- Download the .deb for facebrick
- Note - if you use PR1.1.1 (or are offered to open the .deb files) you don't need to go any further than this.
- sudo gainroot (note: this requires rootsh)
- dpkg -i facebrick_0.2.2_armel.deb

.....I've followed this to the letter but each time I do this, I am getting the following error (in Terminal) " Cannot access archive: No such file or directory".....??

Not sure why this is because I can plainly see the file in the 'Documents' folder after downloading the deb file....??!

Type “ls” in terminal. It will list the files in the directory you are in. If you dont see the .deb file there, type "cd MyDocs", then try again, you might just be in the wrong directory in terminal :)

/home/user

And your deb file is in /home/user/MyDocs

So one way to fix this is to add

cd MyDocs

before the line where you install it with dpkg -i

....wicked - this WAS the problem!! Now working.... cheers dude!!!

Like the updates w00t...

Thoughts; (again)

When ya click on a post, which takes you to the new screen, you have the ability to 'comment', 'like post' and 'go to post'.....
- Could it be possible to display the individual post in that screen as well, so you can see what your about to comment on/like/go to post
- Could we have the 'like post' and the 'go to post' have buttons on that same screen for easy and obvious 1 click...rather than having to select the app title bar, which is usually reserved for settings....maybe half screen each directly above the comments input area?

Hmmmm....having now seen how you have used that second screen to display comments....I am not sure there is the space for my previous requests...at least not without scrolling....

Hey there, just thought I'd let you know that the app is failing for me. Synchronisation does nothing, it seems like it is retreiving, and then when its finally complete the screen is still left empty. Been randomly pressing synch all day to see if it works, but still no luck. I can update my status fine, but as for notifcations/posts from friends, thats a different story. Thanks for your efforts and hard work

Yeah. I was originally going to do this (and an early version of 0.2.2 actually had this) but the UI was waaaaaaay too cramped for it to really work, so I moved it to the menu.

This isn't entirely unprecedented, Modest (for example) has a send/recieve action on the menu.

Can you open xterm, and run 'facebrick', and then try synchronise please?

Mail me the output (viroteck@viroteck.net)

Thanks!

.....I too initially thought that it wasn't working today either. I click on 'Synchronise' and although the spinny icon spins to show it is syncing, once it has finished - no new posts are displayed.

However - it IS actually working - as I discovered that the new posts are actually displayed at the BOTTOM of the screen and not the top! Maybe you could change this around so that the most recent updates are at the top and not at the bottom (which is currently how it is!)

w00t, I sent the xterm output to your mail.

But I forgot to mention that I had another problem:

In the dialog where I had to enter my Facebook credentials the submit button did not work for me. Ok, simply used the return button to submit the credentials...
But in the next page for the extended permissions the allow-button did also not work...
I checked the permissions for the NokiaN900 application on my FB profile. Both "Access my data, when I am not using the application" and "Publish content on my wall" are checked (permission descritions are translated by me, so they might look similar to you). Its not possible to give additional permissions to the application.

Dont know, but maybe its related to the problem that Facebrick shows nothing?
Are there permissions missing?
