Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

The source of the PSM State script says nothing about this, just to install python with python-dbus. I've done that. seemed to install ok.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

You definitely need the python-qmsystem package installed for the PSM script.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I tried to install with:
apt-get install python-qmsystem
in terminal as rootme. It looked like it got installed.
Tried the scrip and it worked in terminal, so tried in Billboard and also worked.
Then I tried the Bluetooth.py script. In terminal it works fine. But in Billboard it doesn't.
Where can I look for this problem?
Thanks

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I think this Billboard is fantastic especially for the standard options that are provided by the configuration screen.

I do have 3 problems still:
1) I am unable to install the Bluetooth_status_icon.py or the Bluetooth_status_icon.sh scripts. They seem to work in terminal but not in Billboard. Like the PSM State script needed an extra installation (QmSystem to python), maybe the Bluetooth script also needs something?

2) I would like to remove other logo from configuration as shown in http://thp.io/2012/billboard/ with:
gconftool -s -t string /apps/billboard/other_logo ''
but I cannot find the folder /apps/billboard or where Billboard is installed.

3) I would like to increase the size of the text of one line only. I know how to change the colour of a line but not the size.

Thanks

For both of these scripts, the "python-dbus" package should be sufficient:

https://github.com/harmattan/billboa...ooth_status.py
https://github.com/harmattan/billboa...status_icon.py

If it doesn't work, try prefixing it with "python", as in:

Code:

{script:python /home/user/bluetooth_status.py}

You have to execute that line as-is in the Terminal app or via ssh. The folder "/apps/billboard" isn't a folder in the filesystem (well, gconf data is store somewhere, but you shouldn't need to care about that), but rather a configuration key in GConf.

You can also disable showing the other logo in the Billboard configuration app, but obviously that will only hide the other logo while Billboard is enabled/running.

Yes, that's not possible at the moment. Might come in a future release.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Thank you for those suggestions.
1) The python prefix fixed the Bluetooth script.
2) I should have tried to enter gconftool -s -t string /apps/billboard/other_logo '' in terminal, but I was confused by the folder entry, so I didn't. But it worked.
3) It would be great to be able to change the text size of a line. Looking forward to the next version.

This Billboard is so good that I would like to suggest an addition. A signal strength logo or bar would be great. Even better, a status line similar to the status bar at the top of the home screen would be even better.
Just a wish for a future update.
Thank you very much.

That would be fantastic.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I actually thought of another wish (fairly important).

A flight mode indicator.
Thanks

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

First of all, thanks for this great piece of software. I'm having trouble with scripts though...

Here's the script (network.sh):

Code:

#!/bin/sh



mode=$(develsh -c "qdbus --system com.nokia.csd.CSNet /com/nokia/csd/csnet com.nokia.csd.CSNet.RadioAccess.Technology")

if [[ $mode -e GSM ]]

then print "{{white}}2G"

fi

if [[ $mode -e UMTS ]]

then print "{{white}}3G"

fi

And this is what I enter in bb:

Code:

{script:/home/user/MyDocs/network.sh}

but nothing shows up... What am I missing?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Dont put your scripts to MyDocs they wont work.
And you need to chmod script first so it works:

Code:

chmod +x /patch/to/script.sh
