What was the output of:
ls -ld /home/user/LOCKSCREENQUOTES

For the chown command, try:
chown user [dirname]

well, your user 'user' already owns the directory, so no need for the chown command.

Are you running those commands as root or user?
Do
whoami
to know (the # at the start of the line indicates root). If you are logged in as developer, I can see that would be a problem...

as user, do:
touch /home/user/LOCKSCREENQUOTES/.test.png
chmod a+w /home/user/LOCKSCREENQUOTES/.test.png
chmod a+w /home/user/LOCKSCREENQUOTES

and btw you should normally run the script as user, not as root, iirc...

For your information:
I succeeded to create an application which shows daily bible verses om the standbyscreen.
It does all the needed steps needed as mentioned in post #1. Uninstalling it will undo those changes again.
I will release the code once I tested it a bit more.

I've been waiting for long for LPSMagic 2.0 with plugin system and there seems to be no news on that. So tired of waiting, I're rewritten this app from the group up with a modular structure. I will release it formally when I've polished it a bit and packed it. Right now I'm uploading just the files which can be placed according to the directory structure in the archive.

Basics:

The app is named USbS (Useful Standby Screen). It can display the output of any script placed in /home/user/USbS/Scripts/. It works more or less like QBW on the n900.

Out of the box, I've included 4 scripts- random_line.sh, daydate.sh, weather.sh and iplresults.sh (the first 3 were written for this app, while the last was taken directly from a script I made fr Queen Beecon Widget on my N900 during the cricket world cup)

If the files are placed in the proper places, a new menu item will be available under Settings>Applications>USbS. This is where the behaviour of the aapp can be controlled.

When I create a deb, default values will be created, but for now, please use the following values as default.
Code:
Plugin Name: random_line.sh
Color Name: white
Time Interval: any one
Random File Name: Scripts/tagline.txt
Location: any one, eg London
You can change these values as required.

You can run the app by typing USbS.sh into the terminal (needs developer mode). Right now, I've made it not run on boot or run silently. This is so that bugs can be caught and identified.

If you're getting permission errors running USbS.sh, become root and do
Code:
chmod +x /usr/bin/USbS.sh
Do let me know what you think.

PS:dependencies are python, python-imaging and wget
Attached Files
File Type: zip USbS.zip (438.6 KB, 139 views)
