rr
2.conf
cp

that are all of my debugging-echos

but it doesn't work by calling it via desktop-shortcut?! o.O

Hrmm.. that is strange.

Copy/paste your desktop file here again with the changes.

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=randomvid
Exec=/bin/busybox sh -c 'echo sh /etc/hildon-welcome.d/lalala.sh | sudo gainroot'
Icon=terminal
#X-Window-Icon=
X-Window-Icon=     
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

edit: maybe i should delete the "sh -c"!? ^^

No I think that's needed by the busybox wrapper. Try running the whole command as user from a command window:

/bin/busybox sh -c 'echo sh /etc/hildon-welcome.d/lalala.sh | sudo gainroot'

If that works.. I'd start removing items from the file like X-Osso-Type and Terminal=true..

works.

xterm changes to busybox, executes the script and i'm able to see the echo-outputs.

so i guess... i will remove some lines in the desktop-file. ^^

ok... please don't ask me why... but after writing a sms and going back to test the desktop file... it works!

strange... but i'm happy now *g*

ok... not 100%... the terminal pops up, leaves everything black except the top bar and closes after a few seconds...
it would be nice to see the output of my echos too (:

You'd probably have to work osso-xterm into there somewhere instead of using busybox.. not sure how'd you do that without something to test with.

It probably started working because the .desktop file was finally reloaded by Hildon. Maybe it caches them or something.

can't get xterm to work. maybe there is a hack-around too. ^^

oh... i think the tracker (or something equal) is very aggressive. just after editing the file my cpu-usage goes up. so i think it's scanning the complete hildon-folder right afterwards. (:

I need to run 2 commands from the desktop file command ala:
'root' and afterwards 'start bluetoothd' in one x-terminal session.
Anyone got an idea on how to do this?

Add an sudoers entry (see /etc/sudoers.d for examples) and then 'sudo /sbin/start bluetoothd'.
