Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I'd like you all to welcome Brik (Kamilla Bremeraunet), the 2010 GSOC student who will be joining me to work on Facebrick under the Maemo umbrella.

For more information on what she'll be doing, take a look at: http://blog.rburchell.com/2010/05/gs...facebrick.html

I'm sure she'll pop her head in here in a moment to say hello.

(Next release planned for this week, just a few minor changes to tide you over - more is coming - really :))

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Hi, my name is Kamilla and I will be working on FaceBrick over the summer :-)

I'm a student at the University of Hull studying for my Masters of Engineering in Software Development with 1 year to go. Like an real geek, I love cats, and also ducklings!

What I will be doing over the summer is implementing a desktop widget (one that is a bit more useful than the existing desktop widget) and messaging support. Any suggestions to this are welcome :-)

I guess that's it... *wave to everyone*

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

are going to be modifying the desktop widget or creating a new one from scratch

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

The existing desktop widget is closed source, so I wouldn't be able to use that one. It would also not integrate with the rest of FaceBrick as the two are separate applications.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I also have vague hopes that we'll be able to keep the widget working through to the MeeGo transition, but we'll see, eh? :)

(The rest of FaceBrick should be portable easily at least. :))

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Welcome ! Cats and ducklings together sometimes can be a "diferent" experience...

Thanks for the help in this and hope you have fun while at it !

w00t found something that might interest you (or maybe not but still !)

I installed ubuntu a couple of days ago on a spare laptop just to check out the 10.04 release (using mostly Gentoo/Slackware/Debian on my other box's but i like to keep up with stuff) and with it came a nice social agregator that does display a good Facebook feed, it's called Gwibber, i didn't check dependencies or any real important stuff but still found it a great app to be ported (or atleast a great source for code inspiration you could probably use in Facebrick) for our social networks needs...

I'd give it a peak or atleast see what they use for fetching info since they can displaye a pretty nice feed showing most of the things people post.

I don't use Facebrick alot usually just go for the full website, i use Facebrick mostly to update my status in a quick way, but improvements are always welcome !

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Look at this:

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Oh ! Nice !

Never really looked it up to see if it was ported or running already like i said I just tried it today, if that version reads the FB feed aswell as the desktop version (I don't see why not) it does pretty much the same as Facebrick (didn't see if it supported those fb quirks "like" and comments but still)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

My FB username has numbers and I am not able to input the numbers using my N900 keyboard. Also tapping on the username/email doesn't open up the virtual keyboard however the password does open up the virtual keyboard.

Strange!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Similarily, when I was at the Facebook Connect page, the @ symbol on the real keyboard would not work, it just created a space, so I couldn't put in my email address.

This was with the current version of facebrick.

I solved it by copying and pasting my email address, so there's no problem now, but if it's happening for other people it might be worth having a look at. Thanks for working on this app!

If there's a way that we can help development in an ad-hoc way, please let us know. (i.e I'd be happy to be one of a group of 10/20 testers that reported to you on a list of things you wanted to know).

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

is there a way to also make a MYSPACE client for the NOKIA N900.... i feel i have a powerful device with no competent apps, idk i might switch to the next iphone, if the maemo qt doesnt bring a new wave of decent apps ....

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

hi w00t when this app will be avaliable ???

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

hi woot hows work on this going with your new help etc

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

Attachment 10123

P/S : i really not familiar with the Linux but i love to learn

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

i can't see my friend status....????

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

problem solved after rebooted the device

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I can't update using the on-screen keyboard. I wrote my update using the on-screen keyboard and then I go back to the Facebrick screen and see that my update is messed up. The spaces have multiplied and there are a lot of m's in the update.

How do I fix this? Is it fixable or should I just use the physical keyboard to avoid hassles?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Using the on-screen keyboard works fine here. Could you look up what version you're on? (Go to Settings -> About the product and get the Version number from there, should be something similar to "3.2010.02-8") Also, what language are you using?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Any update for this application?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE BACKGROUND IS NOT WHITE!!!!!!! since im colorblind is better for me a black background, there is a lot 2 work on since facebook is really huge, like inbox, friends, events, etc but so far so good, :D

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

now that pr1.2 is out any ideas on an update for this app?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I'll push a small update soon. I've been pretty busy with other things (and getting brik up to speed), so there hasn't been much change so far.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

0.4 released, just quickly shoving the changelog here because i'm too lazy to write a proper post today:


+ * Cap input of status updates to the maximum size of a Facebook update
+ (@roamer145)
+ * Some minor UI changes, including slightly more visually appealing colours.
+ * Fix newlines in text appearing as a box character instead of ..a newline.
+ * Make dates take up less text to allow for more room for names.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

It's not works for me on PR1.2!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

doesn't start up after installation. Anyway we can debug for you?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I'll have a look shortly.

(that'll teach me to release and run off to bed..)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I updated just fine but some posts I cannot see comments, even onces I have made comments on from facebrick, anyone experiences this?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

i did a fresh install. could that be a problem?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

it's works well for me!

bad visual in portrait mode (maybe i'm wrong, but i think it looked good in portrait before this update).

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

It says there are missing dependencies here

IDK if that is related to my isue

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

it's so cool

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I installed for the first time today, and it doesnt work for me. Am on PR1.2 and have all repos enabled

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

One possible problem has been resolved through the libqfacebook 0.1.1-4 update. I didn't properly remove the requirement for obsolete Qt.

Will wait until this hits extras-devel and see how it goes.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

It seems to work for people who had to updated. The issues comes from fresh installation from what I understand

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Sigh.

By the looks of it, the nonfree section I'm forced to use due to a lack of packaging knowledge doesn't have the updated Qt packages for PR1.2

Try installing all the mentioned packages by hand, and see how it goes, maybe..

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I've got two freshly flashed phones here, so I'll install once -4 hits the repos. I'm waiting until then so I don't have to do additional reflashes :)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Are the packages in devel or are they on your website?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

They'll be in -devel once the builder imports them.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I sniffed aroung a bit and it seems like the missing packages are in "Maemo 5 device SSU repository (PR1.2)"

IDK what that means

http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-network/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-webkit/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-xmlpatterns/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-gui/

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Just installed facebrick 0.4 never had it installed before, using pr 1.2 and it wont start, it just closes itself at launch.
