Hm, so I have to remove python-launcher to get canola working?

Sometimes it is enough, sometimes not.

On my N800 beta8 works again after uninstalling python launcher.

On my N810 it still fails with the "pickles" message.

Both have OS2008 and ran beta7 without issues.

Há Thanks guys,

Let's check what this launcher is doing, it seems that canola is trying to load it : /
Well, this is really strange.

Thanks for the so clear feedback.

I had this same problem but now its working. I removed Python Launcher and Canola and then istalled it again and now its working in my N810.

In that case a reinstall helps.

Didn't work for me either so I removed python-launcher, ran cleanup and reinstalled

Hi Guys,

Just debugged this problem and it looks like this: after installing Canola, the install script runs "cnl-rescan-collections" to create that pickle file. The problem is that python-launcher is having a problem with this script (I don't know why yet, but we'll discover) and so, you cannot get the right pickle file: for those who ran canola-cleanup, this means that Canola will not have a pickle file to load and come up (python-launcher suppresses this exception and then you cannot see that) and for those who are updating from previous canola the problem is that you cannot get the right pickle file (this is why canola comes up but then freezes). It explains also why beta7 was working: the pickle file was already there ;-) .

So, until we fix python-launcher, I recommend installing Canola _before_ installing python-launcher or uninstalling python-launcher (be sure that it's not running on Canola install, just it).

Sorry for the inconvenience but we'll talk with python-launcher's guys and try to release a fix for this problem as soon as possible.


Best regards,

Thanks for the explanation. I tend to prefer knowing why things don't work that not knowing why they do - then we can get about making them work and knowing why :-)
