Development
I you want to come to the script kidding party :) join us at
http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/fdom/
Serious developers are welcome too :) but remember "if it's cool, it works(in some way),doesn't annoying(too much) rest of things and fits on the nand it's in" :) we will let scalability, stability, resource saving and so on to the OM guys :)
Warnings
- If after an opkg update/upgrade dialer, contacts and other qtopia-x11 apps don't work and qpe shows an error window you should check whether the startup file is executable, or revert changes.
The following adds permissions of read and execution to the qtopia startup session file:
# chmod a+rx /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia
The following reverts last change to the qtopia startup session file:
# cp /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia.bk~ /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia
Now reboot the neo.
15 Sep Updates
- It seems that there were major updates today that caused dialer to not work , It does happen when you click on dialer and it does exit with Enlightenment error , qucik fix to this is
# ln /opt/Qtopia/bin/qcop /usr/bin/qcop -s
but i believe adding /opt/Qtopia/bin to global system path is better solution (How?).
