Try this...

Code:

wget -U "" -t 1 -T 5 -q -O - "http://m.espn.go.com/soccer/scoreboard?leagueTag=fifa.world&date=`TZ=EST-24 date +%Y%m%d`&lang=EN"

    * Bugfixing: Some fixing and cleanup in package install/uninstall 



queen-beecon (0.1.8-testonly-PR1.2)

    * Changed: Enhanced DBUS implementation for Widget2Widget & System2Widget Inter Process Communication

See complete Change Log in the WIKI

Usual WARNINGS apply to extras-devel material

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
There is still a weird bug/behaviour with this release surely localized in the new implementation of extended color/font dialog boxes.
You can experience a QBW (Hildon-Desktop) crash when accessing the extended Fonts and Colors widgets in the "Settings" dialog box.
This seems to happen just once after you install the package.
If this happens and you lose some of your on-screen widgets, just add back again the old missing widgets and QBW and all will be back on-shape.
I'm in the process of dealing with this problem.
Use this release just to test the added functionalities and report back any unexpected issues.
I SUGGEST YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE AFTER INSTALLATION.
DOING THIS IT WON'T POSSIBLY CRASH!

PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE NEW ASYNCHRONOUS EXECUTION IMPLEMENTATION AND FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST CHANGES

Feel free to experiment with all extended features implemented since 0.1.4 and please report bugs and experiences or feature requests here.

Have fun

Have you got rootsh 1.8 from Extras-Devel instead of version 1.5 from Extras? I think that may be causing trouble.

Try using sudo command in place of rootsh, eg:.Where you had

Code:

rootsh /usr/sbin/kernel-config load lv

Try:

Code:

sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-config load lv

thanks buddy i did an upgrade by terminal and the version of rootsh went on 1,8 but i didn't notice it :-)

i went back to the 1.5 and it's working again!!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

@nononoyes!

your Qbw update is funny, when it was installed on my device, all my widgets started blinking and then removed ahahahaha!

i put all my widgets back (good thing your Qbw has memory :D) and everything is fine.

As warned in the new release announce I suggest you reboot (or issue a killall hildon-home) your phone after upgrade.
Sorry for any inconvenience...

There's two alternatives to the font dialog, FWIW:

osso-xterm has its own font chooser dialog, and the code is available for that
The Subtitles applet also has its own font chooser. Nothing special about this one as it's just a HildonPickerDialog with three rows: Font, Style and Size. It doesn't show a preview of the font, however.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Is it possible to make widget for showing number of unreaded Google reader items?
