Not in Microb, but a few changes to the X server have been put in place. May be some helps speeding up rendering and / or scrolling .

For sure Xournal benefitted from those changes.
Writing on it, is much more fast and accurate now.

Looks X is better in keeping up with the number of events when drawing/writing with the pen.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

It seems that after the upgrade the "ghost lines" problem in mypaint became worse.

When I lift the stylus in mypaint and put it down somewhere else on the screen, both points are being connected with a line.

This did happen before, too. But only oocasionally. Now it happens almost every second time I chage the position of the stylus in mypaint.

Can anybody confirm this?

Maybe this is related to the X server changes?

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Thanks for that, it worked. Then of course I got the 'not enough space' error.

Thanks for the tip :).

Installing now. Hopefully it all goes ok :D

We went through this after the last update, but any word yet on getting the sliderotate working again? tx

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Just wondering when the news will make it to the front page, like all previous updates? Reggie?

Some people might find it reassuring, especially since this time around there seems to be very few if any failed SSU updates. ;)

(Besides, the flashable image of this update is available from Nokia's download site; something that wasn't apparent to me until I found a message about it in this thread)

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

okay, so i finally was able to upgrade but now things are bit hinky. after the update i restored my backups and restarted. when i boot to my cloned os i find that my connection icon is missing from the status bar. it is there on my flash partition but not on my cloned partition. is there any way to get it back there? i tried adding through the control panel > panels > status bar but it is greyed out and i'm unable to activate it. any help?

thanks in advance for all you guys' help getting this update to work.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

well, it's gone badly for me. firstly, I had the bluez problem, but a manual "apt-get install bluez-utils" removed the bluez-utils-test and fixed that.

Then it complained about osso-icons-default not being upgradeable - no repository found containing it. I checked /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list and a backup copy I'd made and re-added the line
That fixed that. It still didn't install the update from app mgr, saying lack of memory which I know to be wrong, so back to the command line. This is what I have at the moment:
So then...
I'm tempted to give up, make two backups to separate SD cards and flash from scratch. Ironically only a few days ago my ubuntu-loving colleague was moaning about suse (we use on servers) saying how much he loved ubuntu and its reliable package management. sigh.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Two days. Still no update prompt. I've tried the App Manager. The Nokia System repository is enabled. I'm re-reading this thread to see what might be the problem and what the fix is. I think I also had this issue last time.

Got this and also noticed about 20m of memory gobbled up.

The device info indicates the 5.2008.43-7 is running, but did some sort of clean up fail?

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

No, it just outputs that because you've updated it from the CLI using APT. If you close that terminal you won't see these warnings and errors anymore.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Maybe you editted the specific rc script. If it is editted it won't be touched by default during upgrade. Purge mediaplayer-daemon and install it again.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

no, this time round, I've not tweaked the tablet much at all, but your idea's a good-un.

--edit-- there's a huge dependency tree under mediaplayer-daemon. however, because I marked it and a bunch of other things as requested for delete and then unmarked, it allowed the dpkg--configure to work its magic. Hmm, well, App Manager reports nothing available, and apt-get-upgrade now reports nothing new, am still on 4.2008.36-5 :-(

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Its always nice to blame the user having modded their device ;). Did this suggestion solve the issue??

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

ok, after much ranting and messing about, using dpkg-r to mark packages for removal and then reinstalling them with "dpkg --reinstall install xxx", I finally reached the point where nothing was blocked upgrading and nothing was (autoremove) was going to be removed by accident. Couldn't remember what package it was that would actually do the version upgrade, so searched for rx34 and found it, did "apt-get --reinstall install osso-software-version-rx34-unlocked" and it's all done.

phew!

BTW, my apt sources looks like this:
is that correct?

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

There is a problem with /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d which is run by metalayer-crawler upgrade (and supld, and most other daemons) in the debian pre/post inst/rm scripts. They can't stop/start the daemon and fail so it will constantly say it isn't configured.

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3938

and

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3948

explain the problem in gory detail, but within the script it is doing a "ls -Q" which quotes the filename, but the busybox xargs leaves the quotes on, so instead of testing file xyz, it is testing "xyz" (with the quotes as part of the filename) which fails.

I can think of several fixes, but I don't know if it would work across all calling scripts and packages.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Keep in mind a custom kernel you might have installed is overwritten, so such might also influence (perceived) speed of the device.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

After some more checking, having a real "ls" can break the install (not just the xargs).

If in an xterm you can type "ls -Q" and it returns a list of files in quotes, it will break installs. If it gives a usage and bad option message, it will work (it is still broken but in a way that usually ends up working).

FYI, NB#86574 is a fake bug, remembering everytime to integrate some stuff when releasing. So no information I can leak here. :-P

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Updated my n810 without any issues, however when I dug my n800 out and tried to update it, it complained about some docs package that I've never heard of being required.
Looks like the update has a dependency on one of the previous OS updates, which is annoying. Guess I'll just re-flash this one from scratch, nothing on this device anyway.

Manually updated. The left side of my touchscreen is very inaccurate now. Is this a software or hardware problem?

edit: Could this be due to the screen rotation kernel?

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

This came right in time for me to clean install as opposed to update. And it worked like a charm that way. In fact, the battery life has improved from my last update, as well as it seems about two steps faster in the menus and browsing. And I thought the last update brought the speed up a bit.

I didn't restore from backup, just installed much less and so far, so good.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

I may have to try this. My N800 would NOT last 24 hrs now. I HAVE to plug it in 2X a day, yes, 2 X a day, with my normal use.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Yes, xserver optimizations from 5.2008.43-7 improve fonts rendering speed and graphics blitting operations. This results in some small performance improvement practically everywhere, and in the browser too.

But the application which should benefit the most is fennec browser from mozilla. It should get a huge performance boost once/if they switch from 24bpp to 16bpp rendering.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

I've been dealing with some medical issues of my mom's for the past few weeks, so I have not been able to read through this thread. Has anyone else successfully updated SD (with osso version test in xterm confirming successful update) only to have 43-7 Unlocked remain an option in the list of as-yet uninstalled updates?

It's precisely what I'm looking for. Thanks bun.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Since you've been out, let me fill you in about this 43-7update.

If you want to be absolutely sure, you can try this, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=25673.

So far, I gather, the SSU update from 36-5 to 43-7 is fine on N810. However, if you have 30-2 or even earlier version, SSU will make you go thru each one of them, apparantly, you cannot jump version. And sure, I have 'phobia' about the version that requires user manuals document (36-5?). (I could be wrong on this one). There are sporadic reports that SSU update on N800 is NOT that smooth. Again, depends on how you look at things.

So far, my update is fine, I go thru flash, but now I gained more than I want. I need to plug my N800 2X a day, the battery would NOT last for more than 12 hr. I switched with a brand new Nokia battery, no dice. same problem :(

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Reliability is not hardware-dependent. N800s and N810s will both update just fine as long as people don't screw around with their installs.

All osv's prior to 43-7 depended on the documentation.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

[QUOTE=GeneralAntilles;252677]Reliability is not hardware-dependent. N800s and N810s will both update just fine as long as people don't screw around with their installs.

Well, I speak from what I read. So far, ALL the reported SSU problems are from N800s, I have yet to see even ONE from N810. Can we say N800 owner 'screw around' more often than N810 owner? Or simply there are just MORE N800s around than N810? Anyhow, my N810 is still running 24-13, and I am NOT interested to go thru 30-2, 36-5 then 43-7, especially the reported 'reboot loop', I guess reflash is my only option.

Perhaps I'm misreading. You mean the User Manuals?

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

Yes, preinstalled-documentation-rx*4. It weighs in at around 20MB and would cause SSU updates to fail when the system ran out of space while updating.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

For better or worse, SSU wont even allow you to upgrade, "SSU features upgrade ..... RX44 documentations missing."

My N810 is running 24-13 on int flash and dual boot to 43-7. I made a clone from my N800 and stuck it in the N810. Interesting, uh?

Not particularly, no. They're the same hardware running practically the same software, of course swapping that software from one to the other will work.

Re: SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available
 

I feel that battery life has improved. Visiting relatives, over the last few days I would have been bored to death without it*, so I'd be online from about 11am (using jabber/googletalk), rss reading, a bit of web browsing, and battery didn't run out till 9pm. Wifi set to moderate power saving, and wifi signal strength very good so I guess it was able to throttle back.

However, when I watched a few videos on videocenter the battery died within an hour!

* when it got really hectic on boxing day (26th) I went and "hid" in a back bedroom and did a system upgrade on my laptop from suse11 to suse11.1.
