RE: [Moblin Dev] Patch to fix network-manager bug

2007-09-05 Thread Brandt, Todd E
Hi Dandan, I've just attached a slightly modified version of the patch
which can be applied directly to the lsb-base package's files after
they've already been installed on a target (this happens automatically
when you create a target).

First create a target, then before you install any fsets, run these
commands:

> cd /usr/src/projects//targets//fs/etc
> cat /lsb-target-fix.patch | patch

This will patch the file: /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh, which is the
installed version of the file lsbfix.patch fixes (the lsb-base install
just changes the name from lsb-base-logging-ubuntu.sh to
lsb-base-logging.sh and copies it to /etc)

In order to apply lsbfix.patch you have to get the lib-base package
source:

> apt-get source lib-base
> cd lsb-3.1
> cat /lsbfix.patch | patch -p1

Then you would rebuild the lsb-base package and install it on the
target. Lsbfix.patch was just meant to be used upstream, sorry for the
confusion.

Subject: [Moblin Dev] Patch to fix network-manager bug

This is a patch to the lsb-base package. It's the cause of the error in
the network-manager installation with moblin-image-creator. 

 

Basically when you install the ubuntu mobile fset, it tries to install
the ubuntu-mobile meta package which points to network-manager and
network-manager-gnome. When network-manager is installed it runs a post
install script that restarts the NetworkManager service. This script
calls the log_daemon_msg function to print out a little message to the
effect of "restarting network manager service... ". Log_daemon_msg is a
function defined in /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh and it attempts to display
the message in a fancy way on the terminal screen. To do this it gathers
info on how many columns there are by calling "tput cols", which it just
assumes returns a valid number. This is the bug. For some reason, "tput
cols" returns -1 when it's called from apt-get from within a
moblin-image-creator target root. This ends up getting processed and
given back to tput as an argument later on and the "-" causes tput to
barf because it thinks the number is an option that doesn't exist. 

 

This patch adds a check to ensure that the column value is usable. The
script already defaults to 80 columns if "tput cols" returns nothing, so
I just expanded that case to include returns of 6 columns or less.

This is a current known issue.  We are working on getting a fix in to
the network-manager package which should fix this.

Hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow.

A workaround exists for now.  Install the core package.  Then manually
install the network-manager package using apt-get.  "apt-get install
network-manager".  You can do this by starting a terminal in the target.

Once you have done that, then install the Fset that you wanted to
install.

This is all well and good.  But to me the main problem is that
"network-manager" is not using invoke-rc.d well enough.  If invoke-rc.d
won't start the service then I think that we should not be restarting
the dbus services.

Enclosed is a patch to "network-manager" which fixes this.  I am not
sure who could test and apply this patch.  I have tested it on my system
and it works.  Maybe Alexander Sack can apply the patch.

Re: support for python home plugin yet?

2007-09-05 Thread Kyle Nitzsche




Thanks for your comments Rodrigo!

No, my description in the wiki page
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UMEGuide/ApplicationDevelopment/AnatomyOfUMEPythonApplication)
of where to put an application's files does not represent a new
standard/requirement for UME. The wiki page describes the way I got it
to work. When you do it this way, the app displays in the UME
Applications > Extras menu. (It would be great if a UME person could
also take a look at the wiki page and comment on my approach.)

One slight correction to what your email said: 
"
in your tutorial you install everything into /usr/share/, so
is this a new standard for ume and one we should adapt to?

"
Actually, the wiki says to put the python file there but to put the
.desktop file in /usr/share/applications, which I found (by trial and
error) works as described above.

The link you gave
(http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HildonDesktopPluginHowto) is good
stuff, and obviously getting a Python IDE going is great! However, I'm
not sure whether it applies directly to what I want to accomplish.

--I'd  like to write a home plugin in Python that displays by default
in the home area at startup.
--I'd like to know exactly what the .desktop file should look like (the
example in the link you provided shows a desktop file for a C plugin)
--And, I'd like to know exactly where the files should go (the python
file and the .desktop file) in UME
--Mostly, I want to be able to explain precisely what a developer needs
to know to get this done, so any help with these details will be
greatly appreciated!

I've tried putting the python file in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop and
putting the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon-home, but
that doesn't seem to work. Perhaps my .desktop file is wrong. I've
tried using Type=default, Type=python and various permutations of
X-Path and Exec (with a shell command to call python and pas it the.py
file) to no avail.

Cheers,
Kyle

You can get the python-hildondesktop package and the pyphantom python

in pyphantom we install into different locations, for example we

Patch to fix network-manager bug

2007-09-05 Thread Brandt, Todd E
This is a patch to the lsb-base package. It's the cause of the error in
the network-manager installation with moblin-image-creator. 

 

Basically when you install the ubuntu mobile fset, it tries to install
the ubuntu-mobile meta package which points to network-manager and
network-manager-gnome. When network-manager is installed it runs a post
install script that restarts the NetworkManager service. This script
calls the log_daemon_msg function to print out a little message to the
effect of "restarting network manager service... ". Log_daemon_msg is a
function defined in /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh and it attempts to display
the message in a fancy way on the terminal screen. To do this it gathers
info on how many columns there are by calling "tput cols", which it just
assumes returns a valid number. This is the bug. For some reason, "tput
cols" returns -1 when it's called from apt-get from within a
moblin-image-creator target root. This ends up getting processed and
given back to tput as an argument later on and the "-" causes tput to
barf because it thinks the number is an option that doesn't exist. 

 

This patch adds a check to ensure that the column value is usable. The
script already defaults to 80 columns if "tput cols" returns nothing, so
I just expanded that case to include returns of 6 columns or less.
