If any game seems to get stuck with "Initializing device unique ID", then check to make sure your bluetooth is on in the phone.

Also strace revealed some invalid paths in /media/cryptofs - fixed it with symlinks.

The bluetooth code is for retrieving the device name (which is a user-entered field), not the device id. You should add those media/cryptofs paths to the wiki

Could you help me with my problem?

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72463&page=2

I think mine is "application asked for device ID"
Maybe the problem is similar to yours?

guys i'm having a small problem with angry birds rio, it just won't launch, it crashes at the start, i did reinstall it but with no luck, so i'm guessing this might be the save file or something like that, i installed the game in a .deb format, and it was working perfectly .
any solutions guys ??
thanks .

try running this in terminal (don't use root)

/usr/bin/angrybirdsrio

And post the output here

I'm also unable to open this now (used to be able to open it) after rovio screen it crashes :(

I get this error

EXCEPTION : failed to open settings.lua for writing

Seems like something is screwing up the /usr folder..
And it's not just me i guess.. some of my friends also have this problem..
Does cssu have something to do with this?
I think it's the only major update recently..

Did you actualy check settings.lua? Try chmod 777 settings.lua to it (after navigating to its folder)!

@elie-7 & shuraizo
AFAIK, this is a problem due to AB Rio using relative file/folder paths instead of absolute. I first encountered it when trying to run the game from my home dir (i.e. /home/user) even though game was installed on /home/user/games/com.rovio.......... The error that is given is that it can't find somedir/somefile.lua (which is the giveaway really).

So, try this in xterm:

Code:

preenv
cd /path/to/com.rovio.angrybirdsrio
./angrybirdsrio

If everything runs okay, create the icon using preenv in xterm (also shown in the wiki):
Code:

root
preenv
desktopgen /path/to/com.rovio.angrybirdsrio/appinfo.json
exit

I'm not sure that this is accurate - I have run Settlers v1.1.1 on preenv 0.1.7 without adding a symlink in /media/cryptofs.

this works :D
I've tried chmod before but i did it on the /usr/bin folder.. no wonder it didn't work because it's a symlink file to settings.lua

Well in angrybirdsrio the problem was settings.lua

But in settlers the problem is "the application asked for device id"
I've tried opening it in the main folder (opt/preenv/usr...) And i still get the same error...
Tried the 0000 trick for preenv-uid but it doesn't work..

@Frontier - Do you have the devel enabled?

I am facing a problem with battery drain after playing webos games started from icons in menu. I have catorise installed and created menu items for all the webos games. If I launch from shell, then there is no problem but if I run from the menu, even after exiting some process keeps running consuming about 20% cpu continuously which drains the battery (I checked this using BatteryGraph app).
Also this happens randomly.
Any ideas/solutions?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 
now, my problem is after some changes and i try again to install preenv:

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 
for those having trouble in angrybirdsrio you may try to delete highscores.lua or something like that in the game dir. it works for me after lunching the game in x term i saw there was a problem in writing the highscores.lua so i deleted it :D

Me too... anybody know how to fix this? As a workaround, I make sure I restart my N900 after I finish playing with a WebOS game...

A 3 second search gave me this: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/glow/ - the Maemo version. Why do you want the WebOS version when we have a native one?

See this post for the fix for Buka, but I believe you need jflatts latest libsdlpre.so to be able to run the gconf commands.

This only changed the orientation of the screen, but not the orientation of the touchscreen =/

The screen is right, the touch isn´t

OperationNT 2011-04-28 21:01

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 
Yes but sadly, the only way you can fix it is to make the screen "wrong" (smaller and in another orientation) to fit to the touch screen mapping.

If you typed the command like that, it's wrong. It should be something like "sudo chown -R user:users /path/to/uflipgamefolder/" - the postiion of the spaces is very important. And obviously you have to replace the /path/to/uflipgamefolder/ with the correct path for your installation.

Go to the top level of the game folder and type "ls -laR" and copy/paste the output here.

N900L 2011-04-29 12:21

and how should the command look like?
i installed the game via wgames.

If you don't know where you've installed the game, then there's no way you could have typed the "chown...." command correctly, which is probably why it didn't work!

You can find out where the WebOs Games manager installs games by clicking 'settings' and reading what it says under "Bin Dir"...

That doesn't make sense, but I guess you're asking how you actually run the program?

Doesn't the wgames app create an icon for you? (and make the right file executable?)

If not use the cd (Change Directory) command so you're in the UFlip directory.

Then you'll have to work out which file is the executable one and set it to be executable:
Code:

chmod +x uflip
then run it:
Code:

./uflip
Sorry - I haven't got uflip so have no idea what the executable file will be called.
