Anyone else having problems with Kagu media player on Diablo?
Mine keeps crashing and closing randomly. I'll have to give Canola a try.

Just realised that one can update a couple of applications at the same by pressing on the "update all" button in the application manager!

I'd like to see a new microb in a week or two; but that's just not happening. I expect they were busy on Diablo, as there were weekly updates up to the end; that means they'd be starting pretty much now, and a month or so might be more reasonable.

FYI to those that want Gnumeric, it does not install on Diablo. It requires the same dependencies as the old Rhapsody. (The new one can be installed now)

True. However Diablo, as just released, probably didn't have very extensive beta testing period. At least there wasn't any public one. Just getting access to an early build was like joining a secret society or something.
Nokia/Maemo should consider releasing a release candidate or beta versions in the future so that developers have a relatively stable target and power users can report on the arrows on their backs before the version for the average user is released.
That said, Diablo is a .1 update and mostly compatible with Chinook applications and the new seamless software update feature should help deliver bug fixes in a painless manner.
Anyone not comfortable with some minor breakage should probably wait for another week or two before taking the plunge.
Come to think of it, that would be a good time to see an up-to-date microb engine replacing the existing one based on a year-old alpha of Firefox 3.0...
I second that vote for replacing that engine *next week* with an updated one. But seeing that Gecko 2.0 hasn't been alive much more than a month (if memory serves), there is still some work yet to be done to merge hildon and other aspects of the new engine into microB.

i suspect a lot of dep issues are fixed if one do the chinook extra dance.
it seems that the people that manage maemo extra didnt get a heads up about when diablo was to be released, and as such could not prepare for it...
hell, a symlink between diablo and chinook dirs could have fixed most issues the first week or so...
and for the record, i have gnumeric installed and working thanks to that little trick.

I also have gnumeric working. Not sure what I did to get it that way, but it just installed fine, and it opens and runs fine. Just tried install Rhapsody, and it also installed fine. It seems to run fine, too.

Honestly, I'm not sure why they didn't have that link (or a copy) setup already; maybe none of the maemo honchos were running Diablo, and didn't realize that we were all using the Chinook repo.
