My phone Explorer Linux Installation script!

[s0l1dsnak3123]

OK I FINALLY got round to sending a reply - I have been very busy recently, and I'm sorry I couldn't reply earlier.

Guest: Could you please delete ~/.wine and start again, see if that makes a difference. Sorry I didn't post the link - but I was in a hurry to get out the house at the time. If the problem persists, turn on your phone and bluetooth dongle (unless you have a laptop) then do the following:

Code: Alles auswählen

Start the bluetooth-services:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start


Then you have search for your mobile phone. For that you should turn of bluetooth at every other device, if there are any. Turn it on on your cell phone and make it visible. Then type the command:
Code:
# hcitool scan

This command returns a hex-adress which should displace the "00:11:22:33:44:55" in the next command.
Code:
# rfcomm bind 0 00:11:22:33:44:55

Tell me what happens

chrigu57: Can you make sure either COM1, COM2, or COM0 are listed in the "Com Port:" textbox In the connection section of the options? Also check if it works better with the stable connection button checked.

p.s Progress with the script is slow at the moment, but things will hopefully get better soon

Hi, thanks for the response

I can't do the rfcomm command, it is denied

But I have reinstalled it and now I get

COM2 could not be opened
Systemerror: 31 [general failure]

Have a look in the /dev - folder. Is there a file called rfcomm* ? (* = a number)

Thanks for the script I've already intalled MPE in my PC and wqorks fine.... well almost fine.

When I try to connect my phone, after change COM0 to COM1 (like the script says) and clic the refresh button, then appears me the progress bar, so, when the bar it's at half (so so..) show me a dialog that says that my phone couldn't be identified so... what can I do?

Anyway... I also have MPE in my XP partition... and works very well!!!!

OS: Ubuntu 8.04
Phone: W600i
Connectiontype: USB
scriptversion: 2.5

Did you activate "Stable connection" in the options?

Hello!

I just tried to install the mpe by myphoneinstaller3.2 skrip. with commanline execution i noticed, that the skript was not allowed to do this:

/myphoneinstaller3.2.sh: line 431: cd: /root/.wine/dosdevices/: No such file or directory

i tired to run the skript with root and my personal system user. no succes.
what am i doing wrong?

best regrards,

Defrian

DO NOT RUN wine-apps as root!!! Every user has its own .wine-directory and so there will be a lot of problems. Try to run it as normal user.

Funktioniert das Skript auch wenn man in das zip-file die aktuelle Version vom MPE kopiert? oder wurde in MPE etwas geändert, wodurch neuere Versionen nicht mehr in wine laufen?

[weinbi]

Die Version, die der Installer verwendet, wurde speziell präpariert - wie genau weiß nur FJ.
ABER ab der Version 1.7.0 kann das ganz normale Setup verwendet werden! Lediglich die VB6-Runtime muss installiert werden, dann sollte es kein Problem mehr darstellen; Allerdings funktioniert MPE auf Linux-Distris weiterhin nur mit der stabilen Verbindung.

[Gast]

sehr interessant!
werd es demnächst ausprobieren!
Danke für den Hinweis.

I had the same problem last night when trying to run the script (no prior installation of MyPhoneExplorer on my Ubuntu 9.10 setup). I still haven't got to the bottom of this yet but what I discovered was the following:

1) The script hadn't installed MyPhoneExplorer (not sure why not), all I had in the username/.wine/drive_c/MyPhoneExplorer folder was an icon file and a launch script file

2) So I tried to install MyPhoneExplorer through Wine (not a good idea as I know it will overwrite DLL's). By doing this however I managed to get to the point where MPE would fire up and setting to COM2 it started to SYNC with my phone over Bluetooth. Problem was after it got past the Calendar/Tasks sync it crashed (dll problem?). So at least it was communicating with the phone!!!!

3) Each time I then started MPE it then crashed at the same point with a Wine error.

4) Tried un-installing MPE through Wine - but then complained that MPE was already running (even after a system reboot!!!). So something desperately wrong.

5) Manually deleted the MPE folder, registry entries etc. Ran the MyPhoneInstaller3.2.sh -u option to uninstall everything

6) Tried installing MPE first through Wine but pointing to the drive_c/MyPhoneExplorer/MyPhoneExplorer folder so the MPInstaller script should find it then running the MyPhoneInstaller.sh - but still got complaints (that came up and disappeared too quick to read properly).

So I'm back to a "clean" state with MyPhoneExplorer NOT installed and no script run. Thinking about how best to proceed as I would really like this up and running.

Next step is to run logging on the script I suppose to see where it's breaking down.

What I don't understand is why the MyPhoneInstaller.sh does not seem to recognise the lack of MPE on my Ubuntu setup and go ahead and install it . . . .

Any help/pointers/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Download the "normal" setup of MPE and run

Code: Alles auswählen

wine MyPhoneExplorer_Setup_1.7.5.exe

Follow the setup and try if it works. For the port please have a look at the HowTo.
