Hopefully someone here can suggest something for this. I'm using S9 motorolla bt headset and UDI "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_1" is registered when connected and this' how I'm getting it to work.

The easiest would be to write "dmesg" in terminal. You could test it with open and close the keyboard. Am not sure if bt will show upp there though. Another way would be to use "lshal |grep <device>". Am not sure what the device name would be. But if you try computer_logicaldev it will show a 0 or 1 if it is connected or not.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Phone Speakers Switcher - turns speakers on/off during call

jaeezzy it works PERFECTLY!!!!

If I could I'd kiss you :D

As a matter of interest what dbus message are you listening for?

I wish you could ;)
Listening for system message was quite too much for me as the same message was emitted number of times with different arguments. So, I picked the easy one - session message, if I get 0 then bt is connected or if -1 then its disconnected :D

Just to give youse an update of the latest release. 0.2-3 is in devel and as always remember it's there to get tested and will soon push it to testing. I've uploaded the changelogs in the #1 post. Thanks

I am having the same problem as the user to whom you just replied. Here is the feedback from the attempt to uninstall:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# apt-get remove psswitcher

And here is the output when i try to reinstall:

Setting up psswitcher (0.2-3) ...

cp: cannot stat '/tmp/psswitcherd': No such file or directory

dpkg: error processing psswitcher (--configure):

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:

 psswitcher

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any thoughts on how to fix it? I also have the problem that is is only half installed at the moment, so when i use it from the Settings menu and hit "save" i get the messages "failed to save the settings". Hence the reason for wanting to reinstall.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Phone Speakers Switcher - turns speakers on/off during call

sudo dpkg --purge psswitcher

and post output.
