Re: cannot open display localhost:10.0 - Solved Yet?

Hmm, may have sent this to miguel rather than the group... Apologies
if so. Anyway:

Same here. I can positively confirm that when I log in to the target
server from another Linux box (ssh -X), then sshd on the server sets
$DISPLAY to localhost:10.0 and X11 forwarding works.

When logging in to the server with iSSH 4.3.2, iOS 4.0.1, from the
same subnet as the Linux box, $DISPLAY gets set to localhost:10.0 as
well, but X fails with "can not open display". This has worked
reliably before with earlier versions of iSSH, but by on iOS3. So my
guess is that either an iSSH update or iOS4 broke things (for me at
least). If I could take another guess, I'd suspect that either iSSH
doesn't keep the tunnel (properly) open or the iSSH X-Server doesn't
terminate the tunnel properly.

Hi,

I loaded sample RSS GUI and was able to change weather underground to my city no problem but current temp is being display as:

$67.7$F

I loaded original to make sure I did not do something and I get same result. Seems like regex is off, can someone give me a hand.

Thanks

Re: Set Join to value upon startup

0 comments 7:05 PM Posted by osama algendy

Create a command, and set its value to anything (other than a space)
and check the optional set target box.
Then choose the join type and join number you want to set, and assign
its value.

Now create a timer on the startup page (right click the portrait or
landscape node of the page) and add a new timer with a repeat count of
1 and an interval of 1, and choose the command created above.

This will call the command when the page first shows, causing the join
to change state.

Re: Need help with scrolling lists that DO something...

0 comments 7:03 PM Posted by osama algendy

I think the main problem is that you are setting two global tokens,
which would of course be overwritten for each list item. So you need
to set a token on a single object, say the button in the list item.

Here is what I would do:
Add group
Name=[guid]
Capture index=1
Data type=serial
Join=253 (join number of your button in the list)
Target type=digital
Token type=Token
List index=

Remove the onmatch that creates the command value, and instead change
the command to:
Command Name = playAlbum
Command Value = PlayAlbum {[guid]}\x0A\x0D
Note that the actual play command must have the { } brackets in it as
per the autonomics protocol docs.

Now because the token is set on the same button that is calling the
command, the token will be replaced when sending the command.

Is there clipboard support?

0 comments 6:22 PM Posted by osama algendy

Often times, as a *nix newbie, I'd like to reference the web and other
media. Clipboard support would be really helpful to paste copied
commands from Safari. Better still would be an integrated browser
(with Multitasking coming this isn't as needed) with clipboard
support. I guess just clipboard support to paste to a terminal would
be ideal!

Update on progress

0 comments 6:07 PM Posted by osama algendy

Just wanted to let everyone where things are at with 4.4. So far everything is progressing nicely. VNC performance has been improved significantly. DWM integration is nearly complete. Independent key management is done. Several minor bugs from this latest release have been squashed. I've also begun to add accelerated GLX support to the X server. Yes, this means that remote X clients using libGL will now render at relatively fast speeds on iOS devices (I'm translating OpenGL to OpenGL ES 2.0 for now.) See the attached screenshots.

If the hardware accelerated GLX project starts taking too long I'll cut it short for this release and have just software rendered GLX for the time being.

As always, comments, thoughts and criticisms are welcome.

Re: cannot open display localhost:10.0 - Solved Yet?

0 comments 6:00 PM Posted by osama algendy

PTMixer,

Your error is different than the original poster's. The error message
given by "startxfce4" is the clue. It says, "X server already running
on display localhost:10.0". This means the connection has already
been made and the system is aware of the remote X server. What seems
to be going on here is some scripting in the background that tries to
start up an X server if it doesn't see on running locally.

Need help with scrolling lists that DO something...

0 comments 4:05 PM Posted by osama algendy

Hi All Again -

I can't figure out how to "press" a scrolling list button and "play"
an album.

I am OK with creating a scrolling list of "albums".

The "play" command is:
PlayAlbum "guid" where guid is between {...} - see below.
e.g. PlayAlbum 80e5e8b9-b983-c7d9-8ea6-fc9099daee86
This would play the "Best Of The Doors"
It works as a button command directly - for testing.

I am trying to build the dynamic command string above that includes
the guid as a token
from the scrolling list.

I am creating a dynamic list from the following data:
BeginAlbums Total=8 Start=1 Alpha=1
Album {80e5e8b9-b983-c7d9-8ea6-fc9099daee86} "Best Of The Doors"
Album {c79cf3a5-e992-caf8-a1ec-bf8398ffc6be} "Crosby, Stills, Nash &
Young"
Album {427ca566-e7e9-4ecd-9ed1-1ddadb9d07e8} "Hell Freezes Over
(Eagles)"
Album {9effcae1-cec8-c893-ae80-a9c1a7b093a5} "Slow Train Coming (Bob
Dylan)"
Album {d4c7afc0-81c2-c8bb-92fd-db80eacbc4c4} "Tuesday Night Music
Club (Sheryl Crow)"
Album {c2403518-c827-46cb-9c8b-6c16ca036cdd} "Unplugged (Eric
Clapton)"
Album {3c0b2a81-1e87-4659-8b24-1b7bdb722609} "Waiting For Columbus
(Little Feat)"
Album {bfb69aa3-d9b2-ccf8-9288-b982faff8986} "Who's Next (The Who)"
EndAlbums NoMore

I am capturing the token with this regex:
(?ims)album \{(.*?)\} "(.*?)"

Onmatch
Target type=list
Join=252 (same as upper right list type)
Assign token = false
Value=c

Add group
Name=[guid]
Capture index=1
Data type=serial
Target type=global
Token type=Token
List index=

Add group
Name=
Capture index=2
Data type=serial
Target type=serial
Join=254 (indirect text of list)
Token type=Value
List index=

Onmatch
Target type=global
Assign token=true
Value=PlayAlbum $[guid]$ \x0A\x0D
Token=[playAlbum]

List Analog = 252
List Button Digital = 253
List Indirect Text = 254

I created a command with the following:
Command Name = playAlbum
Command Value = [playAlbum]

What am I missing? I have followed Fiasco's list tutorial and the
following threads...

http://groups.google.com/group/commandfusion/browse_thread/thread/3b3dd36e1b5fea4b/a056d48f996824ae?lnk=gst&q=list+index#

Please HELP - I am going crazy with a "brute force method" of trying
every combo!

TIA - Brad

Possibly the on screen keyboard is blocking the cursor line? Push the
keyboard button to the right of the 'Tab' button at the very top of
the screen.

Re: (iPad io3 64gb w/3G) no interactive ssh terminal

0 comments 12:03 PM Posted by osama algendy

Assuming I understand you correctly, namely you have put something in the command field, then what you got is exactly what any ssh client would do, namely log into the host, execute the command and then logout of the host.

For example, in a Linux/Solaris/OSX/HP command line, if I enter

ssh -l myLoginName myLoginHost 'date ; ls -al'

ssh will log into myLoginHost, execute the command, report back the results and then logout.

That this is the case can be seen by reading the man pages of ssh on any unix machine.

To open and maintain an interactive terminal session, omit the command.

Set Join to value upon startup

Hello World!

After finishing my control bar (including the "set" button which
switches in between modes), need to set Join number 1 to true upon
start of the iViewer application (because this will activate my first
"set").

I could not find a way to make that happen yet. Any hints?

Sounds nice, but how about some switch in the preference settings,
with which you can influence the closure behaviour?

Re: cannot open display localhost:10.0 - Solved Yet?

0 comments 9:00 AM Posted by osama algendy

Hello:

'Me too'.

I am likely less knowledgeable than the OP, but I'm getting the same
error. My setup:

iSSH 4.3.2 on my iPad
Make a Shell connection over SSH to an Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Server
installation (VM running in ESXi) that I recently installed Xfce
desktop packages on (GUI works fine on local console). I get text
login prompt as expected.
If I type startxfce4 I get this error: "/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server
already running on display localhost:10.0" and a bunch of other errors
also follow.

At first I thought this was because the machine booted to a GUI login
prompt, so I managed to get Ubuntu to just boot up to a text login
prompt by changing a setting in Grub2.

If I type xterm at the shell prompt (in iSSH) I get some different
errors; libxfcegui4-warning ICE I/O Error, then "disconnected from
session manager".

I chose Xfce because I thought it would run a little better than Gnome
with limited resources. Can you recommend a method for users (who are
perhaps new to X forwarding) to experience an X session on the iPad --
I certainly could have missed a critical setting in Ubuntu to make it
work. Basically I want to have the full desktop draw on the iPad with
iSSH as the window server. Is that possible?

Thanks.

Yes it will take advantage of the iOS4 multitasking.

Which means to actually close the app and reload the GUI file you will
need to open the task manager (double click home button) and hold the
app icon to close it.
Extra pain, but worth it for the speed in opening the app each time.

(iPad io3 64gb w/3G) no interactive ssh terminal

0 comments 4:50 AM Posted by osama algendy

Chaps,

Thought issh was supposed to be a full ssh interactive terminal app so
I could log into anything that is running ssh server. The only thing
I seem to be able to do is condfig a host, connect via ssh and run
whatevervis in the "Command" field in configuration screen. ...

Terminal window comes up nice, but only runs the "command" in the
server config page. No cursor, no prompt, and no :).

I mean it's cute being able to do this in the "command" field:

date ; ls -al ; . ~/.profile

But I don't have a cursor to actually interact with.

Ur help is greatly appreciated in advance.
Cheers

Any info you can parse from a server or website can be shown. We don't
have 'widgets', you design each page how you want it.

Basically you would request the data from a website or RSS feed with a
HTTP Get request, then parse the data coming back and grab the info
you want and assign it to joins matching objects on your page.

I will upload a sample guiDesigner project that parses an RSS weather
feed later today. If you don't see a reply here with the link by
tomorrow, please post again to remind me to upload it! :)

When you send a command from iViewer, does the network LED on the GC
unit blink?
Also, does the LED on the IR port you are sending to blink?

Can you tell us what IP address the GC unit has, and the IP address of
your iPhone?

Also, do you have the project properties > Control System details left
blank in guiDesigner? Make sure its blank.

Hi Again,

Another thing to check, You would be better naming the system after
the device you are sending the IR command to. Like Sky Box or TV. Also
do you learn the IR command through the Itach and then disconnect from
the PC and put the Itach somewhere else as the IP address could change

Just a thought

Re: Connection to Global Cache iTach wifi2ir

Hi,

I recently bought the Wifi2Ir and had the same problems. No matter
what I did I could not get the comms right. I contacted the guys at
Global Cache who said that there may be a problem with the unit and I
should try to upgrade the fimware. This did not work either, they said
I may have bought an old unit that had a "Hardware Fault" and I should
send it back for repair. I contacted the supplier who had another 4 on
the shelf which were from the same batch and also faulty. I decided
the best solution was the IP2IR and a couple of homeplug ethernet
adaptors. Works great now

Re: Connection to Global Cache iTach wifi2ir

Yes I tried it both ways with and with out the EOM, still nothing:

System properties:
System name: iTach
IP address: entered as the ihelper program states what the itach's IP
address is.
Port: 4998 Port Origin: 4998
TCP
Maintain constant connection: ON
Heartbeat managed by system: OFF
Heartbeat RX: blank
Heartbeat TX: blank
EOM: \x0D
Conected Join 0
Disconnected Join 0
Startup command: none

Then I have a command set as:
System: iTach
Command Name: info
Command Value: sendir,
1:3,1,38226,1,1,343,172,19,171,19,171,19,86,19,86,19,171,19,171,19,86,19,86,19,86,19,86,19,86,19,86,19,86,19,171,19,86,19,171,19,3822\x0D

When I upload my GUI to the iviewer for ipad. I click the button and
the iTach does nothing. I even have a unit that will check if an IR
command is being blasted and there is NOTHING.

When I use the iTach ilearn program the itach respondes perfectly to
the command. So there is NO link happening between the iPad and the
iTach. I must be missing a setting somewhere????

The key setup stuff for connections is changing in the next big
release so I should be dealing with whatever caused your issues using
the DSA key.

A clear LED typically signifies that the device doesn't have a good
enough connection to even do a host lookup. Neither the 3G or Wifi
devices had domain name server information. As such, when you tried
to connect, you ran into the same issue the LED was having in trying
to resolve the host, which was no known DNS servers... yet.

iSSH bugs?

0 comments 9:42 AM Posted by osama algendy

Hi, been a happy user for a while.
However, here are a few glitches...
1) if i close (kill) issh i still get push notifications telling me
the connection is about to die. Not just one, i get two. If i go back
to issh the chances are that the ssh-connection is already dead and
thus i have to x the connection and then re-connect.. Except that:
2) if i come back to issh from a fresh start, it might crash on
connecting or be completely unreaponsive to my clicking on a server.
3) issh sometimes crashes if i press the delete key down for a few
seconds to erase a line. I have had this happen to me on cursor up
repeat, pageup repeat, pagedown repeat.
4) issh might not want to show the circular interface that allows for
up down pgup pgdn etc. This either happens on the first connect or
when returning to issh from another app, or when resuming from
standbymode. Its a major gripe..
5) issh crashes sometimes if i simply type a longish message on irssi.
Issh dies on typing. Bummer.
6) sometimes issh doesnt even want to tell me that im no longer
connected, instead just takes my writing and it goes to
/dev/null.

I know that on the eve of ios4 that circular interface thing didnt
work at all, and its way better now, but there is still conaiderable
room for improvement. Love the app otherwise.

Also, i dont see issh anywhere in settings->notifications. Or how to
disable the default sound it plays.

I hope there is something that can be done about these and its not
just a user error..

I believe the current cover request only works for local images.

You need to request the cover art specifically, using the "<playerID> status - 1" command, and sometimes create the URL. The preceding status command will request the status of the player along with one song, starting with the current song. You append the tags for the information you are requesting. For example, I generally request tags:pgsaeluKNr. You can look up each in the documentation (look at songinfo) but the one you want is K, which is "artwork_url" and is only returned if it is available.

Therefore, at a minimum, you need:

<playerID> status - 1 tags:K

An abstraction of my code to generate the current song artwork after requesting and parsing the return from the server looks like this:

If (artwork_url) {

If (find("slacker.com") in artwork_url){

CoverURL = artwork_url + "?.jpg"

}

Else if (find("plugins/") in artwork_url){

CoverURL = "http://<serverIP:port>/" + artwork_url

}

Else if (find("/music") in artwork_url){

CoverURL = "http://<serverIP:port>/music/" + CurrentTrackID + "/cover_100x100.png"

}

Else {

CoverURL = artwork_url

}

Else {

CoverURL = "http://<serverIP:port>/music/" + CurrentTrackID + "/cover_100x100.png"

}

The "slacker.com" hack is necessary for Crestron, which need the image name to end in a recognizable extension.

The "plugins/" hack is for certain plugins, where the artwork_url refers to an internal plugin location but isn't a fully formed URL.

The "/music" hack I really can't remember but there must be certain times that the server is returning an internal address as the artwork_url. I seem to have recreated the CoverURL anyway, I believe so that I could control the size of the image. The size above is 100x100 pixels, but in reality that is an option set in my module.

The default if there is no artwork_url requires that you know the current trackID, which is always returned by the status query as something following "id%3A". Note that you can just use the "cover.png" or "cover.jpg" but if you want the server will generate a specific size by using the "cover_AxA.jpg" form, where A is a number of pixels. I think it works for all local images.

That should help? Let me know if you have any other questions.

Maybe you guys can offer some advice.

For this install the user will be mostly using internet radio or a
subscription radio service (e.g. Pandora, Last.fm)
I see in the help doc that there is a url that will return the artwork
of the currently playing song for the player like:
http://127.0.0.1:9000/music/current/?player=<playerid>
This works great when playing content that is stored locally, however,
it doesn't seem to update when using Pandora or another subscription
service. Any ideas?

Running latest issh on iphone 4:

- Tried to create a new config. Tapped the "use DSA key" switch. App
crashed. Repeated several times, same result. Finally, it stopped
crashing. Have no idea why it finally started to work.

- After creating a new configuration, the new host's status light was
grey. Clicking on the host to login caused app to freeze. Exited app
and re-entered. Still frozen, with the PIN keyboard dispayed. After
several more attempts, got back into app, and the new host started
working correctly.

Widgets

0 comments 9:16 AM Posted by osama algendy

Hi guys,

I'm probably the newbie here - not in any way familiar with the
programming of home automation remotes - but I'm taking the challenge.

My query is - can I have a widget (e.g. weather) in command fusion for
my remote? If so, how would I go about implementing it?

I am a complete beginner, so if someone could guide me step by step,
that would be great!

Many Thanks

The EOM field is only needed when parsing feedback. It has no affect
on outgoing messages.
