Did you miss the part where daperl says:

I think one of us has made a mistake. Are you sure you got the

OS 2009 version 1.2009.42-11

fiasco file? If so, based on your sums, I might be wrong as to what version goes with what update, and the firmware you need might not be available. This could suck. Let me do some more checking. I also have this older (but I think still the latest) VirtualBox SDK image; I'll see what's in there. That might still be available at the garage project.

If all else fails, you still own these files as far as I'm concerned, so maybe a note to qgil asking if these could be made available is an option.

Again, sorry for the cluster f*ck for something so trivial.

I downloaded the following file

don't apologize, I am confident fiddling with my device, if i feared screwing up I wouldn't go that far

I think it must be something more trivial though, because I get the exact same result even when I move the original files back, it's something like the system does not reset its state, maybe I have to clear a cache, something that hildon-im-recache does not do

By the way hildon-im-recache, returns this

Code:

Nokia-N900-42-11:/home/user/MyDocs/backups/vkb pr11# hildon-im-recache
Processing: hildon_im_keyboard_monitor.so
Processing: hildon_keyboard_assistant_scv.so
Processing: hildon_western_fkb.so
Processing: western_common_vim_settings.so
Processing: hildon_keyboard_assistant.so
Number of plugins processed: 4

noticed the number of plugins processed does not match the number of the "processing" lines

I am really grateful for all the help!

edit: In the first sums post some files had remained from pr1.1 creating a mixed situation. (it must have been because of x-term quitting on me unexpectedly during file copying) Now I have doublechecked all the files, copied them rhrough ssh and they have exactly the same sums as yours, except the cache
yours -> 60845
mine -> 23493
but I suspect this might be because you have your own im

That's a bummer. I looked at file dates and I know when I got the device, and I can't believe it was the pre-PR1.1 that clobbered those files. Strange.

Anyway, I moved my hacking files out of the directory, and I too got your same output:

Code:

root@Nokia-N900-42-11:/usr/lib/hildon-input-method
# hildon-im-recache 
Processing: hildon_im_keyboard_monitor.so
Processing: hildon_keyboard_assistant_scv.so
Processing: hildon_western_fkb.so
Processing: western_common_vim_settings.so
Processing: hildon_keyboard_assistant.so
Number of plugins processed: 4

If you haven't already done so, maybe one last time try the following to restore:

Put everything back the way it was before this thread, that includes these library files:

/usr/lib/libhildon-im-vkbrenderer.so.3
/usr/lib/libhildon-im-vkbrenderer.so.3.0.2
/usr/lib/libhildon-im-western-plugin-common.so.3
/usr/lib/libhildon-im-western-plugin-common.so.3.0.8

Then, move hildon-im-plugins.cache to a save directory.

Reboot

You should now have no doubt what shared libraries are being used.

See if there's a new cache file:

/usr/lib/hildon-input-method/hildon-im-plugins.cache

If so, you might be good to go. If not, run hildon-im-recache one more time and reboot. Things should be back to the original state.

Touch your stylus to the blue portion of the text. Magic!

Oh, what he said.

@qwazix:

Did you get your keyboard back?

qwazix | # 30 | 2010-03-02, 09:35 | Report

Still trying, I have run out of ideas. I've checked again and again all the files starting with libhildon-im, even the ones I didn't tamper with. All the sums are as expected. Neither PR1 nor PR11 version works. I tried installing ukeyboard also in case it restored something in place (some guys in another thread who lost their vkb said it came back after installing ukeyboard - it was a different situation, they had NO vkb whatsoever while I have an empty one, but anyway I had to try it - )
I know I can back up and reflash, but it has driven me crazy and I want to figure it out...
As for the hildon-im-plugins.cache it builds itself again when I do a recache with always the same sum (i tried deleting it completely) but still no-go.
