Re: Hildon application porting question

2008-06-06 Thread Adilson Oliveira
Spencer, Bob escreveu:
 
 Is there a way to setup configure.ac so that it automatically sets the
 USE_HILDON flag if building for LCIA?  I know how to set up a
 configure.ac that will check for --enable-hildon flag, but for UME I
 thought I recall that if LCIA arch then always USE_HILDON.  I don't know
 exactly how to do this or if we ever decided on a standard.
 

Hi Bob.

I usually add this rule to debian/rules

ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH), lpia)
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS = --enable-hildon
endif

Which causes the congiure be called with an extra --enable-hildon in
case the lpia arch is being build.

This, plus something like that in configure.ac or configure.in

hildon=false
HILDON_CFLAGS=
HILDON_LIBS=

AC_ARG_ENABLE(hildon,AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-hildon],[Turn on hildon
support]),[
   if test x$enableval = xyes; then
  hildon=true
  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(HILDON,[hildon-1],
   HAVE_HILDON=yes,HAVE_HILDON=no)

  HILDON_CFLAGS=$HILDON_CFLAGS -DWITH_HILDON=1
  PACKAGE_CFLAGS=$PACKAGE_CFLAGS $HILDON_CFLAGS
  PACKAGE_LIBS=$PACKAGE_LIBS $HILDON_LIBS
   fi
])

Will enable a HAVE_HILDON flag you can test in building time to enable
or disable your changes for the lpia arch.
Check some of my sources. I've done all kinds of combinations using
autotools or just makefiles.

Moblin and UME are different projects. Moblin is, partially, UME's

* Tested several different combinations to interface and present things
that could be interesting to be kept visible to the user as a clock,
calendar or a weather applet. The problem is that the current way to
present the menu enters in the way and takes the whole home space. The
native home applets work well thought and it's an alternative to the

 Right-click:
 
 My touchscreen uses the evtouch driver, and the way it implements right
 click is it waits for you to double click somewhere, and it then
 simulates a right click instead. I think then a triple click simulates a
 double click... but, in any case, it works rather well.  Implementing
 something like that at the X server level or driver level would probably
 be the way to go -- and the code for doing that would be pretty simple
 to do.
 

Hi

I was checking the evtouch driver yesterday and the idea is OK but I'm
thinking in a way to make it a little more compatible with the usual way
to do things, trying not to translate one type of click into other.
The evtouch don't expose the full state machine provided by evlib. If
so, things like long touch and one-and-half tap can make a better
interface in my opinion, emulating the way other OSs work. For instance,
to solve my own problem with rdesktop:
* long touch = right click
* tripple tap = toggle panning or
 * tap-and-drag = drag
This won't be too hard to do.

2008-02-27 Thread Adilson Oliveira
Hi there.

Those last few days my work related to UME was:
* Adapt OpenOffice to be able export documents to PDF from command line.
This is done basically by a macro that formats the input file, pass it
through openoffice filters and saves as a PDF. The reson behind this is
to allow evince to view MS Office documents. This was particulary
troublesome because of the sheer size and complexity of openoffice. To
make things worse, during this process some specific changes needed to
be done applying partially a patch from the official maintainer so it
could build correctly on PPA.
* Created a small launcher application called treb (short for
trebuchet) that is basically an openfile-type dialog that will let the
user select a file and will automatically filter it using OpenOffice and
pass it to be read by Evince.

James D Bearden escreveu:
 Hello Folks,
 
 I perused the mail list archives looking for an answer to a question,
 and I see a fair number of people asking basically the same thing (two
 unanswered questions on roughly the same topic in November alone) but no
 answers. Can somebody please answer the following for inquiring minds:
 
 Can we please have an official Generic i386 platform? My personal need
 is a bunch of old laptops and tablets laying around the house that I
 would love to breath some new life into. I know that UMPC machines are
 the focus and generic i386 machines are not the focus of Ubuntu UME, but
 there is no other comparable solution for older hardware. I would love
 to have, and would offer to host, a Ubuntu UME ISO image for a generic
 i386 platform if somebody would cough one up for me occasionally.
 
 Failing that can somebody mention in a FAQ or wiki why that would be
 such a horrible idea and why it is not going to happen so people will
 stop asking questions like this? I understand the machine would be
 sluggish, maybe even unusuable. But can somebody at least try it once?
 

Hi James.

It's not an such a horrible idea at all but the same reason that this
won't happen soon, at least as an official effort, as you said, is the
same reason why we will not have a PDA version or a cellphone
version (to quote some of the requests I've heard): we don't have
currently the resources for that.
Canonical sponsors the development of this project but we have to keep
the focus to what this project was created for: UMPC-type machines as
you noticed. It doesn't mean that we will not have it something as you
want, we can't just make any promises right now.
Now that I told you why not, let me tell you how :) : the UME is quite
generic in the sense that it runs in a common x86 platform so, if you
cook-up a suitable kernel, you won't have much problems running the
other elements. Some compilation parameters will have to be changed or
you will have to force-install the packages to have the correct
interface but that's basically all you'll have to do.
Why don't you give it a shot or start a project yourself? It's fun and
you will be not only filling your own need but also contribute something
back to the community pool.

Re: What about a shutdown/hibernate button?

2007-09-19 Thread Adilson Oliveira
Levinson, Aaron N escreveu:
 Based on how people are using the Nokia Internet tablets, many of them
 let the device go to sleep rather than shutting it down.  It takes some
 time to power-up and reboot the device, so for many users, it is
 preferable to let the device go to sleep, even if it is a light sleep
 that is drawing from the battery.  On the Nokia Internet tablets, there
 is a special hardware button that pops up a menu that provides various
 options, such as locking the device, putting it into airplane mode
 (Bluetooth and wireless are disabled), and shutting down the device.
 This might also be a reasonable approach for MIDs.  This button is also
 used to turn the device on (after being shutdown), and holding the
 button down for several seconds will cause the device to instantly
 shutdown, which is useful in case of a freeze.

That's the kind of approach I was thinking (I have a N770 myself) and I
agree that's the expected behavior of the user.

 
 Hibernate would be great, but I'm not aware of hibernate functionality
 on Linux, only on Windows.  Is hibernation planned for MIDs?
 

I'm not aware about the power management specs from the top of my head

 PowerPoint is a key file format, and robust support for all Office formats

Exactly. We're in a tight spot here. In time we can aways use

Applications on the way

2007-08-17 Thread Adilson Oliveira
Hi.

A few news from the front.
We already have a lpia arch rootstrap and we are adding support files
and applications to it.
In the line we already have claws (email), dates (part of Pimlico) and
stardict.
The idea is to all the applications built for lpia to be fully
hildonized but sharing the same code with i386 so just change the arch
and you have a different interface (build time). Those 3 are already
that way.
As many of the applications on the list have some sort of hildonization,
so to speak, much more will show-up next week.

[]s and have a nice weekend.

Adilson.

Dates (part of PIM) is now hildonized and working.

2007-08-13 Thread Adilson Oliveira
Hi guys.

I had a good day today :) Our first hildonized application is up and
running. It's Dates, part of Pimlico, our PIM of choice.
Now that I believe that I dominated that matter, the other applications
should start to come out very fast.
Tomorrow I'll organize the hackadom, create proper packaging and start
spill out the rest of the applications.

 Did you have to hack on the existing Hildon port at all, or did you just
 package it up.  Did you notice the existing Maemo packaging on
 maemo.debian.org (although it is trivial to package with cdbs)?
 

Hello.

I did have to hack it a little bit because there were a few changes in
the headers' organization like
#include hildon/hildon-window.h versus
#include hildon-widgets/hildon-window.h
and some deprecated hildon functions being used like
hildon_time_editor_show_seconds() instead of
hildon_time_editor_set_show_seconds()
Nothing serious.

 Do you have a driver for the webcam on the Q1?  The stock 2.6.22
 driver does not seem to detect it, at least.
 

AFAIK, nobody has it but it seems to be a very close one to the zc0301
so shouldn't be difficult to adapt the current SPCA driver to use it.

Re: I tested the latest build on various UMPCs

Steve Paine wrote:

Hi

 Are you guys going to get hold of the other McCaslin devices (Fujitsu
 U1010, Kohjinsha SH6) and get things working on that or is this distro
 only for Samsung Q1Ultra?
 Support for Q1 and Q1P would be good though as that's the most popular UMPC.

Of course the idea is to cover the largest possible hardware base, not
only including McCaslin. Right now we are focusing on Q1 because it's
the device we have available for testing.

 
 I'll continue testing on the SH6. If anyone fancies helping me install
 touch and wifi modules, please do!
 

I didn't find the detailed specs of this SH6. Would you care to tell us?

 If you need deeper hardware info, let me know. I can maybe get you the
 dmesg output if its useful. Also happy to do futher testing and be
 remote hands for this device. Just let me know.


It's quite an interesting machine but yes, I would need more detailed
information as the page you pointed me to (actually, I found this one
before) don't tell me, for instance, what's the wifi chipset and that
was one of the things you were'nt able to make work.

IRC Meeting - 02/08/2007

2007-08-02 Thread Adilson Oliveira
Hi.

Those are the notes for the meeting today.

= Specs =

The ones still in trouble are:

 * mobile-utils - Blocked
ACTION: The mobile-utils is now in review. Adilson will take care of
that in Tollef's place.
 * power profile manager - Need work
ACTION: Rusty will continue it.
 * power thermal optimizations - Need work
ACTION: Need input from Amit who will have the data after a meeting with
Intel next week.

= Daily Builds =

It was raised that the build process is broken.
ACTION: Adilson will track down the problem and report back as soon as
it's fixed.

= Themes =

Ken is worried about the theming process as the deadline approaches we
don't have a good way to do it.
The idea is to do the same way Nokia does, have one big picture and an
automated process prepares the required components.
I told them that there is some tools that Nokia uses to do it but they
need a bit of work.
Also Ken will need to work on the Flash-based front as it's what's
required by OEMs.
ACTION: Horace Li from Intel will take a look on the Nokia tools.
ACTION: Ken will buy a Flash development package and work on the interface.

= Hardware availability =

It was settled that the 2 Crown Beach boards available will be sent to
Tollef and Amit.
ACTION: Amit will send an updated address to Mauri Whalen.
Adilson's Q1 have not arrived yet.
ACTION: Mauri Whalen will check with Intel Brazil what's going on.

= Kernel =

Intel provided a SDIO-MSS patch that Amit will merge as soon as he
finishes the DRM.
It was noted that the LPIA kernel is running slowly when accessing disks.
ACTION: Rob Rhoads is already checking the problem.

= Applications =

Adilson received a list from Intel with the applications required and
sorted and concluded that we have everything needed in a more or less
complete way and what's needed now is the man power to bring it up to a
working state.
ACTION: It was requested that the people working on the applications on
Intel to keep sync with Adilson in order to coordinate the efforts.

So looks like you weren't able to get the proper index files from the
repositories thus causing a dependency error that couldn't be resolved.
I just tested here and worked nicelly.
Maybe you had a temporary network problem. Can you try again?

I've being creating a list[1] of basic applications to be included in

Take a look at this first draft and be my guest to criticize, opine,
