I'm having the same problem. I put the zip in my home folder /home/joseph/ then I just right clicked and "extract here". Everything is extracted to /home/joseph/Droid2Desk_1.00-R70 but, it comes up with the same error. Is it not looking through the file structure correctly?

I'm also using Ubuntu 10.04

Edit: I got it to work. You have to extract it all directly to your home folder. It should be like this:

/home/USER/db

/home/USER/images

/home/USER/notifications

/home/USER/Droid2Desk.jar

Hopefully as your program matures we can just make a ~/.Droid2Desk folder to put it all in and make it a bit cleaner.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
New problem. I got the desktop app and the phone app to work. I stopped the phone app and entered a name and password to use. I then went back to the PC client and tried to connect. Now I only get this:

Could not establish a connection to the selected device. Ensure it has an active WiFi connection.

It definitely has a wifi connection, I even kept the screen on so I could be positive of it.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on my PC and I have a Nexus One with CM6 stable on it. I love the idea of this and would really like to see it work! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
That's how it works now. As long as images/db/notifications are subfolders of the directory the jar file resides in, you should be good to go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
After you stopped the service on the phone to enter your new name and password did you tap again to restart the service?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
I tried putting it in a /.Droid2Desk folder (I included all of the folders) and it just didn't work. It also didn't work in the generated folder after I just right clicked and hit extract here. For some reason it only works if they're just sitting in my home folder.

Yes, I did tap it to start again. I even tried a different password, I rebooted both devices... I'm not sure what's going on.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
If you can post up a LogCat, that would be great.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gbenj:
I still see the same issue i had before with losing connection when screen turns off...

To recap, can be reconnected from the desktop app, but disconnects soonafter.

works fine with screen on.

thanks for the ongoing development.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
and this is with the current build? I hope to have a new build out tomorrow with auto-reconnection so hopefully this becomes a non-issue.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DoomMuffins:
Not 100% sure, but I think it's draining my battery rather quickly, even when screen's off.

After I manually killed the services battery discharge slowed down a lot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TinninE:
100% sure,

When droi2desk is active, it drow down my battery fast.

I uninstall it yesterday, my battery is ok.

I wait until it will be fixed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Yeah, it's hard on the battery right now, that's why I made it so you can stop/start the service. When the service is running it broadcasts the phones presence every few seconds via WiFi. If you have it running and you aren't using it, it's still doing this. This is all things I'll be working out during development. In this Alpha, if you stop the service, you won't be using any extra battery.

edit: the WiFi lock I just implemented in the last few builds also adds to battery strain I'm sure. Again, this stuff will all get worked out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TinninE:
Why don't add this functionnality.

"Stop service when wifi isn't connected" ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Don't wanna sound harsh but dam man!! He's said it will get worked out!! This is a huge project, he needs to get it stable (regardless of batt drain) and then work on the battery part... Let's keep the thread focused on NEW bugs and such... Boots already knows it's draining battery!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TinninE:
Oops, don't be angry man :)

Let's wait and see
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adobrakic:
I'm on Mint 9, and I've done this correctly and I get the same notifications error.

I did this as well, still no dice. Not sure why.

p.s - yes, i did chmod +x on the .jar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
I'll install a copy of Mint on a VM later and try it out to see what happens.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Logcat didn't give much. The phone is broadcasting but, after I clicked connect on the PC software it only have this and it was slightly after so I'm not even sure if they're related but, I'm no developer. :)

D/Droid2Desk.DeviceBroadcaster( 2354): Device identification broadcast.
I/EventLogService( 258): Aggregate from 1284916830256 (log), 1284916830256 (data)

Edit: I tried it again with "open with" set to Sun Java 6 Runtime instead of OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime and the PC software didn't completely get stuck like it would. Before it would say it had a problem connecting and then just get stuck trying to connect. However, I ran logcat and tried to connect a couple times and got absolutely nothing. Somehow it is seeing my phone but isn't going to the right place to connect or something.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sr1ks:
Works brilliantly on my Stock Desire.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lukeatluke:
I get an error because communication.css if i remember correctly, running nonrooted desire with froyo and win7 x86....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Not sure if I understand what error you're receiving.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yuggyp:
Some issues to report...

Hi

Great idea is what I have to say first...

Next... I know this is just a BETA and am not complaining, am just reporting whats happening for me and my setup...

OK so I have Win 7 and I have a Motorola Milestone running 2.1

Unzipped the file and got the java client up and running

Installed the apk and thats all up and running

They can see each other, ie. I can connect to my phone and it syncs...

However I can't see anything in my SMS tab apart from "Home"

I can see the SD card and I can access it

If I check the files on my PC, none are being written to and no new files are being created, I assume this should be happening?

My thinking is there is some issue with permissions?

Anyhoo, let me know if I can do anything to help or if anyone can advise things to try to get it all working

Cheers

Guy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] civicvx94:
This looks amazing!

If it was able to connect over USB connection, instead of wifi, it would be perfect!

I cant wait to try it out, thank you :-D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kingpin003:
It can as long as you have adb on the pc. You should check out the wiki cause it gives the steps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McFroger3:
OK so I can ping my phone and it responds.

I do the telnet, and all I get is a blank screen in the cmd prompt.

And I still can not get the app to connect to the device.

Edit: Got it working with USB.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Do you see a progress bar at the bottom of the window during sync? Make sure the application has access to it's files and subdirectories.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
What was there error when you tried to connect via WiFi?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lukeatluke:
Maybe it really was doubtful....here you go :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Read back through the thread. That problem has been addressed. Make sure you extract the zip maintaining the folder structure.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McFroger3:
Same generic error I had gotten before.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kingpin003:
Been pinging for quite a while and it seems generally solid. I occasionally get a random lost packet, but never from the screen turning off. I guess that's a good sign, but it doesn't help the others who've had this problem.

Anyone else care to help? And maybe it should be noted that you're pinging the phone's IP address. You can find that at the bottom left in the phone app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Thanks for testing. This is what I need to know. Just how common these dropped packets are.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] constellanation:
out of boredom I spent a little more time cleaning up a few things on the icon that will probably never be. If any one else thinks they can take it and make it pretty feel free.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crz6662:
Might want to let folks know that you have to download apk file through your phone instead of your PC. Just a thought.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] piens:
Nice!

Just to let you know it works great on my (rooted) dutch HTC-Desire (Froyo 2.2), both WIFI and USB.

Can't wait to see the end result. Would be very nice if it could become something like Wifi Remote Access on Windows Mobile :D

!!! RESPECT !!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kingpin003:
Just a heads up that the desktop app expired and wants a new version. :(

Missing it already... I think I'm a fiend. Lol. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crz6662:
So that's the problem. Couldn't install desktop version on either XP or Vista. Any updates ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] meo:
Error

This Copy of Droid2Desk is expired. Please update to a newer version

?? and now ??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Sorry guys, expecting our first child in a few months and I had to get the nursery ready to go :D

Alpha/Beta builds expire after ten days. I hope to get this connect stuff sorted this weekend and a new build up then :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arthofer:
Hi there, its a great app, but i would like to see one little change in Settings

[ ] Run only when plugged in to AC Power

or

[ ] Run only if Wifi network = "abc"

cuz on my phone (HTC Magic) it drains the power pretty fast even if no client connected, so i got to stop the service everytime when i move away from my pc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Yeah it's a battery pig in the current state. I'll fix that, not to worry :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PhantomRampage:

tried opening the app in mac snow leopard and says this version is expired. upgrade to a newer one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nurlip:
bypass expiration?

how did you bypass the expiration date for that build? they are only supposed to last 15 days and the dev hasn't been working on it for some time apparently. i'd really like to use this but haven't been able to since they are expired. i'd appreciate the tip!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ldb2000:
Not working anymore. Sounds that now it is saying that the version has expired.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mik101:
Read the post above yours.

Unless the author updates to remove his time check then you're pretty much stuck like that.

As far as I know hes in school right now -- and I'm guessing that doesn't leave time for much else. Maybe he will update in a couple weeks when schools out for Xmas.

Keep your fingers crossed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Sorry guys, I haven't done much with this in months... Got a baby on the way. Not sure if this is worth continuing anymore with the other products out there offering similar functionality.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jason.hamilton:
This app would be sweet. If you need a beta tester, count me in. I work on my mac all day and hate texting on my phone so if i can just text from my mac, id be in heaven.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I'm curious in how it's connecting to the device? I mean, I assume there is some sort of server application running on the device or is it some other kind of voodoo magic (wireless adb, etc)? And if there is a server app, I assume you have taken steps to implement some kind of security (so that, for example, someone else on my network can't just connect to my phone and start sending/receiving texts).

Anyways, looks like a promising app for sure! Cant wait to try it out!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I'm guessing wildly (:p) that theres a server app on the phone and the desktop app that connects to it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Heh, that was my assumption as well, but you know what they say about people that assume things.... hahaha

Assuming this is the case (and really i can't think of any other way this would be possible) then my question regarding security still stands (at least to me it does haha).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PhantomRampage:
Wow this is sexy! Keep on dev'n man :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Dallas Johnson:
Really cool idea! That'd be cool to be able to use your phone as a webcam as well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Crussader:
holy cow... you just build the first sync app for all devices :D not just HTC Sync ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
During connection to the device there is a handshake involving a security password that you setup on your device. Failed password = no dice
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Good deal. I figured that would probably be the case so was just asking in here in the event you hadn't thought of that yet!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] michaelo147:
dude i cannot wait...this is the perfect for me because i always have my phone right next to my laptop, but if i could just send a text from my computer then it would save me going back and forth and i get to use a full size keyboard...

i am so stoked

i wish i knew how to develop like that.....im slowly going through tutorials learning how to do it

Thanks for the info. :)
