Hi guys,

thanks for the dialogue (although I'm not sure how much of it is related to my initial question)...

meizirkki... the version installed is whatever was linked by default from the install page. There is no close button for the dialogues (and that is part of my problem because I can't find a way to close some of them, such as the new repository page).

If this is 0.15 then there are still a heap of issues.

Peter.

Which is why it's a 0.1x release, not a 1.x release. . . .

Agreed GeneralAntilles, but surely if you want people to test it, some idea how to load apps into it (which is what I'm after) would help?? I can't do a thing with it at the moment, open pdf's, listen to pods.. nothing that would have me testing the software.. isn't that the intent of releasing it at 0.1x??

Peter.

Right, currently the image points at Mer Extras Stable repository, which doesn't have that much stuff in it just yet (we'll start filling in there eventually). What is primarily needed testing is the Mer system itself, not the extras.

You can possibly edit repository to point to http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...le_Ubuntu_9.04 instead.

If something doesn't exist in Hildon Application Manager, it is likely you can grab some things in it's native Ubuntu form (we only show Hildon applications in HAM).

Check out http://packages.ubuntu.com - if you find a package name, you can probably 'sudo apt-get install packagename' in X-Terminal and get the application that way.

Excuse if this is a daft question, but are Ubuntu packages compiled for ARM architecture? I thought that they were mainly x86 Intel/AMD?

Many thanks

Dan

Yes, it's on ports.ubuntu.com. Jaunty is ARMv5, Karmic is ARMv6+vfp

That's great news, I didn't know that. I have just installed v0.14 and will have a play! The links to v0.15 don't seem to work, but I don't mind waiting and starting again in a few days.

I'm in Mer now and having a lot of fun on my N810. If you enjoy the wtf stage, which I do, this is a great time to play with Mer. So far I've just run Midori and Tear and I think I just installed a file manager.
