Well, as far as I'm concerned, HealthCheck has become a standard app that everyone with an N900 should be using.

Dude (or Lady, i don't want to assume and offend) i am on the same page. I started reading up on what i need to download to get started as a developer. i am also taking some courses on I.T. i am totally inspired by this community and the n900 to go further with my knowledge of this kinda stuff

It really is an interesting place.... as a new developer you do get quite a few options. I did start with the scratchbox idea, but it wasn't for me.... alas, try, try try again and you will succeed - i found after following the pyQT in 30 minutes thread that everything fell into place so to speak.

With lots of help on irc, and from lcuk, qwerty etc... The app started to take shape, and it all came from an idea that Kathy and i had a few months ago.... (Newbies system checker of some sorts)

What courses are you doing, if you don't mind me asking?

I do have an IT background - but really a developer :) - and have a degree in IT, an HND, a few MCP's etc... but none that would hugely prepare me for the wonder that is PYQT :D

The irony of healthcheck is it was more of a foray into Linux! - there are lots of terminal commands, Until January, i had never used terminal - but a good DOS background holds you in good stead for terminal :D - it isn't that much different :D

Not long until Healthcheck meats the end-level baddy as lcuk so nicely put it - and forces its way into the land of Maemo.org downloads :D

I can't install healthcheck with application manager at the moment.

Code:

Unable to install 'healthcheck'

Application packages missing: python-gobject (=2.14.2-1maemo2)

ooo interrrrrrresting
Did the testers miss something? :D

If you have rootsh installed, go into terminal and try the following:

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get python-gobject

Not sure how that's happened - both are shown as being promoted to extras at exactly the same time. There must be some delay somewhere in the system though, allowing repository snapshots to contain the application but not its dependencies. Updating the repositories should fix the issue anyway.

Looks like the gstreamer-tools may have had the same issue too.....

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

just want to be sure, but the battery status is not 100% accurate is it? im asking because my phone says its fully charged but when i run the health check it shows it at 94%. i've ran it a couple of times and it still reads 94%. just wondering if this is normal or not.

the value is the same as what the phone reads, and unfortunatley is as accurate as you will get.

but yes..... very normal.

@Mike - take a look through some of the battery threads - it helps to understand how different, and estimated results can be:

Here is a good example :D

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

Today I still encountered the same problem, but got it installed after installing python-gobject from the command line.

Now healthcheck is installed, but it crashes a few seconds after starting it, doesn't draw any window. [Edit: well, it draws a black window and the name appears in the titlebar and the thing next to the name is swirling for a few seconds] :(

What's the name to use to start it from the terminal? (healthcheck: not found)

edit2: Maybe this hasn't got anything to do with my problem, since starting it this way doesn't draw the black screen and the name in the titlebar , but here's what running healthcheck.py says:

Code:

/home/opt/healthcheck # python healthcheck.py

** Start Imports **

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "healthcheck.py", line 43, in <module>

    import hildon

ImportError: No module named hildon

Also having problems here :( application starts but then crashes out plus the N900 then gets a little slow and so far only a reboot seems to correct that.

As it only sends.... not the easiest... but will definitley look into it!

Suggestion: put a message up on screen something like "Use an infra-red sensor (or most digital camera sensors) to check IR bulb output" while you turn it on (maybe for a few seconds, or tap to turn it on/off in a dialog, or flash it for a while).

I haven't been able to get mine to show any output yet, via either of the Qtirreco/Irreco for N900/"shutter" widget. Worried its broken... Is there a low level access to it?

Heya, sorry for the delay in replying :( - was away yesterday.

In Terminal Please can you try:
(You need rootsh installed)

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get install python-hildon

exit

python /opt/healthcheck/healthcheck.py

horza, please can you try the same, and paste out any terminal output/how far you get??

In x-terminal

Code:

python /opt/healthcheck/healthcheck.py

I'm pretty sure that the slowness/battery eating isn't healthcheck - unless it's caught in a loop?... it does nothing after load, unless you ask it too?! so tis very odd.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

Just a quick update of where i am at, at present.

There are a bundle of new features i am working on, i will put a few new releases into extras-devel - but not send anything into testing until PR1.2 comes out - as i will need to sort out the version numbers.

So far included and working are:

LED Pattern selector
Vibrate Pattern selector
Sound Test selector

To be added soon:

More space / disk information
Proximity checker
Dead pixel screen test
Bluetooth information checker
More detailed accelerometer and GPS Info
SQL Info - if i can (Amount of SMS data etc) - not sure on this one yet.
External IP addresses
Better graphics / ease of use
Individual updates + constant reads - such as accelerometer data.

I'm still interested to hear of any other information.

For those having issues on install, the software does call on alot of modules on installation. This is because it is trying to test alot of things.
I have added quite thorough debugging into the programme, and i'm adding even more!
To get to the debugging, go in x-terminal (On every device)
type

Code:

python /opt/healthcheck/healthcheck.py

The program will then dump the debug lines into x-terminal, you can then paste it into here, or screenshot it (CTRL+SHIFT+P) and upload the image as an attachment.

When i get home tonight i will list all of the extra modules used and hopefully how to recify any possible issues, like gobject and hildon issues.

Secondly, there have been two people mentioning a battery drain with healthcheck, obviously i would like to prove either way, and have run my own tests... so far it hasn't happenned to me... So it could be device/dependency specific.
Running conky at the same time(or htop) should help you identify any other issues.

Anyway, happy healthchecking, and will update you all with a shiny new version for testing soon!
:D

Superb, and thank you for the testing
Have added it as a dependency in the program, so new versions (Including the one in devel) include this dependency and should all work fine :D

forgot to add the sounds are picked from the standard usr sounds folder... pretty sure it might fail if people have managed to change the path....
Might need a folder search possibly....

Hi just wanted to say thanks for a great app and good work. I just have 1 question, when I run the app its reporting that my FM Trans strength is 118 even when its not switched on, is that how it should be?
