I'm getting a flashing (shows then disappears) matching the interval set here:

glib.timeout_add(500, self.updateState)

I'm getting

(proximity.py:3367389): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 13:42:33.029: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed

at the same time.

Adding some tracing to updateState - the alert for gdk is not happening until a delay AFTER the updateState runs, but that may be due to event loop handling.

Any ideas?

I ran pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

pip3 install -t requirements.txt ERROR: Target path exists but is not a directory, will not continue.
Any ideas?

Please make a .deb file to install on most popular systems.

when I start blueproximity (version 1.3.3) the app load correctly, install in task bar ( I have installed snixembed from https://git.sr.ht/~steef/snixembed for some other use and it works well for the taskbar)

but then, as soon as I activate the bluetooth, there is a loop of connect/disconnect of my phone (samsung).
So I got constant notifications, every seconds, of connect, then disconnect.
This is very annoying, and it populate the screen of notifications.
Moreover, it do not list my devices in the know or discovered devices.

I have then removed my device from the knows devices, so it not connect/disconnect loop, but blueproximity still not able to discover the device. even if I put the MAC address on the "MAC address" field
If I re-associate my device with my computer Blueproximity can then discover it, but it start looping again in a connect/disconnect state.

So in that state I can not use Blueproximity.

I'm trying to use your BlueProximity fork on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME Shell (which has the AppIndicator / KStatusNotifier extension installed), but the GUI only runs the first time. Subsequent runs don't show the BlueProximity GUI and since there's also no tray icon showing up, it can't be used properly.

OS: Fedora 33 Workstation, python 3.9.1

Step to reproduce:

1. Run /usr/bin/python3.9 proximity.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alexgluck/files/git_repos/private/blueproximity/proximity.py", line 434, in dlgNewDo_clicked
    newconfig = self.wTree.get_widget("entryNewName").get_text()
AttributeError: 'Builder' object has no attribute 'get_widget'

OS: Fedora 33 Workstation, python 3.9.1

Step to reproduce:

1. Run /usr/bin/python3.9 proximity.py
2. Press "Create" button
3. Write "asdasdasd"
4. Press "Create" button in dialog form

Installation and requirements for fedora 33:

sudo dnf install -y bluez-libs-devel python3-gobject python3-gobject-base xapps python3-xapp python3-bluez python3-configobj
git clone $BLUEPROXIMITY_REPO folder ; cd folder ; /usr/bin/python3 proximity.py

Hi @tiktaalik-dev,

Super silly issue to have, but I can't work it out.

• "python3 proximity.py" runs but does not launch a window to use the application.....

Output from terminal:-
" Using config file 'standard.conf'.
<_io.TextIOWrapper name='/home/gareth/blueproximity.log' mode='a' encoding='UTF-8'>"

Thanks in advance

I'm using kali last -v (2022.1) with gnome desktop environment

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there a way to use blueproximity to unlock my screen after the computer wakes from standby? It seems that the unlock isn't working if my phone is already present when the computer wakes from standby. However, if I briefly leave and return with my phone, then the screen gets unlocked.

So it seems as if the program is still working, however, for some reason the unlock command isn't issued when the phone is first detected.

I try amazfit bip and xiaomi mi band (1,2,3) in all cases i can't select this devices for lock screen.
May be that can help for add support fit trackers.

P.S. May be i can help with rpm and russian translation (later).

Hi,

I am using your updated version since September 2021 on my ubuntu 20.04 and it worked quite good.
Now i have switched to fedora 35, and installed the app with version 1.3.3, copied the configuration from the previous installation and the app will not work the same way as on the previous installation.

[sp@spyros-thinkpad ~]$ python --version
Python 3.10.1

The distance bar is not changing, stuck at 255 (max left). Icon is "disconnected".

Steps that I did:

1. Pair the phone
2. Open first time the application
3. Edit the config file with the settings from the previous working OS
4. restart application

After quite a while of testing, switching channels, testing the scan mode, nothing worked. I even went on the debug mode to see if there was a problem on the python script, but I do not have the time to decypher the code and find the bug.

I will post my config file so you can have a look. I have removed the last 4 characters from my phones mac address.

device_mac = D0:9C:7A:D5:XX:XX
device_channel = 12
lock_distance = 8
lock_duration = 12
unlock_distance = 6
unlock_duration = 3
lock_command = 'xdg-screensaver lock && sleep 1 && xset dpms force off && pb push -d 1 "Screen locked at $(date +%H:%M:%S) on $(date +%d/%m/%Y)"'
unlock_command = pb push -d 1 "Screen unlocked at $(date +%H:%M:%S) on $(date +%m/%d/%Y)" && xdg-screensaver reset && xset dpms force on
proximity_command = xset dpms force on
proximity_interval = 89
buffer_size = 1
log_to_syslog = True
log_syslog_facility = local7
log_to_file = True
log_filelog_filename = /home/sp/blueproximity.log

The original blueproximity was not working when the phone screen is locked (OnePlus 5 and Linux Mint 19.3 ). When the phone screen locks, it's not able to determine the distance which locks the computer also. So I was not able to use it b'cos when I was working all of sudden the laptop gets locked. Is this fixed in this new version? Also any plans for supporting BLE devices like MiBand. It'll be a great value addition. I'm sure there are lot of takers for this.

Last question? How to install this in Linux Mint 20? Should I just copy the scripts and run?
