Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

I assume by "buttons locked" you mean that it's disabled and not that you're in the software tklock mode. You are correct that it shouldn't be possible as dsme is responsible for re-enabling the keys/screen when the display turns on. The only thing I can think of is this previous bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2311

Regarding the animation, it animates fine for me. The one known issue is that it doesn't detect battery state so doesn't tell you when it's fully charged. I just tested it and although I couldn't get the power menu to pop up, there is an issue of bringing it back on from the actdead state. That's something that should be fixed.

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

Actually it's not fixed. It determines whether it's online by making a connection_status dbus call to wlancond. From what I can tell, this only returns whether there's a connection or not. So being in normal mode and not connected to an AP is indistinguishable from being in the offline mode. I don't believe there's a direct way of determining whether one is in offline mode (from dbus or gconf). Thanks for pointing out this problem.

Edit: Ok really fixed in latest update (v. 0.8-2). Now powerlaunch itself keeps track of the offline/normal state. It should be consistent now. The only difference is that when powerlaunch is initialized/reloaded, it forces it into normal mode regardless of the previous mode so that it knows what state it's in.

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

The screen lock trouble happens when the screen and keys are locked, then some alert message comes up and turns the screen on (but still locked) to display; at least that's what I recall.

That charging bit is rectifiable by changing the config; but as the power-button hold to wake out of charging mode didn't always seem to work (and as I rarely have it shut off or play-dead charging), I haven't messed with it.

Thanks qwerty12. This is what I get when I do that:

/home/user # dpkg --purge --force-all powerlaunch
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

What is /etc/rc2.d/S21powered? Is it a symlink or not? The two error messages are contradictory. I'm not sure how it can be "not a symlink" and a "dangling symlink" at the same time. This seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...mba/+bug/48082 and the solution seems to be just "rm /etc/rc2.d/S21powered". I can't find any reason for why something like this happens in the first place.

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

Thanks to everyone who added to this thread! ;)

I used X-Terminal to launch emelFM2 as root (sudo gainroot) and deleted the S21powered file in /etc/rc2.d/, then ran dpkg --purge --force-all powerlaunch.

This reported another symlink error for a different file in /etc/rc2.d/, so I deleted that one and ran dpkg --purge --force-all powerlaunch.

This reported another symlink error for a different file, etc.

After deleting a number of files, I finally have powerlaunch unistalled! :):):):):)

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

Damn. But now I can't shut off my N800 by pressing the power button! :mad:

In desperation, I tried installing the latest powerlaunch 0.8.2 but it also didn't install correctly and is broken. :mad:

Anyone know what OS 2008 system software package is installable in Red Pill Mode that will restore the file in /etc/rc2.d/ that will allow me to shut my N800 off?

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

Hehe, you did the same thing as me.

Purge all off the powerlaunch again and remove all the powerlaunch files and wait a sec :)

(Meanwhile halt as root will power off the unit)

Ok, before I help, do you want powerlaunch or mce (the default power thing :p)

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

Thank you for your offer of assistance qwerty12. After wasting time trying to get it fixed, I grew impatient and flashed my N800. Right now I'm about to start reinstalling everything. There goes my day off.

Re: Powerlaunch 0.7 Broken
 

:(, I know what you mean. I reflashed 1st time this happened to me. And I've just managed to reinstall everything now after reflashing a few days ago.
