Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Prey runs perfectly, but can't install fcron.

Warehouse and pkcon install / install-local gives error Installation aborted by user, even I didn't abort it manually. Any suggestions?

OK, now this is a bit offtopic since it concerns not prey but fcron.
I am going to ask anyway since it is important in an indirect way though... :D

So, how can I make cron (fcron in this case) keep real time on Jolla?
I have installed fcron-3.0.6-3 but I noted that it behaves in not so nice way; if my Jolla is sleeping (like, display off) and a crontab event should trigger it just doesn't wake up. The event is missed completely, not even deferred to when the device wakes up I believe.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
@juice Yes, that observation is true. fcron is an attempt to see if it would work better than systemd timers (which also have this issue).
Also, (f)cron would enable prey to change the run schedule.
But.... the device (OS) seems to not adhere to running tasks needs.
Even WLAN seems to still suffer from this sleep issue.
Sadly, I have still to figure out how to fix this.

There has to be a neat way to do this, or else the alarm clock would not work either.

I remember there was some talk of this before, was it so that there are some special libs you need to link your code against to make it not to go to sleep when the device goes to low power mode?

https://github.com/nemomobile/libiphb allows you periodically wake up from suspended state.
Unfortunately its not that well documented, so you need to look into tests dir and read the sources. And its written in C.

Easier C++ API has luckily been introduced that also allows periodic waking from suspend, so you can for example wake up every 15 or 30 mins:

https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-k...y_periodic.cpp

There already is a modified meego cron for sailfish which has libiphb included: https://gitorious.org/cron-for-harma...on-3.0pl1.orig

Which makes me wonder why people put packages in repos that are not tested/working as expected in the first place.

that one has apparently issues aswell.

As for "not test/working as expected"
Well, disable my repo, and do your sh.. yourself.

Than you might have compiled the wrong code, as it works fine for me.

Well, I do compile a lot myself. I even upload to repos. And it is great that persons like you upload packages so people don't have to compile themselves. But I do run stuff myself for a while to see if it works as expected before uploading.

I would not have mind to look into the issue for you, but given your agressive attitude, I think it is better not to. Nevertheless I hope you can fix the issue for people that did install your fcron.

nieldk 2014-06-05 14:26
Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
I know you contribute a great deal, as for my attitude, Apology - but I am a bit tired of certain (not you) ppl and their attitudes also.
As for testing. I do test, and when I feel it could have a certain amount of interrest, I publish, here, or in openrepos.
fcron is an example, it works, but have problems with device goong to sleep.
As so do most of apps and services already present in a released device OS!
Therefore my opinion is, that this issue could be considered minor, considering the benefits of prey and enabling a usefull feature to track a stolen device, or ?

Hey, i got a screenshot from jolla to prey but it is black. Is it black because screen was black when it was taken?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Wow! it works.
Installed 6.2, done the first registration, updated to 6.3 and now it's all fully working.

Thank you

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Yes, I got it working! I installed v6.2 and did the first registration. That worked, the Linux Desktop showed up in my preyproject account. Then I checked the service running on my Jolla, and something seemed to be wrong. I updated to v6.3-2 and then 'systemctl status prey.service' works OK. Thanks!

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Sorry if it seems out of place, but can I install a prey instance on my own server without relying on third-parties? If no, is there an anti-theft solution that allow me to do this?

I don't think this question is out of place at all!
Actually, running the standalone version on own server opens more options.

install standalone version on your server, have a look here:

Thank you ! So basically the phone will only ping to my server and my server only to handle all Prey features ? I assume that you have to install the standalone version + the control panel for it to work correctly, am I right ?

I will do some testing on this.
But yes, install those on your server, and make the changes in prey config file on phone, so that it pings your server.
Given the very positive reply to my fundraiser, I will definately look more into a more complete solution to enable all features, and possibly think of what else could be handy.
I also would like to figure out a way to secure the phone - the services - so that it hopefully can be more 'tricky' for a thief to disable prey.

See http://preyproject.com/ for more info.

By the way, rainisto has mentioned that Jolla plans to officially integrate it into SailfishOS.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
I have just build nodejs. https://build.merproject.org/package...nielsen/nodejs
So, You can now install the newest version (1.3.6) with npm as instructed here:
https://github.com/prey/prey-node-cl...ster/README.md
It still not 100% good, but you can track the device, get reports and more.

CepiPerez 2015-01-19 19:35
Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Thanks for the info.
It was stolen, like my n9 and my old notebook. Yes, I have bad luck in excess.

I know what it does, but I'm wondering if what happen if I sent a signal to phone when it's disconnected from internet.
Does it get the signal when it's connected or I need to send signals til I get it?

I was planing to make an anti-thief app that checks in a web page if it's a stolen phone when active connection, and starts the magic by itself.
Of course, it was before I know there's already an app for this.

There is no /usr/share/prey/config when using npm for installing 1.3.6.
Am I missing something? Also no services were installed...

Edit: found /etc/prey/prey.conf but there is no option to set email and smpt server... :(

Any help would be nice... :)

Yes ;) The new prey uses a commandline configuration script (node)

Code:
[nemo@Jolla ~]$ prey config account

  Usage: cli.js config account [command]

  setup          Starts interactive command-line account setup.
  authorize      Validates auth credentials, and stores API key if authorized.
  verify        Verifies API & Device keys, optionally saving them to config.
  signup        Signs up for a new Prey account.
You can also play with

Code:
[nemo@Jolla ~]$ prey prey console
So, basically,
prey config account setup will ask you for your account credentials, and set up the configuration

It will add /etc/systemd/system/prey-agent.service

which should contain

Code:
[Unit]
Description=The Prey daemon.
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/lib/node_modules/prey/bin/prey

WorkingDirectory=/usr/lib/node_modules/prey

Restart=always

RestartSec=15

User=prey

Environment="TERM=dumb" "USER=prey"

KillMode=process

TimeoutStopSec=20

KillSignal=QUIT

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and should be enabled by restart (systemctl enable prey-agent.service if not)

Of course, it was before I know there's already an app for this.
the phone checks every 15 seconds (and there is a 20 second timeout value), that is a total of 35 seconds pull from the phone to the server.
That is, in theory on Jolla. It may take longer.
But, the phone will push for actions when registering, and one action is to check if it is marked stolen, in which case a report will be send to the server.
You can see location (if locked), info on Hardware, Wifi/Net connection and available wlans.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Hi nieldk,

I'm a bit puzzled here. I installed prey in August 2014. On the preyproject website I can see the Jolla with all MAC addresses etc. Prey claims the version 0.6.3 is outdated. Also, there are no logs of recent contact.

I looked into the Jolly through SSH and found the folder /usr/share/prey nearly empty. Only a file config.rpmsave is to be found there.

I tried to reinstall through Warehouse, but get errors about perl-Net-SSLeay not being installed. That won't install as perl is missing. And I cannot find how to install perl right now.

Can you help me on this?

Thanks, Rob

I suggest to do (as root) in terminal:

# pkcon install perl

Then you can install perl-Net-SSLeay. And perl-IO::Socket:SSL from my openrepos

Then, reinstall prey. (You should also install preu-UI by solbrit to more easy configure prey.

Bear in mind, iam also working on a more recent version.
Prey switched now to using nodejs.

I have it partly working. But at the moment it needs a change of mer-release or prey server wont recognize jolla.

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
Now what? preyUI crashes on me. Starting the service with the above code (or similar) results in:
Code:
[root@Jolla system]# systemctl enable prey.service
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
  .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
  a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

Re: [WIP] Prey - antitheft system
 
In preyUI I have to enter my root password. Normally I enable Remote connection - and root password - only when I want to SSH into the Jolla.
Do I have to have Remote connection enabled all the time?
Thanks!
EDIT: probably not, only when I wish to stop the timer from preyUI.

Remote connection .... hmmm..... never tried with this disabled.
But, good point indeed. Should not be needed.
