My app needs to do some privileged work. I've been looking everywhere, but I can't find anything useful. I know I want to use Policykit1 and dbus because all the other alternatives I've found aren't used anymore. This is the code I got so far: import dbus import os bus = dbus.SystemBus() proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.PolicyK...
D-Bus on Linux and the EventAdmin in Eclipse both offer a publish/subscribe model. I want to link the two, so I can publish an event to the EventAdmin in Eclipse and it publishes that event to D-Bus and vice versa. A module in Eclipse listens to selected D-Bus events and publishes them to the EventAdmin. I'm clear how to publish/subscrib...
I have a problem with dbus and python. Running python from the command line, telling it import dbus and then systembus = dbus.SystemBus() results in no errors, nor does running a program written by a friend which also uses the exact same code. However, when running a program I'm trying to write, I get this error: Traceback (most recent ...

I've found the excellent answer in How can I listen for ‘usb device inserted’ events in Linux, in Python? to get basic D-Bus connectivity and read properties.

Hi, Suppose that we have four process A, B, C, and D. Usually, B-D send packets to A and get a reply from A. (The packet represents a simple command, so it is very small) However, sometimes, 'A' broadcasts an event, so that all of B-D should be notified. At first glance, My mind came up with 'dbus'. Unfortunately, we need a open so...
