1) Add the chinook extras repo in the application catalogue:

2) Run an 'apt-get -f install' as root on the tablet

Same experience here, once I identified the proper repositories, and ran 'apt-get -f install' seems to have fixed most of my issues. They should have made those instructions a sticky.

The paucity of 'broken' apps listed thread is actually demonstrating the opposite point. I want to make it clear that my experience with Diablo has been excellent and the developers are to be commended for a significant improvement (at no cost to us, btw) in the NIT.

I have had no* apps that are 'broken' under Diablo. Gpodder works fine. Canola2 and USB control work also. SimpleLauncher transparency has been broken since the previous firmware flash. AdBlock plus works for me as well (better, perhaps, since it doesn't seem to slow things down as it once did).

*OMWeather was 'down' for a week or so till the developer got back from vacation.

Several times now, already, I've taken advantage of the 'auto-update' (is that what we call it?) feature. This makes updating pretty easy, an, imho, it would be nice if developers would put their app in maemo/extras to improve the updating experience for the users. This is not a complaint...I'm just sayin...

OMWeather has just been updated. Settings works.

I'm with Greyghost... I've had no issues, other than OM Weather, but that one was quickly updated and I required more information for installing Mitter 0.3 and rotating the screen.

I was made aware about uninstalling the gizmo, skype and rhapsody-installer killing a portion of the system updates; again a place where this community came in and helped once I took the time to search.

The apps are all updating/installing for me... which reading the continued issues, I don't know if I'm lucky or just followed all of the hints that have been dropped here by helpful members like qwerty12, et al.

Good luck to all in this thread.

Yes, I have to add that I do follow the forums closely, so I was helped out by many helpful members here.

I may have been lucky but my owe my easy transition to many here who helped me avoid the pitfalls. Thanks!

I am a newbie to Linux. Last week I upgraded to Diablo. It was my third reflashing since I bought it last March. The only thing I had to adjust was the missing Chinook Extras repository. That was all. No problems getting all of my old apps running again within minutes (except for OM Weather, that continued working from the restore but crashed if I entered into the setting section. But now it is fixed too).

Very nice upgrade process, comparing to others I suffered in 'Windows World'.

Ah, thanks Bundyo. :o

It's a good thing I have 2 N800s so I can tinker with Diablo on one while still having a fully functional, customized, and decked to the hilt other one.
