osso-xterm issue

Hi!

I have scratchbox 1.0.7 installed from debian packages.
I try to run osso-xterm ( from extras menu ), but all I have is "X
Terminal Loading" message for a while only.

In scratchbox console:
* maemo_af_desktop[4743]: We could not read lowmem page stats.
* execl: No such file or directory ( this one only sometimes ).

Any hints?

Piotras

Re: osso-xterm issue [In reply to]

If this is in any way related to the same problem on the N800 itself,
which a lot of people has had (osso-xterm window flashed for a brief
moment and then disappearing), then the explanation could be that you
have installed a bad version, osso-xterm 0.13mh13. I did that, and had
to replace it with osso-xterm 0.13mh19.

Only problem was that just removing the old package and putting in the
new one wasn't enough. I had to reflash my device to make osso-xterm
0.13mh19 work.

Don't know if that helps you...

How can I debug this?

This is nothing that would matter (m-a-d just monitors some entries
under /proc that are not available in standard kernels), you can
safely ignore it.

Most obvious problems that give this message are
a) file is not there ;)
b) file is there, but is for a wrong architecture (for example arm
binary on i386)

The latter might not be that obvious, unless you've done it often
enough to remember it (/me tries to look innocent, but fails ;).

You can tell which arch the file is for by running "file /usr/bin/filename".

Running maemo-af-desktop with the strace utility should tell you what
it tries to access, and where, but since it uses the maemo-launcher
thing it's a bit tricky. You could always build m-a-d yourself and
omit the maemo-launcher feature so you'd get a real binary to run.
Strace can be a bit verbose too...

File just doesn't exist, and I have no idea what package provides it.
( at least debian package builded for scratchbox environment )

In IT2007 you can do just:
run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/maemo-summoner
/usr/bin/maemo_af_desktop.launch

This can be used for running any maemo-launched application directly.
