TelldusCenter 2.1.2 on Arch Linux - issues with GUI

[guzzard]

Hi,

I have searched high and low, but am not able to find the solution to this.. hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction.

I have successfully built telldus-core and telldus-gui from source, but the TelldusCenter GUI is missing the "devices" button, and "telldus live" in the configuration dialog. See attached images.

There warning/error messages are visible in the terminal output when running TelldusCenter:

Code: Select all

~]$ TelldusCenter 
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to ConfigurationDialog "", which already has a layout
"Error in com.telldus.gui:15:" "TypeError: incompatible type of argument(s) in call to addWidget(); candidates were
    addWidget(QString,QIcon,QWidget*)
    addWidget(QString,QString,QWidget*)" 
static bool QDeclarativeMetaType::isModule(const QByteArray&, int, int) Qt 4.7 import detected; please note that Qt 4.7 is directly reusable as QtQuick 1.x with no code changes. Continuing, but startup time will be slower.

These two messages appeared when building telldus-gui, don't know if they might be causing the issue?

Code: Select all

telldus-core is installed, and service is running:

I can turn on/off devices just fine through the terminal:

Code: Select all

]$ tdtool --on 1
Turning on device 1, Lamp - Success
]$ tdtool --off 1
Turning off device 1, Lamp - Success
]$

When compiling and running through QtCreator, the "devices" button and list show up.. "telldus live" still missing in the configurations window.

"Solved" it by using the compiled deb-packages intended for Debian/Ubuntu. Copied all the files into the correct folders, and modified the confs, and udev rules slightly.

I think the lack of feedback from Telldus, the poorly documented build process, and the mostly non-existing comments/descriptions in the source code is very dissapointing..

Anyway, now the UI looks and works as expected:
