the last one i do understand..
but kinda defeats the point doesnt it?
it would be great if you could explain like you would to a 13 year old child.
sorry :P

Code:
root
unzip /home/user/MyDocs/knight-rider.zip /root/
cd /root/opt/scripts/
chmod +x KR
I think

I know pretty much rock all about linux programming, but could it be done using this?

/usr/bin/slide * * org.freedesktop.Hal.Device Condition ButtonPressed cover
And the file /usr/bin/slide will be executed whenever the keyboard is opened or closed.
If we just have it run the kr script instead of the 'slide' file would that work? Would we still have permissions issues needing to be root?

Ok, try:
Code:
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
unzip xf knight-rider.zip  -C /root/
cd /root/opt/scripts/
chmod +x KR
So what we're doing is:

gain root access
change directory to /home/user/MyDocs/
unzip, which is the process,
x extracts, f is the file (could be a drive or whatever)
knight-rider.zip is the file to run the command on
-C changes directory before extracting
/root/ tells unzip where to extract to

change directory to /root/opt/scripts/
make KR excecutable

Re: Flashing Keyboard lights as patterns
 
Ok that might make things easier

so you have opt and usr directories from the zip extracted to your MyDocs directory?

If so:

Code:
root
Code:
cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/opt /root
cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/usr /root
cd /root/opt/scripts/
chmod +x KR

no!i have the KR file extracted and ready, that way you can skip the whole UNZIP command.
all i have is the KR file in MyDocs.
i do not have ANYTHING else.i dont know if i have the opt file in the root directory either.
so what i have to do (from what ive read is) i have to paste the KR file inside /root/opt/scripts (which is a default folder?if not please give me a command for this too :$)
and then be able to execute the command too!
thanks alot for your time man.

Re: Flashing Keyboard lights as patterns
 
Inside the zip file there are 2 directories/folders, 'opt' and 'usr'.

These 2 directories need to be moved to the folder /root.

The KR file will be in the scripts folder within opt

All that command I gave you did was copied the folder '/home/user/MyDocs/opt' and '/home/user/MyDocs/usr' (which you said you had extracted to MyDocs ) to /root

The next command changed directory to /root/opt/scripts

The next command makes KR executable

Nowhere in there was an unzip/extract command

Re: Flashing Keyboard lights as patterns
 
for the application menu icon you'll have to make a new entry for it.
have a search for 'changing icons', i found a set of instructions the other day, I'll see if I can find them for you.

As f2thak is saying; you should not do anything you don't know what is.

Anyways, that command only makes it executable. You need to run it as well, usind sh.

sh KR

Re: Flashing Keyboard lights as patterns

Re: Flashing Keyboard lights as patterns
 
alright guys, there is an app for the n900 where you play a sound once the keyboard is open.
how about you just link this to the app?

louispires 2010-08-15 17:41
Re: Flashing Keyboard lights as patterns
 
Okay i got the shortcut in my menu but when i click on it. The x-terminal opens and closes straight after that so what should i do so that the shortcut in the menu runs the script??

Is this project dead? I really would have liked it, when you wrote an SMS and when u pressed a key it would dim down and then brighten up again. If this couldn't happen, then at least when the keyboard opened it would flash or something :S

I don't think so, but MohammadAG is involved in a lot of stuff so I don't think he's allocating much time to this - after all such an app would have no practical use, it's just a visual effect...

Actually, I was working on it yesterday, I guess I can release it as 0.1 soon.

Sent to devel, it's not the pattern itself though, if you that I guess I can add it, a button maybe?
I should also really get back to the media player idea.
