No Problem But Please Make STAR TREK lockscreen in Landscape only because i like it only in Landscape.

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me; I've just got an N900 from a friend having drowned my previous handset a week or two ago. I've had no problems with it at all until I started trying to configure QtLockscreen. I'm not exactly new to Linux, but I'm not particularly experienced either.

This thread has provided me with the wallpaper I want to use [1] and I like the layout of the default QtLockscreen and maenotify combined so I don't require any other changes to it.

I've tried both editing the .ini and copying/renaming the wallpaper to the default folder (using mv), but neither have worked, so I'm stuck with the wrong wallpaper right now.

So, I'm wondering if anyone would be willing/able to help me get this wallpaper onto my lockscreen?

If you have doublechecked that you got everything right (filenames, folders, .ini etc) you may need to downsize the image.

The right resolution is 800X480 and a preferably a .png file type

So my plan is, since all I want to change about the default qtlockscreen config is the wallpaper, to mv the wallpaper to the location specified in the .ini, replacing the default one.

Tried this again just now, with a png file at the correct size, and this is what happened:

I assume this is related to my not doing it as root, but frankly, I'm not sure I know what I'm doing well enough to play about as root

This is an example:

Original .ini (the default one):

BackGroundImageL="/etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png"

You have to change it like this:

BackGroundImageL="/home/user/MyDocs/.images/loverainbow.png"

Greetings.

Hi Tajasel may I sugest you to use Filebox its easy to anyone to use, another thing that I think it worth to mention is after check your .ini file and pictures are on the right place dont forget to refresh qtlockscreen or killall qtlocklcreen tasks.

I have the same issue doing this as I did simply moving the image:

I was just about to suggest the same and ad that you should also download Sakya's QtLockscreen Configuration from extras. everytime you make a change, choose and assign as new Lockscreen and you're set

I've got both the Config and QtLockscreen itself installed, and know how to choose a new lockscreen. That isn't the problem I've described - it's trying to make edits to the ini file at all that I'm having trouble with.

It's no good knowing how to choose a new lockscreen when you can't get the lockscreen to look the way you want... all I'm trying to do is change the wallpaper of it.

I eventually tried doing it as sudo, but as I don't know the default sudo password, I hit a brick wall there too. And when I tried to get root, the terminal returned something about breaking the device - not exactly encouraging!

I'm getting quite frustrated now

I just went through the wiki and saw that Sakya advices not to mess with the default configuration! He wants to keep the default lockscreen functioning right if all else fails probably.

So what I would do is copy the default folder and .ini and rename them to, say, mylockscreen.

Paste them in /opt/qtlockscreen

edit the .ini and replace all "default" to "mylockscreen" in the paths

then change the background image to the one you like

that should do it
