Re: Seqretary PIM Suite

creating a core-dumps dir on the internal card (2GB space on N810) should result in core files being put there...

Munky, I'm wondering if you are having desktop issues...

When you run emelfm2 from terminal @ root, do you get a GLIB warning in terminal before emelfm2 eventually opens?

Re: Seqretary PIM Suite

Yes, it does come up with that if I open xterm, gain root, then type emelfm2. Cant explain why this behavior is happening with seqretary, I reflashed the other day, and it still wont launch from personal menu...I dont have any other errors or anything of any kind really, no random reboot, no desktop crashes, nothing.

Re: Seqretary PIM Suite

Try creating the core-dumps directory as tso said and see if you can get a core dump.

Re: Seqretary PIM Suite

I did that, tried to open seqretary in xterm, got the segmentation fault, but no core dump.

Re: Seqretary PIM Suite

Question, is the Seq applet supposed to update automatically when an event is added?

I see you have had problems with other programs... I'm guessing you used emelfm2 to copy files like icons over to usr/share/icons/hicolor/whatever.

You may have inadvertently moved something somewhere the system doesn't expect (or want) something to be. :)

Edit: Added after your post in another thread...

^that may have something to do with this. :)

Also, if you are dragging batches of icons that at one time were kept in a windows directory, you could have inadvertently tossed in a hidden windows system file like Thumbs.db. Who knows what weird science that would invoke? :eek:

In any event, until you get that sorted out, I suspect you will continue to have annoyances with using other programs. :)

My applet udates as soon as I've added an event.
I don't know if I have to close Seqretary for that to happen though.

Re: Seqretary PIM Suite

OK, I removed and reinstalled, and it seems to be picking up the additions immediately now.

I was thinking about working a little on this app, perhaps looking to google syncing, but ran into a dependancy I don't recognize, gmcs. Can anyone give me a heads up on this one?

I believe they're just arbitrary names given to four layers on the calendar. Essentially, it's like you had 4 physical calendars, which were all translucent,and could be overlayed. For example, let's say you're a university student, and you have a specific schedule which is the same every week. One week, you have an appointment which requires you to miss a lecture. Rather than editing the school schedule to make a recurrence exception, you can just assign the appointment event to a higher-level layer, and it will supersede anything on a lower layer.
This is just my conceptual understanding from features I've seen elsewhere - I haven't actually tried it on Seqretary, so I might be a bit off, but that's the behaviour I would expect. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
