@Benz, Laughing man... Etc:
Music not playing : We think "atabake" our media engine is acting strange.. or something was not "updated" in the update. if you guys can try to do a full removal (like using apt-get on command line) like
apt-get -f install

And after that do a real reboot (no power cable one) ... does it still not playing sounds?

Music and Podcasts: those are the sensible ones in this updates because we changed a lot the music player and the download manager. Sorry for the trouble but it was the only way to "hit" the bugs.

We are trying to see how to make sure everyone has the right dependencies on place (this should be guaranteed by the application manager).

@benz : the unnable to install canola probably has a message in the log.. can you send us ?

@rdcinhou : I will check the png issues... I remember there was a real serious bug with the thumbnailer and pngs, maybe that was what left thumbnails out...

@mwiktowy : interesting this sounds like a "regular" bug that we must have introduced with the player. Can you open a bug on garage?

@Denvar : we are updating the download maanger... if you could kill it from the terminal before installing.. would it help ? I will also push the message to the guys to see how it goes.

Guys, I would like to ask a small thing :
When telling us the problem you're facing, send us always the basic info as you're doing now and also :

1) if happenend in application installer : send us the log messages. Log is located in the menu of the application installer
2) if happened on canola: try rebooting, and running it from xterm with -vv as argument. And sending us also (can be just the final part... not everything, or where you see something like "Error" "Bug"
3) tell us what kind of repositories do you have, did you have canola2 already installed etc.

Thanks! We will try to fix those things asap, seems that the music part is critical but is happening to half of people.. not to other half... We are trying to figure out Why?
