Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

did you try running it from x-term as described in a previous post? would be interested to see if it works :) or chucks out errors

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

in what way do u mean "just removed all of the cellular info functions"
as in just uninstall it?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Sorry - i just removed the ceullar functions from the code - to see if that will fix the bug :D

Trying to locate where it is crashing, so stripping out all code that could be doing it. I'm aware that it then has less functionality - but will re-build it back in :D

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

New version 0.4.2-4 is in the build queue - so should be about 10 mins

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Ok.... so not the dbus calls, and not the threading.
Still crashing.
Getting no errors or warnings now my end.

Changed the file save location to store the Front cam test image to \home\user\MyDocs\
New version -5 going into the auto builder!

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Ok well i'm now baffled.....
No errors my side, no threading, no dbus, and changed the image location...

what would cause it to just crash out? :(
v -5 doesnt work either :(

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

This might sound confusing at first, but do you have object you're not the owner of ? I.e. a Qt object that you use from Python, but which is created/owned/destroyed by a native Qt object ? Most of the times I oops myself with PyQt is when an object implicitly gets destroyed behind the scenes and I call upon it not realizing it's gone. It would be great if you could strace the app (or get a traceback) to see where exactly is it crashing.

EDIT:
Also, can you paste the .desktop file you're using ?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

ooo strace - any quick hints on how to do that ? (Assuming a terminal call?)

will check the code when i get back to a big pc... more confused as it's running fine locally with no errors, so maybe a file or path error?

But not helpful with no bug reports/feedback

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

.desktop code as follows
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=HealthCheck
Comment=N900 Health Check, test the front camera, GPS, battery and more
Exec=/opt/healthcheck/healthcheck.py
Icon=healthcheck
X-Icon-path=/usr/share/icons Path to the icon
X-Window-Icon=healthcheck
Type=Application
X-Osso-Service=com.nokia.healthcheck
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
StartupWMClass=HealthCheck

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

If the code you gave me earlier is what you are running..

Don't you need a:
#!/usr/bin/python

Or whatever the appropriate path is for python on the N900 at the beginning?

That could by why the desktop icon isn't working.

You want either:
Or add the line above to the top of healthcheck.py.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Thanks Fatalsaint, again!

Got the (hashkey not working)! /usr/bin/env python
at the beginning

assuming the Exec=python /opt/healthcheck/healthcheck.py is for the .desktop file? (replace current line?)

(the icon loads, and it looks like the application loads, so not sure the error is there.)

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Yes you can do one, or the other, or both..

Adding #!/usr/bin/env python to the top of healthcheck.py will allow you to either:
In a terminal.. Or use the Exec code you have right now. Not having that line in the file, requires you to pass it to python first with either:
Etc....

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Ok, tried again with the exec python part - doesnt make a difference :(

So to confirm, .desktop has
Exec=python /opt/healthcheck/healthcheck.py

and the healthcheck.py file has #!/usr/bin/env python as it's first line.

The icon installs, it starts to run, and then just crashes out and dissapears....

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

With X-Osso-Service present in your desktop file, changing the Exec field there won't make a difference. Edit /usr/share/dbus-1/services/HealthCheck.service instead.

If the problem is that it crashes after some seconds when starting it from the menu (starting it from the terminal shouldn't cause it to crash) you need to initialize an osso.Context since you're using X-Osso-Service.

Try something like:
If that fails, too, then you can try replacing the previous X-Osso-Type line with X-Osso-Type=application/x-python

If that also fails, comment out the X-Osso-Service line in your desktop file. Of course, only try all this if your program doesn't crash when started from the terminal.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

I'm assuming the code is to go in my healthcheck.py file, and not the service file?
does run fine from terminal.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Yessssssir.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Okey dokey, trying the osso stuff and will see how it goes :)

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Well
didn't work, will try the rest when i get home in 20 mins :D

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Just realised, not actually using python-osso.....

So removing traces of it from my code and the .desktop / build_app files....
Does that mean i can remove the lines
from the .desktop file too?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Just installed and same results as rest starts and then crashes just before launch. Getting there though Noob keep churning that code :)

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Cheers Casper - i'ma trying - have to admit, learnt how to upload to extras-dev pretty well today!!!

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Holy whohoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Removed the osso stuff and it's working!!!

Qwerty - how many beers do i owe you now? :D

OK quick update - the code is the extremely slow cut down version! - will re-add everything and see where i get!!

edit - omfg.... that took a while!! ... and.......... relax!
edit * 2 - version in extras dev now is working 0.4.2-8

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Version 0.4.2-9 - Going through autobuilder now :D
Re-enabled threading and Dbus Calls as well as cell info

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

I can confirm ver 0.4.2-8 is up and running. Loaded GPS Camera ect. Just looking through it now will report laters. Well done Noob.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Yay! and thankee, v9 is out - but for some reason my phone is still running 8... so figuring out why... Gonna uninstall and re-install and see what happens, if not i'll re-compile for v10.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

noobmonkey, did you do an apt-get update first?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

hehe - was just a noob mistake :) - i re-installed 8 before 9 was ready :)
Just waiting for it to get through autobuilder :) - but 8 works - so big step forward!

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

ok 0.4.2-9 Works fine, everything re-enabled...
Does do a weird vanishing act for a second after running, but i have been beasting my poor n900 today!

Ready for an annouce i feel! :D

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Just installed, looks great.

I am not seeing front camera image should this be working now?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Point it near a bright lightbulb when you start or press update! (really bad camera quality!)
It also only collects 1 frame, so not sure of the aperture.

edit - thank you for the screeny! great to see it on someone elses device!!

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Have created an annouce thread! - so any bugs etc can go in there until i get a bugs account :D
But happy to keep this thread alive about the learning to code aspect etc :D

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

I can confirm the front camera does load but it is very very dark. everything else is working perfect so far.
Also confirm the disappearing just after launch but thats no biggy.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

thanks casp, i think i can fix the front camera a bit by polling it for 50+ shots (only saves the last one), but i can't improve the quality unfortunately.
Will add the random reload to the bugs list.

Could you tell me roughly how many seconds it takes to load, and for an update please? (Button goes disabled then re-enabled when done)?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

I have tried pointing the camera directly at a light bulb, still no picture.

Tried runing gstreamer code directly in xterm,
get "sh: gst-launch: not found".

Something very strange here.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Oooo intruiiiging

it does need gstreamer, but thought all n900's had that?
might have found it's first fault?

edit - in x-term you could try

i set 100 buffers as that should make it a bit brighter, not much though.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Takes 8.3 secs to load rom cold and 4.4 secs for a reload. I have Gstreamer from the extras-decoders app.
At the time of loading I only have the app and browser open.

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Apparently not

apt-get install gstreamer-tools is mentioned in this article

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

Just a random thought:

If stackable windows are too complicated to implement right now, what about having each "tab" listed as an option in the app menu (that shows up when you click on the titlebar)?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

hmmmm wonder if i can include this as an import to auto-download the tools on install?

Re: [Maemo 5] HealthCheck - Pymaemo/Qt - Learning to code (N900)
 

hmmm does take a while doesn't it...
if i take out the GPS part it cuts it down to about 3 seconds.... - just takes a little bit of time to warm it up....
