Re: Canola and Diablo
 

wartstew : please read the previous post in this same thread. The problem is related to the new way diablo / maemo are going to work, and some packages are being changed in the servers in several components. So we cannot guarantee a stable build now.

I noticed one more bug - i cant control the volume when playing an mp3 using the touch screen anymore, when i press on the volume bar it drops to zero. I can increase the volume with the zoom buttons though - anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Canola and Diablo
 

Over: we are not even looking into "bugs" because there's not a Diablo build. So only when we officially compile with Diablo, with Python's final version for Diablo and so on we will start accepting bugs from it.

*PS : again : things will "change" "out of nothing" because software versions are being uploaded to diablo's repos. So please be aware that the experience will be this.. a mix of emotions :)

Sorry, i used the incorrect terminology, instead of 'bug' i meant 'incompatibility'

Re: Canola and Diablo
 

Over: No problem :) Just telling you that what you have installed is by no means, a Diablo version of canola :) it's a "hack" :)

Re: Canola and Diablo
 

i feel like such a newbie, but i have tried to download the extras needed to run canola in diablo from the links in the beginning of the post but i can't seem to figure out what or how to download the extras. could someone dumb it down for me?

thanks much

Re: Canola and Diablo
 

Beatnik: you don't " need " to download.
Just go to your application installer. Then in the menu, search for application catalogues.

You're going to see one "extras" or " maemo extras" that is disabled. click on it to edit it, and enable it.. you just need to add the name chinook to the distribution input.

Save, refresh and then try again

BUT: remember what we have been saing : this is not a recommended diablo version, it's a hack, and diablo packages are being generated for all applications and components, so you WILL face problems.

Man This is ****ED UP! I'm going to sell my N810 and buy something that is ORGANIZED like an iPhone 3G! I always wondered about this "open source" stuff and also wondered if it wasn't a crock of **** with a bunch of undisciplined hackers adding layer upon layer of shitty and buggy software. Well this is swayiing me towards thinking that the disciplined way of apple and their upcoming app store is the way to go. Makes things a lot easier for both users and developers.

Re: Canola and Diablo
 

thanks i'll give that a try, i will keep in mind what you say about it not being recommended. i have a cloned chinook os on sd with working canola so i would just be experimenting with trying it with canola in diablo.

Re: Canola and Diablo
 

Go ahead. Enjoy the two year contract that comes with it.
