| attah | Are the repo servers ok? My tablet isn't finding updates, and my Xperia 10 "can't determine the size" | 09:50 |
|---|---|---|
| attah | Xperia 10 II also not able to determine size of update... | 19:07 |
| mal | strange | 19:15 |
| attah | yes indeed | 19:15 |
| attah | Maybe i'm good at breaking things in the exact same way... but still feels like a trend | 19:16 |
| attah | Let's boot some more devices | 19:17 |
| attah | Hmm, XA2 found it and could start downloading | 19:19 |
| attah | Now the tablet started updating... 10 and 10 II still weird | 19:28 |
| henk | abr: hey, I’m trying to improve an app on the pebble and for testing I need to install the app from file. https://github.com/abranson/rockpool/issues/104 seems to stop me from doing that, though. Do you happen to have a workaround? or can even make a fix? or tell me how to fix it so I can try creating a patch? | 20:59 |
| attah | henk: is this a SailJail thing and you are trying to use a jailed app and expect to see files in home? | 21:02 |
| attah | that's not happening... try Downloads, Documents or whatever | 21:03 |
| henk | attah: uuuh, I have no idea. TBH I don’t even know what SailJail refers to and what a "jailed app" means exactly … I’d expect to see the files in my home. | 21:03 |
| attah | henk: with all due respect, you must have been living under a rock(pool?) then | 21:04 |
| henk | attah: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe. so far I had no need to know, apparently … | 21:06 |
| henk | attah: it’s probably not clear: I’m just a user, when it comes to sailfish, phones, and the pebble smartwatch. I’m not an actual software developer, not in any environment. the only time I heard something about apps being jailed (or not) on sailfish was when I complained that some apps want basically "all" permissions even though they don’t actually need any of them and I | 21:09 |
| henk | was told that they probably have not been properly ported to some new system, yet. at least I think that is related :D | 21:09 |
| attah | Yes, apps now have restrictions on what they can access. Apps not updated will get a default set roughly corresponding to everything that used to work | 21:10 |
| henk | anyway, in this case I’m afraid it’s some hardcoded path that simply does not apply to my system. I have no /home/nemo … could that be (part of) the issue? | 21:10 |
| attah | If you are a regular user you'd not be putting files in home, especailly anymore | 21:10 |
| attah | Right, if there is a hardcoded nemo, that would mess things up in newer installs too probably | 21:11 |
| henk | attah: in this case, I’m not putting files anywhere yet, because I couldn’t figure out where I’m supposed to put them :D | 21:12 |
| attah | that's not what i read from you before... but ok | 21:12 |
| henk | and I guess I’m not quite a "regular user", but a linux power user, though not a sailfish power user … I don’t know | 21:13 |
| henk | attah: uhm, sorry, maybe I misphrased something. are you referring to "I’d expect to see the files in my home."? | 21:15 |
| attah | yes, mainly | 21:15 |
| attah | i kind of inferred that already, and that phrasing "confirmed" it to me | 21:16 |
| attah | so try changing to defaultuser, and put the file in some well-known/standard sub-directory of home, and see if that solves things | 21:16 |
| henk | attah: ah, that’s just an expectation based on what the app shows when I try to select a file (»shows a screen with "nemo" in the upper right corner and nothing else« in the mentioned github issue). I wasn’t aware that the jailing would prevent that anyway. | 21:17 |
| attah | yeah, so maybe jailing had indeed not hit you just yet | 21:19 |
| henk | I put it in Downloads/ and rockpool shows "nemo" in the upper right corner and "No files" in the "middle" (not quite the middle but about 1/3 down the screen). (I have to fix the description in the bugreport …) | 21:22 |
| attah | so... try and edit that qml then? | 21:22 |
| attah | they are in /usr/share somewhere | 21:23 |
| henk | o_O I wasn’t aware I could just do that … | 21:24 |
| attah | live a little! :P | 21:25 |
| henk | cool, that fixed it, I could install the app (: I used /home/defaultuser/Downloads | 21:26 |
| henk | abr: ^ | 21:26 |
| henk | attah: thanks a lot! | 21:26 |
| attah | no worries... sorry for assuming you'd gotten in to the pickle yourself | 21:27 |
| henk | I hadn’t quite noticed that you did :D did you think I was developing an app for sailfish? that would make sense with your jail-related comments … | 21:31 |
| attah | I just skimmed the issue and saw home directory and file not found | 21:31 |
| attah | ...assuming the app worked since people supposedly use it | 21:32 |
| henk | ah ok. well, it does work, generally. the thing is that pebble (the company that made the watches of the same name) is gone since 2016/2017, their services since 2018, so you can imagine that there are not that many users left. overall they seem to have sold ~2M devices. and I’m here trying to use one of the "developer tools" that a normal pebble user probably never needs … | 21:38 |
| henk | aaand there we go, the vcard in the qr code works (: | 21:46 |
