Open x-term and type (you can use tab to autocomplete the filenames:
Code:

sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs/.documents
apt-get install python-hildondesktop
apt-get install hildon-desktop-python-loader
dpkg -i pexpect_2.3.0-1_all.deb
dpkg -i ussd-common_0.0.1-0_all.deb
dpkg -i ussd-widget_0.0.4-0_all.deb


Please, could someone explain to a Linux newbie (=me) the line commands that I should make from the xterm in order to check if the 2 packages python-hildondesktop and hildon-desktop-python-loader are already installed in my n900 or not?

Just try the commands you quoted. If they're already installed then it won't do anything, if they aren't it'll download and install them.

Also, if anyone else knows, what's the difference between the .deb version everyone is passing around and the one in the extras-devel repository?

Thank you. I was able to install and now it works. However for some numbers the USSD doesn't work. I mean: I can type *, #, but I need also the symbol + in order to activate/deactivate the answerphone. If I put + by hand in the widget it says "UNKNOWN APPLICATION".
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve it?

The .debs from garage.maemo.org aren't always the newest versions available, so you should use ussd-widget from the extras-devel repository.

I'll update my howto, so it is clear that the prefered way to install it is via repository now.

First of all, packages in garage are outdated. Use repositories. Today I've uploaded new version. Fixed some issues with regexps, moved language selection to the bottom and added warning.

UNKNOWN APPLICATION is a reply from your operator. May be those codes you try to use are not really ussd codes.

I am a little bit confused...
I confirm that if I do *123# it works (it says the amount of money), but if I try with ALL the following codes in order to manage services

http://www.wind.it/it/servizi/scheda...ml?sez=Privati

it says UNKNOWN APPLICATION.
I tried many times.
I phoned to the support service of the telephonic company and they confirm that I have to use those codes and that they are correct.
:(

Re: Missing USSD functionality: N900 can't dial numbers beginning with # or *
 
Try call forwarding widget (I think it was called like this). If I'm not mistaken, codes with ** or ## are call forwarding codes and should be executed by other AT commands.

try to uninstall it (apt-get remove ussd-widget), then go in your /home/user/ folder and delete the two ussd config files (the config and the lock), then reinstall (apt-get install ussd-widget). works ok afterwards, i had the same problems on update.

Just update widget again. I've already fixed saving.
