Does restarting MCE usually work for those having alarmd blanking issues? I've added a couple sample buttons at http://asui.garage.maemo.org/buttons.html#commands and want to make sure that restarting MCE is the fix.

Have any of you made any command buttons that might be useful for others?

Everything works (previous song/next song) when the screen is locked but it doesn't play any songs.
@ Addison, did you get this working?

@ Johnnie Price, does this still happen with latest test binary? If so, could you download and install the debug binary "asui dd ; asui id". Look for any errors after "loading buttons..." or "loading widgets..." in the log file after installing. Then reboot and look for errors in the new log file. Run asui it to restore test binary after generating the log files.

Edit: I have confirmed that something is wiping out the entire ASUI state gconf folder. Might be related to alarms since it just happened twice after alarm tests caused my tablet to reboot.

restarting MCE takes care of the blanking issue after each restart here. Just need to pop into the display settings afterwards to set the dim and blank times afterwards.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/mce restart
sleep 2
restore_value()
{
    gconftool-2 --type $1 --set $2 `gconftool-2 --get $2`
}
restore_value /system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout
restore_value /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/brightness_period
restore_value /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout
restore_value /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/turn_off_display
Can you try copying that to a file, chmod 755 it, call it from a restart mce command button and let me know if it prevents the trip to control panel?

^ If you go to the Control Panel, Display, and hit Okay, There is some code that does all of that.

I never did find out what it was.

Anyway, I'll test the latest ASUI with your Xmms script later today and report back.

I'll test it out tomorrow and let you know what I see.

Seems to work here, for the short bit of testing i have done so far.

Edit: spoke too soon. Need to check myself it seems.

edit2: get a bunch of
Code:
Must specify a key or keys to get
Must specify alternating keys/values as arguments

Heh, did a quick tweak after i noticed that $1 was never set. a float on each line seems to have done the trick.

edit: or maybe not. Need to poke at this further.

edit2: oops, integer not float...

edit3: that seems to have done the trick.

Oops, I forgot the type

You don't need to test anything, the debug binary won't tell me anything. Can you confirm that it only happens when the tablet reboots from a lockup/crash? Or does a normal reboot initiated by you cause the state to revert? Try running asui k ; asui s from terminal and tell me if the state reverts. If it only occurs after a tablet crash reboot, let me know what happened right before the crash.

A normal reboot will cause this behavior, as well as a crash. I just stopped and started ASUI and all of my buttons need to be reset again.

Like I said, not a major drawback for me since it only takes me a few seconds to manually restore my custom layout. And it is only the specific layout of the buttons. All of the custom commands remain intact as does the layout of the individual widgets.

Could you run the debug binary and tell me if there are any errors after "loading buttons..." message? My buttons and widgets both reset along with control panel settings that ASUI doesn't even control, but only when the tablet crashes.
