I don't undestand.

Xournal is, right now, available only for Chinook.
When you install it (on Diablo via the Maemo.ord Downloads section), it will enable two CHINOOK repositories (extras and extras-devel) for the depencies it needs.
AFAIK there is no easy way for me to disable both of them after the installation.

You should do it by hand by going to the Application Manager->Tools->Application Catalog... and disable both of them (by editing them) or removing them.

This is the only way to install Xournal on Diablo.
It will NEVER appear on Diablo's application list because it is NOT listed in the user's repositories.

If it does, you guys have somehow installed/enabled the Diablo's -devel repository.
And this is, sorry, not my fault.

Even if I put Chinook's version of Xournal in the Diablo's repository, the issue will arise anyway as the very same people will find an update and go for it.

A solution would be for me to pull out the -devel version.. we'll see.

So, when Xournal does not work on your Diablo: remove it, disable the Diablo's devel repository, install Xournal again from the Maemo org downloads section, once installed remove/disable the two Chinook repositories it added.

Sorry, but I can't do more than this.
Well I can, just release a working version for Diablo, but right now I do have no time as I am relocating in London to start a new job there.. so.. for a while there will be no update
Shame...

But I will try my best to release a stable Diablo version for Xmas.

Xournal on the N800 complains that it can't find the background, and presents a dialogue box asking whether or not I'd like to search for another file to replace that background, with only a "No" button available to me. Hence, I can't search for the PDF file to pop in as background again on the N800. (The above does work on the Mac, though.)
Any ideas as to what might be going wrong, or something that I could do to work around this?
Best,
Jon
I will take a look at this, but you have to wait a bit, sorry.

Thanks again.
You should have your answer now, in the above posts.

Here's something what you could do: Tell where to find the sources to working xournal (they're not in chinook repo) and somebody else can upload package to diablo extras. Version number probably has to be bumped above the test release, but maybe epoch could be used for that.

Filemanager Icons for Xournal

I wanted to give the Xournal files an icon in Filemanager, as they were showing up blank, so did the following.

Code:
cd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/mimetypes
ln -s ../hildon/xournal.png gnome-mime-application-x-xoj.png
cd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/mimetypes
ln -s ../hildon/xournal.png gnome-mime-application-x-xoj.png
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
They now display nicely as:

Hi,

I have been using xournal for a few month on my chinook boot (I only boot from flash cards). Right now, I am in the process of upgrading my system to Diablo, and the command apt-get install xournal only installs the xournal package, without the ghostscript, libgnomecanvas, libgnomeprint or libart.
Can you provide the .deb files which should work on diablo (or the links to them)?

Please help!

Well, with a massive thank you to X-Fade who managed to dig up this file: http://qwerty12.qole.org/xournal_0.4...diablo1.tar.gz - which contains the source to the broken Xournal diablo port. Maybe someone would be willing to fix it up? If not, I'd wouldn't be averse to the idea of me giving it a shot..

Feel welcome to play with it, but it is not only a re-compile of the Chinook version (of which I've lost the source code ), but I was also trying to squeeze in a few changes (those causing the error).

I think I was playing with the UI a bit.

Anyway, I am using this as a start point for Fremantle.

Thanks a lot to both anidel and qwerty12! Xournal is badly needed for maemo tablets, maemo phones, maemo droids and all maemo aficionados... :-)

Yes, I was hacking on the packaging and the code to install the XML UI definition file and config to /usr/share/xournal (and copy the config into ~/.xournal) and it started but I couldn't actually draw and the menu options were not working...

I happen to like Fremantle, so seeing a Fremantle version would be much appriciated... maybe your Fremantle version could be backported to Diablo once done
