Title: Problem with New Weborbiter
Post by: davegravy on July 06, 2010, 06:15:52 pm
After apt-get updating/upgrading this morning, I followed the instructions in the wiki for the "old" weborbiter, as I understand they should still work for the new one.

The home screen will load, but clicking anywhere results in the angry flying red linux penguin (see attached)

The log seems to show that the device kills the connection immediately after loading the home screen (before any input is received from the user).

Log file below shows a router reload (12:08:34) and then starting a session in IE8 (12:09:13). I can post a detailed log if it will help.

Hi,

I will be writing up a new Wiki page for the new Web Orbiter asap... the config and setup needed is somewhat different to the original Web Orbiter - I will write that up asap. The 'Flying Tux' cursor is a 'placeholder' for a more appropriate 'beach ball' cursor that indicates when a screen update is being processed. There is a new and updated build of Web Orbiter 2.0 in svn now that includes a number of improvements and a more appropriate 'beach ball' style cursor this should appear in the next build ;-)


Here is the wiki page for the new Web Orbiter...more work needed but it should help anyone to get started; http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Web_Orbiter_2.0 (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Web_Orbiter_2.0)

All the best

Personally I don't like this message: "Could not find text object: 670". Try a full regen (not a quick one).

The "device kills connection immediately" symptom is actually alright, since the web page connects, does its thing and disconnects. Once a second you should see a "ANYNEWS?" message in the logs, because the web page checks for updates every second, and if you don't, it means the Proxy_Orbiter lacks a change (but this change would only prevent automatic refreshes from working, the rest of the web orbiter should work just fine regardless).

Actually, I didn't upload the beach ball cursor to LinuxMCE :) You still get SuperTux. I'll put it in LinuxMCE SVN now, but leave it disabled until a switch is made for selecting one or the other (some people like SuperTux :P).

Also, try Firefox and Chrome, just to rule out any Javascript issues with Internet Explorer.

Tried Chrome and the behaviour is a bit different (though still broken). Instead of the SuperTux persisting after the first button-push, it disappears after a couple seconds and is replaced by a blank (black) screen. The only exception to this is the "Active Calls" button which yields the attached image.

OK, that rules in a Javascript issue with Internet Explorer. I don't have it, so I never tested it. The other screens seem to be botched regens.

SuperTux appears before an AJAX request is sent with a command and to load the resulting image, and then it disappears. Somewhere the AJAX request dies on Internet Explorer.

Actually you just need to replace the file /var/www/pluto-admin/weborbiter/waiting.gif to change from SuperTux to anything else that you like as a 'refresh' cursor.

According to the documentation  (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Web_Orbiter_2.0)one can have several web orbiters you just have to change the port.
But what then, how can one access them ?

Lets say one for a PC, one for a phone, one for an ipad, ...
I assume thats the idea.

When you log in, you select which orbiter you want to access. Indeed, a bit of a pain to do each time, which is why chrisbirkinshaw has offered to make logins 'permanent' in this post: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8880.msg71469#msg71469 (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8880.msg71469#msg71469)

Hi Viking,

Yes thats exactly the idea. When you access your Web orbiters from http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin/weborbiter.php (http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin/weborbiter.php) you will be asked to login as a valid User and then you will see displayed a dropdown listing all the Web orbiters you have added to your system... simply choose the one that you want to use and click (or touch) the 'Open' button. Once your using the Web Orbiter you can click the 'Logout' button that is displayed underneath the Orbiters screen area in your browser and this will log you out and display the 'Login' screen again.

All the best

Hmmm... thats interesting. Ok we dont have any USB motion cams here on our test systems (just IP Cams and they work fine). but one of the team here has a USB Cam on his home system...I'll ask him to see if he can reproduce the problem. Thanks.

Hi Raymond,

Thanks glad you like the design.

Yes we use a combination of HA Designer and Gimp or Photoshop to create our UI's. If you search the Forum you will find numerous threads and Video tutorials by Thom who is the acknowledged master of creating UI's for LinuxMCE - we learnt what we know from him to a large extent. The rest was just a lot of trial and error... the tools currently are really not very friendly and really do demand that you have a very good understanding of the technical structure of the system. The hope is that we can change this over time - the objective is to make the process much more about design so that designers can directly get involved.

All the best

We currently do not have any plans to make our UI's available separately to Cascade or Dianemo systems. In fact separating the UI from either Dianemo or Cascade would not work as the UI's are tighly coupled to features & changes we have in our builds.

So currently you would need to purchase a NerveCentre or a complete system to get access to these UI's.

All the best
