joffhi all, what can be a good weather app on sailfishOS ?10:10
joffMeeCast ?10:10
ViGeyes10:11
jofffrom chum or jolla store ?10:11
ViGeIf you want to enable it on the event view you need the eventview and daemon packages from chum10:16
joffokey, thanks a lot10:19
joffhow it's possible to delete all contact from the app ?10:21
joffi have patched a contact.vcf file to delete all "tel:" before the phone number10:21
joffVige : and the equivalent for nextcloud is quartermaster, but why the port 8291 is needed to connect ?10:35
ViGeas far as I know, quartermaster is a home assistant client, nothing to do with nextcloud. I don't know what port 8291 has to do with it.10:37
joffsorry, yes10:38
nephros_joff: delete all contacts from where?10:41
joffit's done, since contact app10:42
joffthis is good now, thanks a lot10:42
nephros_joff: there is a cli tool called contacts-tool. You run it like "devel-su -p contacts-tool collections"10:43
nephros_note the "devel-su -p", the -p is important.10:44
FireFly(what's the -p for?)13:03
nephros_FireFly: it means to switch the current user to privileged group, instead of becoming root.13:14
FireFlyaha13:15
FireFlythat's useful to know about13:15
nephros_This means the user gains access to files/firs protected by access for 'privileged' group, but still in the user's home.13:16
FireFlyright, a bit closer to "usual" sudo behaviour I think? I had a situation a while back where that would've been useful I think, so I'll keep it in mind for the future ^^13:16
FireFlyhm, maybe not closer to sudo behaviour.. not sure what I was thinking about then13:17
nephros_Well, it's similar but not the same. Plain devel-su is more or less equivalend to 'sudo su'.13:18
nephros_devel-su -p is something like 'sudo -g privileged'13:19
nephros_But I don't know sudo well because I don't use it unless I have to. (I think it's one of the most stupidly misused tools in the Linux world, and Ubuntu should apologize for popularizing it. But that's in part because I'm a comparatively old UNIX fart and like my classic `su`.)13:21
nephros_Keto: OK, the "run the reactor in a thread" method seems to work. Thanks for the heads-up (and the example I reused is actually https://docs.sailfishos.org/Develop/Apps/Tutorials/Creating_an_application_in_Python/ - just swap out slow_function with something that runs reactor.run())14:02
smyruForum these days feels like never ending brain storming session.17:22
nephros_smyru: Hehe it does, a bit.18:17
nephros_Some of that, I think, is because of the busy new moderators. What previously was a off-topic tangent in some thread now often gets moved to its own thread. So, more visibility.18:18
