No zeez, as we are completely out of luck, it seems that Python has changed it's packages, and now you cannot "install" it from the repos. The application needs to be dependent.. and needs to be a correct package on the repo to work. : /

The guys are working on that.. but they told me that if you download and install from file.. it may work. : /

As always.. we got one score in the "Ow f*** repo" thing : /

Here's what worked for me:
Get id3lib from
install it via dpkg -i and do the same for the canola-tuner deb.

Hmm well weird: I can start Album Cover from the menu but it will hang and do nothing. If i start it from the commandline it will not even start... Just reports an error (sorry can't copy paste it right now)

Yah Zeez. thanks...
Now we need to create a working package because most of users will not now how to do it easily =)

Oh my..why it's never smooth ? =)

Update: you problem must be again some python dependencies :/ damn.. that's why we need the packages.

Canola-Tuning: Advanced Tips and Tricks to Every One

How to install the Last Version 0.2.4:

* download the debian package from Garage (http://garage.maemo.org/projects/canola-tuning)
* copy the package to your device
* as root (using XTerm ou SSH) run the command:

dpkg -i canola-tuning-0.2.4.deb

* enjoy it :-)

What are the default options and How to change it:

* By default Canola-Tuning looks for album covers is this sources:

1) Embedded Covers (ID3)
2) Local Covers (Looks into the album directory)
3) Download Covers from Amazon
4) Download Covers from Last.Fm

* This options are specified int the .desktop file, to change it you need to edit the file " /usr/share/applications/hildon/canola-tuning-album-cover.desktop". Ex.: Remove the option "-f amazon" to not check for amazon covers.

How to remove the (extra) unused covers:

* The option "-c or --clean" remove all unused album covers, run as user in the XTerm :

albumcover.py -c

* Or you can add this option to the .desktop file

I hope that mini tutorial helps some interested hacker :-)
If you had some other problem, please send me a mail or post a Bug in the garage.

I was able to install 2.4 but had to get the python dependencies using apt-get. After that it worked just fine.

Nice to hear =)))

I now need to take a break ... see you guys later!

i got Canola tuning latest version installed no prob...and upgraded to the newest Canola 2 update, but i have the problem of no audio/music for my music files....album covers downloaded fine, video thumbnails worked too....anyone else got this?

Try following these directions. They worked for me.

(don't forget to restart after installing it).

I've tried several times to install the 0.2.4 on a fresh re-flash and it refuses to find that file, even though I dl to the mem card, I gain root and followed what chenca wrote but so far no luck.

So finally I got the python2.5-id3lib installed, I just ended up finding the actual single file and installing it that way, I don't think I was in red pill mode but who friggin knows at this point anywho you can get that file here.
