[android] strong echo with buzz-fixed A6

2009-07-16 Thread Thomas Otterbein
Hi,

I installed Koolu's Android Betra 7 on my recently buzz-fixed Freerunner A6. It 
has the well known echo problem now. On the lists and forums I could find only 
solutions (dbus commands) for other distros. However I hope similar settings 
may help on Android too, just that I have no idea on how to apply them. :-)

Can anyone possibly drop me a hint?

Thanks in advance
  thomas

Re: OpenMoko + Exchange

As far as I know to be a native Exchange-Client Evolution requires a non-free-
plugin. But even if you purchase it I doubt that the plugin will work on OM.

However Exchange speaks IMAP and IMAP allows to place contacts and 
appointsments into it's folders. I know of mixed environments (Mac/Win) where 
people use it for common calendars. However I've never had the chance to test 
it myself as I lack access to a Exchange-Server and it's Admin (I don't 
believe it is available by default). If the latter is not an issue for you I 
suggest KDE's KMail for a proof-of-concept test as I'm sure it supports IMAPs 
extended functions.

After a successful test you only have to find a good IMAP-client and probably 
need to extend it only just a bit to do the trick...

[2008.testing] several package problems

2009-01-04 Thread Thomas Otterbein
Hi,

I'm using last year's latest testing kernel and rootfs (build 2008-12-31) from 
downloads.openmoko.org/daily and have added "The bleeding edge" testing 
repository in /etc/opkg/testing.conf as described on 
wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Download. No further changes, like other theme etc., 
applied (yet).

1. Problem

Comic-Reader can be installed but does come up with an "Application run 
error". Started from a terminal it shows:

DEBUG: (comic_main.c, 233): main: Comic book directory is: 
/usr/share//comic_reader/comic/
/usr/bin/comic_reader: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/comic_reader: undefined 
symbol: evas_list_append

I guess I need to install some other packages but I can't find any hint which 
one that would be. Any clues?

2. Problem
FBReader seems to be available in a laopter revision.

opkg list | grep -i fbreader shows:

fbreader - 0.8.2a-r5 - FBreader is an ebook reader
fbreader - 0.8.2a-r7+elleopatches -
fbreader-dbg - 0.8.2a-r5 - FBreader is an ebook reader
fbreader-dev - 0.8.2a-r5 - FBreader is an ebook reader
fbreader-doc - 0.8.2a-r5 - FBreader is an ebook reader
fbreader-locale - 0.8.2a-r5 - FBreader is an ebook reader

However trying to install one of them by opkg install fbreader shows:

Multiple packages (fbreader and fbreader) providing same name marked HOLD or 
PREFER.  Using latest.
Multiple packages (fbreader and fbreader) providing same name marked HOLD or 
PREFER.  Using latest.
Installing fbreader (0.8.2a-r7+elleopatches) to root...
Collected errors:
 * ERROR: Package fbreader (parent fbreader) is not available from any 
configured src.
 * Failed to download fbreader. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?

Again a missing or not anymore existing packages I guess. But How do I solve 
such issues in opkg? For example how do I force it to use the earlier version? 
The option -force-downgrade does not seem to make any difference. Neither does 
opkg update, as stated in the error message nor a more drastic approach of 
deleting the cache in /var/lib/opkg/*.

3. Problem
OMoney does not start because of missing module optparse from OptionParser. 
However I solved this problem accidentally by installing Tichy. But my 
question is if I run into such a problem what would be the best way to solve 
it? A opkg list | grep -i python did not show any package that has either 
"optparse" or "OptionParser" in it's name or description.

BTW. none of the installed Tichy applications does start but I guess in it's 
early state of development that is too much to expect... ;-)

I would be gratefull for any hints you can provide me with. As a Debian-User I 
thought I would be able to resolve these issues but it seems that I'm not yet 
experienced enough with my four week old Freerunner.

Best Regards
  thomas
