Mer/Status/FreeRunner

91.65.91.60: /* Build/Find a good keyboard */

This is the planning page to have Mer working on the freerunner.

Mer on Freerunner is 100% ported, thanks to the people at Debian, we reused most of the work. For 100% we mean that Mer works without any mayor problem in it

We used the kernel from [http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianFSO pkg-fso] which is the lastest stable kernel released from Openmoko.

There are still some things to do to better support Mer for the Freerunner:

#Build/Find a good keybaord - done by him-arabic maybe
#Port the FSO packages into [https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Maemo%3AMer%3ADevel%3AHW%3AFreerunner%3ADevel Mer Freerunner repository]
#Run zhone as example and check the phone stack
#Build hildon compatible applets for Mer

== Download & install ==

* bootable full system ( img to dd on external sdcard) , video demo also : http://www.newlc.com/en/mer-best-maemo-debianubuntu-mobiles-watch-freerunner-demo

* rootfs to sync: http://goshawknest.wordpress.com/category/freerunner/

* 0.15 Release image: [[Mer/Releases/0.15]]

== Build/Find a good keyboard ==

More testing is needed in the him-arabic package to provide a good, final keyboard for freerunner like systems. Vincenzo Ampolo (goshawk) <vincenzo@eshopen.com> is working on it, but help is much appreciated, just join to #mer in irc.freenode.net and ping him! :)

The tests should see how flexible is him-arabic and see if it looks good on freerunner.

--
Since Maemo or Mer are widescreen designed, would the current keyboard work if the screen is used in landscape rather than portrait mode?

-- Is there a possibility to write a HIM plugin, which switches the HIM-UI to landscape and full-screen mode? Then one can write a plugin with a "inputline"-text-field and more space for the letter-keys. Also I think a keyboard with only letters and numbers and special chars on a extra page would be good. In the end it would look like the keyboard used in SHR except it is in landscape and full-screen mode.

== Port the FSO packages into Mer Freerunner repository ==

While all the things related to Mer have already been ported, the packages of the Phone stack (fso) and other applications have not yet ported. Luckly we can reuse most of the work of the Debian FSO team. The repository can be found [http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian/ here] and the deb lines are:

<pre>deb http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb-src http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main
</pre>

This is the list of applications that need a [http://pkg-fso.nomeata.de/sid/allpackages port into the Mer archive]

This should be almost a trivial task since the sources in a debian like format are available.

== Run zhone as example and check the phone stack ==

This can be done after [http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Hardware/Freerunner#Port_the_FSO_packages_into_Mer_Freerunner_repository #2]

== Build hildon compatible applets for Mer ==

This can be done after [http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Hardware/Freerunner#Build_hildon_compatible_applets_for_Mer #3]

== Debian Armel Virtual Machine for Mer development ==

Aurel32 have done a [http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/arm/ virtual machine image of Debian for arm under qemu]. You can download it and run with the command:

<pre>qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-versatile -initrd initrd.img-2.6.26-2-versatile -hda debian_lenny_arm_small.qcow -append "root=/dev/sda1" -nographic</pre>

The ''nographic'' option will open a shell of your armel machine directly in the shell in which you run the command. So you can easily copy and paste commands

== Imager ==

The [http://gitorious.org/mer/imager imager] is one of the most useful things in mer development, it's a script that build a rootfs image for any Mer target, since Mer runs in a lot of devices, each device require a particular kernel or packages so an image for Freerunner can contain more or less packages than another image for another device.

The imager is hosted in launchpad. To run it you have to set up a debian armel environment, you can use a ready virtual machine to accomplish it. To get the imager code, install the ''git-core'' package in the virtual machine and run the command
<pre>git clone git://gitorious.org/mer/imager.git</pre>
or you can run this command on a desktop machine and then transfer the imager code to the Freerunner.
Then you should install the ''debootstrap'' package in the virtual machine and run the imager with the command:
<pre>bash imager targets/mer-freerunner-fs-only directory</pre>
where ''directory'' is the directory in which the image will be build. Remember that you have to set up a [http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Hardware/Freerunner#Debian_Armel_Virtual_Machine_for_Mer_development debian armel virtual machine] to do it

91.65.91.60: /* Bugs in testing9 */ comment to bug from "SmartQ7"

By using these testing images, you're '''morally obligated to test them''' and to edit this page and report -every single bug you find-, no matter if they're theme flaws, quirks, bugs or crashes. You can optionally also use [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mer bugzilla] , use version 0.15.

IF YOU SEE ANY MISSING TRANSLATIONS, PLEASE REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

'''Please send the bug report urls to mer-chatter (see [[Mer/Awareness]] ) as well and share your bugs, testing experiences.'''

Test master is Meizirkki, and can be found in #mer on irc.freenode.net usually and you can ask him if there's some specialized areas that need testing. Take [http://guest:guest@trac.tspre.org:9010 the "Completed" things first]. If you are testing, go to #mer anyway. Good place to be.

These images will not be the only ones this week. In N8x0 installer, when it asks for URL=, write URL=http://the.image.intended. Instructions on [[Mer/Documentation/Installation]] still apply.

These images may potentially turn your device into a insane machine bent on removing humanity from this earth and may potentially brick your device, so, NO WARRANTY.

== Bugs in 0.15testing6 ==

* (in progress of getting fixed) - Chinese translations are broken.
* N8x0: Xorg acts weird
* N8x0: hald-addon-bme has "batery.reporing.last_full"
* Missing translations for default locale (En_US) mainly in Application manager (ai_ti_main, ai_li_size_100kb, ai_li_size_max_99kb, aibddetailsclose, ai_ia_select_location, ai_fi_select_location_application, ai_fi_select_location_location, aibdselectlocationok, aibdselectlocationcancel, ai_ni_install_sucessful) , but also in Settings ("tncpa_ap_tn_sb", "tncpa_ti_tnsb_title", "tncpa_fi_tnsb_applications", "tncpa_bv_tnsb_organise", basically most if not *all* that beging with "tncpa_", there is too many to retype here, almost nothing is translated there, apart from some names of applets)
* FineFileManager installed from Application Manager does not display any files nor directories and has missing icon in the bottom toolbar.
* Tear has missing "home" icon in bottom toolbar
* The "Are you sure you wish to reboot?" window is broken. It appears in the upper-left corner, without decoration, the left and top sides of the window are cut off. The strings for Yes and No buttons are missing ("wdgtbdyes" and "wdgtbdno"). By the way, this goes against many user interface guidelines. The buttons should say "Reboot" and "Cancel" instead of "Yes" and "No".
* The same issue as above applies to confirming shutdown and offline mode. Obviously, the buttons should be "Shut down/Cancel" and "Go Offline/Cancel", respectively.
* Cannot click on links while browsing with tear under Vmware image (vm bug or tear bug?)
* Mirage installed from Application Manager does not launch. Crashes on ImportError: No module named osso in /usr/share/mirage/mirage.py line 35 "import osso"
** Issue is due to python-osso not supporting python2.5 (stskeeps)
** Tested with launching using python2.6 instead of python2.5 (epage)
*** Mirage seems to not have any major compatibility issues between python versions
*** python-osso dependency then gets satisfied and the world is a happy place
* Missing icons in Terminal bottom toolbar [http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6971/screenshot02.png Screenshot]
* Settings app entry should have an icon (not just the default one); [http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/7066/screenshot03r.png Screenshot]
* Inconsistency in icon size and style. Example: tear should have a bigger icon. Mer project should define a standard size for icons so that packagers know what icons they should pack in their app. [http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/6417/screenshot01y.png Screenshot]
* Installing (through app manager) an app shorcut to any other folder than "extras" has no effect. The app entry always end up in extras (I tried to install Tear in "Internet" -> ends up in "extras". Same for several apps).
* HomeIP applet installed from Application Manager, cannot be selected to show on homescreen (selecting it has no effect).
** python-hildondesktop broken?
* hildon-desktop-env needs dependancy on hildon-application-manager-l10n-public-enus1 hildon-common-strings-l10n-public-enus1 hildon-control-panel-l10n-public-enus1 hildon-fm-l10n-public-enus1 hildon-input-method-l10n-public-enus1 hildon-libs-l10n-public-enus1 ke-recv-l10n-public-enus1 maemo-af-desktop-l10n-public-enus1 osso-games-l10n-public-enus1 osso-system-lock-l10n-public-enus1 osso-uri-l10n-public-enus1

== Bugs in testing7 ==

Mark if previous bugs were fixed in this version as well.

* The default terminal cannot be scrolled in any way. No scrollbar, does not react to touch.
* The strings still have "Nokia" and "Maemo" in them. They should be replaced with "Mer".
* At least for N8x0, it would be reasonable to double the backlight timeouts (60 for fade, 120 to disable). The device is just too slow for some actions to complete (especially in the terminal) within 30 seconds, making the default setup irritating.
* In the panel for changing brightness and volume, the volume icon is repeated in a grid. There should be only one icon there, not four.
* When a reboot or shutdown procedure is taking place, all the applets that change their state show up briefly on the screen, making the process look unpolished and ugly. There's also a blinking cursor showing through if you leave the terminal open while shutting down or rebooting. Basically, if there is anything on the screen during a reboot or shutdown that changes its state, it shows up.
* "Authorizations" menu element should be hidden. It's of no use to normal users.
* "Drag Lock" should be renamed to "Lock applets" or a similar, less confusing name.
* Erratic dialog window behaviour. Open up the terminal and hit the Menu key a few times to open the menu and close it repeatedly. It'll open left-aligned or centered, depending on your luck.
* Error dialog windows (banners on the bottom of the screen with a "stop sign" icon) cannot be dismissed in any other way than hitting the hardware "Back" button.
* Disable grab in gksu for n800/non-kbd users - it asks for password in locale settings.
* Chinese strings now working
* [Nokia n8x0]NetworkManager not working. NM-applet says "Device not ready".
* [Nokia n810]Fn-key not working. (Install x11-xkb-utils to fix)
** Added to imager (stskeeps)
* [Nokia n8x0]Powerlaunch dialog is not popping up when pressing power button.
(Note: if this is the "Device mode" dialog window then it works fine for me with an N810. Short press = Device mode appears. Long press = soft poweroff - TomaszD)
* [Nokia n8x0] Going to soft poweroff by pressing and holding the power button for about two seconds results in: backlight turns off, comes back for a second, then goes away and soft poweroff is completed. Same thing happens when coming back from soft poweroff, the screen softly "blinks" at the user. Blinking does not occur when going into soft poweroff when the option is chosen from the Device mode dialog, however it does happen every time when the device comes back from this mode.
* [Nokia n8x0] If going to soft poweroff is done by pushing and holding a button for two seconds, then it stands to reason that the same action should turn the device back into normal mode. This is not the case - only a short push of the button brings it back to life.
* Maemopad: Missing translations = maemopad_save_changes_made, maemopadyes, maemopadno. Open files menu is screwed up. Dialog to confirm saving is displayed on top left of screen instead of center.
** Maemopad has no en_US translation. https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/tools/trunk/maemo_testing/maemopad/po/en_GB.po is a possible basis. (Stskeeps)
* Missing text: Settings -> About -> License button
* Desktop Menu Issues
** Calibrate Screen menu item non-functional
** Help menu item non-functional
* NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.97
** Clicking "NetworkManager Website" errors with "Failed to show url Failed to execute child process "xdg-open" (No such file or directory)"
** Clicking OK Button on above error message is non-functional
* statusbarapplets misses hook to CPA
* statusbarapplets tries to read $HOME.osso/hildon-desktop/statusbar.conf, not $HOME/.osso/hildon-desktop/statusbar.conf
* statusbarapplets title needs to be better and less upper cased.
* blueman does not install correctly - errors
* qtablet does not install correctly - errors
* Display issues
** Editing DSL Connection -> PPP Settings tab -> "Available to all users" has the letters "Av" garbled.
** Display issue: Editing DSL Connection -> PPP Settings tab -> Options below Available to all users" is not displayed on the screen.
** Display issue: Editing DSL Connection -> IPv4 Settings -> Button for "Editing IPv4 routes" is not fully displayed on the screen.
* Installed Applications not launching from the Main Menu

== Bugs in testing9 ==
* The panel is limited to 4 icons. When there are more than 4 icons on the panel (nm-applet, blueman, advanced-power, advanced backlight, loadapplet), then the last one dissappears. You can click to the right of the last icon to bring up the menu with the rest of the icons, but there should be an icon in and of itself to indicate that some of the panel icons are hidden away.
* [n8x0] Fn key now works!
* [n8x0] Power button (still?) doesn't work. Detected, but does not bring up the menu

* Application Manager - missing string - "ai_ti_select_location" (window title of selecting where in the menu to put the application icon).
** Added
* Application Manager - missing string - "ckdg_bd_change_folder_ok" (button confirming the change of the folder where to put the application icon).
** Added
* Blueman bluetooth manager works, but you have to click and hold to keep the main menu open, a tap simply opens it up and closes it immidiately.

* [n8x0] Tapping input fields with stylus doesn't bring up the keyboard. It work when tapping with a finger though. One fix is to bring up the control panel by entering "controlpanel" in a terminal. Then choose "Text Input Settings". From there you pick "On-Screen". If you here set "Launch finger keyboard" to never, you can use the stylus in most applications to bring up the keyboard.
SmartQ7 - User account generation at first boot doesn't show onscreen keyboard for "Confirm Password" dialogue box, continued blank OK
:white_gecko - I can't confirm this, on my freerunner the onscreenkeyboard appears for the password confirm dialog.

* [n8x0] Missing icons from advanced power buttons http://imgur.com/JB7xt

Q7 - Changing input settings/onscreen/launchfingerboaurd=with finger and stylus causes keyboard loss in xterm
