Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!

The browser is definitely snappier. On my WLAN, some pages now load instantly (light stuff like Google's homepage) and even the heavy ones like amazon.com show improvement.

Well, no one reported about it, and being such a complete source of information, as many others, I mostly rely on the forum for such a news.

I take my chance to say "thank you" to fanoush for his precious work, he is one of the pillars of this community.

For the record, I have same problem. I'll try reflashing soon.

Same problem here :( keeps on rebooting :/. Blue bar reaches 80% then LED flashes 3 times and reboots again.

there are small differences in linuxrc script which is patched by bootmenu. The difference seems to be only related to RX-48 device (i.e. the wimax N810).

So if you need it fast, just extract current initfs flasher and symlink (or even just rename) all those whatever.2008-29.xxx file versions to 2008-36 like

Code:

mv initfs.2008-29.tgz initfs.2008-36.tgz

...

Then it should install.

Or wait for proper update with real patched -36 linuxrc this evening (~ 5 hours from now).

The full linuxrc difference is

> load_omap_hwrng_module

so the code does something different (seeding random number generator) only for RX-48 device and old linuxrc version should be safe for plain N810 or N800.

EDIT: umm, in fact it looks like it calls this for everything except RX-48 (if [ $? -ne 0 ]) so let's better wait :-) Maybe it will still work but random numbers will have worse quality.

Especially the non-working AUTO-UPDATE-INBOX function... ;-)

My initial use of Modest shows the same condition. Auto-update does not work (for me).

Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!

update didn't go as planned for me. Broke boot from sd (which was expected), but the backup I did just before updating doesn't seem to work. The only thing I get back when restoring is bookmarks. Applications(list) is gone, so I have to reinstall from scratch...
Anyone else experiencing this? (and yes, I did remember to back everything up)

What can I say more than thank you! If you pass by, here in Warsaw, it will be a pleasure to offer you a beer and a nice walk in the castle of Natolin's park (wonderful even if not very famous).

Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!

wth, I'm getting an error message :

Unable to update OS2008 Feature upgrade
Conflict with application packages: adobe-flashplayer (>=2.51-2)

How do I work around this?

Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!

I got the same error, so I uninstalled that little patch for the flash-version that I installed the other day. After that it worked.

Reflashing brought the device back to life, and updating the clean device worked as expected.
