Hi, the log always have more explanation.. can you send it?

It seems that any atempt to "unninstall" the failed install goes wrong, because it actually failed install because apt-get (or the engine of the application install ) crashes.

Again, when we do our tests (with clean devices, and with devices with applications) it doesn't happen so we really need the biggest amount of info to help.

So, did you try doing the fulll (command line) unninstall / install ?

If not, please tell us the message in the log on application installer
and the result of running canola from x-term!

how do i get the log ? I'm a total newbie when it comes to Linux stuff.

not, it's not related to linux...
go to application manager, hit the menu (the icon beside the window title) there's a "Tools" menu... then a "log" item.

But probably you're facing the common dependency problem. I will ask gustavo for the application so you can clean up without needing to resort to command line.

I wish it would say more than "unable to install"...

Aw goddamn, the "random song bug" is freakin back x(( I'm trying to figure out dependencies of it's appearing (

Where's the log located once you save it ? Damn, the ITT is not for people that want something easy to use.

edit: never mind, I was trying the hard way

here's the log:

@wazd : if possible try posting how to reproduce it in the garage page for canola

@e-motion : yeah, you hit the spot. You have 3 options (last one I don't recommend)

1) trying doing what is said in some post here in ITT about unninstall and install using the terminal. (it's hard for people that is not technically savvy )

2) wait a little bit until we do more tests with the "fix" application made by gustavo.. that fix this problem...

3) flash the device, and the first thing.. install canola (this will for sure work) but we don't want you to loose your settings.

I'll take option 2) but I'm going to have withdrawals

Yeah, Etrunko is finishing a easy to use package so you can use without having to know more technical stuff.

I think it will also help other people

Thanks for reporting the errors..
