cesar
:
its the prism extension. I just need someone to follow some steps and tell me if anything doesn't work
[2:14p]
mmullin
:
ok... I am at your disposal
[2:15p]
cesar
:
awesome. I uploaded the extension to matrix : http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~cdolivei/prism-ext.xpi
[2:16p] cesar:
you may have to save to disk and open it from firefox. Matrix doesn't handle .xpi files properly
[2:16p]
mmullin
:
you want me to use ff trunk or ff2?
[2:16p]
cesar
:
ff trunk, sorry
[2:17p]
mmullin
:
ok, installed nicely
[2:17p]
cesar
:
nice
[2:17p]
mmullin
:
next?
[2:18p]
cesar
:
I put quick test procedure on pastebin : http://pastebin.mozilla.org/235149
[2:18p] cesar:
just runs through the funcitonality
[2:18p] cesar:
let me know if anything is unclear or if something isn't working quite right
[2:19p]
mmullin
:
step 4 has 1 error
[2:19p]
cesar
:
what's the error?
[2:19p]
mmullin
:
I cannot open both gmail and gcal at the same time
[2:20p] mmullin:
"Close Prism" "A copy of Prism is already open. Only one copy of Prism can be open at a time."
[2:20p]
cesar
:
ah. Yeah, I got that error message before on Linux. Doesn't happen on Windows. What happens if you wait a few seconds before trying to open up gcalendar?
[2:21p]
mmullin
:
want me to try again?
[2:21p]
cesar
:
yes
[2:21p] cesar:
how recent is trunk btw?
[2:22p]
mmullin
:
actually I just made a fresh build and need to restart
[2:22p]
cesar
:
ah :)
[2:24p]
mmullin
:
I cannot open both webapp(s) at the same time cesar
[2:25p]
cesar
:
ok. Thanks. I'll make a note of it. Can you continue with the rest?
[2:25p]
mmullin
:
ok, moving on
[2:25p] mmullin:
how do I install gcalendar to my doc?
[2:25p]
cesar
:
on the bottom right of the prism app, there should be a gear image
[2:26p]
mmullin
:
ok
[2:28p] mmullin:
having trouble launching this way
[2:28p]
cesar
:
what's up?
[2:28p]
mmullin
:
well, I run the applicaiton, but nothing happens
[2:28p] mmullin:
this is both with minefield running, and minefield closed
[2:29p]
cesar
:
is this on the doc?
[2:29p] cesar:
s/doc/dock/
[2:29p]
mmullin
:
well the dock is a sort of 'alias' system
[2:29p] mmullin:
its like a shortcut to your 'start menu'
[2:29p] mmullin:
from my "application folder"
[2:29p] mmullin:
and I am running from my application folder
[2:30p] mmullin:
shall I move on to step 7?
[2:30p]
cesar
:
can you tell what command its trying to run when you click on the 'shortcut' (not sure of what to call it)
[2:31p]
mmullin
:
um.... gcal.app is the only info I have that way (thats what I saved it as).... I can try running one of the internals of the .app from within
[2:31p] mmullin:
perhaps I should save it as gcal.webapp
[2:32p]
cesar
:
hmm
[2:32p] cesar:
are .app files directories?
[2:32p]
mmullin
:
which I cant... when I name it gcal.webapp, it is stored as gcal.webapp.app (within my application folder)
[2:33p]
cesar
:
heh
[2:33p]
mmullin
:
yes .app files are directories
[2:33p] mmullin:
I'll try installing to the desktop rather than app folder
[2:34p] mmullin:
ok same, "non-result"
[2:34p] mmullin:
want me to try running from command line?
[2:34p]
cesar
:
that ain't good
[2:34p] cesar:
I'm just wondering what command it is running
[2:34p]
mmullin
:
I cant tell you by just clicking... I have to look in the .app file
[2:34p]
cesar
:
or trying to rather
[2:35p]
mmullin
:
ok, interesting error message from command line
[2:35p]
cesar
:
ooh
[2:35p] cesar:
do tell
[2:35p]
mmullin
:
iSchool:MacOS coren$ ./gcal
[2:35p] mmullin:
Couldn't read application.iniiSchool:MacOS coren$
[2:36p]
cesar
:
ok. That gives me a hint
[2:36p]
mmullin
:
iSchool:MacOS coren$ ./gcal
[2:36p] mmullin:
Couldn't read application.iniiSchool:MacOS coren$ ls
[2:36p] mmullin:
gcal
[2:36p] mmullin:
iSchool:MacOS coren$ ls -a
[2:36p] mmullin:
. .. gcal
[2:36p] mmullin:
iSchool:MacOS coren$ pwd
[2:36p] mmullin:
uggg, let me pastebin that last message
[2:37p] mmullin:
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/235152
[2:37p]
cesar
:
can you display the contents of gcal (I don't think its an executable)
[2:38p]
mmullin
:
its a script?
[2:38p]
cesar
:
I believe so
[2:38p]
mmullin
:
added to pastebin 235152
[2:39p]
cesar
:
hmm, not seeing it
[2:39p] cesar:
235153
[2:39p]
mmullin
:
steps http://pastebin.mozilla.org/235153
[2:39p]
• mmullin scratches head and realize he doesn't really understand pastebin
[2:40p]
• mmullin appologises
[2:40p]
cesar
:
that's ok
[2:40p] cesar:
after -app, there is a path. Does that path exist (or at what point does it stop existing?)
[2:40p]
mmullin
:
checking
[2:41p] mmullin:
yes... the path && the file application.ini exist
[2:42p]
cesar
:
is the path to firefox correct as well?
[2:43p]
mmullin
:
I believe so... double checking
[2:43p] mmullin:
unless there is a syntax error
[2:43p] mmullin:
there is no syntax error... the path to firefox is correct
[2:43p]
cesar
:
its strange that it says it cannot read application.ini even when it exists
[2:44p]
mmullin
:
I wonder if I have /bin/sh though
[2:44p] mmullin:
yes /bin/sh exists
[2:46p]
cesar
:
what happens if you put single quotes around the path to application.ini, does that change anything?
[2:47p]
mmullin
:
I ran from the command line
[2:47p] mmullin:
and yes, the quotes make a difference (a working difference)
[2:47p] mmullin:
testing from within the script
[2:47p]
cesar
:
ooooh
[2:48p]
mmullin
:
success all around
[2:49p]
cesar
:
awesome
[2:49p]
mmullin
:
ok moving on to step 7
[2:49p]
cesar
:
yep. You can skip step 11 since it won't work. But please verify that it does exist
[2:52p]
mmullin
:
same problem/solution with Project Gutenberg.app
[2:52p]
cesar
:
yeah. I expect that since you had the problem with gcal as well
[2:52p]
mmullin
:
step 11... I cannot run Project Gutenberg.app and gcal.app at the same time
[2:52p] mmullin:
"only one copy of prism... blah blah blah"
[2:53p]
cesar
:
lol. ok. Thanks a lot mike. I really appreciate the time you spent to help me fix this :)
[2:53p]
mmullin
:
np... glad to be of service
[2:53p] mmullin:
and now I have a gutenberg app:)
[2:54p] mmullin:
mind if I post our conversation to get me some class credit?
[2:54p]
cesar
:
absolutely. Go right ahead
