I was reluctant to upgrade to Diablo, although it seemed to go very well (I am a user, not a developer or an advanced user, and not very familiar with Linux). I did some cursory testing after install, and did not find anything that seemed to be a problem, but did not test everything.
I had been following the threads on Debian and decided to try that, since I wanted ABIword and OpenOffice and the install seemed simple enough and seemed easier than KDE installation. I tested those apps once Debian installed and was pleased. I did note that some of my windows would open on the edges of my screen instead of in the middle, but that was ok, since I could still use them or move them.
I found that Canola was not displaying text, but followed the posts to get that figured out.
I use my IT for GPS more than anything else. Before I installed Diablo, I didn't have the long 'fix' times I had seen others complain about, but did note that 'fix' times were faster with Diablo.
The problem I have with the Wayfinder Map program is that when I try to do an address search now, the process crashes. I start entering in street information and during its search for the street name the Map program exits.
My questions are these: 1) is anyone else getting this with there unit? 2) should I de-install Debian, or downgrade to Chinook, or both? 3) If I should de-install Debian, how do I do it? (I am just a user mostly, but can follow instruction and am relatively good at figuring things out) 4) If I need to downgrade, how do I do that?
Any input is appreciated. I did search the threads for the Wayfinder problem and didn't find it anywhere.
UPDATE: Removed Debian and rebooted. Still having the same problem with Wayfinder Map. Whenever I try to enter an address, the process quits and dumps me out. I un-installed A-GPS. Problem still there. Not sure if it was the Diablo upgrade or maybe something else. Map worked well until I upgraded to Diablo.
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Anything help is appreciated
SOLVED - UPDATE - found that the internal memory was corrupted. Saved what I could, and formatted the internal drive. Copied the Map folders back and map functions correctly now. Had to re-download a couple maps, but other than that everything is good.
