Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Quick note for the uninitiated: Your settings are stored in .canola, so that will kill your list of podcast feeds, media directories... that sort of thing. .canola is stored when you run the backup tool, but probably the safest way to poke at this kind of fix without permanently losing settings is to just rename .canola to something else.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Works great so far..... can't wait for the coverart downloader to be added/working again.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Once I removed .canola (heh, good bye my covers and other stuff...) - it works again, as expected. I tried new cool feature "album merging" - but still quite a few albums are not merged (they are not detected as "duplicated")

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Nice job guys. The option to do away with searching for media each time Canola starts is a huge plus. Appreciate all the effort put into this great program.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Yes, I had to remove my .canola as well. Glad to report OGG playback is great! Canola has been broken for me since Diablo came out. Glad to have it back.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

One minor complain - The compilations are not getting any covers now (I've never really payed any attention, but i think the "Compilation" text is now replacing the Artist name and before i think it was Album name).

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

2 feature requests:
1. Would it be possible when in "Play random" mode to be able to switch instantly to play the album of the current song? If I listen random songs, I suddenly decide I'd feel like listening the entire album of the current song - I have to get to "Albums" list, find the one, turn it on etc... Not comfortable.
2. Would it be possible to provide a button "display all mp3 tags (and full path perhaps?) of the current song".
Thanks.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

For me it works without problem so far, Thanks to the Canola Team for this great piece of Software!

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Hi, thanks for a great update.
I still have a problem with the covert art update : it stops when it encounters accented characters (éèà ...) in the album title (at least).
It suppose the plugin crashes in the background but Canola wontinues without problemo ;)

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

I don't know..... I'm tempted to say uninstall everything canola related, then reinstall canola 10, then run an apt-get upgrade but that's just really a stab in the dark.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

sounds like canola can't find a required plugin or module...

do you just installed the canola package in the package manager before?

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

What do you guys mean when you say the source will be open? Will it be under a Free license (GPL or BSD or something)? And why are you waiting before changing it. There are plenty developers on maemo that would be happy to fix your bugs.

The current license sucks in multiple ways. But the two practical problems for me are that I'm not allowed to install it on more than one tablet and that I can make only one backup copy of it. I always have several copies of my backups. I'm not accepting this license.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Yeah, our plans are to release Canola and all the other closed-source components under a Free Software License. We won't create yet another license, we will use one of the available out there.

Unfortunately, it is not just releasing code, we need the whole infrastructure set before it can happen, to name a few: A developer website with documentation, Bug tracker, SCM and so on. All to support the community around our project.

Sorry about that. We are not the ones responsible for that decision. I I was, it would be under GPL/LGPL since the very beginning. Now that we have the chance, let us work to fix it.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

This latest beta works much better than the previous one on my N810. Thank you, keep up the good work guys !! :)

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

After updating to Canola Beta 10, I lost utube and flicker plug-in support.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

How do you upgraded conola beta10, even it isn't available now
(except of the "dummy"-package in extras-devel)

Have you deactivated this repository before you upgraded canola?
If not just use canola-cleanup to remove it.
Then just reinstall canola ;)

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

The flickr plugin won't work with this release. We've changed some bits within our infrastructure which demands some modifications in the plugin package. I've asked the plugin owner to take a look at it in the Canola-flickr thread. Let's hope he finds some time to do it.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Update seemed to go well.

Don't see a lot changed but performance seems to be improved. Two things I noticed though:
1) There seems to be a grumbling/low frequency popping sound that now comes through my speakers when Canola is between songs. During song playback it is fine but when song is done or paused, I hear a grumble that was not there in previous versions. It is not noticeable through the internal N810 speakers but when hooked up to external amplified speakers. **** Sorry ... my bad ... this has nothing to do with Canola as it is there even when Canola is not loaded. It is just the USB charging that I am doing that seems to be causing a lot of line noise. ****

2) In Cover Art 2 row view, I used to be able to scroll through the albums by dragging along the bottom of the screen beside the back button but now that area is dead. I used to do that to avoid accidental selection of an album. Admittedly, after playing with it now, that accidental album selection is much improved so it may not be an issue. I was just wondering if that was intentional.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Since updating to Diablo, ogg-support-lightmediascanner won't install for me. It is complaining about the wrong version of lightmediascanner lib being available. Any insight on how to get around that?

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

I have all the latest plugins. WHen i start canola i only see audio, photos and settings. There is no last fm, youtube, upnp.
what do i do?

i uninstalled canola and reinstalled it yesterday night with the latest verision.

Thanks

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

I am in the identical boat. I think being able to run canola cleanup would solve the problem. However, after it is installed, it does not appear in the extra menus to run. I think the only way to get it working immediately is to reflash (since I don't know how to run cleanup manually).

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

in X Terminal get root
and then run canola from commandline, too. then see if all the plugins have reapeared..

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

The new canola beta seems much more responsive (subjective as I reflashed today) and the new youtube plugin is great. Thanks for such a great app.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

It seems that for me maybe sliderotate (which I have installed & working fine under the latest diablo) might be interfering with my update. I get the error 'unable to update canola' because application packages are missing: kernel-diablo-flasher, xserver-xomap & pytho2.5-terra. I tried removing all things canola manually to no avail. How exactly does canola-cleanup work? I can't seem to get it to do anything. TX

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Guys,
I've just notified etrunko about the cleanup, and he's taking a look right now :) so please wait a little bit, and we will have a newer, working version that you can try. The messier your device is, the better: )

We are finally reaching the release level.(no apparent segfault-crashing-critical bugs) and only minor issues.

BR

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Yup, I've just found the problem but haven't found the solution yet... It's a dependency issue and should be pretty easy to fix.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

That sounds great.

I think read-only version control and a bug tracker (to submit patches) is all you need to get started. Everything else can follow later.

Yeah, it's usually the legal department and managers making those decisions. But I'm really glad to hear the plans are there and the developers have the right spirit :)
And thanks for answering all the questions here.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Fixed the cleanup. It was missing libosso-dev as build dependency. Already uploaded to the builder. The version 0.1.8-maemo3 should be available in a few minutes.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Loaded the most recent cleanup 0.1.8-maemo2. Cannot find in extras in order to run.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Works for me now. Thanks! :)

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

The version which works is 0.1.8-maemo3. Available right now.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

In application manager, when I browse installable applications I only see 0.1.8-maemo2. How can I download 0.1.8-maemo3? From Maemo.org?

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

Hi Den,

just refresh your application catalog (check for updates) and after that try to install the new version of canola-cleanup.

Br.

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

acosta,
Thanks, did clean-up and installed Canola beta10

Re: Canola2 Beta 10
 

I just got around to spending some time with the latest Canola and my only issue is with youtube videos being out of video/voice sync again. They were working fine with the previous Canola beta, or at least I seem to remember fixing this issue with an older version of Mplayer, but I ended up upgrading that to the latest version without sync issues, now they're back. Is everyone running the latest Mplayer version and dealing with any sync issues or am I back to square one trying to remember how I solved this issue the first time by possibly going back to one of the earlier builds once again.
