Ubuntu-ie Digest, Vol 74, Issue 3

Mon Jan 6 11:49:54 UTC 2014

Hi Mark,

Many thanks for the response. The RTPI system has been dodgy for the last
few days, coming and going all the time. As of sending this email, it seems
to be up and running, albeit really flaky. I've just received an email back
from Luas customer support confirming that they're experiencing
intermittent issues, however, no technical explanation or ETA for a fix.

The good news is I've just pushed a new version of the app and it has
passed through the Ubuntu review process. This update uses a brand new
version of the API, which allows for service update messages straight from
Luas central. Now, if the times are not displaying for some reason, you
will be given an explanation as to why, straight from the source.

The update will appear in your Update Manager on the phone. You may need to
reboot the phone after updating - or at least I did with my Galaxy S2.

I'll push the source to my GitHub later this evening.

If you get a chance, please test and let me know if it works for you.

All the best,
Aaron
