osso-xterm launches from CLI, but not another script (DBus issue)

This script "output_log.sh" (below) launches an xterm and starts tailing a logfile:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



/usr/bin/maemo-summoner /usr/bin/osso-xterm.launch \

  -e "tail -f /var/log/openvpn.log"

It works fine when run from the CLI. But if openvpn tries to run it (by placing "up output_log.sh" in the openvpn config file), it fails with the error:

Code:

process 11752: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory

dbus is installed, and the following files are visible:

Code:

# ls -a1 /usr/bin/dbus-*

/usr/bin/dbus-cleanup-sockets

/usr/bin/dbus-daemon

/usr/bin/dbus-launch

/usr/bin/dbus-monitor

/usr/bin/dbus-send

/usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen

*solved* Re: osso-xterm launches from CLI, but not another script (DBus issue)

Solution from qwerty12: "source /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh" before launching xterm.

Solved. See http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=311922&postcount=3
