Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)
 

all very smooth for me. Update icon flashed, installed from app manager, rebooted and works. browser seems a little quicker and now scrolls with 'd' pad, whereas before with the little 'd' pad deb it still only jumped down the page by hyperlinks. so, all good here!

How to know if the new release is installed, as root:
osso-product-info
=>
OSSO_PRODUCT_HARDWARE='RX-34'
OSSO_PRODUCT_NAME='N800'
OSSO_PRODUCT_FULL_NAME='Nokia N800 Internet Tablet'
OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_NAME='OS 2008'
OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_FULL_NAME='Internet Tablet OS: maemo Linux based OS2008'
OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_VERSION='4.2008.30-2'
OSSO_PRODUCT_WLAN_CHANNEL='ETSI/EU'
OSSO_PRODUCT_KEYBOARD='<unknown>'
OSSO_PRODUCT_REGION='<unknown>'
OSSO_PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME='Nokia N800'
OSSO_VERSION='RX-34+RX-44+RX-48_DIABLO_4.2008.30-2_PR_MR0'


Remove/Comment chinook entries before upgrading. At least for me it solved some conflicts.

Another way of freeing space is having a look at the biggest installed packages:
The size needed.. good question. From my earlier post:

So you will need 14.4MB to download the .deb which will then be preinsted, unpacked, postinsted and then the old files not existing anymore will be removed. In the end, you gain 28.7Kb.

Probably a preinst script is puting the tablet in a non-working state, then it's unpacked and it fails if not enough size, which is normal. But then you are in a non-working state...
Could also be a postrm script from the older version which is called before the new preinst

I upgraded through ssh and got disconnected when icd2 restarted. I was a bit scared but ssh reconnected by itself a minute after.

Re: New Update (4.2008.30-2) Help
 

I had no out-of-space error, I don't boot from card and the only software on my system has been installed from the repositories.

Nevertheless, I now have a nit that has a b0rked upgrade stuck in its bowels, which it refuses to remove.

I don't use Apple, I don't upgrade Windows and Ubuntu has never stuck me in a rut like this.

Join the club. I'm sure Nokia's response will be a deafening silence, as <100% of users are experiencing this "feature".

Check the info box in Application Mangler to see what that piece of **** software thinks the problem is. Mine says it needs ttf-bitstream-vera, a package that is not installed and I cannot find an installable version of.

Do you want me to reserve you a Pandora in september?

Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)
 

What should be the repository list now?

Trying to install perl, I'm a bit lost..

So the installed version of perl-base (which comes from?? no idea) is incompatible with the only version of perl that I'm able to find (from chinook).
Should I go back to chinook's perl.

This is a general question, which are the repositories to put in this bloody sources.list and which one especially to solve this problem?

I'm also looking for package python by the way. Not python2.5, python.

?

Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)
 

I also experienced something similar: due to lack of some important packages for the update (see my post before) update manager simply installed all the .debs without reflashing the tablet or rebooting. It did not prompt any error message on my screen, and for a few hours I was totally convinced of having updated. I could see the error messages in the configuration phase of osso-software-version only when I tried to manually run
from the command line (apologies, I don't have a screenshot of the error message :( )

As I wrote previously, the missing packages could not be installed again using apt-get and so I ended up in reflashing the tablet and then successfully running the update.

Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)
 

Sounds like you want to add the diablo sdk repo instead:...

Details:
Catalogue Name: Maemo Diablo
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/
Distribution: diablo
Components: sdk/free tools/free sdk/non-free tools/non-free

Or (not tested), these lines in your sources.list[.d]:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/sdk free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/sdk free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/tools free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/tools free

I'd rather be f*cked sideways up the yazoo by a raging rhino than reflash this f*cking brick yet again.

All this mess because Nokia's drones have the intellectual capacity of a stool sample?

Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)
 

Thanks a lot qwerty12!
I saw this sdk but was not sure that it's safe to use is on the device directly.

So, in case people are also looking for a repository list, here it is (included maemo community, not nokia-official):

Use at your own risks :)

Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)
 

For this kind of stuff you should ask at your local zoo.

Well, this is certainly significantly higher than the average intellectual capacity in this industry. This kind of SSU update is revolutionary for consumer electronics, and Nokia did not do it too badly, IMHO. It's hard to please everyone and of course the community could've implemented it better, but it's a good start.

Just try again, maybe it'll work. Oh yeah you'd have to reflash, but the rhino is waiting for you... :)

It would be interesting to see what percentage of users got trouble with the SSU update. A hand full is surely not anywhere near 100%.
