Hi, there's a password generator app for n900(also for n9), here's the official website.
http://passwordmaker.org/Maemo

Now after installing the app via terminal (sudo apt-get install passwordmaker and sudo apt-get install passwordmaker-frontend ), when i try to open the app from app drawer, it does not open, the icon stays selected. Does anyone know some workarounds to run the app normally?

Quick reply...

If you have a Terminal...
Try running passwordmanager-frontend from command-line.
If you cannot find it, run "dpkg -L passwordmanager-frontend" to find the binary, and then try to start the binary.
And post the output here.

Best wishes.

Hi, thank you for the suggestions, but i'm not sure about how to run app from the terminal. Can you say?

An app to generate passwords?

Maybe a quick google search first before shaking your head ?

passwordmaker is not just some random password generator. It creates a password based on a master password and a text (url for login for example).
This way you don't have to store passwords, but you recalculate the password by entering the master password and text.

yes, exactly as said by ade it can be used as a password manager. U just have to remember the master password, and u need app with u to generate passowrd, it will generate the same password on any platform.
Btw I have talked to the developer, he said, he is not maintaining the project anymore. Maybe a package is missing, so any can try some mod on this?

I installed the app to have a look for you (N900 version that is).

The frontend is python/PyQt4. I do not see any missing dependencies at the moment. Maybe some python library got corrupted.

So startup a terminal session and do:
And see what error it throws.

thank you very much. when i ran it first, it gave me error, python not installed, but i think when i installed the app, python and other packages were installed also. but anyway i did apt-get install python. it installed two files python-minimal_2.5.2-3maemo4_all.deb and python-2.5.2-3maemo4_all.deb.

Now when i entered the command u gave in terminal again, it says like this, Maemo application must be run with the run-standalone.sh script! QGTkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. Segmentation fault.

Btw have u run the app in ur n900 successfully?

No python? Python 2.5 is a dependency, so no idea why that was not there.

Try to install python2.5-qt4-common, python2.5-qt4-gui and python2.5-qt4-core also.

And yes, passwordmaker works fine.

With every above installation it says device has the latest version, i have tried with apt-get install -f too earlier.
