[maemo-developers] Proper Way To Call Browser (Fremantle)

[From: Brent Chiodo]

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I'm having a problem with using
that dbus service call. When I try it in the SDK I get:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > dbus-send --system --type=method_call
--dest="com.nokia.osso_browser" --print-reply
/com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url
string:"google.com"
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
com.nokia.osso_browser was not provided by any .service files

But if I open the browser first, then try it, it works fine.

SDK or platform bug? What gives?

Thanks.
