I’ve been working on this new project since last week. Things are coming along, and hopefully I will be able to port it to BlackBerry 10 too.

MeeGo - N9

Maemo 5 - N900

I’ll try to release a beta version of this next week!

Fix for Failed to upload package: Failure on QtCreator

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:32:52 +0000

Just got hit by this problem, whenever I tried to deploy my application:

 11:06:04: Package created.
11:06:04: Installing package to sysroot ...
Package 'untitled' installed.
11:06:04: Preparing SFTP connection...
11:06:04: Starting upload...
11:06:04: Failed to upload package: Failure
11:06:04: Deploy step failed.
Error while building project untitled (target: Harmattan)
When executing build step 'Deploy Debian package via SFTP upload'

And a notification warning about the little remaining data storage appeared on the device, which I wrongly ignored at first. The problem occurs because QtCreator tries to copy the debian packate to /tmp on the device, N9 for me, and it fails if the space is full. I managed to fill my /tmp partition (which is just 4Mb btw..) by testing some big application. Solution is, ssh to your device, check if you /tmp is full (df -h) and delete any .deb file left there by QtCreator.

XChat 2.8 on MeeGo

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 21:24:50 +0000

This is a short post to show how I got XChat 2.8.8 on MeeGo.

You will need to download the SRC.RPM file from http://xchat.org/files/binary/rpm/

wget http://xchat.org/files/binary/rpm/xchat-2.8.8-0.fc13.src.rpm sudo zypper in rpm-build perl-ExtUtils-Embed tcl-devel openssl-devel libtool libsexy-devel gettext bison gtk2-devel glib2-devel GConf2-devel rpmbuild –rebuild xchat-2.8.8-0.fc13.src.rpm cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/ sudo rpm –install xchat-2.8.8-0.i386.rpm

Now a new entry should appear on the Internet category for XChat.

Nseries Nokia N810

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:22:25 +0000

I’ve already got the N810, so far I’ve got to say that it’s an awesome device, it’s way smaller than I thought it would be. I had to flash the N810 using the lastest firmware in order to install some applications such as Skype. I was a bit scared of doing it because I had some issues last time I flashed my cell phone, a Sony Ericcson W810i, I fuxored it although I was using Sony’s Official tool to update it, I was unable to use it for a weeks, the time it took me to do read about flashing with some 3rd party tools.
