RE: Patch to gnome-system-tools for ubuntu-mobile support
The ordering of Settings before System is purely for moblin 1.0. When it's the former way, a new group called System is created in addition to settings with only one entry, date&time. With the new ordering, date&time shows up where it's supposed to in the Settings category. It's all about how mobile-basic-flash handles reading in the desktop files. -Original Message- From: Sebastien Bacher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 1:09 PM To: Martin Pitt Cc: Brandt, Todd E; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com; Moblin Devel Subject: Re: Patch to gnome-system-tools for ubuntu-mobile support Le jeudi 08 mai 2008 à 09:59 +0200, Martin Pitt a écrit : > Hi Todd, > > CC'ing Sebastien, our GNOME master, keeping patch attached for him.

Patch to gnome-system-tools for ubuntu-mobile support
Hi all, I have removed the date and time applet from moblin-applets as our implementation doesn't appear capable of operating alongside policykit/consolkit until its usage bugs are ironed out (command line programs don't seem capable of logging in with policy kit). So for hardy, the time applet in ubuntu-mobile will be installed with the gnome-system-tools package. I made one very small change to to the 2.22.0-0ubuntu9 code which upgrades the time.desktop file so that the tool is visible on the desktop (in the same place where moblin-time was before). I've attached this patch to the email and have built version 2.22.0-0ubuntu10 on the ubuntu-mobile PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive). I saw the three emails in the To list as developers in the debian/changelog so I was hoping that one of you could help me push this change upstream into the ubuntu version. Would that be possible? 30_mobile_desktop.dpatch Description: 30_mobile_desktop.dpatch -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
UPDATE: ubuntu-mobile PPA Release Script
Hi all, I updated the ppaprepare script to do a little more processing if the git repo has a debian directory. Basically it checks to see if the git source tree, the current PPA tree, and the newly created (by uupdate) tree all have debian directories. If so, it scans the git's debian/changelog to make sure there's an entry for the current ppa version. If not, then it assumes the git's debian directory is completely out of date and does nothing. If it's found, it deletes the changelog that uupdate created (which always gets the version and platform wrong) and creates a new one with all the new data from your git/debian/changelog appended to the ppa/debian/changelog. So basically this is about as close as you can safely get to running a single command that does everything for you for a new upstream ppa release. The git repo doesn't have to be moblin, btw, it can be any Git URL supplied as the "project" argument. I have this script (and all my other scripts) in this repo on moblin.org: ssh://@moblin.org/home/repos/users/tebrandt/todds-tools.git -Original Message- From: Brandt, Todd E Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 5:04 AM To: Moblin Devel; ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: ubuntu-mobile PPA Release Script Hi all, per my AR in this week's ubuntu-mobile meeting I've created a script that extends what Inuka's script does to automate as much of the process of pushing to the PPA as possible.

RE: [Moblin Dev] ubuntu-mobile PPA Release Script
Ahh, sounds good. This is why I didn't want to make any assumptions, because things aren't yet complete on the build server side here. Here's another little script that does just a part of what ppaprepare does, ppaget just takes in a project name and fetches the source for you from ppa.launchpad.net. Inuka and Loic, we should agree on a set of formal scripts for ubuntu-mobile PPA usage. We should post these scripts somewhere so that people who don't read the instructions (like me typically :P ) can still safely use the ppa.

Weekly Status Update for moblin-applets (0.55)
This week has been dedicated to touchscreen calibration and background applet upgrades. moblin-applets (0.55) * Vast improvement of the load time for the backgrounds applet it now takes 29 seconds to load 3275 images, which means that the average user's 200 images would take's under 2 seconds. * Changed the background loading scheme. It no longer looks at thumbnails from moblin-media, it looks at the media/photo path independantly and reads in the images from scratch. This has proven to be much faster. * Image loading now happens in two phases: first the directories are read and a list of images created. This takes about 1/5 of the total load time. Then the window's treeview is populated with text only so that the user can immediately see something. Then the thumbnails are loaded in a background thread. In theory the user should be able to see thumbnails as they're populating but that part isn't working yet. -- Todd Brandt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri Apr 11 03:03:18 PDT 2008 moblin-applets (0.54) * disabled the moblin-system-daemon logging functionality, this is important since it could slow down the boot process as it tries to create a file in /var/log -- Todd Brandt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed Apr 9 04:59:17 PDT 2008 moblin-applets (0.53) * Changed the background applet behavior * Fixed the color picker dialog to automatically update the "Solid Color Background" entry to reflect the new color, select its entry, and switch the background to the solid color. * If Solid Color Background was last set, reopening the dialog will select and scroll to its item. * Added stricter parsing rules for the xorg.conf file. * The touchscreen values are now only accessed in an InputDevice section with the Identifier set to touchscreen. * Duplicate values of the calibration parameters are ignored. * BUGS FIXED * BUG: "Cannot add photos into wallpaper list" BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/213238 FIX: The package now installs a /desktop/moblin/background/thumbpaths folder in gconf and adds keys for every thumbnail cache folder the backgrounds applet should traverse looking for images. It installs two now, one for .moblin-media/thumbnails/largest and one for .realplayer/thumbnails/largest. It looks for them in /home/ume and pulls in any images named in the expected format. If there are duplicates it only takes the first found. * BUG: "Starting Touchscreen banner still exists when do nothing after launch touch screen till time out or exit calibration by ESC" BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/214380 FIX: I changed the behavior of the calibrator to always leave the min and max values in logical order (i.e. MaxX > MinX and MaxY > MinY) and to employ the use of SwapX and SwapY to handle inverted axes. The read_calibration and apply_calibration apis both still take five arguments, but instead of the last arg being rotation, it's a "flags" argument with 4 bits used: b0=SwapX, b1=SwapY, b2=RotateCCW, b4=RotateCW. The moblin-dbustest program has also been updated to read in this new data. -- Todd Brandt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon Apr 7 14:55:20 PDT 2008 moblin-applets (0.52) * Added the read_calibration function to the moblin-system-daemon API in order to allow users to retrieve the xorg.conf data for the touchscreen. It returns xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, and rotation. * Added read_calibration to the list of commands supported by moblin-dbustest. * BUGS FIXED * BUG: Touchscreen applet: if calibration wrongly and save the configuration, stylus will keep inaccurate even after correct calibration again BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/199065 FIX: There are 8 possible layouts for the touchscreen, all of which have now been tested.

The problem is that the crown beach doesn't include all this info in a single packaet like the samsung and most other platform touchscreen modules, it spreads it accross several packets.

Weekly status update for moblin-applets (0.42)
Hi all, this week was spent largely on documentation. The latest and greatest moblin-applets documentation can be found here: http://moblin.org/projects/projects_moblin-applets.php I'm also in the process of providing a sample control panel applet which demonstrates the following (as part of Lilli Szafranski's Moblin SDK): * Developing a Basic Control Panel Applet o C file shows the execute function, what headers are needed, and how to handle memory on exit o Makefile shows how to load in the libraries and how to install all the files * Proper Dialog Use o C file shows how to generate a non-modal dialog dynamically with a single close button and a text box. * Adjusting for UI resolution: 800X480, 800X600, & 1024X600 o C file shows how to read in all the screen resolutions and rotations and how to use that info for adjusting the dialog size * Working with the On-screen Keyboard o C file shows how to add a moko scroller to compensate for the smaller screen height when the keyboard is enabled * Adding Mobile Finger Widgets (Moko Scroll o Same as above * Using the Gconf Configuration Database o C file shows how to read in a gconf key and display it. I also added in Jason Caseeza's latest status bar icon images along with Bob Spencer's versions with the background removed; then fixed the look of the volume, brightness, and mixer sliders by editting the mobilebasic theme's gtkrc (and committed the changes to hildon-theme-mobile-basic package). -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

Weekly status update for moblin-applets (0.41)
This week I added all the internationalization support back into moblin-applets and enabled mobile-basic-flash to display multi-language icon texts. Essentially I regenerated a new po/POTFILES.in and po/POTFILES.skip with all the files that have and don't have translatable strings. About 50% of them haven't changed since th gnome-control-center fork, but that leaves quite a few with either fuzzy or no translations in all the languages available. The following language files are available in the po directory: af.po bg.po ca.po dz.po es.po fr.po hi.po it.po lt.po mn.po nl.po pl.po rw.po sr.po tr.po zh_CN.po am.po bn_IN.po cs.po el.po et.po ga.po hr.po ja.po lv.po mr.po nn.po pt_BR.po sk.po sv.po uk.po zh_HK.po ar.po bn.po cy.po en_CA.po eu.po gl.po hu.po ka.po mg.po ms.po nso.po pt.po sl.po ta.po vi.po zh_TW.po az.po br.po da.po en_GB.po fa.po gu.po id.po ko.po mk.po nb.po or.po ro.po sq.po te.po wa.po zu.po be.po bs.po de.po en_US.po fi.po he.po is.po ku.po ml.po ne.po pa.po ru.po [EMAIL PROTECTED] th.po xh.po Basically the translatables for moblin-applets break down into 4 groups: [Source code] * Dialogs that aren't designed in glade use gettext (#defined as _() ) to retrieve the translated string * This is in place in all the source which creates items with text visible by the user, but I haven't seen the translation actually work [Desktop config files] * The .desktop files which are pulled in by mobile-basic-flash have a field called "Name". This field can duplicated for each possible language translation. E.g. Name[de]=Persnliche Angaben. * modified mobile-basic-flash to read in the value of the LANG environment variable and to first query the .desktop file to see if a language specific version of Name exists, if not, it uses the default. This has been verified to work quite well with both application icons and applet icons. [Glade GUI descriptor files] * This is where the bulk of the translatable material resides. I see that the glade files are indeed processed by intltool, but I have yet to see any of my glade dialogs show translated language strings when the LANg env var is switched to de for instance. [Schema files] * This is for any of the gconf comments or human readable key values that will be going on the system. At the moment moblin-applets doesn't use gconf for anything human readable so no schema files are internationalized. So the tasks that remain to get moblin-applets 100% up to snuff with i18n are as follows: 1) Need to fix or at least find the proper way to verify that the source code based translations are working 2) Need to fix or at least find the proper way to verify that the glade based translations are working 3) Need to fill in all the blanks wrt all the translatable strings. Each string has 79 languages to translate into, and I don't know how we will be handling this. -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
Status update for moblin applets
February Status update for Moblin Applets Moblin Applets Documentation: Created a 37 page document describing the 10 control panel and 3 status bar applets. I will be adding this to the moblin-applets project page on moblin.org now that John has given me access to the svn repository. Touchscreen Calibration Utility: Split the utility into two pieces, one for the GUI portion, the other for the low level touchscreen driver access and xorg.conf configuration portion. The low level version now resides in a new system daemon called moblin-system-daemon which is started as root via init.d. The gui remains in the moblin-touchscreen executable. The two communicate via DBUS functions so that all the actions requiring root are carried out by the daemon. Thus there is no longer a need to log in as administrator to configure the touchscreen The touchscreen config utility now has the ability to determine the name of the xorg.conf file by scanning the /etc/event.d/session file and reading the option passed to the -config argument. This means that the samsungQ1 config file is no longer hardcoded and the applet should be more extensible to unknown platforms added the capability to add in a completely new touchscreen config section to the target xorg.conf file if it doesn't have one. This should allow any system to be configured from scratch without the need for any default config or prior knowledge of the touchscreen characteristics. removed the filter placed on the points touched on the screen which prevented users from going too far from the illuminated points. This was causing problems on the crown beach. Background Applet: Changed the background applet to no longer use an XML database to save files. It scans the moblin-media thumbnail cache for photos and populates those instead. Photos can no longer be added or removed from the background applet, they are managed from the moblin-media photo viewer exclusively. Sound Mixer Applet: The sound applet is redesigned to dynamically present volume sliders and mute buttons for every playback or capture track the sound hardware supports. It presents a notebook where each tab represents a different "track", e.g. Master, PCM, CD, Aux, Line in, etc. Within each notebook tab there are a series of controller elements instantiated for each channel available in the track. For instance if a track is mono is will have one controller element, if it's stereo it will have two, one for left and one for right. If a track is 5.1 dolby it will have 6 controller elements: front left, front right, front center, rear left, rear right, and woofer. Hardy Package Builds: Created hardy versions of moblin-applets and moblin-keyboard-manager for upload into the ubuntu-mobile repo. Moblin Applets only required a small change to the liboobs functions being used by the date & time applet as their prototypes have changed in the hardy platform's version. 25 Bugs Fixed this month: BUG: No Way to set one photo to wallpaper BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/192851 FIX: The moblin-media package changed both the thumbnail format and folder so the background applet couldn't find the images. It's been updated. BUG: "Click Background applet cause hildon desktop restart" BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/191481 FIX: Added default gconf settings for /desktop/moblin/background BUG: "Terminal font size is not consistent by different opening ways: keyboard shortcut and GUI."

I changed all the default shortcuts to use ctrl+shift+char now and they all seem to work great. BUG: "The About Me UI is disordered after input multiple lines strings in Address edit entry" BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/186955 FIX: I tried instantiating a moko finger scroller around the address text box and it behaved just as I expected, the larger moko (for the entire dialog) overrode the smaller moko and the box was unusable. So this is a catch 22, I need the entire box to be in a moko so none of the component elements can be moko (unless Frank can figure something out). Instead I changed the behavior of the scrolled window around the address box to not allow the box to be resized. If you type too many lines you get horizontal and vertica

RE: Question about battery-applet, acpid VS gnome-power-manager
Hi Michael, sorry again for missing the meeting this morning, I was pulling an all-nighter and my brain got back at me by incorporating the sound of my alarm clock into a dream. First and foremost, the reason to not use GPM was made because we had our own plans to build a mobile specific power manager called PPM: http://moblin.org/projects_ppm.php Initially we didn't know what license we were approved for so we began writing everything from scratch. I actually still don't know if the license is compatible with GPLv2, so that rules out merging with GPM. Eventually there will be some nifty LPIA specific power optimizations in there that will make the jump from GPM worth it in the mobile domain. I actually just pulled out the code for the battery and brightness applets from GPM to make the moblin-applets versions (giving credit in the copyright file of course), and hacked them way way down to run in a hildon environment. The GPM code natively uses libbonobo and the PanelApplet class to instantiate applets, and neither or those will work in a hildon environment. To convert them to hildon status bar applets I tore out all the PanelApplet stuff and based gave the applet objects GtkButton parents and then made them conform to the Hildon status bar API spec. So basically the GPM battery and brightness applets are this big: |---|, and I made them this big for moblin: |---|. Hope that helps, the caffeine is slowly kicking in. -Original Message- From: Michael Frey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 10:10 AM To: ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Cc: Brandt, Todd E Subject: Question about battery-applet, acpid VS gnome-power-manager Todd, I was just wondering if you could explain the decision to use acpid / custom battery applet instead of using the existing gnome-power-manager? The gnome-power-manager already has a status bar applet that works quite well and would avoid duplicate code and less maintenance. Gnome-power-manager already also handles listening to hal events for things like power button etc.. for suspend / shutoff tasks. It might be worth looking into.

The core of the problem is moblin-applets, which depends on libgnomekbd1. libgnomekbd1 depends on a particular version of libgnomekbd-common which doesn't exist any more, so it all falls over. This is a normal occurrence, since libgnomekbd has undergone an API and ABI change, and as such the package name has changed from libgnomekbd1 to libgnomekbd2. The problem now is that the moblin-applets in Hardy is 0.9, which doesn't build against the new libgnomekbd. Neither does the current git tree, so I am attaching a patch that corrects cause of the build failure. I've also test-built a moblin-applets against Gutsy, and it builds fine as well, so I suspect the code in question wasn't needed.

Moblin-applets Status
Hi all, If you get a chance, try rebuilding a new target, or at least upgrade to 0.13 moblin-applets. I've added a mixer control which uses ALSA to populate a list of the most useful tracks on simple sound cards. It's a single dialog that uses notebook pages for each track instead of just displaying them all messily from left to right. I've also added HUGE buttons because I'm tired of scrounging for my pen to tap the little volume buttons in the status bar. I want the user to be able to just smack away at this with their fingers and have no issues. Also, all of the tracks have independent left and right controls for volume and mute, so I added a sync button for each to allow the user to control left/right in unison (just like in the ubuntu version but in a different style). The code uses ALSA to populate a list of all the tracks that have playback volume or switch controls, then scans for 4 key tracks which I think will make the most sense to provide to the user: Master (PCM), Speakers (Front), Microphone (Mic), and Headphones (Headphone): To see a full list of the tracks the system supports just install alsa-utils, and run amixer, it will show all the tracks which fall into three primary types: playback, capture, and input source. For now I've just included the playback tracks because the devices we currently have aren't that complex, but we can easily add on other tracks in the future. The Samsung has the following: PCM: I call this "Master" because it has the widest range and no mute switches, it seems designed to control the underlying volume that gets channeled to the other tracks like spearkers and headphones. Front: This guy I call "Speakers" because it just controls the two front speakers on the Samsung, and it has both volume and mute controls Microphone: I included the Micrphone playback track which includes both volume and mute capability, it seems to work ok as the input to the mic gets sent out over the speakers and headphones just fine, however I still haven't gotten arecord to function yet. Headphones: The included a headphone track which has no volume slider (the Fron volume slider seems to also affect headphones, but it does have independent mute switches. Ideally I'd like to get PPM to control the Front and Headphone Mute buttons manually whenever the "Headphone plugged" ACPI event is received. That way it will react as a normal devidce does when using headphones. I have compiled all the basic functions I use for controlling the sound via ALSA into a library called libvolumecontrol.so and it's placed in /usr/share/moblin-applets. So if the PPM guys want to try to load it in and do some tests, have at it. The header file is in the moblin-applets source tree at libvolumecontrol/volume.h. If anyone makes the request I can turn this library into a standard runtime library with a dev version with header files for easy programming and use since ALSA is a pain in the butt to understand with so little documentation. I still have to make some small glade cosmetic improvements like disabling the volume controls if ALSA determines that the track doesn't have them. For instance the Headphones tab has volume controls but they just don't do anything at the moment. - | Todd Brandt - Intel Oregon | |Linux for Mobile Internet Devices (MID)| | 2111 W NE 25th Ave| |Hillsboro, OR 97124 JF1-235| |---| | "Of all the things I've lost, I miss | |my mind the most" - Mark Twain | - ___ dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.moblin.org/mailman/listinfo/dev -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

Moblin-applets status
Very short update: Held a review of the moblin-applets feature set through the moblin mailing list and the overwhelming response was that we have way more features than we need. Thus, this week I've been chopping the applets down to the bare minimum of features for use on a mobile device.

Bob, the behavior I've seen is that without the line in statusbar.conf, the applet won't show up at all even with a desktop file in /usr/lib/hildon-status-bar. You brought up a good point though, perhaps the resolution of this issue is a simple fix to hildon-desktop to load applets regardless of whether they're in statusbar.conf or not. Maybe just stick them at the end of the bar after the ordered ones are loaded. -Original Message- From: Spencer, Bob Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 12:10 PM To: Tollef Fog Heen; ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com; Brandt, Todd E Subject: RE: Moblin-applets Tollef Fog Heen wrote: > * Matthew Garrett > >> There's a couple of issues with moblin-applets that I'd prefer to >> discuss before getting it into the archive.

RE: Moblin-applets
I would gladly make the change to the hildon-desktop code to pull in a statusbar.d directory, however I'm not sure the owner would agree to accept it and it may take a while to push upstream. I can take the AR to ping the maemo folks about it though. As for the sudoers issue, there are currently three "applications" that need to be granted root access to be run by ume: network-admin and time-admin from the gnome-system-tools package, and moblin-touchscreen which edits the xorg conf file. All three are executed by a call to g_spawn_async with gksu as the command and the argument as one of the aforementioned three apps. Without the sudoers edit they cause the password request screen to pop up, which, while a minor inconvenience on desktop environments, is a major hassle on a mobile device, particularly as most mobile users won't even be aware of or care about accounts or passwords. If editing /etc/sudoers directly is unacceptable, perhaps we can work to upgrade the sudo package to provide a safe, standard infrastructure for allowing specific users to execute specific processes as root without a password. Maybe a sudoers.d directory which includes more complex data files that tie user ids to executables as well as the packages they're installed in. I'm just hesitant to create some sort of moblin-applets root settings daemon which will require intimate knowledge of packages we don't control (gnome-system-tools for instance). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tollef Fog Heen Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 4:29 AM To: ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: Re: Moblin-applets * Matthew Garrett | There's a couple of issues with moblin-applets that I'd prefer to | discuss before getting it into the archive.

RE: Is there any plan of adding screen saver feature for moblin?
Hi Peter, that's probably a ppm function since it depends on factors such as remaining power and the current use case (for instance if you're listening to music then the screen should be toggled off quickly, vs watching video where it must remain on).

moblin-applets status update
Volume status bar applet: Added a volume status bar icon and slider based on the mixer applet from the gnome-applets package. Removed the bonobo and PanelApplet interfaces and replaced them with the Hildon status bar API. Also removed all dependencies on gstreamer and replaced it with direct calls to the /dev/mixer device. Screen Brightness status bar applet: Added a screen brightness status bar icon and slider based on the brightness applet from the gnome-power-manager package. Removed the bonobo and PanelApplet interfaces and replaced them with the Hildon status bar API. Also removed any dependencies on the gnome power manager and replaced the low level brightness calls with DBUS calls directly to HAL. Touchscreen configuration control panel applet: Danny Varner has been working on adding a touchscreen configuration utility to moblin-applets. He has identified the evtouch calibration utility as the best source base and has adapted it for use on moblin. The utility will make changes to xorg-samsungq1ultra.conf and control the /dev/touchscreen driver. Soft Keyboard support in the keyboard control panel applet: Jian Han has added a new tab to the keyboard configuration applet which allows for configuration of the soft keyboard. The user can select whether or not to autolaunch the soft keyboard and can select its layout. - | Todd Brandt - Intel Oregon | |Linux for Mobile Internet Devices (MID)| | 2111 W NE 25th Ave| |Hillsboro, OR 97124 JF1-235| |---| | "Of all the things I've lost, I miss | |my mind the most" - Mark Twain | - -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

Moblin Applets (moblin-utilities) Status Update
[General] * moblin-applets inclusion in ubuntu: John V and I have been cleaning up the moblin-applets package in order to get it moved into ubuntu gutsy. Major changes include moving binaries around, renaming libraries, cleaning up the debian scripts, and adding a man page. Alexander Sack will be looking over the package tomorrow and will decide if it's ready to go. * moblin-settings-daemon: is now started up automatically, so keybindings work immediately. * added a new launcher application which can execute any of the control panel applets individually without having to open the control panel. It's named /usr/bin/moblin-applets. * gconf dbus: spoke with Bob about whether or not we should try to upgrade gconf to the dbus enabled version in order to eliminate the need for CORBA. We decided it can wait until we're using the gconf settings a little more aggressively so that we can compare the speeds. [Applet Updates] Keybindings: * changed the default keybindings to -key to --key since the former ones were interfering with some apps, e.g. emacs. Theme Switcher: * currently investigating how much needs to be changed from the gnome-control-center version of theme switcher (which used gnome-desktop) to be able to function under hildon-desktop. Network: * added /usr/bin/network-customize to the build so that nm-applet can launch the network configuration dialog when "manual configuration" is selected. - | Todd Brandt - Intel Oregon | |Linux for Mobile Internet Devices (MID)| | 2111 W NE 25th Ave| |Hillsboro, OR 97124 JF1-235| |---| | "Of all the things I've lost, I miss | |my mind the most" - Mark Twain | - -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
Patch to nm-applet for custom net config exec
Hi Alex, this is my attempt to add a customizable network configuration call to nm-applet. Basically it first checks for /usr/bin/network-customize, and if it exists, it executes it. If it doesn't exist it calls network-admin. I changed moblin-applets to install two new files: /usr/bin/moblin-applets: this is the wrapper binary which can call any control panel application given its name. e.g. "moblin-applets network" pops up the network configuration dialog. /usr/bin/network-customize: this is just a 1 line executable text file with the line "moblin-applets network" in it. I've tested it here and it seems to work great. Let me know if this is an acceptable change or not, thanks! - | Todd Brandt - Intel Oregon | |Linux for Mobile Internet Devices (MID)| | 2111 W NE 25th Ave| |Hillsboro, OR 97124 JF1-235| |---| | "Of all the things I've lost, I miss | |my mind the most" - Mark Twain | - 13_custom-network-admin.diff Description: 13_custom-network-admin.diff -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

This daemon is based on the gnome version's code but will have all the pieces moblin doesn't need stripped out. It currently functions only to support the keybindings functionality using a new set of gconf keys edittable by the keybindings applet. [Applet Updates] Keybindings: * moblin-settings-daemon added to support capture and application of keybindings. * New gconf keys added for support of moblin-specific shortcuts and applications. * The only remaining issue is that moblin-settings-daemon doesn't start automatically.

Hi, The default values are coming from the .schemas shipped with the packages. The multimedia keyboard shorcuts come from apps_gnome_settings_daemon_keybindings.schemas in capplets-data for example. The schemas are not used directly by gconf but applied during the package installation. On Debian and Ubuntu the easier way to modify the default value of a key is to create gconf-defaults, you can read the gconf2 README.Debian which has some details or look to the gnome-control-center libgnome or nautilus packages if you want examples. The format is simple enough, you just have to list the keys and their values Cheers, Sebastien Bacher -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

GConf settings for moblin
Attached is an open office spreadsheet with a list of the gconf keys that the control panel applets are known to use; meaning if you want some of these settings to affect your application now, attach a callback for the given key and it should work. If there are keys you already have and want the control panel to configure, or you want to change some of the ones listed, please speak up. The default values for all of these are installed with gconf2-common from the feisty build. The gutsy version of gconf2-common seems to have many of these removed, which is why some of the applets don't populate as expected when started (for instance the keyboard shortcuts applet has nothing in it because it seems the gnome-settings-daemon section of the gutsy gconf default database has been removed). I think in the short term we may want to fork a version of gconf2-common that installs our own defaults, then push our changes back upstream when the database has been pretty well established.

Hi Dandan, I've just attached a slightly modified version of the patch which can be applied directly to the lsb-base package's files after they've already been installed on a target (this happens automatically when you create a target). First create a target, then before you install any fsets, run these commands: > cd /usr/src/projects//targets//fs/etc > cat /lsb-target-fix.patch | patch This will patch the file: /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh, which is the installed version of the file lsbfix.patch fixes (the lsb-base install just changes the name from lsb-base-logging-ubuntu.sh to lsb-base-logging.sh and copies it to /etc) In order to apply lsbfix.patch you have to get the lib-base package source: > apt-get source lib-base > cd lsb-3.1 > cat /lsbfix.patch | patch -p1 Then you would rebuild the lsb-base package and install it on the target.

When network-manager is installed it runs a post install script that restarts the NetworkManager service. This script calls the log_daemon_msg function to print out a little message to the effect of "restarting network manager service... ". Log_daemon_msg is a function defined in /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh and it attempts to display the message in a fancy way on the terminal screen. To do this it gathers info on how many columns there are by calling "tput cols", which it just assumes returns a valid number. This is the bug. For some reason, "tput cols" returns -1 when it's called from apt-get from within a moblin-image-creator target root. This ends up getting processed and given back to tput as an argument later on and the "-" causes tput to barf because it thinks the number is an option that doesn't exist. This patch adds a check to ensure that the column value is usable. The script already defaults to 80 columns if "tput cols" returns nothing, so I just expanded that case to include returns of 6 columns or less.

RE: Moblin Applets Status Update
Actually this brings up a great point, we should define a minimum screen resolution and font size that the moblin UI should function within. Is 800x480 as small as we'll ever go?

Moblin Applets Status Update
Hi all, sorry I missed the weekly meeting this morning, here's my status update: Existing Applets * Network Proxy - online and functional * About Me - online and functional, modified the GUI to fit more easily on 1024x600 screen * Background Properties - online and functional * Font - online and functional * Screen Resolution - online and functional * Sound Properties - online and functional, however hasn't been tested for ALSA driver compliance * Keybindings - online, but currently can't see all the keys, this is being root caused Applets Added Since Last Week * Keyboard Properties - Taken from gnome control center, Jian Han is the new owner of this applet and will be adding in soft keyboard support * Menu & Toolbars - online, but currently the settings don't take, this is being root caused * Network Admin - online but not yet functional, this is the GUI front end for the NetworkManager daemon and hasn't yet been tested on real hardware. Raji Bommaraju is the new owner of network management on moblin and is in the process of testing these tools. * Date and Time - online but not yet functional, both this and the Network Admin applet come from the gnome-system-tools package which, like gnome-control-center, was designed to support applets as separate processes. The Gnome-system-tools code has taken the extra step of consolidating all the process instantiation code into a common library, making it harder to convert to the hildon-contol-panel framework, but I'm making good progress. Applets Expected For Next Week * Volume Control status bar applet: This is Tariq Shureih's code which will be added in to a new directory alongside capplets in the moblin-applets tree: sapplets. * Screen Brightness control panel applet: This is also Tariq's code and will be merged into moblin applets.

Patch for ControlPanel
Hi all, this is regarding the bug in the control panel in the moblin environment. From: Brandt, Todd E Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 11:58 PM To: Han, Jian; Spencer, Bob; Li, Horace; Li, Frank; Xu, Bo B; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Patch for ControlPanel Jian, I found an easier way to produce the same results your patch provided. First, for those on the list unfamiliar with the bug, here's an intro: When running the hildon-desktop environment either in Xephyr or on a Samsung device the hildon-control-panel can be accessed by double clicking the control panel icon. The control panel window will appear but looks empty because it's not being properly allocated. So even if you have cp applets installed, they won't appear and are unusable. Applying this patch fixes the problem. To create a fixed version of hildon-control-panel perform the following steps in a moblin project root environment: %> cp /hcp-fix.patch . %> apt-get source hildon-control-panel %> cd hildon-control-panel-1.9.5 %> cat ../hcp-fix.patch | patch -p1 %> ./autogen.sh %> ./configure prefix=/usr %> make %> make DESTDIR=/targets//fs install Now you should be able to run the GUI in your target root and the control panel should now function properly. The issue seems to be in src/hcp-grid.c where the size_request member function of the control panel's window widget is overwritten from its default. The default for this member function is GTK's gtk_icon_view_size_request, but is redirected to the custom function hcp_grid_size_request. The purpose of this function seems to be to calculate the height and width needed for the widget and write it to the requisition variable as output. hcp_grid_size_request seems to try to optimize how much space is taken but misses the mark, where the default gtk_icon_view_size_request just gives the caller exactly what they asked for. So the fix is just to revert back to the GTK's default function, and voila, the entire control panel window displays normally. From: Han, Jian Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 11:37 PM To: Spencer, Bob; Brandt, Todd E; Li, Horace; Li, Frank; Xu, Bo B Subject: Patch for ControlPanel Hi, All I have created a patch for control panel. Fix the problem of conflict between control panel and gtk 2.11. This patch follows the thought of Frank which avoid the implement of one line in gtk_icon_view. For the method I use in the patch is something like a hacker, I am not sure whether I should push it into moblin.org. I hope someone help me to check the code before I submit the patch. The attachment contains three objects: patch , the whole project tar ball and the compiled control panel. I have test the code with Bo's sampleapplet and nokia's hello world applet. It seems work well. Any problem, Please let me know!
