What's the update to?

Crazy. First time I've touched my IT in months (due to my eee 900 taking up the role of 'portable internet' in my life), and there's an update. Just installing now on the way to the office. Hope everyone has luck with it.

BTW, release # is 1:4.2008.36-5.

Some issues which've been discussed on IRC:
  1. Some desktop applets (like "Tableteer info" and "Quick Contacts") can become re-enabled.
  2. Extras can become disabled.

List of packages touched during the upgrade is interesting, the summary of "Email, Web and Connectivity" seems to be right.

I'll add to these that my N800 became locked while installing, I had to enter my password during this upgrade (strange, since it is supposed to lock itself every hour)

Update causing problems - help please
 
Hmm... update appeared to install but n800 will not restart manually. I did not restart itself as I left it to do it it'self. It turns itself off near end of start process when blue bar is about 80% of way across screen and then back on again in a loop.

If I take memory cards out of n800, blue bar gets gets right across screen then it does same thing; blue light flashes three times it turns off and then restarts and goes through this process in endless loop.

Anybody any solution please?

No, the version string is just correct now.

Flashing the firmware is probably the only solution: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

Any noticable updates to Modest?

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

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

Well, the initfs was updated, what do you expect?

Yes, this is to be expected. Anyone knows new initfs version?
Code:
cat /mnt/initfs/etc/initfs_version
or try to reinstall bootmenu, it will complain if there is new unknown initfs and print its version.

I am downloading repository files now and will examine initfs image. BTW, before any such SSU update it may make sense to backup your customized bootmenu.conf since the one in initfs gets lost.

Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!
 
No problem here, updated successfully (btw N800 was fully charged, no AC power while updating as required for full reflash).

Cannot check browser performance improvements since I have 3G connection only while at work.

Texrat 2008-09-29 12:54
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.

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
Quote:
118a119,130
> load_omap_hwrng_module()
> {
> grep RX-48 /proc/component_version >/dev/null
> if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
> echo "Loading OMAP GP Hardware RNG modules... "
> insmod $MODULE_PATH/rng-core.ko
> insmod $MODULE_PATH/omap-rng.ko
> echo "Seeding random number generator from OMAP HW RNG..."
> dd if=/dev/hwrandom of=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=1
> fi
> }
>
337a350
> load_omap_hwrng_module
356a370
> load_omap_hwrng_module
366a381
> 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.

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?

bow 2008-09-29 13:49
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.

westdene 2008-09-29 13:59
Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!
 
I had to reflash my N800, loosing all my installed progs. Hard work again in installing repositories, apps and so. Thank God that all my important data was stored in the cards.
Any way, its gonna be a long long day putting back all the things!!!
Nice update btw :/

Benson 2008-09-29 13:59
Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!
 
So, I'll hit this this afternoon; thanks for the great work, Fanoush!

(They really ought to send you the new versions ahead of time.)

(Actually, it would kind of make sense if they had a second SSU repo analogous to extras-devel, where updates would be released a week early for advanced users -- that would give time for us to detect conflicts with various third-party software, and hopefully get workarounds/compatibility worked out before it gets pushed to less-advanced users. Might cut down on the number of "Oops, reboot loop -- guess I'll reflash and wonder what package caused it" cases.)

Mine (#3542) is now working - but was just before the update (workaround for my issue on the bug list)

Let me add a sad little "me too" to this. Constant reboot loop, going to have to re-flash. All my data is safe on the card, but it's going to be a pain to have to reinstall all my apps.

I'm having the same problem. I've never made any changes to the flash player, and never had problems with it either.

Will the update work if I uninstall Flash altogether from the Components in the web browser? I was about to do it, but then didn't know how I'd reinstall Flash.

hi. i can't remember how i installed the patch. can someone help me out with uninstalling it? the idea of possibly re-flashing for this update too makes me tired.

thanks

Re: welcome to a new update all diablo os2008 users!
 
No problems so far!
The browser is really fast!

Was Flash in fullscreen (youtube) possible before? I can't remember.

I'm trying to run this upgrade but it says it need 33Mbytes! and then says there is not enough space. I can't tell what to clean up or remove in order to allow it to upgrade.
