How to start Conversation using xterminal?[N900]

Hi tried in xterminal

Code:

/usr/bin/rtcom-messaging-ui

But I got

“Internal error application conversation closed”

I tried same code under sudo gainroot but same result

Any idea?

Use dbus?

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"rtcom-messaging-ui"

i don't know if i did right or not but it did not work here is what x terminal gives me

Code:

~ $ run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication/usr/bin/rtcom-messaging-ui 

process 7833: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_member (method)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1081.

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

Couldn't allocate D-Bus message

Re: How to start Conversation using xterminal?[N900]

You typed it wrong.
Do not use /usr/bin to call, this is dbus.
Copy and paste if you can.

oh yes it worked
actually i did not copy this first time fully one line was missing...

thanks

Re: How to start Conversation using xterminal?[N900]

For future searchers this dbus command can be used to call applications.
Replace the value in the string comments with the application you wish to execute.
