Munky, which repository are you using? I have chinook extras (not diablo extras). the red pill update didnt change anything for me

I just enabled diablo extras-devel, and in red pill mode updated "Operating System." Canola seems to now work great! Woo-hoo! Note: be careful what you install from extras-devel. A lot of things (ex: xournal) will not work.

i have all the repositories from gronmayer.com installed minus a coule i dont need and i have extras-devel disabled

Hey all, good news for everyone. It is now available in diablo extras-devel. This is just a backport of beta9 version and all bugs for this version still remain there. It took almost 3 weeks to fix all the bugs in EFL packages and adjust them to the new builder infrastructure.

And because of the autobuilder, we could not build the ogg support for canola. We must wait until the ogg guys upload their packages to the extras-devel repositories.

I'll finish to upload the plugin packages today and as soon as the packages are ready and tested, I'll move them to extras.

Finally, you won't find the Canola section in application manager. It is now under Multimedia section, following the Maemo packaging policy.

I know there are some workarounds to get Canola working properly under Diablo, but I've been holding out for the "official" fix. This is great news. Thanks!

Thanks for getting Canola into the Diablo reposistory. It installed for me with no problems. Great to have the program back, almost ...

Is it possible to move the Canola plugins into the Diablo repository too? I previously removed the Chinook one in hopes of avoiding conflicts, confusion, and other problems.

Yeah, I'm working on uploading the plugins and themes at this very moment. The themes are already there.

So I have a dumb question. Do I need to add the Diablo extras catalog, since I do not see one listed in the Application catalog list (even though I updated to Diablo). Or is the Diablo extras the same as the Maemo extras which is currently disabled by default?

Thanks

Hi Vrette. You need to add the extras-devel repository. It's still on testing phase and I prefer to ensure that everything is running well before moving it to extras. One thing to notice is that Canola2 package is now under the 'Multimedia' section, following the new maemo packaging policy. You won't find it under the 'Canola' section as it used to be.

Maemo extras-devel repository

Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: diablo
Components: free non-free

I'm a complete noob, but I get it now, Hopefully this will do the trick. One more question, Should I disable the chinook extras? thnx so much

update: I took a flyer and went ahead and installed canola2 after adding the repository. it works. thanks again.
