I updated the instructions in my first post (about half-way down) so they are hopefully easier to understand. However, even after you have followed the steps to configure it, hitting the icon won't visibly do anything since this runs completely in the background with no interface.

awesome work fellas! I do have a bug to report. I was listening to a podacst prior to installing the latest notifier. I have noticed that when I receive a new sms, the sound plays as it should but then starts up the podcast from the begining! I can not stop the sound without actually opening up media player and closing it manually. pretty funny :)

**Edit if I remove the podcast from the now playing list, the sound is all that I hear. Does this mean that media player is still now running in the background even though I hear no other sound(playlist has ended but application does not close)? guess I'm curious as to how it works and why it wanted to play my playlist :)

Yea I was worried this might be a problem. It happened to me while listening to music today. I had been researching a way to play the sound file without spawning a new process, but I hadn't found anything and figured this would tide you guys over :).

I'll take a look at the flipclock code again.

Uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted, still isn't working. Any other ideas? I typed it exactly in the terminal hit enter and got file not found. Am I supposed to type it at the $ sign?
thanks again for the help

And yes it's a dash.

path is /usr/lib/gv-notifier/gv_notifier.py

file not found would be because you're typing it wrong. Otherwise try cd-ing to the directory and typing ls to make sure the files are all there.

you mean /home/user/.gv-notifier ? you are including the period before g? Are you installing with dpkg -i? What's the output afterwards? Run this in terminal and post what it says:

cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/gv-notifier.list

To save in vi (assuming you're in edit mode with the 'I' in the bottom left corner) first hit Esc, then type :wq and hit enter.

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

Is there a posting somewhere with the xterm commands? do I need a command to run the second line? I got the editing done (after I finally got it to load only took a reflash to work) now I just need to run the other command. I tryed just typing in and hitting enter and that didn't do it. what is the run command?

Thanks for all your help, never used xterm before but I am learning.

You need to have python 2.5 runtime installed, which should contain the python 2.5 dbus module. You'll probably need to back up your conf.xml that you just saved, uninstall GV Notifier, install python 2.5 runtime, install GV Notifier, replace conf.xml, then run the last command again.

My LED won't stop flashing now that it saw an unread message, maybe I set something up wrong?

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

Okey all installed finally got it all going right the very last error I got was telling me line 4 column 9. But I managed to check it out in conf.xml and that happened to be the first space in my user name apparently you can't have a number for your first character in your user name. My user name for google is 1stfalconx. When I take out the 1 it configures... of course that does me no good. LOL
Thanks for all your help anyhow :) Has been a good learning experience on my end. And you were right I forget to install my python2.5 runtime after my reflash.

Thanks again,

Laura

You might want to try deleting the Missed Calls url in conf.xml.

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

It doesn't stop flashing until you open Dialcentral with the added icon. addjison maybe you should consider making the LED stop after ten seconds or so. I have mine disabled simply because I dont like closing and reopening Dialcentral over and over, and a sound notification is enough. I cant even see the LED during the daytime anyway.

fatboyxpc

2009-08-15 23:18

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

Thanks Gogol that did the trick! Addisjon I guess I should have specified that I had already removed that :P

I like Gogol's idea about stopping the LED for so long.

Gogol you say you have to open DialCentral(with that icon) repeatedly, what if I keep it open then will it stop after it becomes read?

Edit: so I seriously was like I'm sure that would have been in his first post but I don't remember seeing it, so I go back and check and sure enough. Bah!!!

No, the dbus call to turn it off is contained in the replaced icon.

You can stop the LED from ever flashing by commenting line 163:
meaning, change
self.ledOn()
to
#self.ledON()

or by typing this into a terminal (you could always save it in a script and add it to Personal Menu)

Code:

/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deactivate string:PatternCommunicationChat

NOTE: that's all one line. I know, wow!

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

well dialcentral now has notification built in. thanks addisjon, I'm assuming he used part of your code or you at least motivated him to include it. It might be time to merge the 2 projects together as 1 big happy family. Gogol please post some more of you tinkering with the scripts, I woujldnt mind having a different led color or some other thnings

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

The new version of dialcentral (with notification support) seems to break something in DBUS, causing gv-notifier to not work either. I'm trying to discover why...the same error is thrown on both dialcentral and gv-notifier when they try to access alarmd settings:

Code:

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.nokia.alarmd was not provided by any .service files

Yet even when I booted back into my working copy in flash, there is no such file as /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.alarmd.service. I'm totally lost as of yet. Any ideas anyone?

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

I wanted to thank everyone who worked notification support. It was a big help in merging it into Dialcentral.

I know there are issues right now. Sorry about this. 1.0.4-3 is hopefully better. I guess I also need to do some further investigation with the DBus issue if the new Dialcentral also broke gv_notifier.

If addisjon or someone else is interested in still maintaining gv_notifier I'd be willing to cooperate.

I'm in the same boat http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=165 and haven't made any progress. Let me know what you find. This has broken m/gnotifier as well.

Im goning to stick with gv notifier for now since it can play a sound as well as flash the led.

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

gv_notifier users shouldn't fear the killing of alarmd anymore. The issue has been found and fixed. See the Dialcentral thread for further details.

I'm curious what people think of an idea I posted on the Dialcentral thread that is more pertinent to this thread. Is the main reason to keep using gv_notifier the custom way of handling notifications? What if I made it so you could specify an alternative notification app in settings.ini?

This way you could do led, sound, both, pop up Dialcentral (if not already open), or whatever else people would generally want.

Sound like a good compromise for sharing code/effort?

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

Well, I cant speak for anyone else, but I only use DC these days to make calls...just dont like how the message interface looks...not discounting your hard work, just a personal preference...i have my inbox saved as a bookmark in tear and it loads faster and I like have the standalone command to stop the led from blinking.

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

To be completely honest I agree with munky about the message interface. In the DC thread I already stated something about how I'd like something different, but for how it is now I am definitely okay with it, I can work with it just fine :). However, if you could change the UI for it, it'd sure be nice :D:D :P

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

The thread seems dead but I guess I'll ask anyways. I'm still using this instead of the Dialcentral notifier because it supports sound. As of the past week or 2 I have been getting a lot of false positives with this. Has anyone else noticed this?

Are all of the features from this now in DC?

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*

Dialcentral only officially supports LED notification. For anything else you have to edit your settngs file manually and specify a different notification system. Some examples are included in the DC package.
