Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

@jazzbass add the fbreader repo if you're running chinook

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Very nice!!!

I'm a happy man right now. But, how do you create photos lists and download covers?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

damn... this installation takes time, can't wait to see it...

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

zeez....Thanks, Chinook seems to of worked..Just waititng for the cumbersome long download....
Thanks again

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Just a thanks to handful and everyone at IDT, the look and feel is outstanding.

As I'm to understand it, this is still the beta and I'd like ask or comment on a few of the features and impressions that I've found while I've had playing with it just for the past few mins.

1-Under Video and also in the setup, I see no place to add Videocasts, (though it seems one can do this in the Podcast and Podcast setup) is this Nokia's or Canola's descision to keep Canola somewhat seperate from VideoCenter, or since this is understandably still the beta, just a feature (menu item) not yet added ?

2.-When downloading Podcasts and or Videocasts, it seems that it errors out quite often/or quickly, is this a case of an "adjustable" time-out issue ? So the app, does not hang unintentionally ?

If so is there or will there be a setting for the user to manually change it ?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

I am the only one experiencing very sloooooow downloads ? even from the Canola repo ?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Nope, mine was really slow and for a few mins I thought for sure it would error out but then it installed, patience (for which I have none) I guess has been a very useful thing these past few days with the repositories.. :cool:

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Nope mate, ur not alone :(
its taking AGES !!!
looks like we're *alot* wanting this...:D
even more that the official OS 2008 :eek:

it has just downloaded just downloaded over 1/20 of the 6.38Mb...:(
really cant wait !

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Wow... unbelievable... how many tablets are out there this christmas!
whatever one tries to download gets stuck...

And it's only 10Mb!!! (even less)

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Damn servers must be down or under heavy traffic. Any mirrors?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

anidel: Look on the bright side; at least you have the opportunity of installing it at all. It's really agonizing to have seen videos of it running on the 770, see that it's been released, and yet find out that while everyone else gets to play with it finally, 770 users are still out of luck. :(

(Not angry or anything. Just sad. Very, very sad.)

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

I am installing it also on a 770 with latest HE.
I'll report how it behaves.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Trying to get it on the N810 ... servers are slammed but I'm just happy it's out!

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Canola2 is released, why this news is not on the frontpage?!?!?!?!

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

where exactly has the announcement been made?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

visit http://repository.maemo.org/extras/

it says "The service is temporarily unavailable. We are very sorry for the inconvinience it may cause."

LOL :D:D

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Oh finally they're working on it.
It was too weird. But I was not able to download my canola2 :/ shut :)

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

On the Canola2 web site.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

http://openbossa.indt.org/canola2/ Yes Canola2 beta is out, just installed it on my N800 with the OS 2008 beta :)

Because of current Nokia repository "package update" issues I temporarily switched each repository off in application manager, then downloaded base and Canola2 via the above address and the install options at bottom of this page http://openbossa.indt.org/canola2/install.html

Its slow atm but it works :)

---edit1---

It has been suggested by the Canola team that those familiar with IRC should join Freenode and #canola and then user thoughts can be immediately digested by the team.

For IRC I am using xchat2 on my XP PC and found it very easy to get up and running.

A beta of xchat is also available for the N800 and chinook which seems to work well, download here

---edit2---

If you find any bugs or have enhancement ideas report them here

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

for 770 "coming soon". I sure hope they can make it before leaving for Xmas holidays

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Can I download the .deb file somewhere else, please ?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

The opinion on IRC is that:

<marcelo> Arin: yes.. it sucks, but I think the servers will go full ok soon, and everyone will be able to test it

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

I've been testing it a bit now and I've got to say that I'm impressed. Really nice stuff. It would be good if the default setup would assume image and music indexing from all locations.

A little bit jerky at times, but wonderful! Kudos INdT!

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Oh my God, this application is so beautiful it makes me weep! Nice job, guys!

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Is anyone else having trouble adding media? I have it watching my music folder but it doesn't seem to be picking anything up?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

How the hell are you guys actually getting it to install? I'm on a dead-fresh install (no backup restore, just reinstalled the firmware and went straight to canola) and can't get anything other than a "installation file corrupted" on it.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Any of you guys that already have the package, care to share? I believe the Canola servers are being hammered (as is everything else these days). I've been trying to grab the package for over an hour to no avail :(

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

AArrrgh, the download window just sits there doing nothing, it drives me crazy.....
Dont tell me you guys did not anticipate this tidlewave of download requests.....

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

If I'm not mistaken, Canola is actually in the normal maemo.org repositories, so that's why it's so slow right now. I could be wrong though, but I'm halfway through with the download, and I'm not canceling it to check the repo list. :P

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Hi Konttori,

Actually while this works for a lot of users, at least in the bet we are avoiding it because we don't want photos to index maps, or some hidden stuff.. this was REALLY a serious problem in the first version and a lot of people complained, also this made the loading / database time go really high. For me, as interaction designer hurts to do that because I want the best experience for the user. But at the same time... if a bad thing happens people can be really mean (like on canola1)

We actually didn't have time to fully optimize it, but I think we will reduce the jerkyness, also there's some spots on the screen where we placed a special scroll that doesn't work the way it should (duh)

Rcadden : looks that the repositories still down : / or not working properly but they are Maemo's so we cannot "mess" with those servers, but for sure the maemo guys are working to put it back in full order it was like that yesterday.

Abs

Marcelo

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Can some one start a torrent for the .deb file ?
Like they did for the new IT2008 os...

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

if I had it, I would.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

In Settings, I have clicked on the 'view' icon on a folder that has images on my memory card. I saw the refreshing library message. From the main page, I hit Photos->My Photos and it says No Items Found.

Same with videos. I know that the internal Video Clips folder contain the Nokia N810 ad video but Canola can't find it.

Anything I'm missing?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

One thing you are not missing, Reggie, is the .deb file.
Can you please upload it somewhere ?

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Before it was at least attempting to download the file. Now in app manager, it's not even doing that.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Canola installation failed after about 20 minutes... will try once more and then give up till the servers are fixed.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Ok, for some reason, it's fixed! I wonder what happened? :confused: The only difference is now I'm at the office and my wifi connection is now off.

Marcelo, the thumbnail loading is not bad at all. It's not slow at all.

Anyway, first bugs:
1. when watching a video, lower down volume to almost zero, press pause, and the hit play. Volume seems to go back to mid-level.
2. Can't find a way to watch the video in full screen. double tap doesn't work.

Some comments/suggestions:
1. Please add in settings, delay in seconds for the image slideshow.
2. Instead of an 'eye' icon for adding a folder to the library, why not use a '+' and a '-'. I didn't get it at first what the eye icon was.

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
 

Reggie: My experience was similar. For some reason, it seems to be doing something in the background after it scans your folders that keeps it from displaying the results for several minutes. For those of you where its not finding your media, let it sit for a few and check it again.
