Anyway, the program isn't working for me, I'm guessing I configured it wrong, for example, my email address has a . dot in the part before the @ character and I saw someone further up in this thread said it caused problems, so this may be why I'm not getting any emails. I also did not check the auto-reply or fill in a phone number so I won't get any sms either. My real problem though is that when I send myself an sms with my config password, nothing happens except that I get an sms with my config password! No config screen. I don't know why I changed it from the default but I used 'activate_config' as my config password (activate_reports and deactivate_reports as my other passwords) and now I'm wondering if the _ underscore character is a problem like in the email address problem also mentioned in this thread? I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct password but I guess there is a chance I might have messed up and have it wrong... Or maybe I just don't understand properly how it's supposed to work?

Thanks for developing this app rachol, I'll be happy to pay for it when it is at a 'complete' stage!

Thanks for the info

I am getting pictures, but they are totally black

This project depends on gstreamer-tools, which has to be installed in order to receive correct pictures.

Installing applications from .deb files does not resolve dependencies, you have to do it on your own.

When the project finally gets to extras-devel, dependencies will be automatically resolved

WARNING

Please dont use "_" character for setting passwords. It is somehow not accepted, I will try to figure out the reason shortly

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS

For testing purposes i have added to the first post an information how to restore default configuration .

When testing is done, and new fixed version will come to extras_devel it will not be possible to follow same instructions.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS

Hey,

great app !

I didn't get emails when there was a dot in my address. Removed it (thank you gmail for allowing this) and started receiving emails, after stopping and restarting reports.

Could it be possible to get IP and current SIM phone number in each email ?

I am available to translate the UI into french if you'd like.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS

Thanks, for the comment,

I have added this "." problem to known issues in the first post.

Translation? Well yes, I will contact you, when I am ready to add translations.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS

OK, I think I know the problem. It happens from time to time depending on actual hardware it seems and based on luck.

I also know how to fix it, so I will make an update later at night, I would do it right now, but I have to rush to work for a while.

Sorry. I had to miss it while reading all the pages. I don't know how to express the level of admiration for Your work. My wife said that this is scary ;) For me it's something unbelievable. I'm starting to know how powerful Linux is! Great job!
