Description:


Many thanks to the testers for the help. K-Blueproximity is ready to upload.
The result: about the 90 % of the mobile phones works well with this application.

Blueproximity is a security application. It can lock your computer if you leave your room,
and can unlock it if you come back.
Alternatively, you can also define other "proximity" actions. (See the third picture!)
You only need a configured bluetooth device and a compatible mobile phone.

K-Blueproximity is a KDE frontend to the original Blueproximity application with a gtk frontend by Lars Friedrichs.

I think, you will not have problems on debian based systems as the dependecies are correct.

If you have the original gnome version of Blueproximity, uninstall it before!
(If you need the GTK version, install the enclosed blueproximity-gtk package!
It also works on debian ETCH, an egg.statusicon support module was added to the gtk based version.)
For KDE, install only the blueproximity and blueproximity-kde packages!

On non-debian based systems, convert the blueproximity packages to rpm/tgz format, e.g.:
alien --scripts blueproximity_version_all.deb

Dependencies for the KDE frontend: package bluez-utils, PyQt/PyKDE (python-qt3, python-kde3), ConfigObj (python-configobj) and Bluetooth (python-bluez or pybluez) extensions for python.

On my SuSE 10.2, the following packages are installed as dependencies:

bluez-libs 3.7-14
bluez-utils 3.7-29
gnome-bluetooth 0.8.0-26
kdebluetooth 0.99svn576598-38
libbtctl 0.8.0-26
(yast2-bluetooth 2.14.0-33)
pybluez 0.9.2-47, I enclosed the source for this package.

Compile it with the command rpmbuild --rebuild pybluez-0.9.2-47.src.rpm,
then install the package /usr/src/packages/RPMS/pybluez-0.9.2-47.i586.rpm!

You also need to download the package python-configobj from the packman site (http://packman.links2linux.de). I used the python-configobj-4.4.0-0.pm.1.i586.rpm (you can find it enclosed).

OpenSuSE 10.3:
Similarly, but python-configobj must be compiled from the source:
http://packman.links2linux.de/downloadsource/23295/python-configobj-4.4.0-0.pm.1.src.rpm
and you need not compile pybluez. It is on the installation DVD.

Start K-Blueproximity from the KDE menu, and read the "KDE specific issues" section from the Help first!

Hmm, this is probably the best example I've seen of the problem with linux. Can't beleive you went to the trouble of re coding the GUI just to match KDE! Nice work though, if I used KDE Im sure Id be happy :)

sheesh, you re-do it in QT and they complain about re-inventing the wheel...you don't, and they complain how "Linux has no consistent look and feel" from GTK apps in KDE/QT apps in GNOME.

Kinda makes you pine for Microsoft's "this is what you will use and this is what your apps will look like, have a nice day" philosophy, huh? :P

One point is that the gtk app just can handle gnome-screensaver not kscreensaver

Hi,

Why should it not handle kde-screensaver? Actually it does and you may also modify the commands if they don't work for you.

If you have problems using it with kde please report them to me and/or use trisz's version for KDE.

Bye
Lars Friedrichs

i've tested your applications with positive feedback, from dpkg-tools-fe to PyWireless
wich is the main difference between this app and the new kbluetooth with bluelock inside?
tnx for answer

I only know this application:

"Bluelock is a small bash-scipt. Bluelock is written to check if a bluetooth device of you is available, if it's not it will lock your computer. So the idea is that if you walk away from your computer and you forget often to lock it, this script will do. But on the other hand if you stay near your computer, it won't lock, because you are close to him :)

To start it, you need to run the command:

bluelockd"

It cannot be configured at all.

Has the new KBluetoothD got also this feature?
I don't know it.

Could you send me a screenshot?

You need a linux compatible bluetooth device and a compatible mobile phone with bluetooth feature.

1. The GTK frontend cannot be integrated into KDE. The systemtray policy is different.
2. The KScreenSaver works completely differently then the gnome-screensaver.
3. The GTK version is compatible only with unstable GTK versions. It does not work on debian ETCH.
4. The documentation with the instructions will be different. How can you use a gnome systemtray applet on KDE to setup your devices?
5. I am not an expert in GTK programming, but I understand KDE. I think, Lars Friedrichs is not an expert in QT/KDE programming, but he is an expert in Gnome
6. The fromtend is only a small part of the application. The API is the same for the two versions.

well said :-)
Although I might change some bits in my frontend to
a) make it KDE-friendlier (it will always stay a GNOMEized GTK+ based version)
b) may add support for stable pyGTK versions
once I have more time left. I'm doing my semester's test atm and my wife's expecting this month so I am quite busy...

Bye

Convert it to tar.gz with alien.
It does not contain any architecture/distribution specific part. You need not compile anything.
You may link the .desktop file if the K-menu fails to display Blueproximity.

 distance problems

I've installed v1.2.2-2 on OpenSuSE 10.2. It works...for the most part.

The KDE part doesn't (throws some kind of python error) but the GTK frontend does. However, for some reason, I'm getting negative distances from my device. As a result I've had to set the lock distance to 2 in order for it to lock when I'm about 15 ft away. I've set the unlock distance to 1 and it unlocks about 12 feet out.

Is there a way to fix this or no?

Bluetooth is not a distance measuring device. The displayed value depends on your devices.
You mean: the KDE frontend does not work.
Try to start from command line:
python /usr/share/blueproximity/kproximity.py

Send me the output.

Perhaps, however, on a system running OpenSuSE 10.3 with a Kensington BT USB
adapter, it works perfectly. That package is blueproximity-1.2-1.2.noarch.rpm.
I've installed the package downloaded from KDE-Apps.org and ran `alien --scripts
-r` against the .deb packages to give me blueproximity-1.2-2.2.noarch.rpm. This
one gives me distance problems using the same adapter. Why would one version on
one system give me the distance problems while the other version on another
system not?

Unfortunately, for SuSE 10.2 there is not up-to-date pybluez. I think, you compiled from the enclosed src.rpm. You may try to compile from the src.rpm of SuSE 10.3.

The following error is a bug on SuSE:
"TypeError: 'dictproxy' object does not support item assignment"
Item assignment is a basic feature of python dictionaries. SuSE may use tuple, but it is a bug. The __dict__ is a dictionary not a tuple.
I try to find out another solution. The problem is only the translation stuff...
You need not it as:
langs: ['en_US', 'en'].

You can delete the line 152
Kproximity_Ui.__dict__["_Kproximity_Ui__tr"]=trans
in the file
/usr/share/blueproximity/kproximity.py.
(Translation will be disabled for the GUI.)

I've recently upgraded to openSuSE 10.3 and installed your app again with no problems. It runs but I'm unable to find my phone anymore. However, the adapter continuously sends out pairing requests. Any idea how I can turn this off. It seems to be something that pops up only after I install blueproximity after uninstalling it.

You can ignore the previous comment about the constant pairing requests. Turns out to have been a process that I didn't die.

I now have kproximity.py running relatively smoothly. However, I do have one concern. I've selected kscreensaver as my screensaver of choice but it doesn't fire off. The key goes red and the status indicates that my phone is "gone" but still, no screen locking. Do I have to configure it in some special way that isn't the same as gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver?

Ok, you can ignore that last one too. I guess I need to have xscreensaver running in order for KScreensaver to work.

I'm all good. I promise I'm not insane
