Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Your initial command looks wrong:

Code:

mupen64plus Mydocs/n64\ roms/super-Mario-64.z64

Seems like it should be a / instead of \ and with no space:

Code:

osso-xterm -e "mupen64plus MyDocs/n64/roms/super-Mario-64.z64" &

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

No, the folder's name is "n64 roms" with a space.

Sash	2010-07-05 19:45

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Then it should be

Code:

osso-xterm -e "mupen64plus MyDocs/n64 roms/super-Mario-64.z64" &

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

thought the terminal uses "\ " as space? I got the command from the xterm with tab, and if i use it in the xterm it works. it just doesn't work with the qbw.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

It works now. There was a little misspelling. "Mydocks" instead of MyDocks"
lol dumb one :p

Thanks for your help.

No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Here's an advanced version of the Queen Beecon Flickr Widget which takes advantage of several of new features in versions >=0.1.9.x

In particular:

http://i48.tinypic.com/34oezj9.jpg

More specifically:

When the Flickr Widget gets loaded, on phone startup, it just updates itself by fetching a random image
Every time the desktop, where the Flickr Widget is on, gets active, the widget just updates itself by fetching a random image
Every 30 minutes the Flickr Widget just updates itself by fetching a random image
When the Flickr Widget is clicked in sector idx=9 it opens the browser and fetches the specific page where the image is located thus allowing to experience more details about it

Let's focus on the script in a much readable format:

Code:

if [ "_$QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS" == "_9" ] ; then

$QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS variable gets substituted at run-time with the index of the position where the widget was clicked

Code:

        run-standalone.sh dbus-send

                --system 

                --print-reply 

                --type=method_call 

                --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser 

                /com/nokia/osso_browser/request 

                com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url

In this case we just issue the dbus command which spawn the browser and loads the URL specified by next parameter

Code:

string:"$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT";

$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT variable gets substituted at run-time with the content of the results text of the widget itself (which in this case is hidden but still present) that contains the url of the image details page

Code:

else

If the widget update occurred due to other update policies (startup, timer, click on sectors other then 9, desktop switch...)

Code:

a=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=1 | od -i | head -n 1 | cut -f2- -d' '`;x=`expr $a % 24`;

We compute a random value between 0 and 24

Code:

        wget 

                -t 1 

                -T 10 

                -q 

                -U "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20091127 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.5.6 RX-51 N900" 

                -O - 

                "http://m.flickr.com/explore/interesting/"

We try once (-t 1), with a timeout of 10 seconds (-T 10), very silently :D (-q), setting our identity as if we were MicroB browser to retreive the lightest possible page (-U "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20091127 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.5.6 RX-51 N900"), sending the "http://m.flickr.com/explore/interesting/" page source to standard out (-O -) ready to be piped to next command

Code:

        | awk 

                -v i=$x

awk will take care of parsing our page, variable "i", in our awk script, will hold the random number we generated a bit earlier

Code:

Beginning part of awk script will set the field separator to ' " ' character and initialize our counter "n"

Code:

                        /^\t\t<a href=.+>/ { 

                                u[n]=$2;

                        }

We will then iterate through all pictures and retrieve the details page URL which we store in array u[]

Code:

                        /<img src=.+class="pc_img">/ {

                                gsub(/_s\.jpg/,"_m.jpg",$4);

                                s[n]=$4;

                                n++;

                        }

We will then iterate through images, adjust URL for a more suitable image size (medium), store image URL in array s[] and increment our counter for next URL/image tuple

Code:

                        END {

                                r=system("wget -t 1 -T 5 -q -O /tmp/qbwflickr0.jpg \""s[i]"\"");

                                print "http://m.flickr.com"u[i];

                                exit r;

                        }';

After having parsed all URLs/images tuples in our html source, we will then spawn the last image fetch with URL from random position in array s[] and save it to /tmp/qbwflickr0.jpg file which we will display if wget succeeds and return 0 exit status.
We then construct and print the URL of the image details page in array u[] and print it to our widget (Remember that it will not be shown on the widget because Results text is set as hidden)
This URL will be fetched, if necessary, next time sector 9 is clicked to open image details page URL.

Code:

fi

And we are done now!!!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Hi, I am new and I am using beacon for switching between my Overclock profiles. I have snippets for loading profiles and a snippet to show the minimum and maximum frequency. I would like to update the command of my loading profile snippet that when it is clicked, It will also click or update my snippet that shows min/max freq. Can anyone please help me on this?

I have an idea already but do not have enough knowledge on how to do it on code.

Overclock Snippet Command:
sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-config load MyConf

I would like to change it to something like

sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-config load MyConf

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"<MY BEACON OVERCLOCK SNIPPET ID NAME???>"

I do not know if this idea of mine is right but the code I am trying to add is the code I found to launch desktop applications. Please help. Thanks

No!No!No!Yes!

Open the command of your loading profile snippet and append this statement to your command

<your command> ; run-standalone.sh dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=oh.no.more.qbw /oh/no/more/qbw<idX> oh.no.more.qbw.update_content

Replace <idX> with QBW Instance ID you got in step 1

Hi all,

I have setup queen beecon to activate my general profile when it is clicked.

I want to know how to set it to trigger at a specified time so that it switches profile at certain time.

Thanks all in advance..

What you can do is setup QBW to run periodically (say 15/30 mins for your specific scenario, but depends on your need for precision) and check in your script if right time has come to perform action.

No!No!No!Yes!

Try and study a DBUS rule to feed QBW's DBUS Event Monitor with.

That will then be the trigger for your command execution

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Is there a way to shut down the device using dbus or something else since "shutdown -P now" (as root) command doesn't work? I'd like to have a shutdown QB widget on my desktop.

No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Hello, I have a little question:
What do I need to type in command, if I want the xterm to do something.
For example Overclocking:

Code:

sudo gainroot

echo 1000000 > /sys/ etc...

Or renaming a file:

Code:

cd .mupen64plus/

mv blight_input.conf blight_input.conf3

mv blight_input.conf2 blight_input.conf

Is it the same "osoo-xterm -e" thing, and does it wotk with more than 1 line (like sudo gainroot or cd first)?

Thanks

No!No!No!Yes!

From QBW you can ran them without spawning an osso-xterm

Just put the sequence of commands like this:

Code:

command1 parm; command2 parm; command3 parm ...

For gaining root access please search this forum with keywords:

Code:

sudo gainroot rootsh

to find the best combination to use

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

OK ... Queen BeeCon Widget release 0.1.9.8 is now in extras-devel
Partial Change Log since 0.1.4

Code:

queen-beecon (0.1.9.8)



  * New: Implemented per-instance progress animation with customizable number of frames, timer, position and possibility to have it shown or hidden (Now every instance can have its own progress animation) + Settings for Hide/Show, frames #, timer, position and basename. 

  * Changed: Extended error message text to all DBUS methods

  * Changed: Now when command or script do not return any output no more "No Output" text gets printed inside the widget

  * Bugfixing: Added error message if non existing parameter is supplied to all DBUS methods "set_param_*" 

  * Bugfixing: Under certain conditions HotSpot Index was not properly reset in case update policies prevented execution of script from happening. Fixed.



queen-beecon (0.1.9.7)

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)



  * New: REVOLUTION!!! :) Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget. Clicked Hot Spot Index Position can then be passed to the executed script via Parameter Variables Substitution $QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS (0=Not Pressed or other update policy,1=Top Left,2=Top Center,3=Top Right,4=Center Left,5=Center,6=Center Right,7=Bottom Left,8=Bottom Center,9=Bottom Right)

  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_HTTP_PROXY, $QBW_HTTPS_PROXY, $QBW_FTP_PROXY, $QBW_SOCKS_PROXY, $QBW_RTSP_PROXY (In the format <host:port>)

    * New: Implementation of following DBUS signals: sig_content_updated

    * Changed: Enhanced DBUS implementation for Widget2Widget & System2Widget Inter Process Communication

    * Changed: Changed default values for some Update Policies in new QBW instances (updOnStartup now defaults to FALSE; updOnDesktop now defaults to FALSE) to prevent bugged Beecons from freezing hildon-home even after restart

    * Respect: To querty12@talk.maemo.org Many, many, many, many, many thanks for supporting QBW IPC implementation

    * Bugfixing: In Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box several bugfixes for Import/Export commands and instances.

See complete Change Log in the WIKI

Usual WARNINGS apply to extras-devel material

A major new feature in this release:
Implemented per-instance progress animation with customizable number of frames, timer, position and possibility to have it shown or hidden (Now every instance can have its own progress animation) + Settings for Hide/Show, frames #, timer, position and basename.
Several fixes here and there ... hope I haven't broken anything!!!
WARNING, this is one of the latest intermediate release to extras-devel!

Feel free to experiment with all extended features implemented since 0.1.4 and please report bugs and experiences or feature requests here.

QBW shouldn't crash any more if upgraded from >=0.1.9.6 to 0.1.9.8!!! Please, report any problem or crash during installation/upgrade if they still persist
Have fun

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Hello, I really love this application, its very usefull.

I have a little request:
In the settings, to change the Icon size, the slider is really annoying. It takes hours to get the right size, and for example its impossible to set Width to 200 (only 199 and 201 is possible). Also the slider gets in the way, if you want to scroll down.

Wouldn't it be easier to replace the sliders with a field, where you can type the width and the hight in?

It's just a suggestion, if you think it's good as it is now, Its ok for me too.

No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

@No!No!No!Yes!
I have setup widgets on my desktop to update at specific intervals of time.The problem is, that I noticed they are updating even when the phone is locked!
I do not want widgets to be updating their content while the device is locked & its obvious I am not looking at them;)
This ought to be having some impact on battery life right?
This is probably exhibited by all types of widgets so it may be a requirement (or a feature?) of hildon so i will not claim this to be a bug, but can you please consider this as a feature request and provide an option to toggle content updating when device is locked.

If this is not possible can somebody please give me the code for checking if device is locked.I will put this at the start of my script and have it exit accordingly.

No!No!No!Yes!

Choice to have QBW update even if phone is locked was deliberate as QBW is also a monitoring tool and a background program frontend which can maintain/hold some persistency with collected info over time and which may require update even if not in sight.
However you are right about the fact that an option should be present here ... and choice to disable update if out of sight left to the user.
I'll give it a thought. :)

Actually I have setup the dbus script to underclock device when locked (no need for a fast cpu if its just gonna be sitting idle ;)) and I also have a widget that monitors temp at intervals and sets max overclock speed (don't want it to get too hot).
As you can imagine, after i lock the device it underclocks as intended but again overclocks due to the widget:D
And from what you posted, if i understood right, are you also going to provide option to disable update when that desktop is not in view (some other desktop/homescreen is)?.That would be very helpful thank you:)

No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Hi,

I have a quick question, I am wanting to make a small change to one of jakimans scripts, however I get a bad checksum when I try to import from buffer to Beecon. Can I calculate a new checksum so i can use the script and if so how?

Thanks in advance

No!No!No!Yes!

Sorry ... Instance Data in Import buffer is not pure text but "meta-text". At times it contains in fact some escape characters which do not belong to pure configuration data.

Best procedure for changing a QBW is importing the widget and using the "A" area in Advanced Settings & Tools Dialog (click on image to see the wiki)

Hi guys, new here...

Thanks for your effort on providing us such a great app!

Actually with dbus monitoring i managed to bring backlight to max when connected to power supply, and dim it back when disconected. It was something i was looking for since day one with my n900, as the ability to controll back light level from desktop.

you are my man XD

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

I have updated QBW but there are no scaling buttons for the size. When I try to edit the widget a message like this pops out:

Warning!!!
QBW Instance [gueen-beecon.desktop-1]
is not currently active in th system!

Purge configuration file from obsolete settings?

I've uninstalled the QBW and installed it again but this didn't solve the problem. What to do?

No!No!No!Yes!

It means that your configuration file ~/.queen_beecon still holds configuration data from a previous QBW Instance ID number 1 which is not active any more in the system.

This is useful in case you want to restore QBW instances after a crash or after a system backup/restore.

If you answer Yes, this obsolete configuration data will be removed from your configuration file ... if you answer No, it will still be kept inside configuration file and next time you'll open settings same question will come up.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

OK ... Queen BeeCon Widget release 0.1.9.9 is now in extras-devel
Partial Change Log since 0.1.4

Code:

queen-beecon (0.1.9.9)



  * New: Added "On Sight" Update Policy (If flagged, content is not updated if widget is out of sight (on other desktop) or if display is locked or in stand-by)   

  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which holds "On Sight" or "Out Of Sight" status: $QBW_ON_SIGHT (true=QBW Instance is "ON SIGHT", that is widget is on current desktop and display is not locked or on stand by. false=QBW Instance is not on current desktop and visible or display is off or on stand by)

  * New: DBUS method "is_on_sight" which returns true (QBW Instance is "ON SIGHT", that is, widget is on current desktop and display is not locked or on stand by) or false (QBW Instance is not on current desktop and visible or display is off or on stand by)

  * Changed: Optimized usability of settings for Widget Width and Height

  * Changed: Optimized progress animation logic for visibility when instance not On Sight

  * Bugfixing: - 



queen-beecon (0.1.9.8)



  * New: Implemented per-instance progress animation with customizable number of frames, timer, position and possibility to have it shown or hidden (Now every instance can have its own progress animation) + Settings for Hide/Show, frames #, timer, position and basename. 

  * Changed: Extended error message text to all DBUS methods

  * Changed: Now when command or script do not return any output no more "No Output" text gets printed inside the widget

  * Bugfixing: Added error message if non existing parameter is supplied to all DBUS methods "set_param_*" 

  * Bugfixing: Under certain conditions HotSpot Index was not properly reset in case update policies prevented execution of script from happening. Fixed.



queen-beecon (0.1.9.7)



  * New: -

  * Changed: Line width for widget contours FX when widget pressed set to 1px    

  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy issues for DBUS Monitor. Fixed

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)



  * New: REVOLUTION!!! :) Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget. Clicked Hot Spot Index Position can then be passed to the executed script via Parameter Variables Substitution $QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS (0=Not Pressed or other update policy,1=Top Left,2=Top Center,3=Top Right,4=Center Left,5=Center,6=Center Right,7=Bottom Left,8=Bottom Center,9=Bottom Right)

  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_HTTP_PROXY, $QBW_HTTPS_PROXY, $QBW_FTP_PROXY, $QBW_SOCKS_PROXY, $QBW_RTSP_PROXY (In the format <host:port>)

Useful, for example, for remembering values like counters across subsequent command executions. 

  * Changed: Logic to purge configuration settings of non-existent QBW instances from configuration file. (Check/Purge performed at every entrance in Settings dialog)    

  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy problem with Settings dialog box. At times, in case of laggy interface, 2 or more instances of dialog were opening. Fixed. 

  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of DBUS resources. Fixed. 

  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of callback functions for async command execution and timers. Fixed. 

  * Bugfixing: Incorrect logic for updating when widget desktop was active/on. It was updating also when active widget's desktop was swept off. Now updates content only if "Update on Desktop" is TRUE and Widget's Desktop is being swept on. Fixed. 



queen-beecon (0.1.9.5)



  * New: Added supplementary progress images/icons (cycle is "queen-beecon-progress[0-3].png") searching logic in directory storage in this order 1) "~/Mydocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir" 2) "~/.queen_beecon_dir"

  * Bugfixing: New asynchronous execution logic was not releasing file handles. Fixed



queen-beecon (0.1.9.4)



  * New: Ability to execute scripts by intercepting specific DBUS broadcasted signals/methods/errors issued by the system or other applications + Relevant configuration parameters (Ex.keyboard lock, slide open/close, ecc.)   

  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts triggered by intercepted DBUS broadcasted signals/methods ($QBW_EXEC_REASON=QBW_DBUS_MONITOR, $QBW_DBUS_VERBOSE_OUTPUT=Verbose Output see wiki)

  * Changed: Changed icons for displaying command execution in progress (shown when script in progress and hidden on execution completion)

  * Changed: Package installation now performs an automatic restart of hildon-home process

  * Changed: Synchronization in asynchronous script execution logic for Exit Status and Output   

  * Bugfixing: Memory reallocation bugs fixed in new async command execution logic  



queen-beecon (0.1.9.3)

  * New: New extended color dialog for background and foreground colors (Old color selection deprecated; backward compatibility for instances exported from previous releases is guaranteed and settings upgraded as necessary)

  * Changed: Restyle in settings configuration for Beecon Command Exit Statuses area & Command Title/Results Settings area + changed color settings appearance  

  * Changed: Removed Help hints from settings dialog box (refer to the WIKI)!  

  * Changed: Changed transpacency settings both for beecons and for snippets... now both are less transparent

  * Bugfixing: Memory deallocation bug for >=3 Exit Status image file beecon_idxge2_ImgFilename; fixed 



queen-beecon (0.1.9)

    * Bugfixing: Some fixing and cleanup in package install/uninstall 



queen-beecon (0.1.8-testonly-PR1.2)



    * WARNING This release is for testing purposes only as PR1.2 upgrade brought some instabilities which need forensics!!!

    * New: Implementation of DBUS methods: reset_rearm_timer

    * New: QBW is now integrated into the N900 system backup/restore features according to standard specifications as better described in SDK "Using Backup Application" http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Generic_Platform_Components/Using_Backup_Application#Custom_back-up_locations

See complete Change Log in the WIKI

Usual WARNINGS apply to extras-devel material

Almost time to go to Extras-Testing

Feel free to experiment with all extended features implemented since 0.1.4 and please report bugs and experiences or feature requests here.

QBW shouldn't crash any more if upgraded from >=0.1.9.6 to 0.1.9.9!!! Please, report any problem or crash during installation/upgrade if they still persist
Have fun

here they goes.
pwr_on_bklght_max.txt will max up the backlight to lvl 255 (range 0 - 255) when dc supply or usb supply is connected
pwr_off_bklght_dim.txt will dim the backlight down to lvl 51 (range 0 - 255) when dc supply or usb supply is disconnected

Both snippets are invisible and update only with this two signals

Edit: i've uploaded also the 5 buffers for controlling the backlight from desktop, in the attached .zip

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Probable bug in ver. 0.1.9.9 if someone else can test and reproduce also.
QBW widget won't monitor DBUS if @Sight is checked.
IMO @Sight should only disable updating during locked or offscreen but still keep the widget ready to intercept any dbus commands that are matched by pattern.Having the dbus monitoring off as well is equivalent to having the widget "disabled".
Correct me if I am wrong.

No!No!No!Yes!

There are plenty of ways to programmatically handle DBUS and other specific conditions ... just a matter of basic shell script programming and use of Parameter Substitution at Command Runtime

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

So is the dbus still monitored or not when this option is enabled? What I am trying to do is set @sight to false during dbus action using parameter substitution like you showed, but what is happening is if @sight is checked the command to disable @sight never gets run presumably because the widget is not active maybe.Any workaround to get this done please.
Thanks

Edit : Sorry I am probably not being clear why I need it to continue monitoring dbus, I can send you my code.
ps this is the last piece of puzzle to solving the problem I told you about;)
