cellhunter is not able to check cell IDs

[Quix0r]

CellHunter? is runable but fails with below backtrace if I hit "Check CellIds?":

root@om-gta02 ~ # cellhunter.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cellhunter.py", line 225, in check_cellid
    while len(self.cell_la) < 4:
TypeError: object of type 'dbus.Int32' has no len()
killall: wget: no process killed
root@om-gta02 ~ #

locates cells again

The patched version (it seems) can be found here:  http://freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/download/file.php?id=237 (also attached)

can someone package it for SHR-T?

I can confirm that it also works on unstable.

One little thing (I'm not registered in that other forum): I have to press "Offline Mode" twice to get it turned ON. That wasn't needed with the unpatched version on Paroli.

And "Auto-check" doesn't work as well. In the console it reads:

Error while getting neighbour cells: org.freesmartphone.GSM.DeviceFailed: OK
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cellhunter.py", line 354, in check_cellid_auto
    self.check_cellid(button, label)
  File "/usr/bin/cellhunter.py", line 328, in check_cellid
    self.send_data()
  File "/usr/bin/cellhunter.py", line 472, in send_data
    offlineFile = open(self.homedir + '/cellhunter/cellhunter_offline.log', 'a')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/root/cellhunter/cellhunter_offline.log'

As far as I can remember, the logfile was directly stored in ~/ also the uploader script (including mine) refers to ~/cellhunter_offline.log

I'm also sometimes getting this:

Error while getting neighbour cells: org.freesmartphone.GSM.DeviceFailed: OK

Oh, "Offline Mode" twice and ~/cellhunter/cellhunter_offline.log are trivial, I don't know why the original patchers did that... Anyway, here is uploaded version that fixes that (cellhunter.py_mn_cleanup1)

as for "Error while getting neighbour cells: org.freesmartphone.GSM.DeviceFailed?: OK", I'm not sure, hadn't happened to me yet. If you could run "cellhunter.py -d" and then send me output when it happens, I'll look some more into that one, but it is possible that it's unrelated to cellhunter (as it is exception from try block using DBUS self.ogsmd_monitor_iface.GetNeighbourCellInformation? calls to get info from fsogsmd)

[mnalis]

fix "Offline mode twice" and ~/cellhunter_offline.log

[mnalis]

slyon, can you explain why is this has been closed with resolution "Invalid"?
Has it been fixed some other way in SHR in the meantime or what?

cellhunter isn't part of the actively developed shr-core and it doesn't seem to be developed any more by it's upstream ( http://ch.omoco.de/cellhunter/ - last update from sep. 2009)
