GPE from Grahams Repo on the 800

Peter Bart — 2007-04-23T00:18:42

Hi Graham, I just finished installing gpe-calendar, gpe-contacts, gpe-todo, gpesyncd, bora version from your repository onto an 800. Everything went very smoothly, many thanks. The libmimedir-gnome package did not automatically install, but I was able to select it from the list of installable packages in the Application Manager. The gpe-icons does not seem to be available but I'm none the worse for it?? Calender started and immediately crashed once, subsequent starts were good, even after a reboot. Contacts and Todo started and ran fine. Thanks to your instructions I copied over the .gpe (and .bookmarks) directory so I have my data. I have done nothing yet with gpesyncd. This unit will go out Monday with instructions to report it's behavior. Thanks again for your help, as well as everyone else's on the GPE team! Best Regards,

gpe-timesheet for maemo added to my repository

Graham Cobb — 2007-04-20T16:01:29

At the suggestion of Peter Bart, I have added gpe-timesheet to my Maemo repository (see http://www.cobb.uk.net/770/index.html). I have not tested it (except to install and run it) -- please report any bugs in the GPE bugzilla. It should also appear in the daily build repository after tonight. If there are other applications in SVN which can be built for maemo let me know and I will add them as well. Graham

Problem creating a GPE image with OpenEmbedded for theNokia 770

JC — 2007-04-18T12:53:35

Hi everyone, I want to create a GPE image for the Nokia 770. I've installed monotone, bitbake and OpenEmbedded (branch=org.openembedded.org). Following the instructions given in "http://downloads.kernelconcepts.de/maemo-oe.txt", I try to apply the patch: http://downloads.kernelconcepts.de/sysvinit_2.86.bb_770.patch in the packages/sysvinit subdirectory. When I try to patch, y get this: # patch -p0 < sysvinit_2.86.bb_770.patch can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

New libmimedir and new GPE for Maemo build

Peter Bart — 2007-04-16T22:38:55

Hi Graham, I'm trying out your packages, mostly because you seem to have the only copy of gpesyncd left :-) So it would seem I'm your test subject. I've added your repository to my aplication manager but I'm having a problem installing your libopensync-plugin-syncml v0.20+svn20061128-1. The application manager is telling me it unable to install it because it's missing the package libsoup2.2-8>=2.2.98. I do have libsoup2.2 v0svn20070317maemo installed from your repository. The aplication manager won't let me install libsoup2.2-8 v2.2.93-1 from Florian's repository. Should I force the install from the CLI, and if so what commands would I use? I'm assuming I should avoid mixing these versions, but can I install the GPE time tracker from Florians repo to work with your GPE todo? I've been eagerly following your work because I want to sync with Evolution. It's come more to the front for me because I will soon have to transfer all the data from a 770 to an 800. I of course would very much like a GUI but the proof of concept you speak of is very encouraging. Thanks very much for your time and best regards.

Handheld/PDA PIM Recommendations

Peter Bart — 2007-04-12T02:08:30

Hello Everyone, I own two Nokia 770's who have done their job faithfully until I finally scratched the screen on one almost past usability. I need to replace this device with something similar that of course runs Linux. I am looking for something that will have a PIM with audible alarms on the calendar and of course all the consumer applications we have gotten so used to on the 770. That would be email, games, xjournal, leafpad, sdictionary, desktop weather and search engines, SpotYah, media player(s), Gnumeric, and some sort of sync to Evolution. Would going to the Nokia 800 be a good idea or are there better options out there? Best Regards,

PhoneME GSoC proposal

Clemens Eisserer — 2007-04-11T09:18:06

Hello, Some time ago I aked about a proposal to "port" the phoneME Java implementation to GPE enviroments. Hows the state of the proposal now that google has assigned slots to the projects? Is there a better place to discuss the Summer-of-Code proposals for handhelds.org? Thank you in advance, lg Clemens

libmimedir broken in revision 9093

Graham Cobb — 2007-04-06T23:56:56

I have been travelling this week and have just noticed that revision 9093 has broken my automatic daily builds: libmimedir does not build. The actual problem is that the modified Makefile references mimedir-recurrence-rule.c (and .h) but those files have not been added to the SVN. I have removed the references from the Makefile again so that libmimedir can now build again. Before anyone re-does the patch (providing the missing files this time), please be aware that I deliberately did not include the mimedir-recurrence-rule.c patch when I created libmimedir because it does not seem to do anything. Although the OE patch creates mimedir-recurrence-rule.c it does not seem to ever cause it to be referenced by any other code, unless I am missing something. Recurrences are definitely broken anyway (for example multiple BY clauses don't work) but this patch does not seem to change anything! If this patch actually fixes something feel free to re-apply it, remembering to SVN ADD the new files. But please check that the component builds again afterwards. I would be very interested to see a test case which does not work without the patch and which does work with the patch. Graham

Question about libeventdb

David Hautbois — 2007-04-04T20:19:41

Hi I'm writting a python application to sync GPE Calendar and Google Calendar. Actually it works fine with single events. Python has no module to use libeventdb. So, I write and read directly in the GPE Calendar database. Now I want to add the support of recurrent events. I don't understand how the exceptions of recurrent events work. I see it uses the "rexception" field in the "events" table. But I don't understand more... Can someone explain to me how this field works, or send me some good links ? Thanks. David.

Investigating further, it seems that the reason is gpe-conf, task_backlight module. When called without args, with the LCD on, it's returning: off Looking at the code, it seems to me that the function sysclass_get_power in modules/screen/brightness.c is using an incorrect sysfs file. It should be SYS_BRIGHTNESS instead of SYS_POWER, as its counterpart sysclass_set_power is using. I'm attaching a patch.

Bug-Summary

Hans-J. Ullrich — 2007-02-24T11:22:32

Hello dear maintainers, I am using GPE now for a while and tested it well. But I found some things, which do not work as expected. As these might be no real bugs, and I not always could find out, which application is responsible for it, I did not send them to bugzilla. I will send them here by now, as I think, some questions (or Bugs?) mighjt be solved on this way. Okay, lets begin: General: System: SL-C1000, Openzaurus 3.5.4.1 (akita) , ROM: The one from EWI, NOT the Hentges-ROM GPE ist installed on SD-Card, booting through altboot. Bug 1 (see report in bugzilla): GPE-appmgr cannot be installed into the taskbar. This behaviour is only in this case, when password is required to login same as user or root). When configuration is the way, that password is not requiered at login (aka "login without password"), everything works fine. Is there a rights-problem ? Bug 2: gpe-look-and feel. When coulour of the fonts has been changed, it is not possible to save the configurations. Coluor stays as it was before. This is working as user as well as root. Bug 3: Ethernet configurations I could not find a way, to set up a connection using my cell phone as modem, Maybe this is may fault. What I need is a way, to set up dial-up procedure. At ethernet configuration there was only a field, where to setup the modem initila strings and every else I need to access to the provider (just similar to the way in OPIE) Bug 4: Ethernet configuration Pressing the Button "USB-Settings" , you can change the behaviour of the USB-port. These changings neither be stored, nor altered. This behaviour is the same as user or root. Bug 4: USB The Sharp Zaurus is not been seen on my desktop-system. When connected to the USB-port with my desktop-pc, a "lsusb" on my desktop does not the Zaurus. Well, this might be no bug of GPE, but maybe it is. I just wanted to remark it.... Bug 5: Keyboard "keys improvement" As this is not a real bug, this is more a wish. the keys "shift", "Fn" , "Ctl" and "Tab" , as well as the Hotkeys "Calender", "Address" "Mail" "Home" and "Menu" do activate the SL-C1000. This is implemented in the BIOS. I found out, that by wearing the SL-C100 in the pocket, sometimes the Z is beeing reactivated through these keys. This is because sometimes the cover touches the keys (especially when you use a foil on the screen). Maybe it is possible to deactivate those keys, when the cover is closed ? Just an idea.... So, again: I cannot confirm, if these are all real bugs. These are all the things I discovered, when using GPE. Maybe some things are misconfiguration by myself. In this case, it would be nice, if you could give some feedback to me, Anyway, thank you very much for your help ! Feel free to contact me for further information. Best regards and thanks for all the work ! Hans-J. Ullrich

Configuring gpe-aerial to work with wlan0.

Eduardo N. Hering — 2007-02-02T00:54:51

Hi everybody! I'm new to this list so, as requested in the welcome message, here goes the short note: I'm a physicist. I have been working with RedHat/Fedora since 1998. I develop in Perl for Linux. I'm working on a system for data aquisition all based on linux, perl and tk. I have installed familiar inux on an ipaq 2215 using ramdisk rescue last week and it is working nicely. But I tried to run gpe-aerial and it did not work, as it is looking for a wireless interface on eth0. Can this be changed? Regards, Eduardo.
