I just installed CSSU Testing for the first time and I have a few questions. I did search this thread and some others, but I'm afraid the information I'm looking for is buried in an overload of other data, so please bear with me.
1. I installed by clicking the CSSU page, and the system reports I have 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1. But I don't see any updates. I thought the community repos were set during installation, but perhaps the infra migration changed that. Any ideas?
EDIT: It looks like, for now, we need to use the skeiron mirror:
Catalogue Name: Community-Testing - Mirror 3
Web address: http://skeiron.org/repo/repository.m...unity-testing/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free
2. How do you lock in portrait mode? The applet accessible through the menu bar only allows for autorotate and landscape lock.
EDIT:
Based on the discussion here it seems it might not be such a good idea to use portrait lock. Developers don't seem to like it, anyway:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...it+lock&page=9
3. Where do I get access to the 9 desktops? I installed the CSSU graphic configuration tool but there is no option there.
EDIT: Just under the Desktop > Manage Views
4. Very important to me: How do you enable the task swapping via the keyboard (Ctrl - Left and Ctrl - Right, plus Ctrl - Backspace for task rotation). Do I need to install the modified hildon desktop? I thought this was a part of the CSSU.
EDIT:
a. I think the Ctrl - Left and Ctrl - Right task navigation is not built into CSSU, but is enabled via the Task Swapper application. I tried this and it's nifty, but unfortunately it's skipping some applications.
b. The Ctrl - Backspace behavior can be set in CSSU. For example, to activate the same behavior as Alt - Tab in Windows, you run this command:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav -t int 5
This is described here: http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/repo/Mo...n_Desktop.html
(Question: Is there a GUI to set up this, a front end for gconftool-2?)
gconf-editor, perhaps?
5. Finally, I installed Kernel Power 52 before installing CSSU. Should this be OK?
Thank you in advance, and apologies if I miss this information in obvious places. I actually looked, and I hope I didn't quit too fast.

Thanks for time you've spent to edit your post and add already found answers to your questions, for others with same problems. It's greatly appreciated and nice (yet rare) practice.

Regarding the various missing packages and missing versions, I've fixed the repo today and it's back to T7.2 again.
Also you can expect a new update within the next 2 weeks

The way I understand it then is that what the devs don't like is forced portrait lock, which is different from portrait lock? I am guessing that portrait lock just keeps applications that are whitelisted from autorotating when switching to landscape, whereas forced portrait lock just forces all applications to use portrait mode.
I really need to investigate more how this works, will read up on it.

It seems portrait lock doesn't work for me. When I activate lock while in portrait, it reverts to landscape and locks. This is even without any applications open.
Never mind though, I need to flash this N900 because I got it recently and who knows what was installed on it before.

It seems like good feature for some use-cases (like people wanting to always have portrait when keyboard is slided in, and always landscape, when slided out), but for others, it's just unnecessary limitation. IMO, it should be configurable.
CSSU team, any insights about it?

EDIT: It did work out of the box in CSSU-Thumb!
I just flashed my N900 and I'm starting from scratch, though. I'm going to try CSSU-Thumb and see how that works.
I am leaning towards installing KP51r1 instead of KP52 since it seems to be more mature. But if you don't agree let me now.
EDIT: I just let CSSU-Thumb install the modified KP51r1 kernel (cssu-kernel). So far so good.
By the way, I found some rootfs images in Nokia's site that have me a little perplexed. I found this after flashing my N900 and looking at the version number: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=89800
Not sure what something like 21.2011.38-1.020 would be, but such a file exists! I would be extremely cautious actually flashing something like that into a N900.
