That link I posted was a repository install file not a repository URL. Did you load that URL in a browser on your tablet?

The libxpm4 package is a dependancy and won't be visible in appman. You've probably had it installed since ASUI was in my own repository.

If it still doesn't work you can download the package directly from http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...23-1_armel.deb and install it as root with dpkg -i screenshot-tool_1.23-1_armel.deb

• setting to enter and exit flight mode briefly when wifi is manually disconnected or times out (fixes a high drain problem)

Looks great! A few notes:
1. Upgrading from the previous release using Application Manager, I needed to reboot. The statusbar applet only showed the power button, cpu, and drain indicators. Attempting to load ASUI did nothing. Attempting to access the UI section of the settings crashed settings. Restarting ASUI from within the settings program did nothing. Rebooting made everything work.
2. I never use bluetooth, but like having the wifi icon there. Would you consider a double-sized wifi indicator when the bluetooth indicator isn't present (rather than saving space for BT when it'll never be there)?
3. Sliding on and off the screen is neat. I'll probably disable it to make it faster, but it's still neat to see.

Reproduced here, ugh. I'm not sure if the statusbar applet ever restarts during an upgrade but ASUI didn't restart nor would it start from asui-settings. I manually ran the program and it worked. I then started the service from terminal and it worked. Not sure why this happened.

Hmm, I'll see if its possible to flip the wif icon otherwise I'd have to duplicate all the wifi icons which is only two right now but will grow. Having wifi on both sides would balance it out though.

I only use the slide on unmap because I like the ASUI window to snap onto screen but added the feature in case anyone wanted it to slide on.

That was easy. Install ASUI, statusbar and settings test binaries and enable wifi mirroring.

I had not. I didn't recognize the ".install" as a special extension. I've just installed the deb, thanks for the described link.

And thanks for the new release. I've uninstalled LoadApplet now.

Problem with 0.5.9: N800 never blanking, on battery or charger. I've tried changing the various blanking settings, rebooting, etc.
Trying to force a blank yields "An app may have paused blanking..." but this is happening after reboot with no apps started.

btw, I notice that the issue with the Home key to switch ASUI pages also causing an unresponsive task-switcher menu is no longer present.

Likely same issue i have been battling for a while. Open up ASUI-settings, head to MCE, hit the restart button, see if this makes the N800 dim but not blank. If that is the case, head to control panel, display settings, change nothing but hit ok. Should work until next reboot of the device.

If the screen won't dim or blank it could be caused by alarmd keeping it on. Use the service section in ASUI settings to restart Alarm Dispatcher and then Machine Control Entity. If that doesn't work try stopping Alarm Dispatcher, restart Machine Control Entity and then start Alarm Dispatcher.

Not sure why it would have gone away...

OK, I've been rebooting my tablet for the past hour and trying various things.

1) Restarting alarmd is not necessary; resetting MCE does the trick, partway. After that reset, the tablet dims after 90 seconds, blanks after 120; thing is, my control panel is set for 10/30. Opening the control panel and just pressing OK is enough to get it to where it's supposed to be -- maybe. If I apply the C.P. immediately after resetting MCE, I get a 10/120 cycle, but a second application of the C.P. gets it right.

2) Each time I restart MCE, the screen brightens (my default level is 40). When I map ASUI, my "40" is shown in white, but below it is a "76" in blue. As soon as I touch a level control, brightness drops down to the expected level. This 40-over-76 state persists across dim/blank cycles.

3) I just rebooted for about the eighth time to check something else, and on reboot, it was in the desired state: dimming and blanking at the times I expect.


Perhaps unrelated to the blanking failure: I have twice seen ASUI's power meter pegged at 100% and staying there; mapping to ASUI shows normal CPU activity of just a couple percent, but back the desktop and the meter continues to be pegged. May be related to rebooting with WiFi enabled, rather than in Flight mode, but I haven't figured out a sequence of steps that makes this happen for sure.


Also: The task-switcher menu is now showing as it was before, so that problem isn't solved, maybe just suppressed by whatever was requiring an MCE restart. Something has changed with this, however: the menu is active, changing the displayed app beneath ASUI and closing the menu.
