qdbus connect return always FALSE

hi to all, this is my first post, i'm developing an program in qt4 and i want to attach it to the dbus daemon...

i have using this method:

Code:

---

halconnection = new QDBusInterface(HAL_SERVICE,HAL_PATH,HAL_INTERFACE,QDBusConnection::systemBus());
    //check if the connection is valid
    //sorround this with an try cath interface for emit the error and exit
    if(halconnection->isValid())
    {
        Logger::instance()->threadLogDebug(QString(__FUNCTION__),QString("%1").arg(__LINE__),"Dbus interface correctly created");
    } else
        Logger::instance()->threadLogDebug(QString(__FUNCTION__),QString("%1").arg(__LINE__),"Dbus interface problem");
 
    QDBusReply<QStringList> allDevicesReply = halconnection->call("GetAllDevices");
    allDevicesReply.isValid() ?     Logger::instance()->threadLogDebug(QString(__FUNCTION__),QString("%1").arg(__LINE__),"All devices were recieved") :
                                    Logger::instance()->threadLogDebug(QString(__FUNCTION__),QString("%1").arg(__LINE__),"Cannot receive all devices");

---

where :

// Hal constants
#define HAL_SERVICE "org.freedesktop.Hal"
#define HAL_PATH "/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager"
#define HAL_INTERFACE "org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager"
#define HAL_DEVICE_INTERFACE "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device"

this all works graeat but i have problem at this point:

Code:

---

...
 qDebug() << "connection to hal DeviceAdded: "<<halconnection->connection().connect(HAL_SERVICE,HAL_PATH,HAL_INTERFACE,
                                                        "DeviceAdded",this,SLOT(addNewDevice(const QString&)));
    qDebug() << "connection to hal DeviceRemoved: "<< halconnection->connection().connect(HAL_SERVICE,HAL_PATH,HAL_INTERFACE,
                                                        "DeviceRemoved",this,SLOT(removedDevice(const QString&)));
    qDebug() << "connection to hal is connected: " << halconnection->connection().isConnected();
    qDebug() << "connection to hal is valid: " << halconnection->isValid();

---

this is the output:

Code:

---

connection to hal DeviceAdded:  false 
connection to hal DeviceRemoved:  false 
connection to hal is connected:  true 
connection to hal is valid:  true

---

so i can't connect to the dbus and when a new device is attached my program is never advised by dbus...
the class is called hub and have as super type QThread...
can any help me??

ps. all code compile well... but the problem is at runtime :(

Use:

Code:

---

connect(QString(), QString(), HAL_INTERFACE, "DeviceAdded", this, SLOT(addNewDevice(QString)));

---

instead of

Code:

---

connect(HAL_SERVICE,HAL_PATH,HAL_INTERFACE, "DeviceAdded",this,SLOT(addNewDevice(const QString&)));

---

and so on.

i have used this:

Code:

---

qDebug() << "connection to hal DeviceAdded: "<<halconnection->connection().connect(QString(),QString(),HAL_INTERFACE,
                                                        "DeviceAdded",this,SLOT(addNewDevice( QString)));

---

but the output is the same:(

Code:

---

connection to hal DeviceAdded:  false 
connection to hal DeviceRemoved:  false 
connection to hal is connected:  true 
connection to hal is valid:  true

---

i have just re-read my last post.. i have wring pasted the code... i'm sorry..

the code is:

Code:

---

qDebug() << "connection to hal DeviceAdded: "<< halconnection->connection().connect(QString(HAL_SERVICE), 
QString(HAL_PATH), QString(HAL_INTERFACE), 
QString("DeviceAdded"), this, SLOT(addNewDevice(const QString)));

---

but the problem are the same... is doesn't conect to the dbus signal and return false..

any can explain me where i'm wrong??

i also tryed this:

Code:

---

qDebug() << "connection to hal DeviceAdded: "<< halconnection->connection().connect(QString(), QString(), HAL_INTERFACE,
                                                        "DeviceAdded", this, SLOT(addNewDevice(QString)));

---

where the define od device added in .h file is:

Code:

---

private slots:
    void addNewDevice(QString deviceUdi);

---

following the API REFERENCE:

bool QDBusConnection::connect ( const QString & service, const QString & path, const QString & interface, const QString & name, QObject * receiver, const char * slot )

Connects the signal specified by the service, path, interface and name parameters to the slot slot in object receiver. The arguments service and path can be empty, denoting a connection to any signal of the (interface, name) pair, from any remote application.

Returns true if the connection was successful.

but the output is always the same:

Code:

---

connection to hal DeviceAdded:  false 
connection to hal is connected:  true 
connection to hal is valid:  true

---

i have really need of help, i have tried out all combination of arguments with the same result...

i have controlled with:

Code:

---

[matteo@devel Build]$ qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager

where i can see the signal...
i doesn't know where i can search/try for this... :confused:
