Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
Hi all,
I have been trying to get Fremantle beta installed today after my recent upgrade to Jaunty (yes, I know Xephyr has a problem with hildon-desktop on Jaunty), and I've been having a few problems. Basically, when I was installing the sdk with the script, I was getting missing dependencies due to nokia-binaries being missing. I'm sure I wasn't setting everything right for both targets also, but I finally got everything installed (I think) by installing nokia-binaries, and then maemo-sdk-dbg with "fakeroot apt-get install". But when I run the desktop with "af-sb-init.sh start", I get this small rounded box with 6 squares in it. When I click on that (which takes *ages*), I get a choice of 3 icons, app manager, settings and applications - clicking on any of these eventually brings me back to the starting screen. In the terminal, I have lots of error messages floating by as I'm doing this. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? What should I have installed that I didn't to get the nice hildon desktop I've seen in screenshots? Thanks! Dave. (selected terminal messages below) Code:
hildon-desktop[32268]: GLIB CRITICAL ** Clutter - clutter_actor_set_scalex: X scale is being set to 0 |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
There have been some serious speed issues reported on Intel video chipsets ( < 5 fps) ... I had no problems with my nVidia 8800 video card...
I'm not sure why you're being brought back to the start screen from those icons, however. That should do something more... |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
I know when I first installed the Fremantle SDK the Application Manager just would not launch (well, it would launch then just crash immediately). Now it works fine, don't know what changed...
Are you able to customize the home screen any? Or just do any logical interaction with the UI? Also, it may be helpful to post a screenshot of what you're actually seeing. |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
Did you do clean install, after you figured you did not install the Nokia binaries? Perhaps I'm mistaking but I remember, with previous SDK, after I fixed installing the Nokia binaries later (did not opt for at run then was not able to run SDK well), it still would not work correct even though they were installed afterwards, after failing to run without. Then, I removed the whole /scratchbox and started over, after which it did work.
What kind of video driver do you use for X? Hardware accelerated? You are on x86-32? I was thinking of suggesting virtual machine for Maemo, but seems to be for Diablo; not for Fremantle (yet). |

Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
Um, what command did you use to start Xephyr? The display looks square, it should 800x480...
Edit: And yes, you're seeing what you're supposed to, minus a background image (and the screen looks truncated). |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
For this screenshot, I just ran Xephyr :2
Previously I was running (c&p from Maemo docs) "Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -kb" The result is the same. So, where do I get the background? Cheers, Dave. |

If you tap somewhere near the top of the Xephyr window (but not the 2x3 icon) it should give you a gear icon towards the right of the screen. After several more taps you should be able to chose a background image. |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
I think Dave is wondering why his install isn't showing a background image. That is an excellent question. It should be part of the standard SDK install...

Thanks! Dave. |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
I think that rm -rf /scratchbox is not enough to really uninstall scratchbox ...

Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
Had the same issues as Dave when installing the SDK beta for the first time. After reinstalling everything worked. Yeah, not really helpful... :-/

Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
And if you have an Intel graphics chipset you might be SOL on the performance issues too... Go buy a cheap nVidia or ATI graphics card...

Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
So, go buy a cheap desktop computer with an nVidia or ATI graphics chipset then :p :D

Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
I suspect you are still missing software. What does your /etc/apt/sources.list file look like?

Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
I have had this very same issue on my netbook (Dell Mini 9) with an intel 945GME.
I've just updated to Beta 2 and altough it's not 3D accelerated (at least, it doesn't sound like), the whole emulator is MUCH MUCH faster and really usable now. Dave, did you try to update? anidel |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
Some problems happened to my env.
When I finished installing nokia-binaries into my env-Ubuntu, I did the following steps: first,add the nokia binaries path into the /etc/apt/sources.list. second, Quote:
And now i do not know how to install these packages showed above, anyone could give me the right URL that can be added into the sources.list,so that my env can be created correctly. thanks a lot. best regards. |
Re: Getting started with Fremantle and Xephyr
Please, can someone move this thread to the Development forum where it will probably get better developer attention and support. Thank you!
