- right click (or hold if you are doing it on the N8x0) - save file (use internal memory).
Open file manager and go to the location where you saved the .deb file. Execute (it will open application manager and install the package).

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

What a mess in here :)

I think the real bad idea is to have osso-software-version-rx*4 not installed. It's a kind of central package.. 618 dependencies!!!
And this whole thread is about upgrading this exact package, so the people who don't have it, erm.. can't uprade it!?

People who have "not installable" or who want to know if this or that is installed can try
apt-cache policy <packagename> to track a bit more their problem. This command tells you which version you have installed and to which version apt-get can upgrade it, and from where.

apt-cache policy osso-software-version-rx44

Concerning size problems, I just saw this maemo-specific tag:
"Maemo-Required-Free-Space: 20480"
Looks like that was not enough or not used at all..

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

GA,
Thanks for clarifying the download issue. If it downloads to mmc2 on an N810 I can see a problem.. that's the internal flash and it could well be pretty full.. (presumably it doesn't automatically download to mmc2 on an N800 if there's no card in there..?)

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

Is it possible tp upgrade the partition on my sd if I can no longer boot from it?
I think thats the problem. After the failed update my n800 wont boot to my sd anymore. I can only boot from flash and I have already updated the bootmenu, but still no go. When I boot to flash I can see my sd card and read/write to it just fine. All my files are there.

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

Just a note.. this is the reason in my steps posted previously that I decided to upgrade the SD first...

While reloading the bootmenu is a minimal problem - having to do it twice is just an annoyance. If you install to SD first; wipe your boot menu; you'll boot into flash. Then install in flash (before fixing boot menu) .. tablet reboots and you're still in flash.

Then you fix the boot menu.. and both SD and Flash are updated with only one bootmenu fix. If you do it the other way (flash first).. you end up fixing boot menu after flash to boot to sd.. then fixing bootmenu after SD to get back into SD.

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

I am one of the few lucky one that has encountered no problem, so far. I just want to confirm that during the update, it does state (or ask) for 20 MB space.

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

That was probably me, trying to keep the technical discussion in one thread and the newbie problems in another... I've discovered that it is like trying to herd cats, however. Better just to shrug and let it go...

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

I got the new update (or at least my control panel says that I did), but I too did not get the new version of the initfs, and my bootmenu remains intact. Does anyone know what changes were made in the initfs? Do I need the new one? Why? And how do I get it, now that the update is done and nothing is showing as needing an update? Perhaps I already have it, and I need to run that flash-and-reboot thing?

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

Run flash-and-reboot in a terminal manually and then reboot and install bootmenu.

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

Exactly, I have not installed 30-2, so for me it's not right at the moment. I think I need to have the previous repo to reinstall 30-2

my application manager log:

hildon-application-manager 2.1.16
apt-worker: Ignoring version from wrong domain: libdb4.2 4.2.52+dfsg-2
apt-worker: /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras_dists_diablo_free_bina ry-armel_Packages
apt-worker: Ignoring version from wrong domain: libreadline4 4.3-10
apt-worker: /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras_dists_diablo_free_bina ry-armel_Packages

OK, something is wrong with that, but I'm not sure what. I have installed some chinook things, but i disabled those repositories before updating. How can i find exactly what came from where in my installed packages?

If I do that can i break it worse? Right now it appears to be working, it's just not updated
I'll read those posts about cloning the OS before trying that, next time I'll have a full backup before upgrading.

Isn't that kind of extreme? It means i would have to reinstall everything (I did the backup when asked, I just don't know what was backuped)

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

From GA:
You know, I thought I understood multi-booting with multiple partitions, but I guess I don't. If I run the SSU while booted to my SD partition, why would the SSU have any knowledge of my flash partition? Why would I need to bother with Fanoush's initfs_flash on the SD parition?

I's there a howto or wiki that describes what a NIT does when it powers up?

My simplistic understanding is:
* The hardware looks to a hard-wired address where it finds the equivalent of 'bios" and executes it.

* The "bios" performs basic hardware checks and then passes control to a boot loader. Code from the boot loader locates the kernel, loads it and executes it to start the boot proper. (In a non-cloned NIT it would just load the kernel and start the inits for the rootfs, inittab, etc. In a cloned NIT it displays the boot menu)

*After the kernel loads, it initializes device drivers etc. Once it is completely initialized, it finds the root filesystem, mounts /.

What am I missing?

Thanks for the hand-holding;

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

It doesn't have anything at all to do with your flash partition. initfs, kernel, bootloader and the config are all separate partitions from any rootfs partition you boot from, so when you install the SSU update on the SD partition, it overwrites the bootmenu on your initfs partition again.

Both internal flash and SD use the same initfs, kernel, bootloader and config partitions.

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

Well, thanks to the currently 292 posts regarding the ssu update, I have sucessfully updated flash and mmc boots. Had lots of errors along the way, but as I read through all of this, managed to slowly but surely get rid of all of them. My eventual fix for at least half of the problems I ran into here? Disable all but the minimal repositories, apt-get clean, install -f, and update. Fixed all of my bugs except for a couple having to do with install tools still showing in applicaiton manager (uninstalled) and some canola bugs (uninstalled and reinstalled) Everything seems stable now, and thanks to everyone who bothered to explain in details the problems they were having, and everyone else who helped explain solutions, reasons, etc...

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

Thanks, but what new stuff will that give me? I'm just wondering why I would update the initfs? Stability? Speed? Racing stripes?

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

flash-and-reboot flashes the kernel and initfs.

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

as my fresh from a reflash and ssu uname -a shows what looks to be the same kernel as before the ssu, im not sure it would provide much.

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

Yes, but what will it give me that I don't have already?

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

Ok, completed the SSU to my SD part, boot menu back.

I did a cursory 10 minute Google and ITT search (also looked in the wiki), but did not find an answer to this question.

How do I change my terminal prompt back to what I had before? It now says Nokia-N810-23-14. I knew how to do this two months ago ... rats.

EDIT: Just change the hostname in /etc/hosts (used nano) . The terminal prompt displays \h:\w\$ , from $PS1 variable.

Thanks,

Steve

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

Quite possibly some important futex fixes, but I couldn't say for certain at this point.

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

How long does the update take? I've been stuck on the "Installing" pop up and the progress bar hasn't moved in hella days... (about 15 minutes ;) )

Edit: Well the whole thing took approximately 50 minutes... it seems to get stuck about halfway through, then again when the progress bar is full before its reboot. Have patience, for me everything went well and I received the "Successful Upgrade" pop-up after it rebooted itself.
The new version is also reported in the "About Product" screen from control panel.

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

I also have had troubles with the update. I'm not surprised, it's no big deal. I'm devoting my life to making my N800 work, so I have no reason to complain. Just don't tell me to get a life. That option has been deleted.

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

The Diablo upgrade actually fixed my x-server problems which had knocked out my app manager(something to do with advanced backlight/regular light/sound and omweather)!!! :) Then it borked my dual boot!! :( Got dual boot back following steps here!!! :))) Pretty easy. OK now the hard part, after reading about 450 posts in 4 threads I still don't understand how to put qwerty's mmc speed/rotation from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?yzgm9ywyity) into this new Diablo/dual boot.

Now I keep losing the dual boot when I try to put qwerty's mmc speed/rotation on new Diablo/dual boot. I've read that you need to use new flasher then put the bootable dual boot back in. How do you do those steps in order. I know I'm close. Also can Brontides steps (/usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh, and noatime fix for /usr/sbin/mmc-mount.) be added afterwards into this new Diablo upgrade without borking?? I ask because the Nokia flasher no longer works. TIA, Dan

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

I've noticed that you have to reinstall that option after the update.

EDIT: I can't seem to get it to reinstall! Has the repository gone down, or something?

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

Does anyone else use openssh? I don't know if it's just me, but it seems I'm having more trouble using openssh (and sftp). Before I set it up so I could login easily just by typing in the IP along with root and its password. Now it's slower and has more connection difficulty.

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

Wifi powersaving. Make XChat idle in a semi-active channel or something and you'll be set.

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

But for idle times for WLAN idle times it says unlimited. And for my accounts (I have GC+Gizmo) It's always on green. It could be getting a weak signal, though it was working from this distance before. (and I can still use the tablet just fine).

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

Wifi Power Saving Mode (or PSM) is not related to timeout periods.

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

Hmm, any reason why it changed? (Tried your suggestion and it worked). And I don't have to necessarily use xchat, I can use anything that would keep Wifi power saving mode from kicking in right. So something like Pidgin would work.

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

It didn't change, your network usage changed.

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

My network usage changed? I'm doing the same thing I've been doing before. Using my desktop in Linux with TB, FF, and Pidgin open. While I transfer files to and from my tablet (which usually just stays on the home screen).

Though the internet has been slow today strangely. But I don't think that would impact the network's speed though. Unless my sister was doing something on the internet..

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

The flash-and-reboot did NOT fix the initfs here (still has old initfs and kernel - control panel says I have updated). Do anyone have a pointer to the boot real sequence? If I have a good description of how the n800 is booting and what links it has to the internal flash when booted from SD I can probably figure out how to fix this...

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

Hello ALL
I'm somewhat confused right now because my issues just now started happening:
Here's a list of them:

1. Everything is working "EXCEPT" my internet connection, but the LAN reports its connecting and working fine. I get and IP/SUBNET/etc
2. When I try and got on to the web I get an error msg: Memory low (even when the device is plugged in
3. Can't send/receive emails
4. Control Panel OS Version reads: NULL (but didn't yesterday) - WLAN: OK - Bluetooth: OK
I'm able to take Screenshoots, but can't post because I can't get the tablet to connect.

Any suggestions? Before I re-Flash?

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

I am trying to update my tablet but even thought i updated my repos, i dont see a "os 2008 feature upgrade" app listed in my update menu. Also, what's even more alarming is that it says that my osso-software-version is missing! :eek::eek::eek::eek: nooooo! I really, really need a way to get my osso-software-version fixed, is their a way to fix this??, If not, i'm screwed..

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

Did you bother to read the thread?

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

I have small problem with booting from internal card. (I try to read this topic and use search).

I do as in this post:
So menu appears. When i select booting from internal card, I get message (as usual): "booting from immc2...". But after several seconds tablet restarted.
How can I fix this?

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

I have a really random and trivial bug since I installed this update.

For some reason my battery icon does not animate while charging any more.

Its no big deal, but I’m just curious if this happening for anybody else? Is there a way to turn the "battery filling up" animation on and off?

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

worked for me - back online booting with updated SD partition, but I did read through all the thread.

quick summary of avoiding problems and the explicit steps:

1. backup existing bootmenu.conf
   
   Code:

   ---

   cp /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf /media/mmc2/

   ---

2. be in 'blue pill' mode so app manager not confused
3. do the update from sd partition (auto reboots)
4. boot from internal flash
5. confirm 'blue pill' mode again
6. update again
7. grab fanoush's initfs_flasher
   
   Code:

   ---

   wget http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/initfs_flasher.tgz

   ---

   do this because he has added the links already, or update your old install as per http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...1&postcount=24
8. unpack, cd, recover bootmenu.conf, flash (auto reboot)
   
   Code:

   ---

   tar xzf initfs_flasher.tgz
cd initfs_flasher/
cp /media/mmc2/bootmenu.conf .
./initfs_flash

   ---

remaining niggles:

• my battery icon does still show the 'recharge' animation
• haven't fixed /etc/hostname yet
• app manager shows 2 'Nokia System Software Updates' entries, but I presume this is because I need to set Distribution to '/' instead of './' in order to get it to refresh. deleted the one that said /diablo/, kept the one that said /diablo-1/. still had to change './' to '/' or it comes up 'failed to refresh'. (my isp ??? no other itt posts seem to mention)

well, just in case I wasn't the last to upgrade...

rob.

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

Hum.. the sources.list keeps on being modified... to a wrong repository.. this is really getting annoying.. and it also removes my sdk entries which I definetly need..

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook diablo free non-free

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...el/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

ARGGG!!!

Is this apt-worker?

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

Tried refreshing the gtk icon cache?

hostname I doubt will be updated. It does not belong to any package. Infact, come think of it, the diablo I was using before it was released had no hostname file at all. I [had then] installed it on top of chinook and the chinook hostname file got deleted.

You were meant to keep both entries.

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

My recharge icon is working again now... for no good reason. Maybe it got all the silliness out of it's system after recovering from a pretty severe crash.
