[fso m3] vibrate over and over
I installed FSO milstone III on my FR, and left it on my desk at home. When I came home, I noticed it was vibrating, over and over. I had at least one missed call, I can't find a call log, so it may have been more. The phone kept vibrating until I had unlocked zhone (1224) and clicked reject, several times. Would have been virating most of the day. Is this a known bug? I tried to access the trak to check but http://www.freesmartphone.org appears to be down for me.

I've never messed with audio settings, so this is just with whatever the default settings are.

For reference, the appropriate part of /etc/network/interfaces on my FreeRunner reads: auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.200 up echo nameserver xxx.xx.xxx.x > /etc/resolv.conf up echo nameserver xxx.xx.xxx.x >> /etc/resolve.conf with the x's replaced by the IP's that I found at /etc/resolv.conf on the host computer. Even without a correct nameserver, though, I would think you should still be able to access the internet, e.g. ping 209.85.171.104 > Do you know what the "route" command on the Freerunner should > look like? That might give a clue about the status of the phone's > connectivity. I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but here's what I get when I type "route" on a terminal on the FreeRunner: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 usb0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 00 eth0 default 192.168.0.200 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 usb0 Matt ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Linking Freerunner with OpenSuse 10.3 (64-bit)
Sorry, one little mistake in my previous instructions. Instead of going to Network Settings and clicking "Add", you should plug your FreeRunner into the USB port first, then open Network Settings. Hopefully the USB Network Device shows up and you can select it and click Edit (in 11.0, or Configure in 10.3).

Re: Linking Freerunner with OpenSuse 10.3 (64-bit)
OK, I stopped being lazy and did some googling, and here's what I have so far. It should work as long as you're not on a network using 192.168.0.x addresses. I still have to enter "route add -host 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0" in a terminal to get around that, but other than that this should make everything automatic. If anyone confirms that this works (or doesn't work), please reply. I've been changing a lot of settings, so there might be something missing, but it seems to work. OK, short version: YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Overview -> Add -> Address Under "IP Address" enter "192.168.0.200" Under "Subnet Mask" enter "255.255.255.0" -> General -> Firewall Zone -- Assign Interface to Firewall Zone -> Internal Zone (Unprotected) Click "Next", which takes you back to: YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Global Options -> Traditional Method with ifup YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Routing -> Enable IP Forwarding YaST -> Firewall -> Masquerading -> Masquerade Networks With any luck, that should do it. Long version: Go to YaST Control Center -> Network Devices -> Network Card (openSUSE 11.0) or YaST Control Center -> Network Devices -> Network Settings (openSUSE 10.3) In the Overview tab click "Add". Under the Address tab click "Statically assigned IP Address" Still under the Address tab, in the "IP Address" field enter "192.168.0.200", and in the "Subnet Mask" field enter "255.255.255.0". Under the "General" tab, where it says "Firewall Zone -- Assign Interface to Firewall Zone", choose "Internal Zone (Unprotected)". Click Next Still in Network Settings, under the Global Options tab, make sure "Traditional Method with ifup" is selected (if you want to use NetworkManager, you'll have to figure it out yourself since the webpage I got this from assumes otherwise - http://en.opensuse.org/ICS) Still in Network Settings, under the Routing tab, select "Enable IP Forwarding" Click Finish Open YaST Control Center -> Firewall -> Masquerading Select "Masquerade Networks" and click Next, then Finish. Thanks to Stroller for the tip on what to google for. Hopefully this will work. I'll try it on my office computer tomorrow.

Well I can tell you the steps that worked for me, but I don't really feel like I know what I'm doing so I wasn't comfortable adding anything to the wiki. Feel free to do it yourself, though. I don't know exactly what those three lines do, but if I execute each of them as root in a terminal, the FreeRunner can access the internet. In fact, I made a shell script that I run every time I plug in my FreeRunner. Everything works for me if I just run the following script, as root, on the host computer running openSUSE 11.0. #/bin/bash ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -host 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0 iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT & I actually omit the "ifconfig" line because I set it up in yast like I described in an earlier e-mail. I strongly suspect if you knew what you were doing, you could set up yast (or perhaps the firewall?) so that all of this is automatic, but I haven't had time to figure out how. Right now I have to run those commands every time I plug it in. I should also mention that you probably don't need the "route" line, but my router at home uses 192.168.0.x addresses, so I need to run that command so openSUSE knows how to find the FreeRunner. Also, I have to change /etc/network/interfaces on the FreeRunner itself to get DNS working, but that's covered on the wiki and isn't OS dependent. Are there really no people on this mailing list who use SUSE and know more about this than me?

Thanks. It looks like that folder exists at /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/ although at the moment I have no idea how to make sure it only happens with usb networking.

Well, as I mentioned in my e-mail earlier today, here is what I've figured out so far. Someone who knows better should feel free to add or correct. I'll assume you're asking about connecting the Freerunner to a host computer running Suse via USB, and trying to get the Freerunner to connect to the internet, routed through the host computer. To be able to ssh into the Freerunner, it works to follow the "Manual Method" under "Connect to the Neo FreeRunner By USB Networking", typing in a console in Suse: ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] A better solution so you don't have to do this every time is to go to YaST Control Center -> Network Devices -> Network Card (or something like this. I'm using 11.0 right now and I think it had a slightly different name in 10.3. It also works to type "yast2 lan &" in a terminal as root.) There should be an entry for a USB Network Device or something similar that's probably not configured yet. Select it and click "Edit", and under the "Address" tab click "Statically assigned IP Address, enter 192.168.0.200 under "IP Adress" and 255.255.255.0 under "Subnet Mask". Click next and then finish. After that you should be able to ssh to the FreeRunner: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get Suse to route traffic from the FreeRunner to the internet you can copy and paste the "iptables" part from the Ubuntu instructions: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT & This should allow you to access IP addresses directly, and you can then follow the "Updating DNS" section to get that working, since that's all done on the FreeRunner and isn't OS specific. I had to look at /etc/resolv.conf on my host computer and use those name servers instead of the OpenDNS ones suggested in the wiki. That's all I've figured out so far, but hopefully it helps you at least get started. Matt ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: USB networking and openSUSE
Thanks for the replies. Coincidentally, right after I sent the e-mail I figured out the appropriate pieces to take out of the Getting Started tutorial that got things working for me: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT & I'll still have to figure out how to make it more permanent/automatic, but now that I know what to google for it shouldn't be a big deal. As for the collision between address spaces, I'll eventually have to figure out a way around that since my home network does use 192.168.0.x. For now I'm just trying to get it to work from my computer in my University office. I did also have to play with /etc/resolv.conf to get DNS working, but that wasn't a big deal either. Anyway, if anyone has additional useful information, feel free to chime in, but now I have much more confidence that I can get it all figured out. Thanks again for the quick replies.

USB networking and openSUSE
Hi all I seem to be unable to figure out how to get my Freerunner to connect to the internet (through a host PC connected by USB). I followed the USB Networking section of the "Getting Started" wiki page and can ssh into the Neo just fine. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the routing properly set up so the Neo can access the internet (I can't ping URL's or IP addresses except the one that belongs to the hose computer). The "Allow FreeRunner to Connect to Internet via USB" section of the Getting Started page has instructions for Ubuntu and Fedora but I'm having trouble translating them into something that works with my setup (I'm using openSUSE 11.0). Any help would be appreciated. I searched the mailing lists and wiki, but I couldn't really find anything that helped (I'm not the brightest bulb in the lamp with these sorts of things).
