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

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 - it isn't that much different

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
OK, dont laugh. first tiem using terminal (succesfuly i mean, tried it before but kept entering the codes wrong so nothing happened) was about 3 wks ago. I am taking a 7 month course. after compelting it i would have acquired one mcp, net+, a+ and mcsa. a few more classes and a few hundred bucks later I should also have that mcse under my belt. all the while taking inturnships and part time jobs doing help desk or what ever i can get my hands on when i am not at my day job. also gonna take a class or two per semester till i get a degree. my goal is systems admin. but i am sure that will prob change as i go along especially since i am so facinated with making programs that get my pc to do what i want it to do. still reading on all the maemo and linux stuff. i havent actually developed anything yet. i am a very thorough learner. meticulous. ok, done typing every ones ears off. and congrats with the success of health check

Just a quick play for the past 10 minutes on lunch got me this:



Obviously that will be split into the four / five buttons that you want, and aligned so that it all looks good. Is this the sort of thing you were looking for fella...?

edit
just noticed that the sheens across the top and middle sections are not aligned properly with the edges of the cross. Will fix that later on

Ok, now, we have been talking about overclock ckecking functions, but I have been thinking about this and I got a rather large concern.... The other night I installed Debian - don't know what it is or what it does but I also had to install a rather large image file. During the installation of said image file I was on a call. That call was promptly dropped by the device followed by a total lock-up for a good 30 seconds before the phone screen came back. I clicked on close and the screen remained on phone for the next 30 seconds.

Now. What I put that down to was the proc being totally tied up with the installation of the image file. If the proc can get this tied up with installing an image file then hammering it at 100% load with a SuperPi string would *probably* have the same effect.

Ok, so your running an OC'ed N900 at 900Mhz, which is a MASSIVE 50% overclock on standard running speed. By doing that the core temp of the proc is increasing. You're also hammering it with a SuperPi string. It's getting hotter. And hotter. And hotter. You try to close the SuperPi string. The device does not respond. It's cycling the proc too much.

The proc meanwhile is still getting hotter. So this continues for the next 30 seconds or so.

Voila.

Fried CPU.

Smell that TCP'ish kinda smell? Thats what a PCB smells like when its frying. I know. I work with them. Just a little concerned is all..... But the same *could* be said for PC's.

Eggs anyone?

Just a quick one - will reply to the above when i get home!
Did a google search for N900 and Healthcheck out of curiosity - and amazed to see how many places it appears in, but even funnier is the google translation of some pages!!

Its your last few days to do any testing you want peoples! - http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...check/1.0.0-0/

in 2 days V 1 (At this rate) will be in maemo.org downloads
And a new version should be on it's way to testing!

Been looking through more and more foreign websites and seeing the odler versions dotted in some other repo's... + also translated versions!

More then happy to implement translatable versions in a future version (Just reading from a text file etc) - if needed. (Not sure if the QT translate part is still working, or will still be working in the future so to speak.

I am unable to find the application in the App Manager on my N900. When I try to install it through the browser from maemo.org/downloads I get an error: "Program package not found" (translated from danish).

Have anyone else these problems?
