When I click on DialCentral to open the application, the application doesn't start. How do I start the application?

If the dialcentral.desktop shortcut is broken make sure dialcentral is installed.

$ dpkg -s dialcentral | grep Status
Status: install ok installed

If that isn't the output then it didn't install correctly.

$ ls /opt/dialcentral/bin/dialcentral.py

If that file does not exist then there is your problem.

To manually start:
$ /usr/bin/run-standalone.sh /opt/dialcentral/bin/dialcentral.py &

The status says install ok installed.

I still can't start the application. How do I start DialCentral by clicking on the application?

How do I add the file $ ls /opt/dialcentral/bin/dialcentral.py to my device?

Uninstall DialCentral and any other QT apps you have installed

Disable Extras-Devel

Install Dial Central from Maemo extras.

The PyQT in Extras devel doesn't work correctly, so disabling Extras-devel and installing from Maemo-extras solves this. Hopefully it should work.

What are the QT Applications? I need the list of QT Applications to know which applications to uninstall.

Please note that I cannot follow every new thread created so I miss these DC threads requesting help. If you would like assistance, please post to the main DC thread.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29347

Most likely DC will be your only Qt application at the moment. To verify, run the following
Code:
apt-get uninstall libqt4-gui
(I think)

That will ask to remove everything that depends on that package. Look at the list, say no, and use HAM to uninstall all of the top level applications

@epage
which package manager have you been using lately? :P

@nmontreuil
as root:
Code:
apt-get remove libqtgui4
I'm running dialcentral 1.1.12-0 (really old) but it works great for me and it's GTK-based so QT is irrelevant. Of course the newer builds are QT so the OP needs to determine which version they are trying to install.
