Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

I had these issues as well but these were mainly due to trying to ad sudo gainroot to the script...

Example:

I want homunculus to start from root...
I couldn't make a script that worked so all hell broke loose and I got errors about hildon-desktop closing down

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Ahh, this actually ties in with something I was doing.

The first time I installed it was working perfectly, until I tried to start cuteexplorer as root... Think I used:

sudo gainroot; cuteexplorer - had no idea if that was right but it didn't like it! I've since uninstalled and reinstalled and now I can't get it to load up even once which is a shame. Any solution?

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

To both of you:

echo "command" | sudo gainroot

Ahh I wish I'd known that before I killed the app...!! It doesn't let me do anything with it if I reinstall now...This is why linux n00bs shouldn't play with these things. *points finger at himself*

Any idea what the app could have done to hildon-desktop though? Seemingly everytime I reinstall it, something has been leftover from the previous install...

I will be flashing when/if 1.2 comes out but would prefer to not before that.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Try purging the app first (package mgmt link in my sig).

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Here's a little python script I use to get the verse of the day from BibleGateway

Code:

import feedparser

try:

        feed_in = feedparser.parse('http://www.biblegateway.com/votd/get/?format=atom')

        try:

                feed = str(feed_in.entries[0].title)

                print feed

        except:

                print 'No Content'

except:

        print 'Not Connected'

You need the feedparser module which can be gotten from Here

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Hi all,
Please i'll apreciate a little help with QBW scripting.

Yes, i know if i do echo "command" | sudo gainroot, it will work.
But..and if it is not a "command" ?

Just like this..I want to make 2 profiles with my personalized OC settings (day\night profile). I'll put here the code for one of them:

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal
rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power
echo 125000 250000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/avoid_frequencies
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load
/usr/sbin/kernel-load

How can i make it run with QBW?
If i run it at Xterm, with root, it works.
If i try it with QBW, it doesent work.

I've tried this too, but..nothing..

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal
rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power | sudo gainroot
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power | sudo gainroot
echo "echo 125000 250000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/avoid_frequencies" | sudo gainroot
echo "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load" | sudo gainroot
/usr/sbin/kernel-load |sudo gainroot

Can please anyone help me? it works like i want on Xterminal.but cant 'export' it to Queen Beecon Widget..help please... (actualy, it acept the code, with no errors but it doesent change any values.

You cannot paste it directly into QBW.
You need to connect to X-Terminal for that and then...:

Code:

 ~ $

cd /home/user

cat > myscript.sh

<here you paste the script>

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power

ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power

echo 125000 250000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/avoid_frequencies

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load

/usr/sbin/kernel-load



<then you press CTRL-D and you get the prompt again>



~ $ chmod 755 myscript.sh

Now you can "AddCmd": echo "/home/user/myscript.sh" | sudo gainroot

... and see what happens.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

It dont have the result i've expected.
(if i do it from xterminal, line by line, it works ... )

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Is there another way to execute that commands with 'root' ?! Or i'm doing anything wrong with that method of script.sh ?
