Description Aleksandr Koltsoff (reporter) 2007-11-17 19:30:19 UTC

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

Removal of hello-world-app should be possible without too much problems, even
when AF is running.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

Application menu is replicated (two copies) in TN.

If hello-world-app is then reinstalled, none of its .so s will work anymore
(statusbar, TN and home applets will not be present). control panel applet will
work as will the hello world application.

No amount of af-sb-init.sh start|stop / reboots will fix this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1) install 4.0 SDK
2) login into sbox (x86) and af-sb-init.sh start
3) fakeroot apt-get remove hello-world-app
This is where TN will break and the application menus double

4) fakeroot apt-get install hello-world-app maemo-example-apps maemo-sdk-dev
Will not fix it (as one would expect), but instead all the .so s will be
missing from AF for hello-world-app.

OTHER COMMENTS:

Reinstalling the SDK is so much fun. If hello-world-app is removed before AF is
started for the first time in a target, and then reinstalled (before launching
AF for the first time), everything works.

Didn't test other scenarios.

Confirming bug. This is most probably sdk bug.. when I remove hello-world-app
also some other packages are removed:

Assigning to sdk-bugs.

Some more info.. if I "af-sb-init.sh stop" and then "rm -rf ~/.osso" directory
then the extra TN menu goes away when I start the AF again, but I still get
complaints about the missing hello-world.png.

This seems to be because the task navigator->extras menu still has hello world
in it. Looks like the hello-world.desktop is installed into
/usr/share/applications/hildon but is not removed from there when the package
is removed.

Comment 4 Aleksandr Koltsoff (reporter) 2007-11-19 23:11:22 UTC

Testing hello-world-app on a device (N800/OS2008) showed the following:
- TN icon does not come up all (different from SDK)
- Installing the package (via AM) will ask for the location where to place the
desktop file (default extras) (different from SDK)
- Removal of the package is not possible:
  hello-world-app.postrm uses bashishms (arrays) which are not supported by
ash. The script is marked as #!/bin/sh which it shouldn't be. Also, it uses the
array for something silly, which could be replaced by using sed -i directly.

After fixing the postrm manually, the package can now be removed (via
application manager), home, statusbar and control panel icons will be gone, but
the icon in the application menu will stay.

This last bug is due to a file rename on package install and it is never
renamed back (the hello-world.desktop file) and as such, it will remain on the
device even if the package is removed.

-----

Since the TN icon didn't appear at all, it's not known whether the "double
application menu" bug affects device as well or not.

The TN icon will not appear for 2 reasons:
1. The 3 plugin positions are already occupied on the device.
2. Even if the plugin position is available, you can see the plugin only by
activating it in the panel applet of control panel.

This issue can be solved if all the TN plugins are made available in the SDK.
Will be fixed in Diablo release.
