<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"> Hi,<br><br> I have some similar problems too.<br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">1.</span> First, if I make "opkg update", I receive a lot of "Signature check failed" messages. I know these are only warnings, but in the end I also receive this:<br><br>Collected errors:<br> * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/Packages.gz, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/om-gta02/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/all/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/neo1973/Packages.sig, error 404<br> * Failed to download http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/om-gta01/Packages.sig, error 404<br><br> This makes me think the updates don't work. Because of this, I can't install some packages, because I receive: <br>"Package <span style="font-style: italic;">package_name</span> md5sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'"<br> I've read this may be a DNS problem, but my /etc/resolv.conf file is similar with that from my local machine, so I can't clear
this up.<br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">2.</span> The second problem and the more important one is about using Python with Dbus. I have this little program which should make a phone call on a number:<br><pre>#!/usr/bin/env python<br>import dbus<br>bus = dbus.SessionBus()<br>proxy = bus.get_object("org.openmoko.Dialer", "/org/openmoko/Dialer")<br>interface = dbus.Interface(object, "org.openmoko.Dialer")<br>interface.Dial("12345")<br></pre> But when I make "dbus-launch python my_program" or simply "python my_program", I receive this:<br><br>Traceback (most recent call last): <br> File "test.py", line 2, in <module> <br> import
dbus <br> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/__init__.py", line 100, in <module><br> from dbus._dbus import Bus, SystemBus, SessionBus, StarterBus <br> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 46, in <module> <br> from dbus.bus import BusConnection <br> File
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 26, in <module> <br> import logging <br>ImportError: No module named logging<br><br> If I try a simple command line which also makes a phone call:<br><pre>dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.openmoko.Dialer" /org/openmoko/Dialer org.openmoko.Dialer.Dial string:12345<br></pre>or a simple "dbus-monitor" command, I receive this: <br>"Failed to open connection to session message bus: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11
initialization failed."<br><br> I'm kind of stuck in these problems.
