In short, both are known issues. For future reference, please check the issue tracker and/or submit a new ticket. Thanks.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

Hi I have this input to test:

1. v0.3 is not starting but this may be more related to my phone that the app itself. I have a number of apps that wont start lately. Maybe my QT was screwed up or something. I have to still determine the culprit.

2. Using v0.2 the # key should be used to differ between abc, ABC and 123

3. Clicking on the textbox brings up the landscape qwerty keyboard.

4. In future and more stable versions one might consider integrating this with the virtual keyboard. You may try and editing a button on the virtual keyboard to trigger this app and launch it.

So far that's what I got. Incidentally does someone know if vertsms, healthcheck, trackercfg have anything in common? These are some of the apps that won't launch.

Keep up the good work.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

1. Vertsms is written using pymaemo, not Qt.
2. Ignoring since this version is obsolete. Also see my links above, I've addressed the "shift" issue already.
3. Again, check the links above, this has also already been addressed, and solved. You'll have to wait until PR1.2
4. Reoccuring pattern...already addressed. The virtual keyboard is closed source so we have to make our own. I'm working on a plugin system that allows just that.

All programs use python. Perhaps you should reinstall pymaemo and see if that fixes your problems. Would be easier to diagnose your issues if there were a traceback (run the programs from the terminal).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

Best thing to do is to try running them from terminal - most of them will then give you a detailed error :D

With healthcheck you can try (As a normal user, not root!)
Let me know the outcome :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

Thanks for your replies. Sorry that I couldn't help test. Hmm..it said could not import gobject (error was: 'No module named gobject')

Hmm looking more into it it seems all I have were python related issues. Now at least I know the culprit.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

From terminal:
if sudo gainroot doesn't work, you'll need to install rootsh from the app manager or what for the next package release of these three programs. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Todo: Add python2.5-gobject to dep list.

1st of, great job and thank you Ossipena for developing this app. It's awesome and a great start for us Maemo users. I hope this development will make it far and achieve great success!!!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

Hmm I tried with apt-get --reinstall install python-gobject..and now I'm receiving a freaking segmentation fault..

Is there a way to remove and reinstall python completely without having to remove the apps depending on it?

**Edit** Tried the wild card apt-get --reinstall install python* and well it seems I have some broken packages too. I give up. I am waiting for PR 1.2, maybe it will be fixed with a flash and I will only flash for a new firmware. Thanks for your help and sorry that I can't test.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

Actually, VertSMS doesn't require python-gobject. Researching to see what package provides gobject module.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 

hmmmm healthcheck does, ( Location / GPS) - but it installs it for you as a dependency......
How very odd :|
