Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Same problem here - just shuts down immediately after the Xterm window opens. :( Any ideas how to get this working again?

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1

I really hope we can get this working. its was great app. lets not let this one die

thanks to anyone who can help.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

n900 version of this code is based on 0.2.7 - which has this problem on other platforms too.
I've just compiled 0.2.10 which solves this... all that needs to happen here is for someone to compile 0.2.10 again for the n900 - I think...

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/live-f1/+bug/742277

I haven't the knowledge to package up the fix I'm afraid - hopefully the package owner will do this soon?

I'll have go though...

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Just a friendly call out to any one who can help

Thanks.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

You could try
if that doesnt show where you copied the deb file then you didnt save the file as "live-f1_0.2.10-1maemo1_arme1.deb"
So replace "live-f1_0.2.10-1maemo1_arme1.deb" with what ever you did save the file as.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Thanks Yorkey.

That was just what I needed I knew the file was there but this made me realize I had been typing one letter wrong.

I feel so stupid and dyslexic.

Thanks heaps for pointing me in the right direction.

I now have it working.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Hi All, I've tried to install both from the deb and the old install I found on the code pages but neither will result in anything that's close to working I also can no longer find the non working version on the repository's could some one post exactly what code I need and how to install?
Thanks in advance

Paul

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

hi Paul

I'm not sure if this will help. but i got an email yesterday from from the gentleman that managers the app and told me the app found in extra-devils has now been updated and is working for the 2011 F1 season.

I looked for it myself but it was not there i assume that is because I already have a version of it installed (the one one here)

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Yes, I got the update today and it once again works. Thanks.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

I can confirm that the updated live-f1 in extras is working.

This in my opinion works better than the solution offered by colin.stephane as it does not require font size alterations. No offence intended Colin, but my eyes were straining to watch the tiny font :P

Cheers,
Fred

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

any chance of this working on a N9?

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

i don't see why not, the program works via the xterminal

open source ftw! https://launchpad.net/live-f1

hoping it will work for the 2012 season. Australia event will happen in 2 weeks time. Last year it wasn't working for the first couple of races. Maybe because f1.com decided to change some settings.. *shrugs*

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Hello!

I am an F1 fan and would love to see this working on N9. But I am new to linux and would appreciate some help on how to get started. For example, I was confused on how to install the application from the link given above.

Also, is it possible to work on such programs (that run in the terminal) for MeeGo using Qt SDK running on a Windows PC?

Thanks!

[EDIT]
You should extract the data parsing codes first.
[/EDIT]

You probably need to first wrap the C code under Qt...
In principle this should not be too hard and definitely worth a try if you want to learn Qt. I see the app use socket for communication... that is totally out of my scope. I was hoping to see some http communication for simpler QML implementation.

If you get it working, then you should make a QML interface.
