Hi All!

Sorry for bumping an old thread but searching through the forums and the internet weren't succesful for my specific problem.

I'm trying to write a maemo5 hildon home widget in python according to the wiki. My problem is that when I run it from terminal it behaves as expected but when I add it from the desktop menu (with desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon-home/ and .py file in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/) it doesn't behaves right (does not do the refreshing and showing the infos right)...

(It is a simple weather widget, refreshing connected to wifi connection dbus signal)

What am I doing wrong...? Maybe someone could point me to the right direction...?

Thanks,

jm

Thanks for the answer.
I do not think that dbus session is wrong because the script is working fine when I run it from terminal... (I use com.nokia.wlancond)

(Sidenote: I'm aware of the fact that a python hildon home widget needs "speciel treatment" when using dbus signal - I made those modifications too... )

Maybe try to put run-standalone.sh infront of the command.

... to where...
The .desktop file contains only an "X-Path" row where I have to write - let's say - "weather.py" (maybe that is the place you think I should write "run-standalone"?). So my main problem is that it does not want to do the refreshing properly when added from hildon desktop menu.

From terminal it is working fine...

Edit:// Maybe I should upload the given stuff; as soon as I get home I will do that...

Could it be path related?

You mean python path...? I do not know... For hildon home widgets the desktop file should point to the corresponding "module" which has to be in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/...
In the script I use "#!/usr/bin/env python" so I can execute it easier (shorter command) but it is not in the wiki... maybe I should delete that line and see if it is the path that causing issues... I cannot imagine how that could be an issue though...

I have no idea but freemangordon definitely has
There are two different dbus sessions. One for user and one for root.
Executing from terminal: as user or as root?
Try the other one and see if it still works...
