Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

bro i did what you said, Yes, it does state if i wanna upgrade to hildon.... i put in Y and then enter, it says the version installed is already the latest version:(:(:(:(

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

so, anyone know how to do a blacklist of apps that we dont want to rotate, even in portrait mode? :D

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

People, please, THINK before you give advice.

Now, I might have understood something wrong, but this Hildon Desktop DEPENDS on the CSSU - if you run apt-get upgrade, it won't put you back to stock hildon-desktop - it'll put you to CSSU hildon-desktop.

Of course, that only half-matters, since hildon-desktop will be upgraded in the next CSSU update to include this auto-rotation.

Also, I might be an *** when I say thing, but my comments always have some useful info, if you actually pay attention, for the one person who didn't like what I said because I wasn't 'offering solutions' - I did indeed say that IF you had to install the CSSU, your most realistic bet is to downgrade.

Alternatively, you can go to maemo.org/packages, search for hildon-desktop, and figure out which one is the non-CSSU stock version. Download the .deb, and install with dpkg -i (and the force flag, I forget what it is, but prob'ly "--force" - use dpkg --help to figure it out). Then youmd have to pin it, and probably un-pin, update-CSSU, reinstall, and re-pin every time you want to get the next CSSU update.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

jafferkhan: it is always a good idea to assume that any random package you download off the internet is going to mess up your system. This is true on the n900, just like on any desktop system. This means you should make up to date backups and be prepared to restore your system if things don't work out.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I am failing to make keyboard-shortcuts to work with portrait hildon desktop (i modified the deb to ignore the modified-hildon-desktop dependency) but since the portrait desktop is based on the cssu desktop which is in turn based on matan's desktop I assumed it should work.

here is the modified deb, care to give it a try?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Sorry if it has already been discussed, didn't read whole topic.. Simple question, is there a way to change profile as it can be changed on landscape mode?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Is it possible that portrait-HD has killed the on-screen keyboard? It's just not there anymore, when i tap a text entry field with real keyboard closed, nothing happens!
I installed CSSU and then this right after, so maybe it was caused by CSSU.. Any hints?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I have cssu and portrait desktop installed and the onscreen keyboard works for me - both portrait and landscape, which suggests that they can play nicely together.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

what is the news for this update.. how long .. just curious to have it installed in my N900 and shock my friends so am asking ..? :)

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Now, I'm on holidays, but AFAIK it's already merged into CSSU and at some point should be available as an update.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

After install the update from 18.07 and when I play video, Media Player gives me an error "Unable to play media. media format not supported"!?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I have a problem with apt-get related top this package.
I don't have CSSU installed and I installed the package from the first post with dpkg.
Now I cannot upgrade any application as I get the error:
Does someone know how to fix this issue?
Many thanks.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

An apt-get upgrade will reinstall the default hdesktop (possibly because it prefers versions in the repo), so you may want to pin it:

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Thanks, I've done this but nothing changed: unable to upgrade any application (both via apt-get upgrade or fapman).

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

@sakya

this can be fixed by multiple ways
but as long as i don't have your N900
the best way i can tell you is :

1-) install that version which dpkg is requesting
2-) download the portrait version from the first post
3-) dpkg -L hildon-desktop # then remove the things shown
4-) dpkg -x hildon-desktop-portrait / # as root

PS:
if you wanna remove it don't just install new hildon-desktop version
you need to install the version from first post with dpkg -i
then remove it

LAST NOTE: haven't tried this on my N900
but there is no reason that it will not work
although this is at your own risk

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Purging hildon-desktop out of your device is not a good idea. If I recall correctly it'll lead to a reboot loop in less than 5 seconds

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I skipped that passage: I just installed with dpkg the stock hildon desktop and then extracted the hildon desktop portrait mode with dpkg -x
It worked: I still have the portrait mode and apt-get works fine for upgrading packages.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

i'm having the same problem i can't apt-get upgrade from xterm with out stock hildon desktop installing over the new one, going to read up on fix because i prefer to upgrade via x-term :)

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I fixed he problem with these steps:

1.Download the stock hildon-desktop: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...+0m5_armel.deb
2.Install the stock hildon desktop with
3.Overwrite the stock hildon desktop file with the one from the portrait hildon desktop:
I rebooted the phone and all seems to work fine.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

nice one works for me cheers :)

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

@sakya and all others who used dpkg -x to install hildon-desktop
it is really unhealthy way
so i made a patched .deb for hildon-desktop

NOTE : ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T USE CSSU


installation instructions :

1-) Download the original hildon-desktop portrait from 1st post or from HERE
to MyDocs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-) install it by
ignore if any problems occur saying that you have unmet dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-) Download the patched verstion of hildon-desktop from attachments or from HERE
to MyDocs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4-) install it by
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS : DON'T FORGET TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL HILDON-DESKTOP FIRST I MEAN DON'T IGNORE STEP 2

i hope i helped cheers :)


PS : MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A PREPARED BACKUP UNTIL SOMEONE CONFIRM IT'S WORKING WITHOUT TROUBLES

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

i've just had a problem i tried installing rockbox and it's saying i have unmet dependencies and hildon desktop is showing and that i should try apt-get -f install to correct it.
I've looked back through the rockbox thread and posted the problem there but no one seems to have encountered that problem.
i'm wondering if what i entered this afternoon(below) has caused a problem?

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
/home/user #

right did the apt-get and reinstalled hildon-desktop, installed rockbox(any installation brought up the unmet dependencies) re-installed hildon protrait desktop.
Now i guess i'm stil stuck with apt-get upgrade problem?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Hi all!

Does somebody have latest version of hildon-desktop binary (from gitorious sources)? I'm not skilled to compile it by my own so before the time of next cssu came, maybe someone could share .deb file of the lates code.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

corduroysack you have CSSU i think
then install the hildon-desktop from 1st post

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

yes karam i have cssu and i've installed hd_18_07_2011 should it be hildon-desktop_2.2.140-1+0m5_armel?
i thought it was a updated version to hildon-desktop_2.2.140-1+0m5_armel.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

now as the topic has been in discussion i should put my question forward :P

i've just looked @ post 1 and thats what it says to use

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

1:2.2.142-13

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Hi Guys, It's been a long time that I'm using this Hildon Desktop and I'm very satisfied of the result. The only thing I wanted to ask is HOW TO LOCK THE DESKTOP TO PORTRAIT MODE?? When I'm in portrait mode and I want to lock to Portrait mode, it goes automatically to landscape. Thanks in advance!!!

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

you cannot ATM............

@corduroysack
try this post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=461



it worked awesome with me
PS: i don't use CSSU

and i guess karam said that using sakya's way is unhealthy

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

This method worked, but I can't seem to open the desktop customization menu. What should I do?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

cheers Mohammad but i'm using ccsu and karam says it's for people who don't use cssu.
i think the way i did it messed up my device i still don't know fully if i've sorted it.
i've installed 100 boxes and that worked ok so i'm guessing so.


just installed tweego and it's not returning that error :)

Edit: Very dumb question! Answer at page 2 :mad:

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

i guess you can fix it by doing this :


@corduroysack
don't do that this will reverse to the old hildon-desktop
just install the one from the 1st post as long as you use CSSU and ignore any updates about hildon-desktop
