Wizard Mounter does not work, because it relies on an additional kernel module, and it has no permission to modprobe it from inside the chroot. It is possible (albeit unprobable) that if we mount the /lib/current dir of the chroot it will work, but I'm afraid to bork harmattan by doing this and that will take me back on the pressing matter: starting hildon-desktop.

However I must admit I have ran out of ideas. (for the same reason as above I haven't tried copying everything clockd related outside the chroot, I will do that as a last resort. Also the fact that the same clockd errors didn't prove to be fatal in other circumstances hint that maybe the clockd problems are unrelated to the fatal error. However the fact that the fatal error contains a function/class called pipDate might just confirm a clockd correlation. I will change the thread title in order to attract some attention.

Thanks for testing
