Just a quick update to say two things:
1.- If you try Dianara, the Diaspora App, in its 0.2 version from nonGNU or Qt-apps, it won’t get any posts in the timeline. Some stuff has been changed in Diaspora, so you’ll need to test the development version of Dianara directly from Git.
2.- If you have problems running Auralquiz, my music guessing game (if it doesn’t play sound), check if you’re using Phonon-backend-gstreamer in your Phonon configuration. If so, try using Phonon-backend-vlc.
Auralquiz does not work right with the Gstreamer backend at this point, I don’t know yet if it’s some regression in the latest Phonon-gstreamer or a problem in the way Auralquiz handles things. Switching to the vlc-backend should help. Or the xine-backend, if you still can.
Cheers!

Hi !
Your ‘Dianara’ is a project interesting.
I have just compiled it on my Fedora 17 and there are two issues that i want tell you:
– On ‘Account Details’ is ‘access token’ my Diaspora password ? If yes, typing it is visible.
– Timeline update fails, probably it is not connected, its log reports:
…
Getting list of aspects

Thanks.
Hi! No, your “token” is not your password.
It’s a long key that you can find in your Diaspora settings, _if_ your pod is based on Pistos fork (like old diasp0ra.ca or Calispora, for instance).
It’s visible because it’s not a password.
Also, if your account is in a pistos-based pod, you can’t receive the timeline, but you can post to it. This is detailed in the README, I think.
Cheers!
https://resoc.com is not a Pistos fork so I cannot do anything else, i think.
Ok, if it’s a pod based on the main Diaspora branch, just type anything in the “Token” field, since it’ll not be used.
Then, after you enter your Diaspora ID (user@pod) in the Account Details window, you should be able to see your _public_ posts.
But you need the latest Dianara version from Gitorious, since some protocol stuff got changed after the v0.2 release, and therefore v0.2 doesn’t work.
Ok.
I already run Dianara 0.3v; using it with Diaspora login done, however i have not any my post. This is the log: http://www.fpaste.org/66rX/
The key here is the line “Error parsing received JSON data!”.
You can see the raw data in the line below, and you’ll recognize your posts.
I’m guessing your pod didn’t have those last updates that broke Dianara v0.2, so maybe you’ll be OK with v0.2 from Dianara’s website: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/dianara/
Cheers!
[…] a side note, sometimes I get visits from people looking for information on why Auralquiz doesn’t work for them. Well, all I can say for now is: use the Phonon-VLC backend. Phonon-Xine worked great with it, but […]
