I seem to be having the same issue zeez had back on 12/11 w/missing libart and libgnomecanvas libraries. I had xournal 0.3 working, so I'm not exactly sure how the libraries got destroyed (maybe an uninstall of gnumeric?).

Anyway, I've added repositories that claim to have libart and libgnomecanvas and re-installed xournal, but the libraries didn't come along for the ride. I also don't see an obvious way to re-install just the libraries, and nothing popped out from the obvious forum searched.

So, newbie question: where can I find the packages for libart and libgnomecanvas?

Thanks,

That's because dpkg does not automatically retrieve dependencies.
In order to install the dependencies use apt-get from command line (as root)

Hi anidel

Thanks for porting over this great app.

Now as I'm a complete noob at this, I've run into a couple of issues I'll like to ask you about.

I'm running a N800 Updated to the latest version of OS2008, and am running xournal version 0.4.2.1-1diablo2

First, the row of icons at the bottom of the screen do not appear to be working. Is this normal, or have I messed up my install somehow. I installed from maemo.org .

Also, the Auto save preferences are not accessible, and xournal appears at times to be trying to auto save, literally every other second, making it difficult to write.

Would appreciate you commenting on this issues. Otherwise, I'm Having a great time, using it.

You should read at least couple of the latest posts in thread before posting.

from message #110 you find that discussion is going on in this thread http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18837 and reading couple of posts there you'll find that you are running alpha version of xournal which has its problems

@mikkov

Thanks. Ended up just missing reading that post, when going through the thread, and the announce thread didn't pop up in my initial search results so missed it.

That'll teach me look for stuff when half a asleep :-)

Also I am very busy now between the relocation to the UK (to start a new job, thus needing to finish stuff for the old one and prepare to change house) and the Maemo Summit in Berlin!

Pretty busy days.. sorry for not posting any update and for not having time to continue to work on Xournal.

I'll complete the diablo port as soon as everything is settled down.

This kind of balance between stable (old) and raw development (broken) led Debian to create a testing distribution... no critical bugs in (I think it was) 2 weeks bumped it over to the testing pool. In practice it works really well.

Not entirely sure, does Maemo have anything of that sort?

There are different Xournal versions in different repositories. You will use stable software if you don't use development repositories.

Not a total separate distribution, alas, but for extras and extras-devel it's kind of like that. (Not by time with no bugs reported, though, especially since it's reasonably likely they wouldn't get reported. It's at the author's discretion when they want to push it to extras.)

The downside of that is that some cool stuff never makes it out of -devel, and so some of us habitually run -devel enabled, and just dodge the really bad stuff.

No you're missing the point - there can be a third option. Debian testing isn't yet stable but it isn't active development (sid) either. It lets you try out newer versions and still have stuff that's not likely to crash or lose functionality in normal usage.
