Hi there,

Can't seem to get it working! Onda v925W. Definately detected though!

* (process:1725): DEBUG: Found polling accelerometer at /sys/devices/platform/80860F41:04/i2c-4/i2c-SMO8500:00/iio:device0 * (process:1725): DEBUG: Found device /sys/devices/platform/80860F41:04/i2c-4/i2c-SMO8500:00/iio:device0 of type accelerometer at IIO Poll accelerometer \ (process:1725): DEBUG: iio-sensor-proxy is already running, or it cannot own its D-Bus name. Verify installation.

You need to kill the existing instance of iio-sensor-proxy or, if it's not running already, install it in the correct location so that D-Bus daemon can find the dbus ".conf" file. It won't be able to own its name if the installation is in the wrong location.

thank you for the reply, I followed the configuration instruction you provided. however I had to run autogen.sh to get configure, dont know if that would of changed what you had setup for the ./configure. also im using arch if thats relevant.

The instructions are for building from the tarball, not from git.

Did you check whether iio-sensor-proxy was not already running?

drgnomage commented 9 years ago

ah kk, yes it was running.

I had assumed rebooting would sort that out.

Your Usage section says gnome 3.18 or newer but the beta for 3.17 has just been released. Is this correct?

Well, if it was running on startup, it would still have been running.

3.17 is just a beta for 3.18. You'll need a 3.17.x version indeed.
