NEWS ON 25 Apr 2006
Enhancements on the Zauri side, i compiled the new CVS changes and fixed the alarm_file name for the PdaXrom atd.
Now the alarms are well generated and announce wakes up, it' s only to correct the functions that makes you have only one alarm for time.
Try them!
BYez!

[pgas]

limit is 5 megs per post.
you can mail the ipks to me pierre.gaston@gmail.com
and I'll put them on mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib

OK, i' ll do now.

Hi,
I just installed the apps. I am very interested to test, because I exspect them to be better adapted to the PDA-screen.
Gpe-calendar and gpe-contacts segfault, when I try to import data. They crash immediately after clicking on the import-button. On the command-line there is only the message "Segmentation fault". Importing data would be essential for serious usage.
Any ideas?

Hi Xromer

Thanks for all your work on this - looking really good. As a replacement for alarms using kopi, gpe-calendar looks like the business, as it goes directly to atd and shouldn't have to be running for alarms to work.

However, every time I try to set an appointment with an alarm in gpe-calendar, it comes up with a warning:

'There is a problem with the scheduling daemon (perhaps atd is not running)! This can cause issues.'

It does cause issues, because the alarm doesn't go off! atd is running and working (tested with other things). gpe-calendar is adding files to /var/spool/at/ (although they seem to have slightly different file names). These files specify a lot of variables, then try to run gpe-announce followed by gpe-calendar.

I think gpe-announce is a dialog box type utility, but it isn't installed with any of your packages and I can't find it elsewhere. gpe-calendar doesn't seem to be run by atd, but perhaps it is stopping because it can't find gpe-announce? Or is it failing to add the file to the spool because it can't be parsed to begin with?

Do you have any ideas or suggestions that I can try?

Once again, thanks for all your work.

OK, i' ve just released another set of packages GPE packages.
I mailed them to pgas to put them on my contrib.
This is the list and issues:
gpe-calendar_0.72_armv5tel.ipk -> another time import error, don' t know how to fix, working on atd issue
gpe-contacts_0.44_armv5tel.ipk -> another time import error, don' t know how to fix
gpe-icons_0.25_armv5tel.ipk ->  Works
gpe-ownerinfo_0.28_armv5tel.ipk ->  Works
gpe-screenshot_0.4_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-timesheet_0.21_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-today_0.10_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-todo_0.55_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpsd_2.28_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpsdrive_2.10pre2_armv5tel.ipk -> Works but not as root user, don' t know why
libcontactsdb_0.3_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
libeventdb_0.21_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
libgpepimc_0.5_armv5tel.ipk -> Works

libxsettings-client_0.16_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
sqlite_2.8.17_armv5tel.ipk -> Works

They are nearly the same of the old ones, except for the new mimedir implementation that fix some bugs related to the importations, logically you can see it in the FC4GPE new realease, but i' m trying to see what' s going on on ipks.
New utilities packged as timesheet, screenshot and today.
Guys i tried to install a new gtk2 package to fix some windows problems but i got the same segfaults.
Anyone has suggestions? Do you think it' s an optimization problem? If someone has suggestions on gcc flags optimization to fix this problem i would appreciate it very much.
BYEZ  

P.S. Karito i have to work on the calendar code for the events issue as announce is connected to other packages as gpe-soundserver and GPE xserver implementations that need a total repackage of Xserver that now i don' t have time to manage.
Sketch.r i tried to compile gpe-mini-browser but is based on osb-jscore bugged package and i can' t compile it but now i would like to fix the packages that haven' t similar in the PdaXrom distribution. Sorry, try to see what' s the matter on the gtk-webcore at sourceforge.net and if you give a fixed osb-jscore to me i will package it.

Never mind, you have already done a really good job. As you said there are other priorities.

Thank you very much for the new packages and fixes.

That's a pity - I suppose that announce is the only thing that actually makes an alarm popup, so leaving it out of the at command wouldn't achieve much...?

Thanks anyway

Ok i overrided the X11 GPE request generating the x11.pc file needed to compile, then i compiled announce and libsoundgen. Now gpe-announce gets on alarm and ring on the right device /dev/dsp instead of /dev/misc/buzzer.
Now i have to make it reach the mixer device and take the alarms from calendar.
But i 've never used atd until now, so i have to study it a little bit to get all the GPE stuff to work.
I' m studying gcc optimizations to work out segfaults stuff too.
Any suggestions are very appreciated.
THX to everyone!

Cool - that sounds like great progress!

I don't think you need to worry about it taking the alarms from the calendar - the calendar already seems to have it sorted (just need announce for announcing).

Here is one of the at spool files created by gpe-calendar for my test alarm:

rm -f $0As far as I can see, the last few lines are the only important ones - should announce with the name of the appointment ('test'), then call the calendar. Time is already set, and atd takes care of suspend wakeup and everything. It's a really nice solution.

I would be happy to test if you have a package compiled with announce included...

Thanks

Ok now i'm working on the FC4 side, i compiled libsoundgen and gpe-announce. Got gpe-announce run manually, it gets up and sound. The mute key works, but when i press the snooze key it deals about a trigger at event that lacks.
Now the problem is that i don' t understand what' s the right at format is ?
I' m looking at the gpe-calendar code why it puts all the env stuff in the at command.

I couldn't figure out why the variables either; maybe something to do with snoozing the alarm? Most of them are not even relevant to my Zaurus anyway (e.g. IP address, compiler, etc all wrong)

I believe that the '-s 1141838040' switch on gpe-calendar above refers to the at spool file name, so this could have something to do with it...

atd is probably a stripped-down version for pdaXrom - no atq command or anything like that, but it seems to work fine. I would say just start with the gpe-announce and gpe-calendar lines on their own and see what happens from there!

Cheers

[pgas]

the updated packages are on mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib

[Xromer]

OK here are the new packages:
FC4:

gpe-announce-0.13-1.i386.rpm -> Works, to test the ATD implementation
gpe-filemanager-0.24-1.i386.rpm -> Works, pretty fast and funny.
gpe-mileage-0.1-1.i386.rpm -> Works
gpe-multisync-0.1-1.i386.rpm -> To test, i didn' t because i hate sinchronization  
gpe-shield-0.9-1.i386.rpm -> Works fine, it' s a fast alternative to other tools like Firestarter or FWbuilder
gpe-sketchbook-0.2.9-1.i386.rpm -> Works, i find it very useful for fast notes, as no sinchronization is needed with the desktop (sketchbook PdaXrom port here)
gpe-taskmanager-0.19-1.i386.rpm -> Works, funny and very fast utility to manage the windows!
libgpelaunch-0.14-1.i386.rpm -> Works
libnsqlc-0.2-1.i386.rpm -> To test, is the library needed by gpe-multisync
libsoundgen-0.3-1.i386.rpm -> Works, library needed by gpe-announce

Zaurus pdaXrom:

gpe-announce_0.13_armv5tel.ipk -> Works, what' s the right sound device? I thoutght it was /dev/dsp but it tells me device or resource busy....? Let me know it' s fast to correct.
gpe-gallery_0.97_armv5tel.ipk -> Works, but it segfaults on too long files listing.
gpe-mileage_0.1_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-ownerinfo_0.28_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-screenshot_0.4_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-sketchbook_0.2.9_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-taskmanager_0.19_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-timesheet_0.21_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
gpe-today_0.10_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
libgpelaunch_0.14_armv5tel.ipk -> Works
libsoundgen_0.3_armv5tel.ipk -> Works

I will send the packages to pgas as always.
BYEZ!!
