confusion of repos, is there any list of applications that work well on diablo somewhere? insteat of refreashing all the time to see if there is some updates available, i really wish i could go back to chinook and wait after summer before upgrading.
some of my application do not lunch even though they are safely installed.

Mind to share with us which application does not lunch? Maybe the forum can help.


bun

This is why I have been recommending to newbies that they clone their system to Deb before flashing.

thanks
erming is the most needed as i use g cal and gpe cal, even though i have recieved two undates since it will not lanch, unistalled reinstalled done all but it will not move when i launch it,

sorry i am not a linux expert clonning to me is like build windows xp from start, the third reason i bought this device is to learn to use linux.

I'd definitely go with Diablo.

Whom would I prod to encourage mplayer to be diabolized?

One of the people there. Though I believe Ed's on vacation.

after a backup and a reflash my tablet is in good working state after a restore, updates are coming step by step and making the tablet more stable no issues with the apps. thanks to those working on the devil to subdue it to good working order.

Ok. I've prodded him. I think it only fair that he rushes back from the beach

First, I've not found this anywhere, but you need to add the diablo tools and sdk repositories manually. Probably extras and extras-dev (for diablo). Many chinook repositories will be restored.

For the diablo tools/sdk, I just posted:

My method:

0. Backup using the normal utility which you should do anyway.

1. Use penguinbait's Clone-to-SD to copy a full (mountable) image of your current setup. I have many tweaks (like WM, startup media) that aren't backed up but I could retreive them - mainly by checking the change date. (I also use a manual rsync/gnutar to mirror to my repartitioned internal flash, but that is more effort and something I do as an extra backup)

(1a - get a chinook flash file if you want a full restore just in case)

2. Reflash to diablo. This will remove the bootability for the initfs, but you won't need it for the restore.

3. Do all the normal restores. Remove any extra media you don't want (pics, sounds, videos). This includes application manager once normally, then after you've added diablo extras and extras-devel, and the above mentioned sdk and tools.

4. If anything is missing, you can mount the SD card and look for anything that didn't get updated and manually copy it back or integrate it.
