You mean hildon-home (hildon-desktop does not have plugins). I found some code from http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/doc/tutorial.html#connecting-to-the-bus ===== import dbus from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop dbus_loop = DBusGMainLoop() bus = dbus.SessionBus(mainloop=dbus_loop) ===== Just replace SessionBus with SystemBus, yes? -Kimmo > > > Thanks all > -Tom > > > > As a follow-up to the discussion about d-bus from a hildon widget a > > few days ago that I found out while having the same problem, I've > > finally managed to get something that seems to be working for me: > > > > # Create a session bus. > > import dbus > > from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop > > dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True) > > from os import environ > > bus = dbus.bus.BusConnection(environ["DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"]) > > > > And then bus can be used as usual.
