Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default
 

As promised, I've pushed the Diablo packages for Browser Switchboard 3.2 into Extras.

I've also pushed the Fremantle packages into Extras-testing for the first time. If you feel this package meets the extras-testing QA criteria (see the link), please vote for it in the extras-testing queue! (If you don't, please do let me know what needs improving, either on this thread or via email.)

Excellent, a reboot were required(it updated while showing the nokia logo), and now the Ovi Store shortcut works as expected, nice.
Also the MicroB shortcut is seen now, I prefer it while watching Youtube vids(I should really download the separate app for that).
Overall, great update!

Works perfectly just what I wanted Firefox is now default! Thanks.

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default
 

Hey I need some help with uninstalling browser switchboard. Unfortunately even after uninstalling the application, the 'browser switchboard' settings option in settings keeps flashing up for a couple of seconds then dissappearing. I have tried rebooting and 'apt-get clean' in xterm with no luck; I even re-installed it thinking maybe I forgot to set the default browser back to micro-b before uninstalling and nothing. Can you please offer your assistance? Thank you very much

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default
 

If you uninstall browser-switchboard microb will be the default browser again.

In xterm as root you can try to uninstall browser switchboard AND to remove the depending config files using:
apt-get purge browsr-switchboard

Maybe then you can reinstall it with more success?

On the other hand it also could be a bug in the settings section of maemo. I have the same problem wih the "Mail for Exchange" configuaration icon as you can read in this bug:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9512

Please vote for it and lets hope that someone can investigate it or at least ask the right questions to find out what's wrong.

HTH jukey

rm -f /home/user/.cache/launch/com.nokia.controlpanel.pvr

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default
 

What does this do? Deleting the image shown on application startup? That was the only thin I noticed after executing this command.

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default
 

Yes: the image is recreated when the control panel is next started. The only reason Jayboy5 is seeing a disappearing Browser Switchboard icon is because the image hasn't been updated.

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default
 

Well, thanks for the explanation. I misunderstood the posting completely - but anyway... I learned where application startup images are stored. :)

Ugh, ANOTHER spectacularly ugly (and somewhat broken) hack to deal with.

Would it be acceptable behavior to remove this file in the package prerm, or should I just let Nokia fix the bug at whatever glacial pace it decides?
