I'm not sure if that's possible to do with the python "dbus" >module, but it certainly is with python + Gio (via GLib introspection). Not only possible, but trivial! In fact, that's what Didier's patch implements: http://tinyurl.com/n5shrfy The problem is that it's also kind of useless! The async version of the method can only return a hardcoded string, so the "no error" empty string is used. But what if there is an error applying the update? The async version can only report that via signal, thus the new Rebooting signal. The current Rebooting signal still isn't useful enough, so in further discussions with Didier, we're going to make it more useful for the ui: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-image/+bug/1260768 And yes, we'll make sure to do a better job of coordinated API changes this time. ;) - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSsdW1AAoJEBJutWOnSwa/kw8QAJd1Q59YXsjMt3t+zJMPb2Jn XV+qH1WvMtEtmMwB3iIymdx+6lGAXyIvzCob6yQPhWIpyJvtSKzLDITedZeqKL/B bQ+aubahldY2PS4N7jkKGR4zVAX1UA+LOxCGunX0xaq6lB5MTMJv+YPeMzh5Q9O6 WWAjLTSPSo9P4kXklxh6rBjbk+BiBFQgS5u3OHM8ahOM1H139nfXuMqtXCfK3Vsc IfhCN2rcUP/BommoRIlayxp/3abg3DP9MZE0PnG3sG98JF413Kz9FeXP59Sx/wIp qzVI4xvZ6RorUFX+G0QlJUDA+o/IyepyNMd2cjbgS5vRsUjrJCzCfmXimWygkX53 bQM9plMHR/e37zG/5+VDVsngQwc4rQzTJY+AzloAdwqV0LpsUxpy/WssEei0PkWq oGS4pCtqWC2Ezdu2pGst+VGwn7MDUlbl3LY2+LbpVWLPLQWScO+JjfEO8W/Wyv6W JIiobQkKisFfavssnzaiSwegsPb2uprk5CerSef9XNYpajWJ0rb1AGHpEtcNGYMP dAZVk6jJla6dNYSm2i9ocXe0wGqgWEPXlVsK7t5a4FB6LhOR0HAukZqpcPU00Kc/ qX9SXugSpcLEnfZshHp8AUquIahlaOTwab5TGvx6TW3b4tFpU5ucjG6303uxehT2 3e1nnIhfG/4koYVFnb57 =RCCu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
