@JSTAR, That is very strange, sounds like DPKG didn't correctly remove the .desktop file. What you can do is run the following in a terminal:

Code:

sudo gainroot
rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/AppLock.desktop
rm -R /opt/applock
rm /usr/bin/applock
rm /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.sierrasoftworks.AppLock.service

That should remove all the files and links created by AppLock (v0.3.1 also creates a settings file in /home/user/.applock)

@cutehunk04, Just tried installing it again and it appears that it all functions fine. That being said, I did find 3 small bugs that got introduced between my last test build and my repo build (Don't ask :P). They include the following:
1. The menu's background gradient (for dimming the screen's background when it is visible) is too dark at the bottom
2. Locking Binary applications isn't working for some reason (Probably an issue in the UI's QML)
3. The app seems to think that some applications which are NOT scripts are in fact scripts... Will look into that

Hmm, that is very strange. If it is showing the lock icon there then it should almost certainly be locking the apps. When you click Apply Changes does your phone lock? Otherwise if you could go and run applock -d from a normal terminal (not as root) and tell me what it says?

You could also try removing your settings.db file (in /home/user/.applock) after uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it. Uninstalling it doesn't remove the settings.db file.

I have pushed v0.3.2 to the autobuilder and my website, same links, which fixes the problem with the menu and the problem with adding binary applications (forgot to add the new settings management code to that function).

EDIT: Also pushed the latest source to Git if anyone wants it.
gitorious.org/applock-n900

EDIT2: Okay, well it looks like the menu bug was fixed and replaced with another variant of exactly the same bug :P. Will fix that in v0.3.3. In v0.3.2 it has a white background rather than a transparent one, meaning you can't see menu items behind it. Not a massive problem but it will aggrivate me until I fix it

Wow, that is awesome to hear

I still need to get script monitoring working as well as some other stuff but knowing that the UI is working so far is awesome

*Goes to find something to break*

I have been waiting for a year for this type of app. I downloaded version 2.2 which I uninstalled and now re downloaded latest version 3.2. I am having some problem starting the app. I click on the icon and it asked for lock code. After entering lock code screen is black and nothing happens. Could you plz help me? I am noob in linux so plz be patient. Thanks in advance

@linuxnoob, Could you open up a terminal from your menu (X Terminal) and type the following into it:

Code:

applock

Then if the screen goes black after you enter the lock code press Ctrl+Backspace, go back to the terminal and press Ctrl+C to close applock. Then Scroll to the top of the terminal and check if there are any error messages there. Otherwise you can do this instead:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
applock >> applocklog.txt

and attach the applocklog.txt file to your next post so that I can look at it.

Thanks
