Htc Universal

[datathief]

Strange - for me datathiefs instructions regarding X worked perfectly... I use(d) GPE, IceWM and now JWM without errors.
Just have one more try, maybe it'll work.

I don't think they work perfectly, because installing xserver-titchy indeed lets you run X, however you can only log in as root, which is a significant flaw I think. I haven't been able to find a way to log in as a regular user using this method.

I adapted xserver-titchy from the original Titchy  -  which had xdm and xfce4 installed by default.  I would expect xdm to work "out of the box".

There's a command get the time from the modem, but it doesn't return the date.  

It's possible that we could create some awful hack, like:

• Write the date to a file
• Reboot
• Read date from file
• Retrieve time from modem

This would only work if you restart Linux on the same day you reboot...

Can you specify the time retrieval command, so that I may implement this hack?

I wasn't able to run it and log in as a regular user, though it worked when logging in as root. Can anyone who is running xserver-titchy confirm that xdm runs by default and enables you to login as a regular user?

To retrieve the time from the modem:

Code: [Select]

htcunid atcmd AT@SYSTEMTIME
To set the time held by the modem:

Code: [Select]

htcunid atcmd AT@SYSTEMTIME=HH,MM,SS
It's possible to set the date, too, but I haven't found a way to retrieve it:

Code: [Select]

htcunid atcmd AT@SYSTEMTIME=HH,MM,SS,YYYY,MM,DD

Can you say when will be finish for download xserver-tytchy with xdm and xfce4?
xcfe4 WM look like here http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Linux/Screenshots ? because is verry cool

XFCE4 seems to have grown, and requires around 300MB of disk space, so I'm looking for an alternative.  If you really want to try it, I've updated the old titchy-desktop package to work on the Universal.

• You may need to start from a clean rootfs.  The changes from www.sumoudou.org might conflict.
• Make sure your USB network is working.
• Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
  
  Code: [Select]
  deb http://debian.neilandtheresa.co.uk/ titchy/
• Update your packages list:
  
  Code: [Select]
  apt-get update
• Install Titchy
  
  Code: [Select]
  apt-get install titchy-desktop
• Wait for about 90MB of packages to download...
• If XDM doesn't start, try:
  
  Code: [Select]
  /etc/init.d/xdm restart

Note: I have not tested this from a clean install, so it's possible that other packages will be needed.  I think it will work, though.

Datathief, how do you switch ttys, I can't figure out the key combo here, I've tried Ctrl-Alt-Fn-2 etc. and similar ones, but nothing. It seems F2-F7 buttons are not mapped or am I wrong?

[webdork]

Anyone know how to map the | (break) key?

to switching ttys you have to push: Ctrl+Alt+ from SoftKeyLeft to SoftKeyRight are Fn. So SoftKeyLeft is F2, next is F3, F4, SoftKeyRight is F5 and the HangButton is F6...i haven't found F1

The | is the key right to the space (SIMB. here)

Hmmm... So if I'd switch to tty2, how am I gonna get back to X, if there's no F7? Wait, isn't there a shell command to switch to another tty?

At the console, alt + cursor left/right move through the VTs.  Oh, and chvt 7 will get back to X.  The F-keys need mapping somewhere...

Full X with phone utilities installed working image available

I've generated a full working image of the Debian GNU/Linux for the Universal, that contains X with xdm and icewm installed as the WM. And it includes full working datathief's phone scripts, and also additional generated kernel modules to enable mounting LUKS/DM encrypted volumes.

The image is easily installed in three steps and gives you a full working X phone distribution without additional modifications right after install.

It's huge though, 245 Megs bzipped, expanded takes around 600 Megs.

You can get it with the instructions on install at: http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal

BTW, it is Debian Sid, i.e. unstable, not Lenny, i.e. Testing.

Maybe this works in console, but not in X, just tried.

In X, just chvt ...

You may want to put my debian repository in your sources.list, for ease of upgrading the htcuni-* packages (I'll start putting them in the repository today or tomorrow).
