As far as Maemo-blogger is concerned (the one I have originally posted on my
blog), it can run on any nokia tablet that has python2.5. I myself have only
n770. I am not sure about maemo-wordpy.

powerlaunch: complete mce/systemui replacement

[Austin Che]

powerlaunch 0.7 has now been released. This is the first release
with a mce replacement and a goal of having the default install be
a drop-in replacement for systemui/mce. Ideally, you should be
able to just install the package and see no (or little) noticeable
change in the UI. But underneath, both systemui and mce should no
longer be running.

Homepage and download: http://powerlaunch.garage.maemo.org/

There are two main programs. powered is the daemon that runs as
root and replaces mce. It implements the entire mce dbus interface
(plus additional functions) so in theory other programs shouldn't
notice any difference. powerlaunch runs as the user and handles
the GUI and responds to events.

Even though powerlaunch was designed to emulate systemui/mce, I
was not trying to emulate the software architecture. The goal was
to make something much more customizable. powerlaunch itself is
now completely general and knows nothing about the
platform. Everything is specified via config files. This makes it
trivial to add things to the menu, add different menu screens,
etc. (e.g. turn on/off bluetooth, toggle usb host, launch
programs, etc.).

This code has only been tested on OS2008 on N800. It might work on
a N810 but I don't have one to test. powered does have some
low-level stuff like LED handling which I think may be different
on N810. Also, key codes and such may be different on the N810.

This is alpha code. It has been tested and used only by me. On the
other hand, I think it's generally usable enough. If anyone wants
to test it and let me know if there's anything different from
default behavior, that would be great. 

The systemui features that should work: power key menu,
touchscreen/keypad lock, online/offline mode, device lock,
shutdown, reboot, softpoweroff, and acting dead. Some things from
systemui that are not yet implemented include the alarm dialog (I
never use it so I don't even know what that is) and the
splashscreen (would be trivial). Powered should have more features
than mce (e.g. you can selectively lock the screen) although there
are some mce modules that I'm not sure exactly what they do.

If you want to customize stuff, look at the home page and the
existing config files, but documentation is currently a bit
sparse. Note you can make your system unusable so I'd recommend
being logged in remotely when installing/playing with it. I did
put in a failsafe mode in powered which may help (like a
ctrl-alt-del reboot).

Hey Daniel,

I looked at the maemo-wordpy source code.  It is pretty big for me to go
through and patch. Comparatively the blogger.com specific code is extremely
tiny.

In fact I will paste in this email the source code that will get it working.
It is so small, because the GData library is packaged separately. I have
created the .deb installable for it and you can find it
here

Assuming that above library is installed all you need is following class
definition:

try:
  from xml.etree import ElementTree # for Python 2.5 users
except:
  from elementtree import ElementTree

from gdata import service
import gdata
import atom

class Blogger:

  def __init__(self, email, password):
"""Creates a GDataService and provides ClientLogin auth details to it.
The email and password are required arguments for ClientLogin.  The
'source' defined below is an arbitrary string, but should be used to
reference your name or the name of your organization, the app name and
version, with '-' between each of the three values."""

# Authenticate using ClientLogin.
self.service = service.GDataService(email, password)
self.service.source = 'Blogger_Python_Sample-1.0'
self.service.service = 'blogger'
self.service.server = 'www.blogger.com'
self.service.ProgrammaticLogin()

# Get the blog ID for the first blog.
feed = self.service.Get('/feeds/default/blogs')
self_link = feed.entry[0].GetSelfLink()
if self_link:
  self.blog_id = self_link.href.split('/')[-1]

  def CreatePost(self, title, content, author_name, is_draft):
"""This method creates a new post on a blog.  The new post can be stored
as
a draft or published based on the value of the is_draft parameter.  The
method creates an GDataEntry for the new post using the title, content,
author_name and is_draft parameters.  With is_draft, True saves the post
as
a draft, while False publishes the post.  Then it uses the given
GDataService to insert the new post.  If the insertion is successful,
the
added post (GDataEntry) will be returned.
"""

# Create the entry to insert.
entry = gdata.GDataEntry()
entry.author.append(atom.Author(atom.Name(text=author_name)))
entry.title = atom.Title(title_type='xhtml', text=title)
entry.content = atom.Content(content_type='html', text=content)
if is_draft:
  control = atom.Control()
  control.draft = atom.Draft(text='yes')
  entry.control = control

# Ask the service to insert the new entry.
return self.service.Post(entry,
  '/feeds/' + self.blog_id + '/posts/default')

if __name__ == '__main__':
blogger = Blogger(username,password)
content = 'Here goes the blog's content'
title = 'Title'
post = blogger.CreatePost(title,content,username,is_draft=False)

if post:
print  post.title.text

=

The above example will just post on blog. If you want to do other things
like list all posts, comments, etc., then you can take a look at this
file

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need any other help.

Re: how to access media content from home network to maemo

How did you do this? I tried browsing with the file manager, but I don't see
Samba shares.

Not exactly what you want, but I've just discovered that OS2008
automatically finds and lets you access Samba shares.  This will work
fine on a LAN, but probably won't be as useful for Bluetooth dialup.

Re: N800, apps crash when accessing the file manager

[Kahlil Johnson]

well I went in and found this:

/var/lib/apt/lists/partial $ ls
maemo-hackers.org_apt_dists_bora_Release.gpg
repository.maemo.org_extras_dists_bora_free_binary-armel_Packages.decomp

I delete them and went into file manager but still got the same issue
of the application crashing on me.

Any other idea?

Syncing the IT OS200x address books with linux desktop

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

I found on several locations that opensync can sync GPE and a linux desktop 
apps like kaddressbook/evolution/ Since telepathy is using the the OS200x 
built-in addressbook, I am wondering if somebody found a way (or at least a 
plan) to sync the built-in address book with opensync

Many thanks,
Rainer

That sounds great, but what about 770's users?...Will this also be available
for us?

There's no Blogger client for 770. Maemo-blog only works with old version of
Blogger... So that I had to open a new account in WordPress...

pwsafe.install error

[David Dyer-Bennet]

Installing the n800 security app pwsafe from maemo.org, it downloads the 
install file, and when Application Manager runs it, it pops up an 
"operation failed" or some such box.  Looking at tools > log... in 
Application manager, the last line is:

/var/tmp/pwsafe.insall: Key file contains line 'note: dist is 
determined automatically by AppMgr' whic is not a key-value pair, group, 
or comment.

I had to download the file again, it was gone by then, but indeed it 
includes such a line, which doesn't seem to fit the syntax of the part 
of the file it appears in.

Keyboard-based navigation on N800 OS2007?

[Jason Edgecombe]

Hi,

My bluetooth keyboard works well for taking notes for my N800 running
OS2007, but I find it cumbersome to switch between the keyboard and pen
input.

My workflow goes like this:
1. I'm creating a note and I want to start Xterminal
2. I start Xterminal using the pen input
3. I have to use the pen/finger input two switch between the two apps.

Are there keyboard accellerator keys for doing the following operations:
* opening and choosing from the main menu of applications
* switching between applications
* navigating within microb, notes, and xterminal

Is there improved keyboard navigation support in OS2008?

Thanks,
Jason

Thanks.

I had thought to add support for other blogging systems, among them
blogger.com, in future versions. But if you can do a patch for blogger
it will be welcome, of course.

In the SVN is the most updated version it still has some bugs. It
has only few comments, so if you have some question you don't
hesitate to do it.

The SVN version needs flickrapi, for some flickr options, but
commenting these lines it can work without flickrapi (except the flickr
part). 
Also in chinook it needs python-gtkhtml that it's in the garage
(https://garage.maemo.org/projects/python-gtkhtml2/) or in the
extras-devel repository.

Best Regards.

N800, apps crash when accessing the file manager

[Kahlil Johnson]

Hi anyone know this issue? The file manager seems to be damaged since
everytime I get apps to open a file the file manager makes the app
crash and then a message of 'updatign' appears.

I wonder if there is a way to fix this besides re-installing the
firmware. Thanks.
