The plugin seemed to install just fine. It asked for auth for my flickr account (which I of course granted). But every time I try to bring up my flickr through Canola, it gives me a message:

"You are not logged in. Please switch to your browser and allow Canola-flickr access to your flickr account."
Hmm, this really is strange, this message should only be show if something was wrong with authorization or if there is a problem with the network. Are you shure you can connect to the flickr page from the tablet?

Anyway, it maybe really is a poblem with the plugin, you could start canola from xterm via "canola -vvv" and post the output here, especially the lines which appear when you try to open the flickr plugin.

Now one thing I noticed was that in your comments, the plugin relies on python-flickrapi, which is not installed on my N800 (os2008 non-diablo).

I enabled maemo-extras from gronmayer but i'm not seeing phython-flickrapi show up in my installable apps.
Well, if the browser was started and if it opened the flickr page, the you definetely have python-flickrapi installed, this part is handled by python-flickrapi.

It might be confusing, but the application manager does not show all available packages, it (should) show only the ones which are relevant for the end-user, python-flickrapi (like most other python packages) is not visible in the application manager. If you want to see, if a package is available and/or installed, you can always use "apt-cache policy packagename" in xterm or if you are logged in via ssh.
