[canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

There is a new version of canola2 in the devel-extras repository but it seems to be not installable.

There are conflicts with lightmediascanner0-ogg, libcore0-desktop (0.9.9.050+svn38845-maemo1), lightmediascanner0-ogg (0.3.0-maemo2)

I was not able to find information about a new version here:
http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/

Will there be out a version which is installable next time? :)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I apt-get removed lightmediascanner0-ogg and it installed.... BUT no music or video files play.... I don't recommend installing RC1.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

RC2 just came out and it still can't play any audio or video files. Restoring ~/.atabake/config to use oms instead of mplayer didn't change a thing.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

does anyone know what if any changes are in these upcoming versions? Are there any visible changes or is it all under the bonnet.

gonna install on my test n800 later, just charging it up at the mo.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

The layout is slightly different. There are transitional effects when certain items are pressed, but the N8x0 has an outdated CPU and the effects are choppy and slow down the already sluggish N8x0. You can select which items are displayed on the main screen. Let me know music or videos play on your test n800. Neither play on mine.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

i just noticed rc2, but per your observations, i won't be installing. however, isn't canola2 optimized for n8x0 devices??

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I installed Canola2 RC2 about an hour ago.
The installation went fine (after Canola Cleanup).
I installed the additional prefs and the flat-black-white theme too...

So far:
* no mp3s are playing (loader-cycle cycles and cycles *gg*)
* no videos are shown (timeline stops at 0:00)
* pictures are shown correctly (even I think the beta was faster)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

interesting. I'm sure the Canola developers will show up here soon and report. They're been pretty good in the past about engaging with maemo community to let them know what's up.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I've reinstalled Canola2 and now I can't play any mp3's, video, or podcasts.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

But I must admit, everything else is better than before! ;-)
The UI looks much better, is more configurable (for ex. I don't use X-casts so I disabled them) and the buttons look much better too!

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I've posted a bug report and got feedback, that they are already working on it ;-)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

SWEET! I can't wait to upgrade and see what the hype is all about (minus not being able to listen to music or watch videos... pretty much it's entire purpose!) ;) Thank you for submitting that!

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Looks like there is a new version out, but we need hildon-imf-ecore to be uploaded to the repo to install.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Another update ... and I cannot install it (on Diablo). It requires missing hildon-imf-ecode (>=0.1.3)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

my too hildon-imf-ecode (>=0.1.3) ?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Haven't tried it myself, but I've updated the bug report... hopefully it gets fixed soon. The new UI looks great ;-)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Seems the latest RC3 release fixed the problem. Audio and video now playing.

But can anyone confirm, generating video-thumbnails and audio covers does work or not? - For me it doesn't.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Yes, at least you can play mp3 now.

Covers did not work for me either. The logic behind albums recognition is still broken.

And actually when I tried to merge albums, I could not play music any more - I got black message box "Killing everything..." (scary one!)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Anybody tried to install RC4?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I just installed RC4. Audio and video work. Looks great.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Confirming. RC4 works just fine so far
But ... how could I download cover art? Is that feature gone for good?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Regarding video playback - it is quite jumpy.
Some Youtube flicks are downloaded and played through mytube + mplayer, they play without jumps - but when canola takes them from mytube cache, the stream jumps all the time...

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I haven't tried RC4, but with RC3 I installed the Tuning Tools for Canola2 - since there are two of them, I tried them both.

The direct plugin doesn't show up for me in Canola2.
The Python app (installs two apps for thumbs and covers) doesn't work too.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

My canola stopped working as i did some upgrade before, now tried to go to RC4 and i get this:

I guess It stayed screwed up from a previous install... any suggestions? :)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

with RC4 installed I can no longer play audio tracks through using the 'My Music -> Browse by folder' option; after navigating to a music folder and selecting a track (mp3) nothing happens; playback does not start and the UI does not react anymore except for letting me scroll in the very same folder (no going back to the upper directory or selecting another track possible);

anyone else experiencing this behaviour?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

I have the exact same error message now and mine wasn't screwed up before. Running apt-get upgrade in the terminal pulled in a few updates to xserver stuff, which got rid of the "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"."
But I still get the error in controller.py with options.theme, even if I wipe out my .canola directory under home to start fresh.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

My issue seems to be resolved with the latest update to python-efl. Nice little update :)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

~ $ canola

This is what I get when trying to play music from "my music" -> "browse by folder". The space where the song is turns blank and nothing happens. Canola2 rc4.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Wow... very interesting. Usually later releases provide improvements, but I'm surprised about these updates because they feel like steps backwards for Canola2.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Tick Tock... any other luck, guys?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

For me plugins stopped working. cant use youtube plugin or tuning plugin. haven't tried others.

They just don't appear within canola. I also did a cleanup and reinstalled, same thing. :(

this is with RC4

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

the latest update RC5 has completely cured my problem, thanks for fixing this - I'm finally back on a more responsive and (at least for me) functional version of canola :)

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

So, it's working like beta11 now? What isn't working for you?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

indeed, it feels even snappier and smoother when navigating through the menu and browsing my music folders.
with RC5 I haven't seen an issue yet; music, videos (optimized for n810) and internet radio are flawlessly working so far.
I usually don't use canola's picture viewer due to being really slow (large time gaps when switching from one pic to another in fullscreen mode)...this 'problem' still exists but honestly I don't care...

still need to perform some field-testing regarding battery duration, can't tell yet; but from my first impressions the new RC's really feeI like an improvement.

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

With RC5 plugins aren't working

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

The 2.0.0 release is finally out and so is a new version of the tuning plugin - but the tuning controls still do not show up

What am I missing ? I find it very hard to believe that new versions are being released without realizing that they are not working - so there must be something that I am doing wrong - Can anyone help ??

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

Update
----------

The tuning plugin works if the flickr plugin is installed as well.

The other plugins do show up. However the last.fm plugin still has the invalid URL issue, and the picasa plugin crashes canola often. The flickr and youtube plugins seem to be okay so far

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

FANTASTIC! I don't need all those plugins (yet) --- so, I will be updating soon. Thank you for keeping us updated!

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

This has been bugging me for a while because it shows the update alert even though it knows it can't install. I'm still a beginner when it comes to Maemo/linux, what method are you guys using to update to the latest release? Canola cleanup then app manager or apt get?

Re: [canola] RC1 in devel-extras but not installable
 

yes, use canola cleanup. there's another thread on this that you should search for with many more details. :)
