any ideas why a heck that doesn't run prey automatically?

Read back the previous page

Hey, i got a screenshot from jolla to prey but it is black. Is it black because screen was black when it was taken?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards az2111

i have just reinstalled Prey after a full reset of my jolla phone.
Now i'm on 1.0.8.19

I have started the script for the first time but this is the unhappy output:
[root@Jolla ~]# /usr/share/prey/prey.sh

No status update from Prey website....
is it a temporary problem?

have tested with my home wifi connection and mobile operator too.... same result...

no ideas ?

could you please try to uninstall v6.3, and then install and set up v6.2.
Then, if that works, install v6.3

Wow! it works.
Installed 6.2, done the first registration, updated to 6.3 and now it's all fully working.

Thank you

Yes, I got it working! I installed v6.2 and did the first registration. That worked, the Linux Desktop showed up in my preyproject account. Then I checked the service running on my Jolla, and something seemed to be wrong. I updated to v6.3-2 and then 'systemctl status prey.service' works OK. Thanks!

Sorry if it seems out of place, but can I install a prey instance on my own server without relying on third-parties? If no, is there an anti-theft solution that allow me to do this?

I don't think this question is out of place at all!
Actually, running the standalone version on own server opens more options.

install standalone version on your server, have a look here:
