Tablet was in screen off mode. Has anyone ever seen this situation before and could explain to me what might go wrong? NetworkManager scans every 60 seconds on average.

From what I've seen, it only scan for available connections once right ofter it disconnects and stop. It doesn't do anything after that unless I manually reset it and reconnect.

Hello from saxony,

I tried to install Jaunty and run always into trouble, now i install mer and it works. Congratulation for your work.
Two questions I have. the application manager couldn't find any installable program. How do I add some repositories and which one. and How do I close some programs? I tried to add repositories and don't know the adress. I couldn't close the dialog. He always ask me for the adress and there was no cancel-Button.

Thanks alot,

Erni35

OK, I lied. To fix the crash-everything-when-using-Control-Panel-Panels bug, I had to fix the desktop layout. When you see a hildon-desktop-layout-alpha update, you really want to rm -rf ~username/.osso/hildon-desktop before rebooting.

Re: Mer 0.11 released
 

Closing is done through the rightmost switcher menu that shows up when applications are loaded. You have 95% of Ubuntu at your disposal, sudo apt-get install <something> in x-terminal. Application Manager only shows things in user/ section (where we put stuff that is suited for Mer directly)

The "back" button, or Escape, works to close dialog boxes without cancel. This is a Fremantle artifact..

Question,

Booting from the flashable image. So far very impressed.

One issue that is bugging me, which I couldn't find an answer to in search, is where can the dim delay be set?

I would like to either set the delay to a much longer time of inactivity, or disable dim all together (esp while plugged in for example).

Thanks in advance.

Re: Mer 0.11 released
 

For those of you with WiFi problems in Mer, I've uploaded a new NetworkManager, which does not scan while associated which seems to fix the issue. I hope it doesn't cause problems while roaming, but we'll see.

(apt-get update; apt-get install network-manager=0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu1mer1)

There's also the other issue of WiFi power saving not working currently. How many of you have "hot" tablets when running Mer?

Re: Mer 0.11 released
 

OK, so we're playing a little with BlueMan.

Now, you can probably see why this piece of software would have appeal, but we need someone who knows Python who'd be willing to Hildonize this beast - any takers?

Re: Mer 0.11 released
 

Blueman is a little buggy in my experience, I used it for some time. Though it offers considerably more options than whats available.
