I haven't really investigated this. I think it should be possible with Inception, but is it absolutely necessary? Isn't it enough that the daemon starts automatically during start-up? At least I didn't have any autostart issues after creating a deb with _aegis and digsigsums. I didn't even use Inception during installation and the flashlight, camera shutter and my own script work fine. Which of your program's functions need more rights than are already available in the stock installation?

If/when this will be a deb install with a GUI to configure it, I'll be glad to use it and pay for it! Just sayin' :P

Ask itsnotabigtruck and a few others. He is the head of inception.

build a deb, aegisized.

turns out i need 'GRP :: pulse-access' to work the flash...

anyone wanna test the deb in the OP?

all you should need to do is install the deb {and the dependencies}, and it should work immediately. {if you reboot, it will start back up after a minute}

you can stop it and restart it as root like this:
stop apps/n9-button-monitor
start apps/n9-button-monitor

I've tried the .deb file from the first post but I'm running onto problems when installing it.
1. It wont install with either the app manager nor with xterm "apt-get install".
2. When trying to install the dependency packages it's abborting with an error code 1 (aegis rejecting it).
3. apt-get -f install same problem as 2.
4. It's breaking alot of installed apps when trying to install the n9_monitor.deb, wich can be fixed by reinstalling one of the broken apps.
If you need more info just ask, if you want i can upload screenshots.

I've flashed a custom zImage/kernel to be able to dualboot Nitdroid, could that be the issue?

apt-get is for installing packages that come from repositories, not manually downloaded deb packages. to install this, you should type "dpkg -i n9-button-monitor*.deb". {you can then do "apt-get -f install" to automatically fetch missing dependencies and complete the install, if you like, or you can just install the dependencies first}

HOWEVER, if you cant apt-get install the dependencies, then something is wrong with your system. these packages are available through normal repositories, and should all 'just work'.

this will show you where the packages are coming from:
{they should all be downloads.maemo.nokia.com}
{run as root}

Code:

apt-cache policy xresponse x11-utils python-qmsystem python-qtmobility.multimediakit python-qtmobility.systeminfo python-pyside.qtgui python-pyside.qtcore

if youre still having trouble, paste that output, the aegis-rejecting output from installing the dependencies, and the output of this
{run as root}

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

p.s. i dont know anything about dual booting nitdroid, but i do flash zany kernels all the time, and it shouldnt affect this.

Thanks for your reply wolke, i'll try it again.

My mistake, it's a mis type of command, i did use dpkg -i 'your.deb' file to try to install it through xterm.
