Need some dedicated testers.

golgoj4,

your signature file points to http://langstonball.com/downloads as nightly builds. I couldn't find any there...

It seems I'm having trouble getting qorbiter to run. Could it be that qorbiter has issues with encrypted cellphones? It still creates the linuxmce folder, but no files...
I'm running kit Kat, by the way

Encryption shouldnt matter, i will look into it further? (Hoping) Qt5 android version?

[maverick0815]

Hmm, weird enough. I've tried several times, but it wouldn't connect and not create a config file. So I downloaded the lmce orbiter (dev build) from the webadmin page. Tried that one....and suddenly qorbiter started to cooperate again. I'm a bit stumped.
one other question. I saw when updating skins that there seemed to be skins for tvcontrol, but trying tv (I'm using mythtv ) but says the screen doesn't exist. I just want to make sure, that it's not an error on my machine, but that feature isn't available yet, correct?

I was working on livetv (cable/ sat box), forgot to update myth. Will get to the expeditiously.

Hey,

I'm trying to install the Qorbiter5 on a LG Nexus 5.

But unfortunelly i'm stuck somewhere.
The Qorbiter on my android phone 'hangs' on --- please wait, loading.... ---


I think that it's a problem with the server. Since I couldn't install it like written in http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Android_Orbiter.
The link "http://langstonball.com/qorbiter/setupQorbiter.sh" doesn't work me.

So I followed this manual: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/QOrbiter_Setup.
But I guess somewhere, I did something wrong... :$

This will be a skin issue, we've been moving a lot of things around recently to reduce duplication in development.  Bear with us for a day or two while we get the packages all sorted out and installation will be a simple "apt-get install xxxx"

[brononius]

a day or two

Great, can't wait...
I'll be the first to test it.

Thanks!!!!

[phenigma]

I became very, very ill so the pkging is not done yet, hopefully today, if not Tuesday for sure.

Hey,

Hope you feel better...

Any idea when we could test this?

Else I'll need to invest some time to relaunch the old orbiters on our phones in order to have a working one... We use this mainly to control our house, so it's very usefull/necessary for us. Speciall since we don't have enough switches in our house to control everything... :$

Time well spent! And keep it installed so you have a temporary orbiter ready to use for when the guys are working on qOrbiter.

Cheers,
Matt.

Sorry about that, it's been up and live since last Tuesday.  I completely forgot to mention it.  In case I forget in the future you can watch http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-1204_pre-alpha for updates to 1204 packages.

On your core:

Code Select Expand


apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade


If you have not already, ensure that you have the android skins package installed on your core:

Code Select Expand


apt-get install lmce-qorbiter-skins-android


Then, from you android device, you can navigate to the webadmin page on the core.  At the webadmin login page there is a link to "Download Orbiter, Utilities and other software", click that and then you can download "Orbiter For Android Qt5". 

Make sure you remove the old qorbiters from you devices, then you can install the new .apk you downloaded from the core.

When updates happen the procedure is the same to upgrade.

Just gave it a try, everything goes fine. Up to the point that i don't have an orbiter for QT in the list. Only an orbiter for Android.
I guess this isn't the same?

[phenigma]

hmm.  I probably changed its' name after removing the qt4 variant.  It should be the correct one.

When I install it (forwards me to http://deb.linuxmce.org/LinuxMCE-Orbiter.apk), it looks very like the old one. :$
And on the server, a new 'Generic Proxy Orbiter' has been added.
