Just a list of rather random comments used mainly as a bloc notes for me. Please send me any comments -- Stuart Pook.

[edit] /etc/network/interfaces
The entry in /etc/network/interfaces. I use /30 as my home network is 192.168.0.0/24. I have a local nameserver.

[edit] Installing Debian
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.
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 2032 MB, 2032664576 bytes 4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 62032 cylinders Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 1 57984 1855480 83 Linux /dev/mmcblk0p2 57985 62032 129536 82 Linux swap
Well, install.sh - v3.0, from wiki.debian.org fails.

Make a tar of /mnt/debian so that I don't have to go through all this agian.

[edit] Touchscreen
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.
[edit] Cleanup
# apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom
[edit] Dropbear
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
I replaced dropbear with openssh-server.
[edit] connman
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
[edit] mokomaze
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
[edit] rxvt-unicode
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.
[edit] network configuration when USB pluged-in
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.
[edit] http proxy and /etc/resolv.conf setup
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.
