Hi, I have some similar problems too.
1. First, if I make "opkg update", I receive a lot of "Signature check failed" messages. I know these are only warnings, but in the end I also receive this: Collected errors: * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/Packages.gz, error 404 * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/om-gta02/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/all/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/neo1973/Packages.sig, error 404 * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/om-gta01/Packages.sig, error 404 This makes me think the updates don't work. Because of this, I can't install some packages, because I receive: "Package package_name md5sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'" I've read this may be a DNS problem, but my /etc/resolv.conf file is similar with that from my local machine, so I can't clear this up. 2. The second problem and the more important one is about using Python with Dbus. I have this little program which should make a phone call on a number: #!/usr/bin/env python import dbus bus = dbus.SessionBus() proxy = bus.get_object("org.openmoko.Dialer", "/org/openmoko/Dialer") interface = dbus.Interface(object, "org.openmoko.Dialer") interface.Dial("12345") But when I make "dbus-launch python my_program" or simply "python my_program", I receive this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 2, in <module> import dbus File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/__init__.py", line 100, in <module> from dbus._dbus import Bus, SystemBus, SessionBus, StarterBus File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 46, in <module> from dbus.bus import BusConnection File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 26, in <module> import logging ImportError: No module named logging If I try a simple command line which also makes a phone call: dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.openmoko.Dialer" /org/openmoko/Dialer org.openmoko.Dialer.Dial string:12345 or a simple "dbus-monitor" command, I receive this: "Failed to open connection to session message bus: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed." I'm kind of stuck in these problems. Thank you in advance.

I have discovered it, and while the initial frustration level has receded, I still haven't got the hang of it yet. I'm beginning to see why Apple have captured the non-geek market. > where all your questions will be answered Not really. For example, the OM2009 link is to Elementary, which looks neat, but a) it's not gtk, and b) it's in C, and life (and in particular, the possible life of a Neo) is too short to write apps in C. So I need something with python bindings. > the wiki is great, have search - there's mountains of useful info there Weeeeeel, there is a lot there, but I haven't yet found the key to doing what I want... -- Ant _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
