hey guys, im having a problem with this. I already have a kernal that supports rotation, and am using the roaition statubar icon on my n810. when I tried the one-click install, it seemed to install sliderotate only halfway. App manager said Sliderotate not installed or something. I tried to uninstall via app manager, and it said Sliderotate not uninstalled. I also tried Xterm, and it gave me this...
Code:
/home/user # apt-get remove sliderotate
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

about the same thing happens wheni try apt-get install sliderotate.
Also,now the onscreen keyboard pops up even if i have the keyboard open.

Edit: I modded the python file and removed the import gnome part. This at least
allowed me to uninstall. What is that part for, and am i missing a dependancy or something? This seems way too good to give up on...
