I'm able to run the applications from the menu, but the "loading..." message doesn't show up at all. The application starts, but it runs only for a certain period of time and then closes itself. I haven't got the package.links file to create the links inside the .deb package, so I've simply put the .desktop file in both directories. You wouldn't mind emailing me <teemu.harju at gmail.com> or posting here the method you've used to create the .deb package. By combining our experienses we might get it to work. ;) I’ve created .deb packages also, but I’ve had somewhat different problems.

Using links with desktop and service -files we managed to create icons to extra-menu also. Now only problem is we get this error trieng to run our software from menus: "We could not read lowmem page stats.". Actually this error doesn't show up in 770, program just wont start (loading... -screen stays up for a while and then shuts down), when we run application in PC inside scratchbox we get that error message and same behavior in UI. When running application in X-term in 770 everything works perfectly. So far we've been creating deb-packages bit "more simple way" than in instructions, that may be the reason... our software installed in /var/lib/install/testApp.py and we linked desktop and service-files to /extra_applications and /dbus-1.0/services folders.. icon shows up in menus correctly.

I had some problems getting the icons to show up in the "extras" menu, but otherwise it's quite easy actually. The method is pretty much the same as described in this post. I might post instructions on how to make a .deb package of the uitest application that I've created. Hi morical,

Has anyone made .deb-packages of their python programs yet? Is there anything different from instructions from maemo.org for normal c-code software? Maybe some differences in compiling? We've started coding for 770 and its going just fine (also thanks to this forum!), but now we've started to plan of making installation packages of our programs to test it easier on devices. Hi all!

I have generated a evince package with support for comic books (including unzip/unrar) but as we have serious restrictions using the application installer, there is no way to update the mime database automatically and when i try to open a file, Evince complains about the unrecognized mime type. We could ask nokia guys to include the latest version of shared-mime-info in the next releases of the software image. Best Regards.
