If bugs are corrected in the current testing version, without any new features being added, will the sub-version number be altered? How does one preserve main version and allow increments in sub-version?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 
Hi again, i see on the Community SSU/Changelog (Testing) that HAM have potrait view, and in the Community SSU/ChangelogStable say in HAM NONE.

I'm asking because mine stay at landscape view, is this normal?

Greetings.

HAM in stable onle goes to portrait if you have the /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/ui_can_rotate set to true

I thought that will be like PDF and calculator that do it (potrait) "by default".

So my options are leafpad/etc and change to true (transitions.ini, right)? Another option?

Thanks.

Greetings.

merlin1991 2011-11-28 01:30

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 
no other option, but it's not leafpad but a gconf key, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/...hildon-desktop

Saw it but don't understand it, i mean, open xterminal and put that?

By the way, i have status-area-orientationlock-applet intalled, and the only thing doesn't "change" was Task Switcher, well rotate to potrait but the apps got the X up, it should be on right side, right?.

Like this:


Desktop goes potrait and i rearrange my widgets with status-area-orientationlock-applet.

Greetings.

merlin1991 2011-11-28 01:58

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 
okay with the status area lock applet you enabled that specific key (the lock applet sets/unsets that key and another one)

yes you would have had to put it into xterm otherwise

and no that task switcher is actually right portrait task switcher looks like that

Ok i will, wierd thing i check the gconf settings (filebox) and say:

entry name="ui_can_rotate".........type="bool" value="true".

So is just like it needs, but anyway, i'm going to do it like Community SSU/FeaturesStable says., hoping the HAM goes potrait.

Thanks for your time.

Greetings.

Edit: Done, HAM goes potrait now, thanks a lot.

While I wanted to uninstall Advanced power monitor it wanted to uninstall severall other apps as oppposite to HAM which did it properly. HAM is slow bud does things as it should.

Did you download PR 1.3.1 Image from Navifirm? If so Is it Genuine or Stable to Flash with Navifirm Image?

I don't know since I'm no CSSU developer.But some version number has to be altered to ship updates.

In Debian one modifies the version number of a package by editing the control file. Whatever tool is used in Maemo for package building eventually it will do the same.

Check which repository ("community-*") is given in HAM.

Congrats to all on the release of the stable CSSU. It took a ton of hard work - development, packaging, community coordination, coordination with Nokia, etc. Kudos!

Looking at http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable , I'm a bit baffled. These are all neat GUI tweaks, sure. But for those who don't really care about, say, vertical apps - does the current version of the CSSU bring any benefits over stock maemo?

It fixes a 100% cpu hildon-desktop bug
a x-term bug where enter didn't behave
a bug where a desktop shortcut would open 2 browser windows
a bug in apt where apt would choke on packages in a non user/* seciton
bugs in PDF Reader:
PDF Reader doesn't support internal document hyperlinks
PDF Reader page up should go to Bottom of Previous Page (instead of Top)
PDF Reader doesn't use optimal screen width in fit width mode

and the list goes on

The features page on the wiki is about stuff you can configure to your liking, but is in no way a complete list of features of the cssu.

I guess you refer to this libvte4 bug: [1]
Unfortunately that fix seems to bring another bug because of other applications expecting the erratic libvte4 behavior: [2]
So it seems like even when using the stable CSSU one should weigh the pros and cons that come with the changes.

Therefore:

You forgot the subtle true differences from T to S, e.g MP. Also nota bene there's e.g camera-ui from stock in S right now, you'll not get rid of the nicocam in T and esp not get back stock cam, when switching repo. See changelog.
bottom line: no, it won't really work as it should.

I guess my post was not clear enough. Of course I'm aware that the current stable CSSU won't replace any testing packages.
But assuming that there will be a stable CSSU v2 (or v3 or v4...) some day that includes all packages that are now in testing, switching from testing to stable now should give you a system with stable CSSU when v2 is released.
By that time testing will have received lots of updates so switching to stable has to be done before these updates are made in testing.

If that doesn't work it would imply that there are packages in testing that will never reach stable. Is that the case?

No that is not the case, but as you wrote in your earlier post

What you suggested will work just fine, but you have to know what you're doing. That's why Joe average should reflash and install stable then to have a "clean" system state where if he needs help people can make assumptions about the packges installed from cssu.

I'm facing this problem but there is no PC suite for linux to my knowledge. What can I do? Is there any way to work-around this?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 
I just wanted to point out that I love that the orientation applet for stable CSSU is mace optional and seperately downlowdable - this optionality will be included in the testing versions as well, yes, when next testing CSSU rolls out (currently it wants to uninstall the entire cssu metapackage since it's still marked as a dependency for the testing version of the cssu)?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 
so whats the easy and simple way to enable AND disable portrait mode for the desktop? and only the desktop?

i remember the last time i enabled portrait mode, i ended up reflashing the device because a) it would rotate ALL the apps and b) i wasnt able to disable it at all.

basically, i want portrait mode on the desktop, but every other app should decide by itself and not be forced to rotate if it usually doesnt.

You can blacklist apps if you dont want to see them in portrait mode
Boemien made a great tread about this here
So if you enable forced rotation and add the apps you don't want to rotate, just put them in the blacklist, best of both worlds :)

There is a reason why it is only mentioned on the testing thread and also why it is not mentioned in http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable
The version of hildon-home in Stable does not poperly support this, the patch will be added when it matured enough (current version in testing has problems adding image sets)

So I can only tell you to reflash, that features isn't yet supported in stable.
