Seemless updates shouldn't have these kinda issues should they?
im guessing this is the kind of issues a certain fruit wants to avoid...

I'm one of the unlucky, the ones with the infinitely rebooting N800 following an update.
I also tried flashing manually using flasher 3.0 for amd64 Linux. No joy!
My tablet displayed the little USB trident and flasher printed some messages but the reflash didn't take. I'm still stuck with an N800 that won't boot.
Messages below for those who care.

Why couldn't that just be in a nice easy selection for uninstall so that non-CLI people like my sister can easily uninstall it like the tutorial is?

Edit: Ignore me; I hadn't realized your command wrapped. (It won't do that if you use [code] tags!) The General got it right, below.

- Have installed powermenu
- ...
These things change the way the tablet works. Nokia aren't going to be able to test and support these things. It's up to the people who package these add-ons to find a way of safely reverting back to the previous behaviour if they find the world they're inhabiting gone wrong. Or to disable auto-update. Or to better inform their users.

THEN also give her the rm.. and in all of this, hope that she (or any of my other non-tech friends with an N800--of which there are several) does not mess this up or inadvertently leave open any security holes in the process.

No problems so far!
The browser is really fast!
Was Flash in fullscreen (youtube) possible before? I can't remember.

In short, this update is a disaster.
It fails because rc.d symlinks
It fails because user files
It fails because huge size
It is too big, too complex, and too invasive.
It would be much better if it would have been released as several small updates.
Removing the symlinks and rebooting without readding them = not such a good idea since mce, tablet-browser-daemon etc are quite important.

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
