Input:

Code:

dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=oh.no.more.qbw /oh/no/more/qbw5 oh.no.more.qbw.wakeup

Output:

Code:

Failed to open connection to "session" message bus: (null)

Basically, I want a specific widget to update the moment I manually update another one, but the widget does not respond to the call.
What am I doing wrong?

You are mistyping the id of the widget you want to update.Simply writing 5 is not correct.Actual id in your case will be id5

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=oh.no.more.qbw /oh/no/more/qbwid5 oh.no.more.qbw.update_content

For future queries please use main QBW thread.

I sure feel like an idiot now...

Either way, even after applying the suggested changes to the command, it still returns the same error without actually updating the widget.

DBUS Event Monitoring for id5 is set to Session. Do I have to add anything to that?

It doesn't matter whether you have dbus monitoring for it enabled or not.Did you use the code I gave you,instead of editing yours?

Yes, I did. I just noticed, however, that I accidently made a typo whilst copying your code. I was already editing my previous post, but you managed to post before I could submit the changes.

Your code works.
Thanks for the help, bro.
