Hi Guys,

Can you please me inform how did you downgraded? so we can replicate the issue here? Did you used the canola cleanup / cleanup from EXTRAS (not extras devel)
made sure you disabled extras devel etc?

This issues are clearly looking like conflict of versions.

As for the problems : I am really sorry. But as everyone knows this is a free software and we were trying to get people working (paid) on the software and they *** up the whole software. As I am really worried with the users and their opinions it was a painful decision but I decided to drop all the beta10 development done so far (a couple of months) because the situation was way worst than we could have imagined.

Luckly, I entered a personal fight and with the help of my boss got authorization to bring back in the team Barbieri and Ulisses, the main creators of Canola, so I would just ask a little bit of your patience that things will be back on track quite fast, and we have the plans up to 10 months of development for canola2 and ofcourse the main critics / bugs said here are top priority.

I kind of feel the same as said here, that the tablet software is "kind" of stopped, but We are at least trying to do our part. There's a couple of nice plans, but we are only 6 and a half people working on canola (now) it was way less before. So it's not fair to charge more than we can do, and we do that for free. We are going to deploy the full source, but being honest.. I don't believe the tablet devs will pick up and help it. Anyhow We are following a "dream" of having a "Canola2" non beta release where the basic features are rock solid and from there we are just going to make sure things are clear and clean for the users.

Sorry again for the mess on installation and uninstallation issues but let's be honest : the app installer also doesn't help. People do have several repositories, and even when you write on red, that extras-devel and extras conflict, they don't disable it. We will do our best, but this takes times and we need .. actually that's the only thing we ask from you in return : information when giving feedback.
Saying it doesn't work is not good. Say what you did, say your repositories say what happens if you type canola on xterm.

That will speed up everything
