Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

This is a new Canola update from today. I just installed it and my text is gone too. Will investigate when i get home...

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

I'm using chinook and lost text in canola2 today after a usual apt-get update/upgrade. Mostly libraries were involved in the upgrade, a bunch of libecore0- and libevas0- libraries and libeet1, libembryo0, libepeg0, libedjeo0, libimlib2, libepsilon0.

canola2 depends on efl-core, which in turn depends on several of these upgraded libraries.

do I need to downgrade libeet1 etc?

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

I have the same problem.

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Unless something has changed in the last couple of days, the Authors of Canola have indicated earlier in this thread that Canola is not working in Diable yet.

So you'll need to get by using other programs like mytube and videocenter for awhile.

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Same for xmms. Re-install diablo scared the problem, text reappeared.
Weird.

bun

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

The problem is not related to Diablo, but to the new update of the Canola libs. Hard to diagnose since no errors are reported in the log.

Re: Canola & No Text

i tried downgrading all the recent library updates to the minimum canola2 requires. This did not work. Perhaps I missed one somehow though.

I ran #apt-get install `cat canola_broken.txt`
where canola_broken.txt is attached

then restarted the n810 (just in case)

Still no text

this is for canola2_2.0.0~beta9-maemo1_all.deb

after this I also tried remove/install of canola2 to no avail

Having the same problem here.

At first, I thought the text dissapeared after I installed ogg-support-lightmediascanner... but after few tests it proved (or at least seemed to) have no effect on this.

Uninstalled everything with connection to Canola, even cleaned up settings... all to no avail.

Anyway, at least we can see the updates in status bar now. Hopefully one of them will fix it :-) .

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

hi,
Any idea how to fix this issue ? i uninstal all canola and next install canola last version still same problem.

thx

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Fixed:
libevas0 0.9.9.042-maemo4 is the problem, along with the loaders.

Downgrade to these packages:

Code:

libevas0-loaders-all_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

libevas0-loader-eet_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

libevas0-loader-jpeg_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

libevas0-loader-png_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

libevas0_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

and you're set.

That's the price of using extras-devel :) maemo4 is not propagated to extras, hence not too much people with this problem...

Find the packages here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...k/free/e/evas/
or here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...k/free/e/evas/

Re: Canola & No Text

i removed extras-devel from sources, upgraded (having previously downgraded many libs), got a new libevas0, and all is well. Thanks.

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Removed canola from applications.
used wget to get all above listed packages.
removed developer extras from source list
installed above packages using dpkg (using apt-get to fix any dependencies)
reinstalled canola2

worked :)

Thanks alot man!

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Can anyone outline (a bit more simply) how to downgrade/upgrade?

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

EDIT2: Ok so before you try all this, read Bundyo's post below this. If that doesn't work (unfortunately it wouldn't for me which is why i had to go the manual route :() then you can try the following.

I tried to be as clear as possible and cover anything that may go wrong so it may be a little long. If you want just the points, just look for the red bolded text..

---------------------------------------------------

OK so I'll try to make this a little more clear:

Basically, go into your applications manager and remove canola2 along with any plugins.

Now also remember to remove the developer extras repository from your source list. I believe you click the title bar in the application manager and click tools, and it should be in there. I'm not on my NIT at this time so i can't check quickly, but if you added it in, you should know how to disable it :)

Then connect to your terminal either through the built in one on the tablet, or what I like to do is ssh with the root login from another computer on the network.

Once in make sure you have root privileges. You will see this if the command prompt has a # sign instead of a $ sign. Be careful what you do as root as if your not, you can seriously screw things up. If you don't have root privileges, try searching around the forums to see how to get into root/super user mode. I beleive there was something called "gainroot" ... not too sure. I just create an ssh connection and log in as root with the password i created when it prompted me to when i was installing openSSH on my tablet.

from here you will need to do the following (there is probably an easier way then to wget the debs but i found this to be the most straightforward for me)

go into any folder on your n800, or maybe use the temp folder. It wont matter too too much since you'll probably delete these files after. It just makes it easier if your new at this if theres no other files in the folder.

to change directories:

Code:

cd [folder path]

OR if you just want to use the temp folder:

Code:

cd /tmp

OR if you want to create a temp folder in your user directory: (Probably the easiest way since you just need to delete that folder once your done)

Code:

 

cd /home/user/

mkdir temp

cd temp

now that you have your folder created and are in it, you can use wget to grab those packages.

try typing "wget" into the prompt and if it says that its not installed, just type

Code:

apt-get install wget

and say yes to all the prompts.

now type:

Code:

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/chinook/free/e/evas/libevas0-loaders-all_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/chinook/free/e/evas/libevas0-loader-eet_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/chinook/free/e/evas/libevas0-loader-jpeg_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/chinook/free/e/evas/libevas0-loader-png_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/chinook/free/e/evas/libevas0_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

this will download all the deb files to that folder.

now type

Code:

dpkg -i libevas0-loaders-all_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

if this doesn't work and it complains about unmet dependencies, type:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get -f install

now try again:

Code:

dpkg -i libevas0-loaders-all_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

if this works, you can do the same with the rest:

Code:

dpkg -i libevas0-loader-eet_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

dpkg -i libevas0-loader-jpeg_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

dpkg -i libevas0-loader-png_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

dpkg -i libevas0_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb

now go back to your NIT, and install canola2 from the application manager and cross your fingers. Don't install any plugins at this point until you're sure it works. Just saves time installing and uninstalling :)

Should work fine hopefully...

If i missed a step, or theres mistakes in my terminal commands let me know.

EDIT:

and I guess if you want to keep your NIT clean then don't forget to remove the deb files once its all done and working:

Code:

rm [name of deb file]

or if there the only files in that folder (BE VERY SURE THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY FILES, type "ls" to be sure)

Code:

rm *

or if they are the only deb files:

Code:

rm *.deb

if you created a temp folder and are currently inside that folder:

Code:

cd ..

rm -r temp

or replace temp with whatever folder you used. If you used the /tmp folder, please do yourself a favour and don't remove it :)

once again if there's any problems let me know, I'm currently late for work so i'll check this afternoon ;)

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Um, if he removes the extras-devel, wouldn't it be enough to just refresh the list and install canola back? ;)

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

I tried... for some weird reason it didn't work for me :( if that works for you guys then thats great :)

I was pulling my hair out last night because it wouldn't work like that for me so i finally decided to go through the above steps. Shouldn't take more then 3 minutes or so if you know what you're doing. The long part is waiting for canola to uninstall and reinstall.

The reason the above steps are so long is because i tried to explain every possible option. Quite simply its just:

remove canola2 and the source entry
ssh to your nit
wget the packages
install packages
reinstall canola2

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Guess you should type "apt-get install wget" instead of the simple "apt-get wget" ;)

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

I look at the tools and application catalog, and I can't find the name extras devel, or the developer extras repository. What is the http:// address of this repository?

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

repository.maemo.org/extras-devel

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Thanks, I found it. The one I have is called Testing Maemo Extra, repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/chinook/free , I disabled it, went to red pill mode, all I need is to install the
libevas0-loaders-all_0.9.9.042-maemo3_armel.deb
from there and it would install all the other libevas0. Then I went back to blue pill mode, and installed Canola 2. Now it is working.

Re: Canola, Diablo & No Text

Hey guys, you seem to like living in danger... I was uploading the new versions of EFL libraries and found this bug thanks to someone who reported it in our tracker in garage.

Anyway, this issue is now fixed and Canola is running fine under Diablo.
