"phonefsod is not running" when launching settings. error calling StartServiceByName and more in log Jan 28 11:11:43 I really need my phone right now Jan 28 11:11:58 I haven't changed anything for days so I don't know why it should suddenly stop working Jan 28 11:12:06 tim_abell: what happens if you try to start phonefsod from console? Jan 28 11:12:14 ... Jan 28 11:12:28 you mean with /etc/init.d/... start ? Jan 28 11:13:05 it responds started ok Jan 28 11:13:48 but when i re-run settings it still pops up the message Jan 28 11:14:44 i can't copy paste because i can't ssh to the phone from windows 7 64 bit. ndis driver doesn't seem to work Jan 28 11:16:46 first message in log is: phonefsod - warning failed to connect to /org/freesmartphone/device/idlenotifier/0 error calling startservicebyname for org.freesmartphone.odeviced: gdbus.error: org.freedesktop.dbus.error.spawn.childexited: launch helper exited with unkown return code 1 Jan 28 11:16:52 man that was a lot of typing Jan 28 11:17:19 followed by the same for input, display and powersupply Jan 28 11:17:40 then a glib warning about overwiting error messages Jan 28 11:17:59 i think it knew i'd just posted an ad with my phone number on it Jan 28 11:18:00 ffs Jan 28 11:18:31 i'll be gutted if i have to give up on the freerunner and get a phone that actually works Jan 28 11:18:50 it's been so close for so long Jan 28 11:18:56 tim_abell: looks liko fsodeviced not running Jan 28 11:18:58 but there's always something Jan 28 11:20:02 trying to start that first... Jan 28 11:20:24 ah, that's an improvement Jan 28 11:21:03 /etc/init.d/fsodeviced start; /etc/init.d/phonefsod start Jan 28 11:22:02 hrm. somethings still borked. the buttons don't work, and i can't slide the gsm antenna slider to on Jan 28 11:22:08 keeps jumping back Jan 28 11:22:16 oh looks like the daemon has died again Jan 28 11:22:35 nuts, i don't have time to sort this out now Jan 28 11:22:52 i'll have to boot into my other partition and put up with the bugs in that one instead Jan 28 11:22:55 tim_abell: sorry... Jan 28 11:22:57 thanks for your help PaulFertser Jan 28 11:23:25 i really wish the devs had time to sort out a semi stable release for what's left of the userbase Jan 28 11:23:41 anyways, thanks again. laters Jan 28 11:24:01 i'd have got further with shr-t if i hadn't had complete failure of my hardware at home :( Jan 28 11:24:09 i currently have 0 working computers Jan 28 11:24:19 (this one isn't mine) Jan 28 15:14:11 hi Jan 28 20:37:26 what are the odds of opkg upgrade on shr-u making my phone work again? (I'm running it now but have to go out in a moment) Jan 28 20:37:47 the phone was very nearly eject through the car window on the way home! Jan 28 20:38:57 btw thanks again for your help earlier PaulFertser, you have no idea what a difference it makes just having a friendly ear when it goes wrong and a couple of things to investigate Jan 28 20:39:10 tim_abell: always welcome :) Jan 28 20:39:40 tim_abell: but i'm not using SHR myself (i use FSO from git on Debian), so i'm unaware of all the details. Jan 28 20:39:53 that sounds hardcore :) Jan 28 20:39:58 how's it working out for you? Jan 28 20:40:12 tim_abell: it is hardcore. And i use my own Emacs UI for telephony. Jan 28 20:40:18 lol Jan 28 20:40:27 don't think that'd work while i'm driving :) Jan 28 20:40:48 are you working on the code of fso? Jan 28 20:41:01 tim_abell: no kidding, that's the only UI i use now. And exactly, i had to add a special hook to be able to pick up by pressing AUX hardware button while driving :) Jan 28 20:41:24 lol, Ctrl-AUX,Ctrl-Power shurley? Jan 28 20:41:41 Emacs for making calls? that sounds wicked Jan 28 20:42:01 tim_abell: (working on fso) no, but i support the effort by using it and trying to investigate problems looking through the code and debug logs. Jan 28 20:42:07 i have enough trouble using emacs to edit files let alone anything else :) Jan 28 20:42:07 tim_abell: :D Jan 28 20:43:06 currently i'm trying to polish up a patch for better rename support for git in windows (blergh), but I hope to go back to trying to help with openmoko distros soon Jan 28 20:43:08 tim_abell: i had to learn elisp for that but surprisingly enough, writing that UI gave me a lot of fun, more than i usually received from my IT-related activities lately. Jan 28 20:43:36 eek Jan 28 20:43:44 what's the usual IT activities? Jan 28 20:44:17 my day job is asp.net + visual studio, hence being stuck with windows Jan 28 20:44:30 tim_abell: hm, random lurking, trying to sort out random bugs whenever i face them. And my dayjob is related to embedded stuff (avr, arms). Jan 28 20:44:51 tim_abell: i like git a lot btw. Jan 28 20:44:58 git rules :) Jan 28 20:45:24 though I've been having interesting times with merges recently Jan 28 20:45:38 tim_abell: i think you need to ask mrmoku or someone else from shr to get the status update. Jan 28 20:46:01 fortunately it's dual boot with an older shr-u that I know more or less works Jan 28 20:46:06 so i'll just suck it and see Jan 28 20:46:21 the old one keeps forgetting the time which is a bit annoying Jan 28 20:46:31 Reasonable Jan 28 20:47:02 and the reason it nearly went out the car window is for some reason it flat out refused to use the wired handsfree so I couldn't organise my evening during the (tedious) commute Jan 28 20:47:06 hey ho Jan 28 20:47:13 tim_abell: we all have defective backup batteries, so time is not kept when the device is turned off. Jan 28 20:47:16 i dream of having a bluetooth handset again Jan 28 20:47:35 oh rly? funnily enough the other install does it fine Jan 28 20:48:01 tim_abell: probably the other has working NTP. Jan 28 20:48:13 i had heard talk of the battery problem, but haven't seen the exact issue Jan 28 20:48:27 Neither me. Nobody knows for sure. Jan 28 20:48:37 it would need network for that wouldn't it? Jan 28 20:48:45 Sure. Or gps. Jan 28 20:48:57 yeah I've seen it correct from the gps, that's very cool Jan 28 20:49:05 sadly my old install doesn't Jan 28 20:49:13 gosh this is a long update Jan 28 20:51:05 tim_abell: have you considered trying QtMoko? Jan 28 20:51:31 yeah tried it for quite a while Jan 28 20:52:00 Some folks say it's really fast and usable nowadays. Jan 28 20:52:03 it was great until it silently discarded a load of incoming messages Jan 28 20:52:11 but that was a little while ago Jan 28 20:52:24 i might put a newer version on an sd card Jan 28 20:53:09 tim_abell: they have udfu images Jan 28 20:53:12 *fast* Jan 28 20:53:34 they went from jffs2 to udfu in v30 I think Jan 28 20:53:38 what's udfu? Jan 28 20:53:47 different image format Jan 28 20:53:52 oh right Jan 28 20:53:59 I guess you mean ubifs. Jan 28 20:54:04 for the internal flash? or does it work on sd too Jan 28 20:54:10 MTD-only Jan 28 20:54:12 PaulFertser: ummmm, I suppose *blush* Jan 28 20:54:14 mtd? Jan 28 20:54:23 tim_abell: nand flash and such. Jan 28 20:54:26 right Jan 28 20:54:28 ubi Jan 28 20:54:32 oh right. what does it stand for? Jan 28 20:54:33 was looking at the qi image Jan 28 20:54:52 tim_abell: ubifs is a newer cooler faster filesystem (comparing to jffs2) Jan 28 20:54:59 with more bugs :) Jan 28 20:55:02 lol Jan 28 20:55:04 whoops, sorry :P Jan 28 20:55:18 lindi-: so far I haven't experienced any afaik Jan 28 20:55:21 Yeah, doesn't like harsh reboots. Jan 28 20:55:43 come to think of it, qpe.sh has force restarted quite a few times Jan 28 20:56:03 hrmph, phonefsod still borked, anyone fancy a quick troubleshooting session now i can actually copy-paste? Jan 28 20:56:48 tim_abell: you can try starting fsodeviced from the terminal without the init script. Jan 28 20:57:02 tim_abell: to see if it says anything interesting before dying. Jan 28 20:57:06 root@om-gta02 ~ # ps -A | grep fso Jan 28 20:57:06 191 ? 00:00:00 fso-gpsd Jan 28 20:57:06 217 ? 00:00:02 fsousaged Jan 28 20:57:06 222 ? 00:00:01 fsogsmd Jan 28 20:57:11 k Jan 28 20:57:18 tim_abell: ulimit -c unlimited Jan 28 20:57:31 what's ulimit? Jan 28 20:57:39 tim_abell: to collect the core dump for the case it segfaults. Jan 28 20:57:53 tim_abell: means set some parameters for userspace limits. Jan 28 20:57:58 root@om-gta02 ~ # fsodeviced Jan 28 20:57:58 Aborting due to critical error: Jan 28 20:57:58 'GLib : file plugin.c: line 259: uncaught error: Expected 4 descriptor components, got 3 (fso_device_sound_error-quark, 3)' Jan 28 20:58:27 mean anything? certainly doesn't mean much to me Jan 28 20:58:37 tim_abell: now you've got important info and so mrmoku or JaMa will fix it soon. Jan 28 20:58:40 I presume the openmoko doesn't have a subatomic sound system Jan 28 20:58:46 :) Jan 28 20:58:49 :D Jan 28 20:59:18 right, i really do have to go now, thanks for your help and moral support Jan 28 20:59:26 any other output before i do a runner? Jan 28 20:59:44 tim_abell: i guess that's enough for a start, good luck and drive safe :) Jan 28 20:59:51 k, thanks folks Jan 28 21:00:06 till next time... smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast Jan 28 21:34:21 hi Jan 28 21:38:07 i received my freeruner today, and... it doesn't start anymore ^^ what i did: installed SHR unstable, too buggy, i decided to try testing. After the flash (qi, kernel and root), i unplugged my FR (it was off), then i discovered the power button didn't start it anymore... but i could get to the NOR uBoot, and booted from here, after SHR wizard, i shutted down the FR, and now it won't start, whatever i try, any idea? Jan 28 21:39:30 CyberDomovoy: what have you tried? Jan 28 21:41:17 lindi-: power button, aux+power, aux, and the same again, holding them for a long time (about 20sec) Jan 28 21:42:19 CyberDomovoy: which version of FR? Jan 28 21:43:10 GTA02, from hackable-devices.org Jan 28 21:43:11 CyberDomovoy: (gta02v5 or gta02v7 -- the sticker should say I think?) Jan 28 21:45:02 lindi-: can't find it on the phone Jan 28 21:46:02 i only have "Model: GTA02" Jan 28 21:46:20 CyberDomovoy: what does the datecode read? Jan 28 21:46:35 CyberDomovoy: It should be printed below battery Jan 28 21:46:41 lindi-: 20091117 Jan 28 21:47:01 CyberDomovoy: ok then that is very probably gta02V7 Jan 28 21:48:04 it's brand new, i was just starting to play with it :( hope there is a solution Jan 28 21:48:15 CyberDomovoy: I think either your battery is completely empty or you have broken your aux button Jan 28 21:48:59 lindi-: battery was full Jan 28 21:49:06 CyberDomovoy: remove the SD card, SIM card and battery. connect wall charger. then hold down AUX and press power for 3 seconds? Jan 28 21:49:08 almost Jan 28 21:50:01 worked! Jan 28 21:50:53 but still not work with power button only... Jan 28 21:51:13 CyberDomovoy: your boot loader in NAND is probably just broken or wrongly configured Jan 28 21:51:53 lindi-: so, flash it again, and another version if still don't work? Jan 28 21:52:03 CyberDomovoy: do you have shell history so that we can check if you flashed it correctly? Jan 28 21:52:11 yep Jan 28 21:52:42 dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D qi-s3c6410-1.0.2-r1+gitr0+c38b062a609f1442e6a9e13005cfbdfd59a5ac0d.udfu Jan 28 21:54:42 CyberDomovoy: s3c6410 sounds wrong? Jan 28 21:54:54 CyberDomovoy: gta02 is s3c2442 Jan 28 21:55:30 lindi-: http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/ Jan 28 21:55:33 got it here Jan 28 21:55:48 i'll try s3c2442 Jan 28 21:55:59 CyberDomovoy: the chipset is documented at http://www.amebasystems.com/downloads/hardware/datasheets/freerunner/SoC/um_s3c2442b_rev12.pdf Jan 28 22:00:16 lindi-: starts well with 2442, thanks Jan 28 22:02:57 CyberDomovoy: I hope you learned something new :) Jan 28 22:04:01 lindi-: yes, never thought the boot manager could stop the device from starting, i was expecting at least some kind of bios or something Jan 28 22:04:29 CyberDomovoy: no non-free bioses here :) Jan 28 22:04:51 CyberDomovoy: boot loader is pretty much the "bios" here. it even enables your memory chips Jan 28 22:06:16 lindi-: i didn't ever know that was possible :) i think i'll learn much with this stuff ^^ i'm also hacking my NAS, lot of fun is coming ;) Jan 28 22:15:34 ?? can't find the underscore on the kayboard? Jan 28 22:16:07 CyberDomovoy: what keyboard application is that? Jan 28 22:16:36 ho, was in the caps set Jan 29 01:56:45 whats up with openmoko/lists? Jan 29 02:11:57 not sure linuxxr **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jan 29 02:59:56 2011
