In progress: This article or section documents one or more features whose implementation are in progress. |
Until OpenMoko releases an official GUI-Tool to change settings, SettingsGUI allows you to set various settings of the gta01.
This programm is written in Python using pygtk. It can be used only if those are present in your environment.
(see SettingsGUI#Environment)
This is still experimental.
If you have problems connecting check:
The connection will be terminated when you quit the application.
However saved peer configurations can be called independently using:
pppd debug call gprs # where gprs is the peer
Default configuration files are defined in GlobalConfiguration.py. The peer configuration, a connect- and disconnect chat script are written to /etc/ppp/peers/ on first startup if you don't already have a peer in /etc/ppp/peers/. When the connect button is pressed SettingsGUI will create latest_* files in /etc/ppp/peers/ and start the pppd with this latest_* peer.
SettingsGUI also brings a default Nameserver in case you don't have a valid /etc/resolve.conf. The IP is from the OpenDNS Project and will only work if your GPRS provider allows DNS access to this server.
If you have to change anything else than APN, user, password or dial in number for your provider please leave a note at the Discussion Page.
For details and background information on GPRS see Manually using GPRS.

Thanks to Alessandro there also is an .ipk and a .bb file. Have a look at his user site.
The following archives will have to be installed (source packages python and python-pygtk):
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. |
