during a call, but as things are erratic
I need to be able to get some sort of reports. I am not familiar with
use of python, please spell out what I should do.
Also are there any other reports or logs available via Debian itself
for this problem?

thank you,
clare

SD Card corruption?

2008-08-16 Thread Sebastian M.
Hi List,

I'm suffering SD Card corruption. It seems like there is/was a kernel  
who nuked the first 1024 Bytes, but this error is on the second  
partition of a 2 GB SD Card.

Both Freerunner (Running 20080813 and latest kernel) and Laptop  
(Ubuntu x86) print the same errors, here is the dmesg of my laptop:

On deleting a about 500Mb files it prints (just a snip):

[49358.837078] EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext2_free_blocks:

[49358.842862] EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext2_free_inode: bit

[49358.845819] EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext2_free_blocks:

[49358.847559] EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext2_free_inode: bit

[49358.849493] EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext2_free_blocks:

[49358.854825] EXT2-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext2_free_blocks:  
Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 64188, count = 2

Very interesting is this (also during deleting files):

[49357.883262] attempt to access beyond end of device
[49357.883269] mmcblk0p2: rw=0, want=9751408856, limit=3954368

This whole stuff started during installation of Debian (using the  
script at [1]), so it's either caused by too much transfers onto the  
card or the script messed up the partition table (which, while  
thinking about it, is very probable, esp. because of the access beyond  
end of device error).

Anyone any ideas?

The recommended procedure when debugging problems on Debian (or on the
official ASU image, with slightly different init.d script names):

1. Log in via SSH (usb or wireless)
2. Stop zhone (/etc/init.d/zhone-session stop)
3. Stop frameworkd (/etc/init.d/fso-frameworkd stop)
4. run “frameworkd” and keep watching the output
5. Start another terminal and connect via ssh
6. Start zhone (/etc/init.d/zone-session start)
5. Watch the zhone log (tail -f /tmp/zhone.log)
7. Debug ahead!

So far, this has revealed all tracebacks to me :-)

Greetings,
Joachim

Are you using Vista 64-bit? I have the 32-bit edition and the Neo1973.inf
worked fine for me.

Customizing official Debian

2008-08-16 Thread sparky mat
After 10 minutes of playing with Zhone, I dumped zhone-session for gdm and
xfce4.

I ran into this trouble. On reboot, it said that X was already running, and
it was trying to run it again. Snooping around, I find that
/etc/init.d/zhone-sesion and /et/rc[2-5].d/S20zhone-sesion were still around
and trying to start X. Removing these files solved this problem.

Keyboard was messy, so enabled auto-login (steps below)
1. created a user
2. Added this to the 'Daemon' section of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=


Now I am looking for a MUCH lighter window manager. Xfce4 is too heavy!! :)
. How good is Matchbox/Fluxbox usability-wise and customizability-wise?
