This is exactly what Netscape was trying to do when MS killed them with IE.

Anyone with Google Docs? I found a thread that said that it couldn't be used since MicroB is F3 based... but Flock is also based on F3 and it works on it...
Google Gears has been updated to support Firefox 3 yet it still doesn't work in MicroB (says its an unsupported browser).

Hi there.

Sharing a little troubleshooting here.
I tried to get Gears on my n810 a week ago.
No matter what I did, it wouldn't work on Docs or any of Googles sites. It worked fine on RTM though.
So, I changed to language from Danish to english(us) in google settings and *pling* it worked like a charm.
So, now my old me can get it working,

However, does anyone know when the updated version of the maemo port is due?

Docs wants a newer version then 0.2.9.0. And I really want Docs to go offline!

Cheers! And nice work! THX

While the package is installable, it doesn't show up for me as a component. Any hints you might throw in my direction?

It seems to work for some. So i guess it may be an OS version / browser version thing. it doesn't install for me

I have an n800 with diablo with the latest update,
dpkg -l |grep microb
microb-engine 1.0.4-60.14

could guys who got it working post their details please?

I am running diablo, and I got it to install but it DOES NOT show up as a component (or work...) - would also appreciate any advice...

Thanks, Patrick

Same here, installation succeeded but it doesn't show up as a browser component.
Anyone managed to get it working meanwhile?

I haven't managed to get anywhere with 2.9.0 on my n810 running the latest diablo updates. It will install, but it breaks microb (when you open the browser a small 'Updating' popup appears and never goes away; microb will not browse to any pages.) Uninstalling gears did not correct the problem, and I was in a hurry to get the tablet back up so I just reflashed and restored a backup.
Gears would be incredibly useful to have on the NITs, but it seems that the guy responsible for the 0.2.9 version doesn't have time to maintain it right now. I grabbed an SVN snapshot and installed scratchbox, but I'm pretty certain I'm not sufficiently skilled to get a port worked up. I'll poke at it some and if I make any progress I'll let you know, but I'm quite doubtful.

I'm just doing the same, the svn compiled fine at first but then complained about the missing package microb-eal. Apparently that package has been renamed to browser-eal in Diablo.
After updateing that dependency the package installed fine, but still doesn't show up as a component even though the browser shows "Updating..." on startup.

I wonder whether it needs to be built against the current microb svn!?

Edit: The last post in
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issue...id=292&redir=1
seems to confirm that.

Although certainly not to the level of Google Gears promise I have some of that already. I use Gmail and IMAP with the N810 mail package which allows me to create off line emails. I also use Gcalendar and run mCalendar on the N810 which provides calendar sync with off line mCalendar entry or with calendar items entered on the Web. And to a lesser extent I downloaded my Blogger.com into a file which the RSS reader on the N810 read when I clicked that file.
