not sure if anyone else has had the problem , but the canola cleanup app , i used it and it actually uninstalled canola. took it off and reinstalled canola , and it still wouldnt work , i had to reflash my 810 to get it to work again.

Munky : the cleanupp is for that.. it removes canola, and removes the bad dependencies.. but of course it could have effects like yours, but we need info to create the test "devices" we are not able to replicate each individual's user problems if we don't get full information : /

sorry for the trouble caused, I think I will edit the post about this.. and let it clear that it may not solve the problem : /

I too, have had this problem. I have uninstalled three times now, run the clean-up and reinstalled.

Now after a fresh installation, Canola doesn't even come up at all--no error messages--nothing.

I have not reflashed my system yet, but will probably end up doing that this next week.

Hi Rdcinhou : please run canola in xterm with -vv so we can see what's happening.
If it;s not starting, maybe some critical package is missing (like python)

People that had this problem before... was because it missed python : /

I spent about 4 hours last weekend installing/uninstalling, etc. with no success. That put me behind on some other projects, so it will be later this week before I can afford to be playing around with my N800. At the moment, I do not have Canola installed and I am not around WiFi.

I'm just wondering if so other program has messed things up so much on the system (for example: after uninstalling Bomberman, it still shows as being in the menu system though it won't run or appear in the list of installed applications). I have tried WAY too many programs that were not ready for public consumption and I am only a Linux novice so I do not have the diagnostic skills to troubleshoot at the OS prompt. I will try to do as you ask but it will have to wait a couple of days.

I do appreciate all the effort that you and others have been putting into this application which is by far the most sexy and glamorous program on the N8x0.

I will give it a try in a couple of days.

Hi Rdcinhou... we are like crazy trying to find what happened with this installation.
It's actually a mistery, because with brand new devices, first thing installing canola never failed here in no device, with any firmware.

But if any kind of application is installed, we don't know for sure what or what repository still, sometimes... not always it messes up with application installer.

But can also be thing of server corrupting packages in the download.. I don't know... because I saw that some mediabox user had the same problem there ;/ the thing is.. the application installer seems to really break (segmentation fault) and then is really broken, a apt-get command is needed to get it back to work.

I will expect your feedback as we try to nail this problem to provide a real safe instalation / removal process in future versions.

Application Manager shows the following Python modules installed:

python2.5-feedparser 4.1-1osso1
python2.5-pyinotify 0.7.1-1osso3
python2.5-runtime c1.0-2

I am running OS2008 on a N800 with two 8G SDHC cards.

Ok, you spotted a bug in the cleanup script which we haven't got in our tests. I'm building the packages for the updated version of canola2-cleanup and as soon as they're ready I'll update to extras repository.

Sorry for the annoyance.

To help close this thread, one thing I found while doing multiple installs/uninstalls/clean-up....

One time I got a LOW MEMORY warning in the Application Manager, so I began uninstalling other applications to make more room.

It seems that after making more room, Canola installed and ran properly.

There probably need to be some memory checks on the install process.
