Prey antitheft for Jolla

Started this new thread, to replace the old one as it is out of date. The information below is in that old thread, but spread around, so here is a recollection to sum up the install procedure for new prey version:

To install recent nodejs build of Prey for SailfishOS:

Add my merproject repository

Code:

$ devel-su

# ssu ar nieldk http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/nielnielsen/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/

# pkcon refresh

Install nodejs and sudo

Code:

# pkcon install nodejs

# pkcon install sudo

Alternatively, install the rpm by downloading it from
https://build.merproject.org/package...latest_armv7hl

https://build.merproject.org/package...latest_armv7hl

If you do not want to add my repository.

Then, install prey:
You NEED to do this using devel-su!

Code:

$ devel-su

# npm install -g prey

# prey config hooks post_install

# prey config account setup

now enter your account credentials,
The device is added, and you are ready to track it on panel.preyproject.com
service to start prey on boot is installed and enabled automatically

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

So far, this is what is working:

* Get location of device
* Get device hardware information (CPU/memory)
* Get network information (IP, neighbour wlans)
* logged in user (usually nemo or root)

Features missing:
* Screenshot
* Camera
* Sound alerts on device
* Message alerts on device
* Lock device
* Erase device

Allthough the missing features are nice to have (especially the lock device) I believe it is at this point usefull that we can get location reports for a stolen device.

Prey have added the distro 'mer' to the recognized distributions, so, any updates that will be done to enable the missing features should be pushable to them, and as such that will make it much more easy to install, as everything will be part of Prey's 'native' eco system.

A certain well-known developer ;) may look at the Prey sources and hopefully, in a near future we can have a more SailfiishOS-native client, and hopefully Jolla can make this a part of 'standard firmware'.

What needs to be considered, is how to protect de-installation of Prey.
Prefferable Prey as service can be protected from de-installation, and any GUI part that would be de-installed would be for status information only.

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

Installed prey this morning, and couldn't get it to locate where my Jolla is. Went to terminal and typed Prey and it came up with this. Is there suppose to be that many errors and critical?

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

So after installing Sudo everything seems to be working. It still reports errors, some the same and some new. However it seems to be working : 'Prey' after installing sudo,

After typing prey it would not let me type any other commands so I had to close the session. When I reconnected and typed prey it was happy :)

Yeah. Prey needs sudo for some access, and to run scripts as a prey user

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

works after running with devel-su, not root :)

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

Yes, it works again! :)

At the end of the installation I got a message that I should fire up a GUI. I lost the exact message, but nothing was fired up when I ran the command. So I got it working with:

Code:

prey config settings update api_key aa9999999999

prey config account setup

The API-key is found on the Settings page on the Prey website, left bottom corner.

In the meantime I tried the PreyGUI from Warehouse, but that did not do the trick. So I uninstalled it again.

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

Not everything is configurated now, it seems. Looking up the location from the Prey website provides the following log:

Code:

   notice Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:36 GMT [control-panel] Got valid push request!

     warn Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:38 GMT [control-panel] Got 1 commands.

     info Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:45 GMT [reports] Gathering status report.

    error Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:45 GMT [reports] Unable to get battery_status: Unable to read battery info.

    error Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:45 GMT [reports] Unable to get logged_user: No logged user detected.

     info Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:52 GMT [reports] Report gathered: status

     info Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:22:53 GMT [control-panel] Got 200 response: OK

So the user is not detected or registered? I'm also puzzled by the following:

Code:

[root@Jolla nemo]# prey config check

Checking installation.

Installation seems to be clean as a bean. Good job!

Voila! All good.

[root@Jolla nemo]# prey config activate

Error! This command should be run as the prey user.

Well, not completely folloew instructions ;)

I suggest you follow them.

Better to start with removing prey, removing any registered device in control panel (prey site)

Then, start from beginning on 1st post

Btw. No. There is no GUI, yet. Except prey website.

No. It still works.
But, perhaps the upgrade process removed some of what prey needs.
I cant really tell. I installed 2.0.0.10 from clean phone.

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

I also installed 2.0.0.10 after factory reset. Then installed Prey according to your instructions. Investigating.

Anyway «prey -r "get location"» returns a correct answer (locally). But panel.preyproject.com couldn't display it. Maybe an issue on server side (device only briefly seen by Prey service when Prey app is started, then shown as unreachable).

In prey.conf, 'auto_connect' is set to 'false' (which is surprisingly the default setting). Forcing it to 'true' doesn't fix the issue.

In prey-agent.service, 'TimeoutStopSec' is set to '20'. Should I increase it?

@nieldk What language was the old version of prey (not based on nodejs) written in and can I have a look at the source?
I'm primarily interested in python code to get gps location.

With help from Prey, yes.
They need info to add OS - sailfish - to the known platform types

Believe it shows in /etc/mer-release what they need (not sure if mer-release is correct for tablet)

If I understand that correctly, they do just get approximate position from wifi AP using googleapis - no GPS coordinates from a built in gps receiver.

Re: Prey antitheft for Jolla

Hi.

I have a conflict with the packages:

When I run prey -r "get location" I get a message saying that iwlist command is not found.
When I try to install "wireless-tools" the answer is that "iw" is installed already
And if I try to uninstall "iw" then "crda" is about to be uninstalled as well.

Any clues?

Regards.
