Alessandro: /* My Package Repository */ Added pointer to litebootchartd sources

==About me==

My name is Alessandro Iurlano (IRC: Ghiottone). I'm a linux user and sysadmin since at least ten years and an expert C developer.

My projects include a hobby operating system (http://osso.sourceforge.net) and a custom search engine for OS development ([http://aiurlano.netsons.org/osdev/]).

For OpenMoko I have a web page with a search engine related to OpenMoko at [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/]

My first OpenMoko program:

[http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipkgorphan_0.0.1-r0_armv4t.ipk ipkgorphan] (source [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipkgorphan.src.tar.gz here])

==My Package Repository==

You can download my packages via ipkg by adding a configuration file (its name must end with .conf) in /etc/ipkg/ for my repository.
The lines to add are:

src/gz aiurlano-armv4t http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipk/armv4t
src/gz aiurlano-all http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipk/all

or just download the conf file directly into your Neo's /etc/ipkg/ directory with:

wget -O /etc/ipkg/aiurlano-armv4t-feed.conf http://aiurlano.netsons.org/aiurlano-armv4t-feed.conf.txt

The list of packages included in my repo is:
* ipkgorphan
* settingsgui ([http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SettingsGUI web] [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/settingsgui.bb.tar.gz bb source])
* smstool ([http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SMSTool web])
* free42
* ipkg-link
* synergy
* bootchart
* litebootchart (my optimized version [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/Sources/litebootchartd.tar.gz sources here])
* bash
* prelink
* mokostats
* cellwriter
* epdfview
* x11vnc

If you would like to see a new package or an updated one here just drop me an email.

Tips collected from IRC:

Tip to mount jffs images (yet to be tested)

# modprobe loop
# modprobe mtdblock
# losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/imagefile.jffs2
# insmod blkmtd erasesz=256 device=/dev/loop0
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt

Something about binary locale generation

put ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "0" in your local.conf file

==NOTES==

For users behind an http web proxy, life is hard. Openembedded cannot get updated because monotone does not support proxies. Subversion however does, both with http and https.
So, there are some commands to use only when you are directly connected to the internet:

make setup-openembedded
make update-openembedded

They are called as part of make setup and make update, respectively. They will update the timestamps in the stamps directory.

make update-openmoko does an svn update. It will work after setting up the proxy server in ~/.subversion/servers
Should your http proxy not allow PROPFIND method, you can try switchin to https. To do this you have to change the mokomakefile to do https checkouts and switch existing workdirs to https with svn switch --relocate http://URL https://URL

Open hand repository has a configuration for https that requires you to have their certificate installed and thus their software is not updatable behind a proxy

Best thing to do is to do a
. setup.env; cd build; bitbake -cfetchall openmoko-devel-image

from a place without proxy and try to solve further issue when compiling behind a proxy using the above tricks.

==BOOT PHASE==

I have run the bootchart tool on OpenMoko.
Results are pretty strange. CPU usage is always 100% and flash memory usage is always zero.
It seems that the processor is really used at 100% but flash memory statistics are not given by the kernel.

The result is shown here:

[[Image:Bootchart1.png|center|thumb|800px]]

I have modified the bootchart package so that some things are done by a C programs and not by the shell script. This way bootchart is much faster as it skip the processes creation needed for each step of the shell script. This new package name is litebootchart and it is available in my repository.

This is the result of my first optimization:

[[Image:LiteBootchart1.png|center|thumb|800px]]

Nice! - could you test that without ldconfig and portmap? greetings --[[User:Kriss|kriss]] 22:36, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

User talk:Alessandro

2007-10-04T00:39:07Z

Alessandro: /* elfutils fails to install; conflicts with busybox */ Added instruction on how to fix elfutils problem

== Settingsgui bug ==
I added your repository (it took four tries because it's very poorly documented that the
file name in /etc/ipkg/ has to end in ".conf"!), ran ipkg update, and installed settingsgui.
This didn't seem to create any way to RUN it from the screen (perhaps you have to reboot? I
wasn't willing to do that, seemed too much like Microsoft. My old Zaurus was able to install
apps without rebooting.)

----
The desktop file that the packages installs has to be read by the openmoko application list program.
For this to happen it is enough to restart that application or more simply done the xserver (the
script in /etc/init.d/ would do the trick)
----

So I ran it from a shell with DISPLAY set. It ran and was able to control the screen brightness.
But when dealing with GSM, it said on the terminal:

Executes subprocess [/usr/bin/libgsmd-tool -m shell]
libgsmd-tool: <# # Power-On>
libgsmd-tool: <# Register>
libgsmd-tool: <EVENT: Netreg searching for network >
Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 460, in __bootstrap

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/SettingsGUI/GSMPanel.py", line 112, in network_registration_changed
location_area = line.split(" ")[7]
IndexError: list index out of range

I don't know why. I was able to manually (with atcmd mode) get my SIM to register, make calls (no audio), and send an SMS. FYI.

Addendum: I tried the last settings page (GPRS), which won't work with T-Mobile Prepaid sim. But when I clicked "Connect", it failed without any error message. In this case I don't even think the GSM modem is connected to T-Mobile yet...perhaps better error reporting here would be good.

----
For this error you have to ask Kriss who is the developer of SettingsGUI (I just did the package).
I'll drop him an email telling to read here.

Thanks for the bug report. I'll get into this the next days. --[[User:Kriss|kriss]] 12:54, 14 September 2007 (CEST)

This bug is solved since Version 0.7. --[[User:Kriss|kriss]] 01:18, 2 October 2007 (CEST)

== What does "ipkgorphan" do? ==

I was unwilling to try it without some brief clue about what it's supposed to do :-)

It reads ipkg database and computes which packages are 'leaf' in the graph. That is those packages
that are not needed by any other package. Examples are the task-openmoko-* packages which are only
meta packages used to install all the needed programs.

This program is useful when you need space in rootfs, as every program it lists can be removed without
breaking any other dependency. It is also useful in the case you want to try a program that needs a
library. You install both packages. Then you try the program and remove it as you don't like it.
The package of the library remains if you don't remember to uninstall it explicitely. That package
name will be shown by ipkgorphan.

Yes, it seems that elfutils contains those file that are already provided by busybox. Removing busybox is not a good idea as it will probably break some other programs. A fast workaround is:
ipkg install elfutils -force-overwrite
which should work without problem until the moment elfutils is uninstalled. At that time, a -force-reinstall of busybox should fix everything back in place. [[User:Alessandro|Alessandro]] 02:39, 4 October 2007 (CEST)

Alessandro: /* My Package Repository */ Added mokostat to the list

==About me==

My name is Alessandro Iurlano (IRC: Ghiottone). I'm a linux user and sysadmin since at least ten years and an expert C developer.

My projects include a hobby operating system (http://osso.sourceforge.net) and a custom search engine for OS development ([http://aiurlano.netsons.org/osdev/]).

For OpenMoko I have a web page with a search engine related to OpenMoko at [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/]

My first OpenMoko program:

[http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipkgorphan_0.0.1-r0_armv4t.ipk ipkgorphan] (source [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipkgorphan.src.tar.gz here])

==My Package Repository==

You can download my packages via ipkg by adding a configuration file (its name must end with .conf) in /etc/ipkg/ for my repository.
The lines to add are:

src/gz aiurlano-armv4t http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipk/armv4t
src/gz aiurlano-all http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipk/all

The list of packages included in my repo is:
* ipkgorphan
* settingsgui ([http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SettingsGUI web] [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/settingsgui.bb.tar.gz bb source])
* smstool ([http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SMSTool web])
* free42
* ipkg-link
* synergy
* bootchart
* litebootchart (my optimized version)
* bash
* prelink

Tip to mount jffs images (yet to be tested)

# modprobe loop
# modprobe mtdblock
# losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/imagefile.jffs2
# insmod blkmtd erasesz=256 device=/dev/loop0
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt

Something about binary locale generation

put ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "0" in your local.conf file

==NOTES==

For users behind an http web proxy, life is hard. Openembedded cannot get updated because monotone does not support proxies. Subversion however does, both with http and https.
So, there are some commands to use only when you are directly connected to the internet:

make setup-openembedded
make update-openembedded

They are called as part of make setup and make update, respectively. They will update the timestamps in the stamps directory.

make update-openmoko does an svn update. It will work after setting up the proxy server in ~/.subversion/servers
Should your http proxy not allow PROPFIND method, you can try switchin to https. To do this you have to change the mokomakefile to do https checkouts and switch existing workdirs to https with svn switch --relocate http://URL https://URL

Open hand repository has a configuration for https that requires you to have their certificate installed and thus their software is not updatable behind a proxy

Best thing to do is to do a
. setup.env; cd build; bitbake -cfetchall openmoko-devel-image

from a place without proxy and try to solve further issue when compiling behind a proxy using the above tricks.

==BOOT PHASE==

I have run the bootchart tool on OpenMoko.
Results are pretty strange. CPU usage is always 100% and flash memory usage is always zero.
It seems that the processor is really used at 100% but flash memory statistics are not given by the kernel.

The result is shown here:

[[Image:Bootchart1.png|center|thumb|800px]]

I have modified the bootchart package so that some things are done by a C programs and not by the shell script. This way bootchart is much faster as it skip the processes creation needed for each step of the shell script. This new package name is litebootchart and it is available in my repository.

This is the result of my first optimization:

Results are pretty strange. CPU usage in always at full and flash memory usage is always zero.

Alessandro: Added "all" target for ipkg

I have a web page with a search engine related to OpenMoko at http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/

My first OpenMoko program:

[http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipkgorphan_0.0.1-r0_armv4t.ipk ipkgorphan] (source [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipkgorphan.src.tar.gz here])

You can download my packages via ipkg by adding a configuration file (its name must end with .conf) in /etc/ipkg/ for my repository.
The lines to add are:

src/gz aiurlano-armv4t http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipk/armv4t
src/gz aiurlano-all http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ipk/all

The list of packages included in my repo is:
* ipkgorphan
* settingsgui ([http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SettingsGUI web] [http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/settingsgui.bb.tar.gz bb source])

Tip to mount jffs images (yet to be tested)

# modprobe loop
# modprobe mtdblock
# losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/imagefile.jffs2
# insmod blkmtd erasesz=256 device=/dev/loop0
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt

Something about binary locale generation

put ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "0" in your local.conf file

==NOTES==

For users behind an http web proxy, life is hard. Openembedded cannot get updated because monotone does not support proxies. Subversion however does, both with http and https.
So, there are some commands to use only when you are directly connected to the internet:

make setup-openembedded
make update-openembedded

They are called as part of make setup and make update, respectively. They will update the timestamps in the stamps directory.

make update-openmoko does an svn update. It will work after setting up the proxy server in ~/.subversion/servers
Should your http proxy not allow PROPFIND method, you can try switchin to https. To do this you have to change the mokomakefile to do https checkouts and switch existing workdirs to https with svn switch --relocate http://URL https://URL

Open hand repository has a configuration for https that requires you to have their certificate installed and thus their software is not updatable behind a proxy

Best thing to do is to do a
. setup.env; cd build; bitbake -cfetchall openmoko-devel-image

from a place without proxy and try to solve further issue when compiling behind a proxy using the above tricks.

SMSTool

2007-09-10T21:48:53Z

Alessandro: /* Download */

{{InProgress}}
[[Image:SMSTool-0.1.png|thumb|SMSTool - SMS Tool]]

== Overview ==
Until OpenMoko releases an official GUI-Tool to send SMS you can use SMSTool for that task.

This programm is written in Python using pygtk. It can be used only if those are present in your environment.

(see [[SMSTool#Environment]])

== Current Features ==

* Send SMS (no spaces and new lines yet - replaced by '.')
** The default number is mine. - Leave a message if you like. ;-) --[[User:Kriss|kriss]] 22:54, 9 September 2007 (CEST)

== Planned Features ==

* Send SMS with spaces and new lines
* Recive SMS

== Comment on GSM Support ==

* As there are no gsmd python bindings available at the time, SettingGUI uses python-subprocess and threads to communicate to the commandline of [[Gsmd#libgsmd-tool | libgsmd-tool]] for the time being.

== Download ==

[http://mput.de/~kristian/.openmoko/SMSTool-0.1.tar.gz SMSTool-0.1.tar.gz]

An experimental smstool package is available from the repository at [[User:Alessandro | Alessandro]]'s user page.

== Environment ==

The following archives will have to be installed:

* python-core
* python-misc
* python-lang
* python-pygtk
* python-subprocess
* python-threading (should be a dependency of python-subprocess - todo: fix)
* python-pygobject (should be a dependency of python-pygtk - todo: fix)

If you want to test this and do not have a build environment, you can 'ipkg install' the python components from the ScaredyCat [[repositories]].

{{note|These packages take up a considerable amout of space (about 10 MByte), make sure that you have enough free space or install the packages to the media card as explained in [[package management]].}}

== Installation / Execution ==

* download file to Neo (e.g. using wget)
* Uncompress tar.gz file (e.g. tar -xzvf file.tar.gz)
* run:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
python SMSTool-x.x/SMSTool.py &
