I've installed the latest SDK in scratchbox and i'm able to run fremantle just fine for a while now. The browser works perfectly and i can connect to the network. Obviously there are some things that won't work as the camera and GPS. There are some other things that (imho) should work but doesn't:

- Desktop widgets
None of the desktop widgets appear on the desktop. Only the RSS feed widget shows in the list (and i think i had the weather widget running once)

- Contacts on desktop
Contact won't show on the desktop. I can choose the menu option once in the contact view but the contact won't show.

- Installing Hermes gives an error
Apt-get install gives some dependency errors. It's a 3rd party app so the error could be there but some people manage to run it just fine on their device.

- Uninstalling rootsh gives an error
It's an error in the uninstall script. I can file a bugreport but don't know if the same error applies on a real device.

These are just examples that i ran into. There will probably be more.

I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade more than once but it won't help. I'm runing scratchbox in a Ubuntu 9.04/9.10 32 bits Virtualbox.

Any thoughts on this? Should it work 100% and thus is the error on my side?

Regards,

Rob

Seems to work here (OMWeather, Hello World applet, RSS feed). This is debian unstable on x86_64.

I have the same problem. Actually, the contact window shows up, but it is empty and non-responsive. When I press a key while on the desktop, the contact window shows up with the list of contacts and the search bar containing the pressed character. But then it hangs.

What dependency error exactly? Maybe everybody already had this missing dependency pre-installed so nobody ever noticed. (Worked fine here, btw.)

I think filing bug reports against the SDK is valid - people are expected to use it to develop, after all.

It's a known error. It will get fixed soon, now that lma found a problem with ash's history files and sudo (not my fault - the history thing - but Nokia do not wish to fix it and I can workaround it in rootsh...).

The main purpose of the emulator is to let you develop at least some apps without having a real device. The emulator is not supposed to completely replace the actual device for end users.

I can't try it right now. I had scratchbox running on Ubuntu 9.10 and after apt-get upgrade, i can't run fremantle anymore Looks something is wrong with dbus messages.

I understand that. But how can you test your apps when the emulator isn't 100% functional?

You can't. Ultimately, you still have to test them on a real device.

This is the error i get when installing Hermes:

Code:
Setting up hermes (0.2.2) ...
gconftool-2[22088]: GLIB WARNING ** GConf - Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Error setting value: No D-BUS daemon running

dpkg: error processing hermes (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 hermes
E: Sub-process /scratchbox/devkits/debian-etch/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It says: Error setting value: No D-BUS daemon running but that seems strange to me. Fremantle is running and that need D-Bus too. Right?

Yep.

I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the d-bus version. I'm having this version:

Code:
rob@maemo:~$ dbus-daemon --version
