Just a list of rather random comments used mainly as a bloc notes for me. Please send me any comments -- Stuart Pook.
The entry in /etc/network/interfaces. I use /30 as my home network is 192.168.0.0/24. I have a local nameserver.

I partitioned by hand because of a problem with fdisk. Changing the type of a partition seems to block with the fdisk from Om 2007.

Well, install.sh - v3.0, from wiki.debian.org fails.

http://www.mail-archive.com/smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org/msg01544.html explains that you have to download install-info_4.13a.dfsg.1-4_armel.deb in the middle of the installation.

Make a tar of /mnt/debian so that I don't have to go through all this agian.
Now I have debian on my SD card but the touchscreen doesn't work.
http://neil.brown.name/blog/20090212205404 says that it might just be a calibration problem.
apt-get install libts-bin
TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0 DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/ts_calibrate
Let's read http://www.mail-archive.com/smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org/msg01205.html which suggests
# apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Did apt-get install xserver-xglamo
then ran /usr/bin/Xglamo which says
Failed to open TSLib device, tried /dev/ts /dev/touchscreen/0 . Try setting TSLIB_TSDEVICE to valid /dev entry?
Ok, a link ln -s input/touchscreen0 /dev/ts
. /usr/bin/Xglamo works, update /etc/X11/xorg.conf Debian#Xglamo_acceleration and I have a touchscreen that works.
# apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Dropbear looks for /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth [Debian bug] but xauth is in /usr/bin/xauth and /usr/bin/X11/xauth. Make a symlink.
ln -s . /usr/X11R6
Need to read http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunnerTips and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500626
Install connman
and edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/connman.conf to replace user="root"
with group="messagebus"
otherwise you get the messages
wifi.py 98 wifi WARNING can't use wifi service : org.moblin.connman.Error.PermissionDenied: Permission denied service.py 128 Service ERROR Can't init service Wifi : org.moblin.connman.Error.PermissionDenied: Permission denied
if you do not run as root.
Connman does not appears to start at boot. Try
cd /etc/rc2.d && mv S01connman S10connman
Mokomaze does not work if you are not root. To fix (let me know if this is not right)
chmod 666 /dev/input/event3 /sys/class/leds/neo1973:vibrator/brightness
to get a nice small font (but not too small), ~/.Xresources should contain
URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=4.0
Vala-terminal is better.
I want to run a program when I plug the USB in. This program will try to workout where
I am and setup the domain and http proxy correctly. A script can be run my creating
/etc/udev/rules.d/00-usb-stuart.rules<code>
ENV{POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE}=="1", KERNEL=="usb", RUN+="/bin/sh -c /etc/network/proxy-setup&"
This script is run twice (and perhaps in parallel) so be careful.
This is my first script to automatically set the http and ftp proxies. It also sets the domain so that smtp resolves to a working smtp server. At the moment I am only using USB networking and this program will have to be modified if I want to use both at once.

<code>/etc/environment contains a junk http proxy address and iptables is used to redirect this to a remote proxy if one is required or a proxy on the Freerunner. This avoids using the proxy on the Freerunner if a remote proxy is available and allows me to change the proxy for running programs.
