I meant that Extras-Devel repo contains newest versions of software, and so unstable and buggy. They might have not been tested carefully yet and so can cause various issues. So, it usually advised to not install this repo unless you are ready for problems

Telescope is in both Extras (version 1.0.3) and Extras-Devel (version 2.0~rc5). Proof links:

So, you may check that you have correctly enabled repository. Could you run as root following commands and post here the output:
Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
Code:
apt-get update

Ehmm... Which model of the device do you have? N900?

Telescope is only for N8x0 tablets. If you have N900, you don't need Telescope — you already have visual task switching and fullscreen application menu in Maemo5. Telescope was created to give the same experience to owners of great but legacy N8x0 devices.
Enjoy your N900

oh wtf haha alright sorry for the confusion! i thought telescope was a better visual task swticher cuz they were significantly larger thumbnails as well as its capability in portrait mode lmao.. which raises the question why ours isn't like that

Because no one have tried to improve hildon2 in maemo5 yet

AFAIK, hildon is fully opensourced now, including hildon2 from Maemo5. So, if you interested, you can freely hack it

Add the following line to /etc/telescope.keys

press(F6): shell(/usr/bin/oss-xterm)

Press fullscreen key in telescope to launch xterm. Close xterm and you now have a zombie process until you restart telescope. Works with any application launched with telescope's shell command.

This bug helped me test zombie highlighting in my app but now I'm finished so you can fix it if you want.

Thank you! Actually, i have't tested this functionality very carefully (though it was working for a couple of randomly chosen commands). This is easy to fix because i already have working launching code written by angun for Launcher part

I'm having a few problems on my N800 since I updated to the latest RC version of Telescope. After I first click on Telescope statusbar applet, nothing else will be clickable.

I didn't install anything else, nor did I update any other apps, and it didn't happen before the update.

Any ideas?

Ouch, sounds like a serious defect

Does this happens if you call Telescope with Home key? Or only with statusbar applet?

It's definitely the statusbar applet. I uninstalled after confirming it would happen every time - first things on the statusbar stopped being clickable as well as on the desktop, eventually even things on apps you had open as well.

Now I still have Telescope and it works perfectly, just don't have the statusbar installed now so... no bugs with the main app.
