Hi to all
I asked this question on TJC, but no answer yet... Maybe here someone can help me..

After last update I have some problem with my apps (scripts). Maybe someone can help me to fix it...

1. CAN'T get notification... if I'll run this command for example:

Code:

python /usr/share/openrepos-wazebton/notifer1.py

I get this output:

Code:

[root@Jolla ~]# python /usr/share/openrepos-wazebton/notifer1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/openrepos-wazebton/notifer1.py", line 2, in <module>
        import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus
[root@Jolla ~]#

The content of notifer1.py is:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import dbus

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
object = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Notifications','/org/freedesktop/Notifications')
interface = dbus.Interface(object,'org.freedesktop.Notifications')
#print(interface.GetCapabilities())

interface.Notify("app_name",
                 0,
                 "icon-m-notifications",
                 "Waze BT APPLIED !",
                 "Waze & BT starter",
                 dbus.Array(["default", ""]),
                 dbus.Dictionary({"x-nemo-preview-body": "Waze & BT starter",
                                  "x-nemo-preview-summary": "Waze BT APPLIED !"},
                                  signature='sv'),
                 0)

What wrong here ? Why it stopped to work after update ?

2. Strange way to open script via fingerterm.
When I press on the .desktop file, it should open fingerterm and start my script inside. All worked perfectly before update, but now it work in different way, see picture:

1. Start window
2. Open fingerterm window with my script

BUT #2 CAN'T came to foreground automatically, like it was before update. It just stay in this mode like you can see on the image. If you will press on the #2 it came to foreground, and when you close this window it also will close the #1 window.
Maybe problem came from python/dbus problem from the first question ?

Python that I have installed:

Code:

[root@Jolla ~]# rpm -qa *python*
python-2.7.6-1.2.4.armv7hl
python-libs-2.7.6-1.2.4.armv7hl
[root@Jolla ~]#

Dbus that I have installed:

Code:

[root@Jolla ~]# rpm -qa *dbus*
qt5-qttools-qdbus-5.2.0+git0-1.6.10.armv7hl
dbus-glib-0.100.2-1.1.3.armv7hl
libdbus-qeventloop-qt5-1.27.6-1.6.7.armv7hl
qtaround-dbus-0.2.3-1.2.1.armv7hl
nemo-qml-plugin-dbus-qt5-2.0.1-1.8.1.armv7hl
qt5-qtdbus-5.2.1+git11-1.18.3.armv7hl
dbus-1.6.24+git1-1.5.1.armv7hl
ohm-plugins-dbus-1.1.63-1.7.3.armv7hl
dbus-libs-1.6.24+git1-1.5.1.armv7hl
[root@Jolla ~]#

Can someone help me with this ?

Thanks

I don't have a Jolla but reading the output I would guess that you need a python-dbus package for it to work.

Yes, thanks... Answered on TJC, I needed to install dbus-python package

But about the second question, now I noticed it can came to foreground, but it take like 8 sec

Do you know how to speed up it ? Like it was before sys update, it was open almost immediately...

Python using own libs wrappers for system functions, so you need python-{something} packages to work.

For example:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=More snoozes
Exec=/usr/share/openrepos-moresnoozes/moresnoozes-root
Icon=openrepos-moresnoozes
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.20

and content of moresnoozes-root

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
   setuid( 0 );
   system( "fingerterm -e /usr/share/openrepos-moresnoozes/moresnoozes.sh");

   return 0;
}

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Dalvik Cleanup
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/share/openrepos-dalvikcleanup/dalvikcleanup-start
Icon=openrepos-dalvikcleanup
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.20

and content of dalvikcleanup-start

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
   setuid( 0 );
   system( "fingerterm -e /usr/share/openrepos-dalvikcleanup/dalvikcleanup.sh");

   return 0;
}

or try in reverse way:
desktop file starting script1 in fingerterm
script1 executing root helper binary
binary executing script2 with root privileges
it should work better

Thanks Coderus.
X-Nemo-Application-Type=no-invoker didn't change nothing, it still take too much time to open fingerterm in foreground.

I will try the second option later and will report.
Thanks

Ok, tried...
It really speed up opening of fingerterm, but it also opened another terminal window withh all processes...

But I found how to do this:
1. removed from binary "fingerterm -e" before path to script.
2. added "fingerterm -e" in the .desktop file before path to binary.

Now all work quickly like before sys update

Strange changes in this sys update...
Thanks
