pyside-qt4 0.4.0-1maemo4

I recommend you install that one, it should hopefully make the error go away. Make sure you're not installing the "pyside" package. That one is totally outdated and irrelevant. I wished the pyside packages weren't such a mess. You need pyside-qt4, not pyside. And you want this:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/pyside-qt4/

and not this (which is just the maemo5 module of Qt, not the complete bindings):

http://maemo.org/packages/view/pyside-qt4-maemo5/

I'm having this problem too. I've tried installing pyside-qt4 0.4.0-1maemo4 as per recomendation, and also a newer version (0.4.1-1maemo2) which I think has been made available since your post...

Code:

/opt/alarmed $ ./alarmed.py 

:: Starting alarmed GUI

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./alarmed.py", line 91, in <module>

    import alarmed_gui

  File "/opt/alarmed/alarmed_gui.py", line 9, in <module>

    from PySide import QtCore, QtGui, QtMaemo5

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PySide/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>

    import private

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PySide/private.py", line 2, in <module>

    from QtCore import __moduleShutdown

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PySide/QtCore.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6PySide14signal_connectEP7_objectPKcS1_

Any help greatly appreciated :)

Seems like the problem is back. Apparently, such compatibility issues happen with pyside. Not sure why, as I'm not involved in the process.

In any case, I reopened the bug report and we'll wait for an answer...

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

Hi

I am hoping someone can help me.

Does anyone know what code/command I can use to get alarmed to automatically set my status to "online"?

I'd like to set up Alarmed so that I go "online" with my SIP, MSN and Skype at 8am every morning.

Hhhrrrmmmph that sucks :(

Thanks for your answer - I'll just wait :)

And thanks for your hard work in making this app - shame I can't use it yet (and I appreciate this bug isn't your responsibility).

Has anyone seen any 'easy' guides to manually add an entry to the .ini file so I can run a script I've written on a daily basis?

Alarmed ships with a command line interface that has all the features of the GUI. Type

Code:

cd /opt/alarmed/

./alarmed.py -h

to see some output on how to use it. Here's an example on how to use it; First I create an event using the cron syntax to run every day at 18:12 using the -T, -c and -E options. Then I look at my creation using -CL. Make sure you put options, such as the command you want to run or strings into quotes (") or (').

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# /opt/alarmed/alarmed.py -C -T "my event" -c '12 18 * * *' -E 'echo "test" > /tmp/testfile'

Event added successfully. ID: 23

Nokia-N900:~# /opt/alarmed/alarmed.py -CL

        Event ID: 23            

        cron: ['12', '18', '*', '*', '*']

        schedule: Cron String

        title: my event

        enabled: 1

        content: echo "test" > /tmp/testfile

        ttime: 1285517519

        datetime: 26.09.2010, 18:11

        type: Command execution

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

Thanks - that's exactly what I needed. Sorry I completely overlooked the fact you've provided a CLI interface too - doh :)

Could you please open a terminal and run Alarmed from the command line?

Code:

/opt/alarmed/alarmed.py

Then reproduce the problem you describe and look what it says in the terminal and post the output. Thanks.

It is somewhat expected:

Code:

Error calling slot "saveEvent"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/opt/alarmed/alarmed_gui.py", line 566, in saveEvent

    eventInfo["title"] = str(self.titlePicker.text())

For that, you need to send messages to telepathy over dbus. Search forum for that, there have been some hints.

Oh, one more thing. The deletion issue brought another: editing and alarm now duplicates it. Presumably, instead of editing, you delete and readd the alarm, so editing duplicates.

Fixed it by reflash. I think it was the Python, it started a reboot cycle on initializing widgets, had to flash it.
