Qaiku as Mojito service on moblin

Posted on 2009-07-30 22:22:14 EEST.

Just started to add Qaiku as new Mojito service for Moblin:

I used kvm alpha2-20090311 image, and (unfortunately) haven't been surprised.

  • Had to install many (plenty of) dev(el) packages to start some work
  • Spent some time trying to find out how to install gconf, cause package is named Dbus-Gconf. Uh?
  • No apt-get! (yes, this is personal ;)

When I added Qaiku service, which is available in 'Web services' configuration, I started to wonder how could I start testing it before adding more code. The toolbar is available in Moblin beta release, but it's not in SDK image? Does it mean I should write code using SDK image, package it, install on other device with Moblin installed and test it at last?

So far I understood I should initialize another window manager, but mutter (no idea if it's the correct one) created two squares on my image screen - white and blue one.

Also it would be very nice if Mojito developers could add more authentication types support. You can use traditional username/password authentication for Qaiku but you can use an APIKey as well. I want Qaiku service to use APIKey, so had to define 'username' in Mojito's service, but this one as you see on screenshot is kind of confusing. I bet 99,99999% of users will type their username instead of their unique uuid.
