Anyway - it looks nice Just have to wait...

maybe the file had a rough childhood and turned out corrupted....

Me too. I deleted all repos on my N810, after having flashed a new os2008, went to canola-site, loaded base repo / install canola2 -> "setup file corrupt" (bandwidth is better now, 9.3MB in about 20 secs).

I don't believe this is a bandwidth issue. The error is consistency from apt-get install canola2:

Invalid magic
Err http://repository.maemo.org chinook/non-free Packages
Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

Here's an alternative way to install Canola. Try looking at post #263 of this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...=13017&page=27

If you are new to the Internet Tablet, skip through several pages and follow the instructions at post #297

Now if only mplayer worked ( well ) in OS2008.....

I think the invalid magic problem has been resolved. Now I'm downloading all, but getting:
Failed to fetch http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...aemo.1_all.deb Size mismatch

i think we're almost there...

a step in the right direction. I think the manual install methods that Reggie was kind enough to point out are beyond my expertise level. I will need to wait for the "easy" method to get corrected.

I downloaded it and tried it:

• Looks pretty
• Nice way to view photos
• Only crashed once
• No album art
• No WMA support
• Movies take way too long to load and start playing
• No album art
• Need to add Video podcasts to the Audio section!
• No way to add/view video podcasts?
• No way to stop it searching for something?
• Album covers has no album art! Did I mention this? Why on earth demo an album art feature if this is not a feature!? Why not demo it and say it is not included in this beta even?
• Nice Settings

I guess I will uninstall it and wait for the next release in January/February.

I heard that if you install mplayer, Canola will use it by default and should play a lot more formats.
