Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

looks like you missed the f in the command:
/home/user # apt-get - install

Should have been
apt-get -f install

Really shouldnt be a problem at all though - try what i said in my last post, almost certain that should fix it :)

ot having any luck with the second thing. says no such file but maybe not doing it right. do I put in sudo gainroot every time first - and is that a 1 numeral or an I letter? Thanks for the help.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

probably best to just try this lot :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

And no change - still won't load :(

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

can you just confirm which version you are trying to download? (I may have missed this question by accident)

Healthcheck in Extras = 1.0.0-0
In extras-testing 1.2.0-3
In devel 1.2.1-3

i've just thought of one more thing!

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Lol - sorry to be a pain - just noticed another typo !

apt-get remove healthcheck ?? apt-get autoremove

Should have been
apt-get remove healthcheck && apt-get autoremove

(Missing the &&'s)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Not sure, but I think the one I had that went wrong was 1.2.1-3. It's doing its stuff now with that last command, so I need to wait.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

cool thats good! :)

1.2.1-3 - means i'm helping you to fix the version i thought i was :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

YES! SUCCESS! :):)
It now opens. Perfect. Thanks for your help and your patience.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Yay - so sorry it took so long, was hoping the other bits would lead to a simpler fix :) - but great to hear it is now working :)

Once again, thank you very much for testing :) - if there is anything you would like to see, or see changed or added just let me know :)

(I'm learning - so not all fixes are next day fixes! hehehe)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

You need (>> 4.7.3)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

hehe! noticed the mistake before i updated! :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Apologies for providing a half-assed FMTxFrequency function. I should've known better as I wrote a clone of the status bar applet...

Oh, it returns a str so no need for manual casts :)

P.S. You can pass False (introspection=False) as the third argument of your get_object calls to stop it from introspecting the given interface and producing those error messages

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Haha! Spent a while last night trying to get it to return correctly! never thought to divide by 1000.0 instead of 1000!
Thank you very much!

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

is led test supposed to show all colors? I only get red twice. or is red what you get when you combine them all?

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Hi Brank, there is a dropdown list to the right of the LED test button. this will allow you to choose a few tests.
i am working on testing all colours, but the with current patterns, some only work when the device is sleeping etc.
so therefore the drop down list only allows a few. Will work on adding more soon.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Brank, also realised you might need to let me know which version you are using - there are 3 versions currently available - one in extras, testing and devel.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Just wanted to get some opinions. Did a quick mockup of a possible new design.

The idea is as follows:

• Main Menu
• Each information screen displays as before but in a stackable window, with a lister, but less per page, so easier to find information
• Each test loads up in it's own stackable window.

First draft of menu below:

(Ignore the title - just a label until i do something fancy)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Just a quick update. V1.2.0-3 is now promoted to extras. screenshots will follow shortly.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

NICE:D:D:D:D:D This is amazing.
Are you no longer sticking with the green theme?

I was wondering if it is possible to make the signal strength measurement on the comms tab to be dynamic so that it varies with signal level changes.

Would it be possible to have a widget version
Thanks

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

I'm not purposely moving away from the green theme, was just doing a mock-up for opinions :)
Going to start working on something this week, still not wholly decided!

Hmmmmm, i have to admit i am trying to complete threading etc, to allow the values to auto update, but for now i might need to stick with a 'Click to update' if that is ok?

Hmmmm widget-wise, it is probably worth using queenbee/DSE (Not sure those two can do everything though?)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

it is okay for now but would love to see the signal changes as you move around.
Installed Quenbee but it is not that quite easy to use.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

good point. i spose my plans to improve are as follows:
Improve ui
add multi threading or similar function to allow updating
add further tests
add translations

The UI part will be developed over the next two weeks, and will be pretty much a full re-code as well.
But if anyone has useful tips for threading in pyqt, please let me know!

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Well, of course we have!

The easiest way is using QThreadPool with a custom QRunnable implementation.

Your QRunnable's run() method would check the necessary values and refresh the UI.

The main UI window should have a QTimer and on a predefined interval (on the QTimer's timeout signal), it would create a new instance of your own QRunnable and make the thread pool execute it.

Note that the thread pool has a static "global instance", so you don't have to create an instance of it, just access the global instance and make that do things for you.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Ahaaaaaaa - thats actually the first explanation that i have understood! :) hehehe

I did see THP did something here, that looked similar to threading / updating - but may not be suitable.

Will see if i can get some basic versions running, assuming it all works, i can't see it being too difficult to do it for all updatable values :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Thanks! :)

Well, I don't know a thing about Python, so I'm not sure.

You just have to do a single QRunnable implementation for yourself that updates all the values.
No need to do it separately for all the updatable values.

(As this is not a quad core monster processor, there is no point in launching that many threads at once. The usual good practice is to keep one thread for the UI, and do all the other stuff that would otherwise slow it down in separate threads.)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

The Qrunnable idea is interesting, as now all of my values (Ate least in system) are retrieved via functions
ie
So in theory i should be able to just put those calls into that qrunnable idea/format....

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

The only thing you should take care of is the communication between QRunnable and the UI.

I would do it the following way:
- Create a method in the UI that calls those functions you're talking about
- Then, create a class that derives from QRunnable (Let's call it Updater) and has a reference to the UI class, and in its run() method calls the method that you created above
- Create a QTimer in the UI class and in its timeout(), create a new instance of the Updater class you created above, and make the global instance of QThreadPool execute it.

It couldn't be more straightforward. :)
I would gladly post code examples, but I don't know a thing about Python :( , and I'm not sure whether my C++ example would be of any use to you. :p

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Done!

Ok, sounds easy!

:)

Any examples will help - i'm getting used to translating examples from GTK and c++! :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

In case of Qt and Python vs C++, the code is translatable almost line by line, especially if the C++ original uses Qt constructs like foreach() for looping. There are a few caveats regarding variable scope and garbage collection, but in general it should not be an issue. Python to C++ is a bit more nasty (as C++ simply lacks a lot of the built-in goodies Python has, even with Qt - f.e. list comprehension).

What is wrong?

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Oooooooooooooooo That's interesting!

Can you confirm what version of healthcheck please? :)
It seems to be struggling whilst looking at this command
If you fancy trying that in terminal, it will be interesting to see how your version string looks.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Okay, I'm sold!
I don't guarantee syntax rightness, though, because I'm typing it rigt in here, not into my IDE. :p

I also only write my idea, I guess the "..."s will make sense.

MainWindow.h
UpdaterRunnable.h
MainWindow.cpp
UpdaterRunnable.cpp
Rougly this is what I was speaking about - I really hope it helps.

I also recommend setting the default caption of all labels to "Updating...", and start updating them asynchonously. It just adds a feeling of responsiveness to the UI. (This is why there is a call to the timeout method in the constructor of my example.)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

thank you very much! don't worry, i can understand you.

it is very odd though. it looks like you do not have maemo installed! never expected no value being returned! anyone else got any suggestions?

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

If you break some dependencies, the first thing apt-get is going to do is uninstalling the "mp-fremantle-*" package.

Eg. install some apps from the debian repos or the SDK repo, and there you go with it.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Very Timely as I am struggling with a performance problem with Maesynth where I think I need to move to a threading solution. Too many sounds playing at the same time :D

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

mike, got a python version working with threading, will copy the code when i get near a pc. bit laggy, as i am calling so many functions! hehe
