Re: is dbus-uuidgen --ensure ok in an install script?
Hi, I don't think this will help your problem described in your reply but instead of using dbus-uuidgen, you can use run-standalone.sh name of program instead. Maybe a su - user -c 'name of program' may work. On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 7:49 PM, Brad Midgley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey I have an issue that goes away after running dbus-uuidgen --ensure.

Faheem I don't think this will help your problem described in your reply but instead of using dbus-uuidgen, you can use run-standalone.sh name of program instead. Maybe a su - user -c 'name of program' may work. fwiw, both the dbus-uuidgen and run-standalone.sh approaches result in an execution where osso_initialize returns null. so actually su - works. It even makes the gps icon appear properly in the system tray after it's powered up. I'll have to replicate that programatically since a simple seteuid() obviously doesn't cut it and I need some root behavior in early execution. Maybe it's something in the environment. thanks -- Brad ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: is dbus-uuidgen --ensure ok in an install script?
hmm fwiw, maybe it's not so simple... turning on the gps from my daemon doesn't activate the gps status display in the system tray. Is there a better way to do this stuff from the background? -- Brad ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
