Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I assume you installed and pinned MohammadAG's package (and didn't edit the preferences file to remove the pin). If so this one is pinned as well. You just replaced MohammadAG's package (same version numbers, etc).

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Actually no, I hadn't touched either of these packages before now. I had just read through Mohammad's thread & was commenting on what I had experienced after installing Tomast's version. TX

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Could you please post up your version of transitions.ini? I'm having some trouble getting the faster kinetic scrolling to work.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I cannot get the same scrolling effect as in MohammadAGs hildon-desktop deb with tomasts one (even after activating deceleration_rate=0.98) but at least all bugs are fixed :)

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I just figured out that hildon-desktop tries to read /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini first with fallback to /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini .... So check /etc/... first.

A working transitions.ini is attached (remove .txt).

deceleration_rate is 0.9999 here, which means that it practically never will stop scrolling by itself. A better value might be 0.99.

Note that you set deceleration rate and not initial speed (which obviously is set by your finger).

I haven't figured out yet if it is supposed to auto-reload the configuration file on change or not (it seems like it does that partially...). I always 'killall hildon-desktop' to be sure.

EDIT: Does anybody know if TMO or browsers adds CRs to .txt-files downloaded from here (for our poor Windows users)? Attaching a .gz version just in case.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I actually installed Mohammad's deb just to find the reason for this, but sadly I wasn't offered to replace it either (without --reinstall).

EDIT: But IF it turns out that the two debs behaves differently in this regard, then read on...

The only important difference that I can find is that Mohammad has changed the deb's "Maintainer" field. It is possible to interpret http://linux.die.net/man/5/apt_preferences *** it matters:
*** = insert some word combination unobvious to a swede like me :confused:


Anyhow, it would be very interresting to see the output of 'apt-cache policy' and 'apt-cache policy hildon-desktop' (or 'apt-cache policy <packagename>') from someone who have seen this "automatic reinstallation" happen on some package. The only thing I can think of now is if those who have this problem have performed an SSU update which have changed some apt settings.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Am I the only one or is it not possible anymore to force the phone application to portrait mode?
Every time I save that setting it reverts back to automatic which is annoying.
I didn't have that problem with MohammadAGs hildon-desktop version before.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Portrait mode, including setting and unsetting, works here.
I don't see how hildon-desktop can be involved in your problem, but you never know...

Simple things to check:
should give something like
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users ..../call-ui.ini
drwxr-xr-x 6 user users .....osso

You can also try (NOT as root)
That should give you portrait mode.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Portrait mode is working for me.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

can we get more than 4 homescreens with just this? or do we need Matan's modified-hildon-desktop for that?

can we run both? im very confused.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

This is the output:

So everything should work but it doesn't and it did with other hildon-desktop versions. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I have reinstalled it and now it works but I cannot get the faster scrolling effect to work (I have tried http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...127#post798127).
Has anyone solved that?

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Does this allow more than 4 desktops?!!

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

NO. You can either install this and have up to 4 desktops, OR install matan's and have up to 9. If you want bath, matan needs to incorporate the latest updates into his package. The best solution would be to ask matan *nicely* to update his package.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

To me, it looks like you should have been locked to portrait mode, so that's strange.
BUT, this is wrong: you have 'root root' where I have 'user users'!
My wild guess: This happened when you added the 'ssc=1' part in July 24.
Could have been fixed with 'chown user:users /home/user/.osso/call-ui.ini' as root.
Rule of thumb: Edit files as user (ie NOT root) within /home/user, and as root outside.

What did you reinstall to get it to work (I'm just curious)?


That post just quotes the default transitions.conf with commented-out settings. To actually increase the speed (or more correct, decrease the slow-down rate), I would recommend

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Yeah, I have done that but it doesn't work.

For some stupid reason I forgot to ask for 'grep -C3 deceleration /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini'. Please show me that output as well.

Have you edited /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini (at Sep 5 12:39)?

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Yes, I have added it but it doesn't help.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Tomast,

no answer to my quick question?

Does this incorporate the ability to have morethan 4 desktops?

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Isn't this an answer to your question?:confused:

Just asking :p

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

The cause is found. deceleration_rate MUST be in the "launcher" section. A section begins with [section-name] and ends with another section start (or end-of-file).

To fix:

1. remove deceleration_rate=0.99 from your file
2. Append (to the very end of the file):
When adding a new section, like "launcher", make sure not to break an existing one. This is why appending is safe. Insertion right before some other section start is ok as well (like at the start of file).

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

That did the trick, thanks!

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

so does this new hildon-desktop fix the catorise(etc) problem that would cause irregular cpu usage and a constant battery drain?

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Yes it does (at least for me) :)

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

works for me too. :)

i didn't pin the app and there's no complaints from apt-get upgrade.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Brandonc: Yes.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

thank you very much, seems to do it.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

help. after installing your custom hildon-desktop i've noticed that my widgets disappear when i connect it to the pc in mass storage mode. I'm not exactly sure if its your hildon-desktop or danny-69's http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61956 because i installed his script first

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Thanks for the updated debian package Tomast. Nice to finally get a fix for this.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Could you consider making a new binary package for us PR 1.3 users? The version is now 2.2.140-1+0m5, so I assume the (fake) version for your package will again cause dependency issues. Might also be worth testing if the real version identity (.141) is ok for PR 1.3 dependencies.

Probably would be best to keep the "2.2.138-1+0m5" version available too as I assume many people still use PR 1.2.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I hope mathan update his package to pr 1.3

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Using dpkg, it is certainly possible to install mathan's .141 version (with the fake 2.2.138-1+0m5 identity) with PR 1.3. dpkg complains about the version downgrade, but there are no dependency errors.

Still, I agree, it would be nice to have a new version with a fake 2.2.140 identity!

Edit : Unfortunately, another package (mp-generic-fremantle-pr) does look for the specific version of hildon-desktop.

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

reading the posts got me to thinking,

now with the updates and all the current updates,

do i still need to uninstall catorize to save battery life?

Sorry if this is a basic question, but could i get the link too of the apps that consume a lot of battery life?

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Hi!
I've been away from this forum for several weeks now (far too busy at work), so I'm not very updated...

But I've updated to PR1.3 myself, and seem to have some excessive cpu usage with hildon-desktop again. I'll try to look into this tonight (If not solved already. Haven't even searched the forum yet)...

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I got bored and performed a compile of hildon-desktop 2.2.141 for PR1.3, with fake version number 2.2.140-1+0m5.

Updated link: http://81.216.215.120/maemo/hildon-d...+0m5_armel.deb

(And here is the old one for PR1.2 only!)

Install with 'dpkg -i' as root.
Restart hildon-desktop with 'killall hildon-desktop' as root.

Hope it works! It's fresh from the compiler, but seems to work for me...

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

Of course I made a mistake on my first attempt, so if you are one of the two who downloaded it before 14:13 GMT, then please redownload using this url to avoid subsequent dependency problems!

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

If you want to use Catorise (or similar*), then you "must" have this fixed version (2.2.141) of hildon-desktop, both on PR1.2 and PR1.3.

And as a great side effect, you can also configure the scrolling speed with this version...

*everything that gives you some sub menu of less than 16 items will likely trig this bug, as I understand it (which probably means that it is an invalid conclusion).

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

wil this work with titans kernel v40??? i have titans kernel and my menu installed on PR1.3

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain
 

I'm approx. 99.9999% sure it does!
