GUI for Linux Flasher

[Aisu]

Yo!

I really don't know why no one has done something so simple but useful as this before, but it really doesn't matter, so now I get to to do it for everyone :D

This is for Ubuntu and it should work on Debian systems.

This is PyFlash. The Nokia Flasher has been packaged as as a deb file along with a super simple GUI I wrote in Python. I have never packaged anything for Ubuntu before, so I'm a little iffy with this one. It installed under "Others" on my application bar thing. So, I dunno where it'll install for you ;)

Alright, my code is released under the GNU GPL:
Unavailable

Please tell me if there are any problems or if it does not work!

Then put a wget to their website.

Rah what a waste...

It is quite needed, I also don't like googling for options again and again..

edit:
ok maybe don't do wget
:D

Hmm... time to look at that 0xffff (or whatever hex value it was :)) free alternative flasher?

Well I have a couple of questions,


1) do you really need a gui, its pretty simple to use?

2) Can the gui be distributed without the flasher, people can download the flasher from maemo?

3) Have you contacted the new Nokia forum, perhaps Nokia could host the pyflasher along with the flasher program.

Seriously though I have the command line options burned in my brain, but even if I didn't just typing ./flasher-3.0 will give you all the command line options. If that is too much, maybe you should be flashing from Windows?

Not trying to be a prick, but seriously your running linux already?

Hey penguinbait why do you use kde?

Why not doing all your stuff with /bin/sh and /bin/cat ?

:D

Personnaly, I don't flash often enough to remember the options to pass. Neither do I have the time to know what is FIASCO, NOLO,........................
And last time, I was without internet, with this image and I tried several combinations. And then I thought.. uhh this is a flasher, maybe not play with too many options..

And maybe others would like it..

I'll just make an alias that's it
