Re: PATH Issue
More newbie problems! I am trying to get ruby running on my 770. I downloaded the tar file and installed it in /var/lib/install/usr. I created a .profile that added that directory to the PATH. After rebooting the 770, it does not seem to be working properly. Here is my .profile: This may not be directly related, but you are making life hard for yourself installing things where they shouldn't be. It looks like you've been reading the (very very) old packaging instructions. Things are no-longer installed under /var/lib/install. Instead they are installed in the usual location /usr/bin and so on. This makes life easier when building things and also means the end user can update the binaries that come pre-installed. It's still not working for me. I logged in as root (sudo gainroot) and did this: cd /usr tar zxvf /media/mmc1/ruby-1.8.4.nok770d.tar.gz I then rebooted the computer. I just grabbed the archive to take a look. My apologies, you were following the instructions in the archive to install it under /var/lib/install/. This is the way programs were installed on the very first version of the 2006 OS. You may therefore find that it won't work when installed under /usr as is the current method. I would try it as is though before re-installing it. Check that the files it installed under /usr/bin (ruby is one of them) have execute permissions. This may be the cause of your current problem. If ruby is unwilling to run from /usr (as it expects certain hard-coded paths for example), install it to /var/lib/install as you had it before and symlink the binaries in /var/lib/install/bin to /usr/bin. I think finding a more up to date version of ruby would be the best bet though. Or asking the people at Rubyforge, where I think your version came from, to remove the --prefix=/var/lib/install/usr they used with configure.

Re: gpe-calendar sounds!!!
Well folks, things did not quite go off as planned... I have the latest OS immage, 2007, version 4.2007.26.8, and other than the base library (Nokia catalog) I also have GPE Stable .. when I install gpe-contacts and gpe-calendar, I get messages saying that installation failed. The software IS installed, and mostly working, but contacts fails to import basic vcards that are imported by the built in contact manager and the calendar freezes, fails (aborts) and does not reliably have an audible alarm. I don't normaly sign EMails with my certs, because I find that obnoxious, but I would like everyone to understand that I'm not a rank amateur! I know SuSE and Red hat real well and have been in the industry for 32 yeard ( Yep, I'm old!)

powerlaunch - power key shortcuts
I'm releasing an initial test version of powerlaunch: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/powerlaunch/ It's trying to go for a different type of launcher and system interface. Some of the reasons that motivated me to work on this came from issues I've had with the default UI: - I want a way to be able to play and control music playing while the device is in my pocket. - Launching programs quickly is not as easy as it could be. Finding the right button on the screen to push is difficult to do quickly and I'd rather use hardware keys with feedback. - In bright light, it's difficult to see the screen well enough to turn up the brightness of the screen so I can see. Other devices have had buttons I could hold to at least temporarily turn on a backlight. - I've realized I don't use any of the functions of systemui at all. I map the long powerkey to softpoweroff and that's the only thing I need to turn on/off the device. So the short power button press is completely wasted for me. What powerlaunch does: It replaces systemui. It actually pretends to be systemui so that it can interact with the rest of the system properly. It intercepts the powerkey press that normally brings up the system menu and gives the user the option to display whatever they want instead. All of the hardware keys (including power and home) can be bound to do what the user wants (such as launch programs, lock the device, reboot, whatever). It is extremely customizable via the config file. The interface is also designed to be configurable using glade. There's an unlimited hierarchy/nesting of modes. For example, you could map some arbitrary combination of keys like left,right,up,right,right to launch your favorite program. Or you could implement a device lock that requires entering the right combination of keys to unlock. It's probably easiest to just install it to see what it can do. For example, I use it to go into pocket music mode by pressing power,select. This immediately blanks the screen, locks the screen, but leaves the keys unlocked. In this mode, I can start/stop, change songs, and change volume using the hardware keys (uses mpc to control mpd). Whenever I hit the cancel button, it locks the keys also and is then in full softpoweroff mode. All of this functionality is specified in the config file. Installation: I would recommend making sure you can log in via ssh to kill the program if necessary, as it is possible to edit the config file in such a way to make it impossible to close the program. And edit /etc/mce/mce.ini to enable softpoweroff with the long power press as softpoweroff will normally close powerlaunch (unless you have told it otherwise). - Install the deb package from https://garage.maemo.org/projects/powerlaunch/ - Stop systemui as root with sudo /etc/init.d/osso-systemui stop - Look at and edit /etc/powerlaunch/powerlaunch.conf (or you won't have any ideas of what keys to press). Most of the documentation that currently exists is inside the config file as comments. - Start powerlaunch as a regular user - If you want to start it and run it in the background, try dsmetool -o /usr/bin/powerlaunch If you decide you don't need systemui like me, you can remove the two init links /etc/rc2.d/*osso-systemui* (nothing bad seems to happen). You can edit the interface by using glade to edit /etc/powerlaunch/powerlaunch.glade and specifying the particular layout you want in the config file. This is probably the least developed part of the program, but the eventual idea is to have templates in the glade file and ways to fill in the template from the config file (e.g. setting images of buttons to correspond to the programs that keys launch as mnemonic aids). The example setup has a not so pretty test interface that should show how buttons can be handled in the config file. Comments and ideas welcome. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: powerlaunch - power key shortcuts
Exciting stuff! A locked screen with unlocked keys is one of the things I've always wanted for music playback. Of course if wouldn't be the same batt usage as the softpoweroff mode (as softpoweroff also disables keyboard interrupts) but it would be acceptable and i'll leave it to Nokians to discuss anyway. Awesome job, I'll try right now. (having a second OS on the mmc makes you fearless) I'll play with powerlaunch.conf in a bit, but asking just for the sake of more discussion in the list: would it work with overlapping profiles? ie. one power key press toggles softpoweroff, but one powerkeypress immediately followed by (ie. in 1500 msecs) another action does something else? Also, if it also detected Nokia 770 cover on/off events it'd make IT2007HE users (as well as regular IT2006 folks) really happy. In my 770 days I always wanted to use the volume buttons with the cover on.
