PnP III v3.50: Enhance the standard OS - DOWNLOAD HERE!

[Leonardo]

Yes it is!!!
I used for installation of the OS the Kingston DataTraveler 2GB, and the same I tryed to use to restore the default image (I want to get the old default icons), no way to let it boot!!! Anyway now the original rom is up and running

Hello:
I set up some proxy server in the network setting, but after that some icon such as shutdown and the app in the flash are disappeared,
can I have those back?
thanks

Have you tried rebooting? It sounds like the webserver has stopped working.

Offbeatdave - is it possible to program scheduled jobs via cron in PnPIII ?

My kitchen Joggler (PnPIII) sometimes loses its ethernet connection overnight.
It is connected via Powerline adaptors to BT Homehub router to SqPOS/LMS Joggler and ethernet connected HDD.
Difficult to identify which link in the chain above is going to sleep....(although suspect Powerlines or router)
Can only reconnect by rebooting router and/or Powerlines.

Have been reading elsewhere on forum about keeping connections alive by scheduling the copying of a minor text file as follows:

"I made a small text file called .stayalive (98 bytes) in the root directory of the HD. I then made a cron job that runs once a minute and touches, then copies this file to a new file called .stayinalive. That's it! Specifically, here's the line from /etc/crontab:

* * * * * root touch /mnt/media/.stayalive; cp /mnt/media/.stayalive /mnt/media/.stayinalive"

Is this possible in PnPIII ?
If so which files do I need to amend and what is their location?
Thought if I schedule the kitchen joggler to do this it will then keep everything alive
Have also found LMS extremely slow to identify new music added to HDD - do you think keeping everything awake might help remedy this too?

Many thanks and happy new year! - Fishy.

Hello guys, I was able to get (I hope) all the icons of the original O2 rom... if someone wants, here the link to get them all:

Nice one! Thanks!

You lost me at cron! Sorry, out of my area of expertise!

Someone more linuxy than me might be able to answer though.

Hello Fishy, I'm looking inside my Joggler right now (not yet PnP III I'm still on basic OpenPeak), it seems there's no cron daemon, so by default you cannot use it. It should not be a problem to port it or create a script by yourself. For example you can create a "while true" script in background. I know it's a little dirty thing to do but better than nothing!

[Leonardo]

Nice one! Thanks!

u'r welcome
btw, is there any Linux program that allows me to edit the swg icon files? GIMP is not able to open it, I can only see them with Gnash SWF Viewer, but no way to edit..

I am hoping my issue is easily resolved. I use my jogglers for squeeze play mainly buy I have noticed with the new open peak and 3.101 is that they keep losing icons. Its very weird issue. When the joggler is playing music in squeeze the joggler drops to open peak and half the icons are gone but the music still plays. When you select squeeze again then it re-boots , interrupts the music briefly and carries on.

Anyone experience this.

Also I had the USB issue people are mentioning, one version they work the next they don't. I use sandisk pens now and have no problems

No cron in Native OS or PnPIII, I'm afraid. You do have access to a clock and the date command, if you're feeling scripty.

Hello I did a little tip for launch different webpages from the dashboard using operamobile and the start script.

I modified the "start" wrapper of Opera replacing the line:

/openpeak/gui/apps/operamobile/operamobile -geometry 800x480 -mem 256M
with
/openpeak/gui/apps/operamobile/operamobile -geometry 800x480 -mem 256M

(for cleaning up my FS I preferred to move the applications all together using only one applications.xml, in the case of PnPIII the change should be:
/media/gforums/apps/operamobile/operamobile -fullscreen -mem 256M
with
/media/gforums/apps/operamobile/operamobile -fullscreen -mem 256M $1)

(the switch -url is not needed)

Doing this we don't need to use the webserver but we can pass the URL we want, directly in the applications.xml like:

<app static="1" id="router" loc="/openpeak/gui/apps/operamobile/" ext="1" standalone="1" app="/openpeak/gui/apps/operamobile/start 192.168.1.1" title="Router" icon="icon.swf"/>

(Also here the path is not the same of yours).

The only problem I found doing this is the "name" of the application is always "Opera Mobile", or whatever in languages.xml... we can keep it and change for example the icons for differente pages.

Interesting little tip there!

offbeatdave, roobarb!, Leonardo

Hey, you're confusing me with a guy who knows something about linux !!!
Don't forget everything I know about it I learnt from this forum.

Obviously keen to learn but would be grateful for more pointers or any other suggestions about how to keep my PnPIII Joggler alive.

Thanks

That's at least two of us in this gang then!

Fishy don't worry, if you need info in Linux I think I can help you! (I'm newbie with Joggler but at the end it's alway Linux )
Tell me what you need and I can try to create a script!

I shutdown it everyday, seems the proxy server have blocked something,
does all these flash apps running from internet server? not local?
actually I only need the usb sound switch , restart and shutdown option,
can I install it on local disk?
thanks

Thanks for very kind offer.

Basically I'm trying to keep my system alive because my Kitchen Joggler (PnPIII) sometimes loses connectivity (see earlier post 04/01/13 4.47pm).
Everything is ethernet via powerline adaptors with a second SqPOS/LMS Joggler accessing an ethernet connected NAS which stores the music.
Googling the problem suggested a simple repetitive file copy job on the NAS instructed by the Kitchen Joggler would keep all links in the chain awake.
The post referred to "cron" to achieve this; however absence of cron on PnPIII is now a stumbling block.
So would be very grateful if you could tell me how to install cron (is that easy?) or how to write a script, etc to run in background and perform the same task; or can you could suggest anything else to achieve the same objective, (ie keep the system awake).

I've picked up some knowledge of putty, WinSCP, etc in the 6 months or so since I joined the Joggler/Squeezeplay community but prior to that had no knowledge of linux or any of the other stuff discussed here.
I'm very keen to learn but simple instructions would be required !!!

Thanks.

I have two jogglers with pnp 3 installed and i have the impression that i am using only 50% of there abilities. I am reading in the formus about LMS, but i ahave no idea what this is and how i can set it up.I also have NAS server in my house. Anyone can help explain?

[JogglingAlong]

My PNP III modded Jogller is running great and everthing appears to be working except the Logitech Media Server refuses to start.I can log in to the webserver page on the Joggler but the LMS page does not come up.Also there is no local LMS avaliable in Squeezeplay either. I have tried to restart LMS from the SWF Launcher but it does not appear to do anything.Is there a command I can issue via SSH to either force start the server or confirm that is or is not running? Or is my install corrupted..

Thanks..
