Description jpakkane (reporter) 2006-06-19 00:33:07 UTC

On 2006 beta system having a d-bus service whose name does not start with
com.nokia (such as org.maemo) gets killed by the system after a couple of seconds.

Since the new documentation suggests using org.maemo prefixes, killing programs
that use them is a bug. Alternately if there are some extra steps that must be
taken to make these prefixes work, they should be clearly stated in the
documentation.

It's now possible for the application to use 'org.maemo' prefix, but there is
some code in Libosso that assumes the 'com.nokia' prefix still. So, I'll keep
this still open.

This should be now fixed in Libosso v1.18 and later versions (available from
Sardine):
https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/tags/libosso/1.18-1/

If you still find a bug in this, please reopen (and preferably attach a patch :)).

Comment 3 jpakkane (reporter) 2007-01-29 01:51:08 UTC

I just tested this on N800 and the bug still remains.

what kind of code you are using?

Comment 5 jpakkane (reporter) 2007-02-11 15:17:45 UTC

I tested this with my program PLCreator
(https://garage.maemo.org/projects/plcreator/). To replicate simply check it out
of svn. Revision 23 uses a com.nokia prefix, while revision 22 has org.maemo.
This is the only difference between these two revisions. The latter gets killed
by Maemo after a while, while the former keeps on running.

Take these steps to build an installable deb package.

./configure
make
./package.sh

Did you give "org.maemo.plcreator" as the application name to
osso_initialize()?

Comment 7 jpakkane (reporter) 2007-02-18 23:03:01 UTC

It seems that I passed plain "plcreator" to osso_initialize. When I used
com.nokia prefix elsewhere the app was not killed, whereas using org.maemo does
get it killed.

Whether or not this is the expected behaviour is beyond me. As far as I am
concerned this bug can be closed.

Does the bug occur if you pass "org.maemo.plcreator" to osso_initialize()?

I guess it works

Comment 10 Jake Kunnari 2007-12-04 14:24:28 UTC

Closing RESOLVED and FIXED bug. No one has not touched or commented in last 180
