qonsole terminal as neo package

[rhizod]

Edit: An updated version is now available that fixes the issues with the app not running. (reload web page if you get file does not exist on download)

I've just repackaged the qonsole terminal as a neo package and put it up on my site:
http://www.dewmill.com/linuxphone.html

It is the same version that is available here in the forum downloads, but now userfriendly to install. If you got the neo-installer, just:
1) Download 2) Unzip 3) Upload jar file to phone 4) Click on jar to install 5) Click on qonsole in menu to run.

Oh, and the obligatory disclaimer: if you are not used to a root terminal you should probably be careful with this... Writing bad commands in a terminal may destroy things...

Great! Finally a native console app!!! Congratulations!

I've just installed your neo-package and qconsole.

qconsole seems to install ok. I can see the icon in at the phone and
/mmc/mmca1/.system/java/PlugCardDB is correctly modified.

When I click qonsole, nothing happends (And I have waited a long time!.

telneting to the phone, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH , and running from
bash ./main.lin at /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet20000/Files/NeoInstalled
qonsole runs ok!

Any idea why it doesn't run from the icon?

thanks!

PS: And other question,
I have setup a script to run qonsole, based on main.lin[listed below]

My question is: Does qonsole take any argument from the command line? I have tried qonsole -c ls or qonsole -e ls or qonsole -e bash2, but doesn't seems to work.

Thanks!

have you tapped startup.lin?

I have the same problem. After running from telnet it writes this:

# ./qonsole
./qonsole: error while loading shared libraries: libqte-mt-xscale-r.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But if I use main.lin, it works:

# bash ./main.lin
# getWallpaper()
attachToWallpaper

I have startup.lin running correctly. But when I use icon - screen only blink once and thats all

I think it is nice when we can install qonsole with neo and then automaticly make an icon to run it .. but the better instalation doesn't follow with better operation .. unlike when using qonsole with qonsole.lin, if we need to run qonsole, simply just tab qonsole.lin .. but when use neo qonsole .. we ve to tab startup.lin --> an icon .. i think this is not simple way ..

i know that bash2 better than /bin/bash .. its nice when include package with bash2 and its library .. like libncurse.5 ..

@ryzod
Are u compile qonsole by ur self or using compiled qonsole in this package ?

@ebenezum
From the message we know that u need some libraries that needed by qonsole to run ... to understand this problem, may be better if u try to download qonsole from download sections ... and read the instalation instructions ..

[rhizod]

Hmm... The needed libraries are be included in the installation. Seems the main.lin script that is suppsed to setup the LD_LIBRARY_PATH don't work correctly. Sorry about that; I will take a look at it as soon as I can. While waitng you have to go with matiu's workaround and launch main.lin through your own script. (Or use the old mpkg package available here in the downloads...). But I'd like to add that it indeed worked for me when I tested it :S.

@al750n
You are right about 'startup.lin' being a hassle, but 1) you only need to tap it *once* every phone bootup. Then all your apps work as they should. And I found myself doing a lot more clicks before, when all my apps was scattered around my SD and phone memory than now when they are in the menues...

Are u compile qonsole by ur self or using compiled qonsole in this package ?

No, as I say above this is not my work. I have just repackaged the binary distributed in this forums download section.

@matiu
I don't know if qconsole takes any arguments. But I know the original startup scripts didn't pass on any arguments; and neither does my main.lin.

[al750n]

Why don't u make script in your startup.lin as startup script for our OS(Linux) . I think this is possible .. but really until know i still didn't find it .. may be like rc.local or somethink else in Linux box ..

Libraries are not missing. Because when I use bash ./main.lin in qonsole folder it works perfectly. Problem is with icon aka "./qonsole" command. Im not programmer so sorry if i said something incorrectly

So:
1) Installation of neo-installer using linloader - OK
2) Restart phone than run startup.lin - OK
3) Installation of qonsole.jar - OK
4) Running Qonsole from icon - screen only blink and than nothing
5) Telneting to phone, going to the mmca1/.system/java....midlet20016/files/neoinstalled.. and running "./qonsole" - Error of missing library (my previous post)
6) same like 5) but running "bash ./main.lin" - Qonsole on my phone runs perfect.
