Re: need to move a file
 
Hmm, i am no expert but a few points crop up in my mind:
a. Did u become root before doing this?
b. are you in /home/user/ folder? Else you will have to do cd /home/user/MyDocs/.....

Re: need to move a file

Re: need to move a file
 
become root through sudo gainroot,
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
, then use
Code:
mv desktop_lock.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/
instead of
Code:
cp

Allright, from the top then:

Open leafpad from xterm using
Code:
leafpad
Create a .desktop file that looks like this:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=Lock
Exec=dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked"
Icon=general_locked
Once that is done click on the top bar, and go to "Save As" - name the file "lock.desktop" and where it asks for location (currently says "/") change that to your device (click on the "/" button then click on your device name on the next pop-up - this will be the root of MyDocs folder in your device)

Open a new terminal window and become root
Code:
root
mv /home/user/MyDocs/lock.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/
Next open the settings on your desktop and "Add Shortcut" - add the shortcut called "Lock" and press it for fullscreen lockery shenanigans. Enjoy.

Save it as lock.desktop

Copy this onto your phone using USB or alternatively create it natively and save it to your /MyDocs (default location).

Open a new terminal window and become root
Code:
root
mv /home/user/MyDocs/lock.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/
Next open the settings on your desktop and "Add Shortcut" - add the shortcut called "Lock" and press it for fullscreen lockery shenanigans. Enjoy.

Re: need to move a file
 
i have a shortcut now . but as you said , it didn't work for me either :$
did it work at your side ?

Re: need to move a file
 
use the code
Code:
mv /ho<TAB>use<TAB>My<TAB>loc<TAB> /us<TAB>sha<TAB>appli<TAB>hildon/
TAB is found at the bottom left hand side of the terminal window and it autocompletes the names for you. with this you can't really go wrong. Befoer we go too much further, you did use copy-paste technology on the dbus script if nothing else, right? You didn't actually go to the lengths of handwrinting it all in? Before it all goes tits up again!
