SSU hiding problem solved. General Antilles put his finger on it at the beginning of this thread, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Seems my osso-software-version had been deleted. How, I know not. I certainly didn't do it directly. Anyway, for my n800 I did "apt-get install osso-software-version-rx34" and the OS2008 Feature Upgrade 36-5 finally showed up in app manager.

Use "apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44" for the n810.

Now here's hoping I don't get the reboot loop...

UPDATE: Everything installed OK, and I now have pre-ssu diablo on flash, and 4.2008.36-5 on SD (with "About product" showing proper versions in each case).

If you're talking about penguinbait's bootmenu.deb, then unless he updated it already, I don't think so.

Installing bootmenu is simple enough, though. Especially if you previously had a working installation via penguinbait's stuff.

Download the newest init_flasher (link posted by fanoush earlier in the thread) to an ext2/3 partition (~/MyDocs/.documents/ will do), then untar it, cd to where you untarred it, then copy your existing bootmenu.conf file (I think it's in /root/install-tools/) to your current directory, then run ./init_flash

That worked for me.

Err, that was from yesterday's memory, so I may have botched some names/directories, but you get the point.

facebook was doing that before the latest ssu iirc, try the user agent switch.

the basic problem is that microb is not id-ing itself as firefox, and facebook wants to make sure their ajax features work...

I wasn't getting the update either so I did the "apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44" on the n810. I am now getting the infamous reboot loop (before the update...). I needed a fresh flash anyway...

Is there a way to force a Diablo update...? I'm still waiting for it to show up on my device.

If it doesn't show up when you go to app manager>check for updates and hit that circular icon on the bottom right corner, then you might have to do this.

Y'know... I read through some 200-odd messages here yesterday, mostly preaching doom and gloom regarding this update... I was almost trepidatious when I arrived within my WiFi zone last night...

. I had development stuff on the tablet
. I had SVN versions of software on the tablet
. I had the "browser fix" .deb installed on the tablet
. I had bora, chinook, and diablo apps installed on the tablet
. I had no problem with Modest not notifying me about mail (IMAP/Gmail), but didn't want one, either.
. Regardless, I chose to "install"
. Immediately got a message about the "browser fix", so I removed that via the Application Manager, and chose to 'install' the upgrade.
. I have had no problems whatsoever!

okay, okay... The "contacts" applet was on my screen... and the Tableteer applet was on the screen, but c'mon... that's easily solved. Yeah, a bunch of PDF documentation was re-installed in my documents directory, but I cleaned it out without trouble... and, yeah, my extras repository was disabled, so I re-enabled it.

No rebooting loops, no removing batteries, no reflashing the tablet, and no real issues... reading here, one might think that I was the exception to the norm -- but I'm willing to bet I'm just being more vocal about my experience than the rest of the 'silent majority'.
