Title: Tkcvox Recording Longer Than 30 Minutes?
Post by: MrCool80s on April 26, 2006, 12:58:04 am
I purchased tkcVox from the Kompany a couple weeks ago for recording talks I give / attend.  However, I could not get it to run longer than 30 minutes (it would not prevent suspend as a couple other programs do).  "Shaun" at the Kompany advised I should (paraphrasing) "set the suspend to a long time or disable it".  However, that is not possible using the standard utility.

It has been suggested that  modifying qpe.conf  (http://https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1796&hl=tkcvox) would produce the desired results, but the file is over written every time the utility is used.   In addition, after several edits, I was only able to get tkcVox to run for 38 minutes at the longest.

After quite an email discourse with Shaun, he told me I was "the only one with this problem" and that I asked for a refund becuase I "found it inconvenient" to make the necessary changes to the suspend settings.

Am I totally out there?  Anyone use tkcVox on the 6000 (with or without Qtopia) and it just works?

You can create a script to disable suspend.  I had this problem as well.  With information from other people, I created a script called "tkcVox-ns" in a directory in my path which contains the lines:

qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 2
tkcVox_xscale
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 100


I then had to run

su
vi /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/tkcVox_c700.desktop
exit
exit


I changed the line that begins with "Exec" to:

Exec=tkcVox-ns

I have a C760.  I also had to change the preferences inside tkcVox to change the Mic and Phone to

/dev/dspdefault

instead of what it originally was.

Thank you!  Before posting, I had come across your Feb, 2004 discussion with lardman and tumnus but could not complete the process.  I will use your additional detail and report back.
