Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

i have already set this option to Forced and the other option "Around axis" is also set to "Z" . but not to avail

let me tell u in brief :
1. after updating to cssu stable (yesterday) i m not receiving mails on my device 2. rotation is not taking place 3. my device has become more slower 4 . i have installed tweak flash plugin and set it to android version but facebook and website videos are not playing
5. microB is misbehaving (as not displaying stuff properly)
i can not enable maemo.org (extras) simltaniously with cssu repository and testing repo . " i have to disable the maemo.org rep in order to update the other two repos and vice versa .

i had a great impression for cssu before installing it but i dont think it was a good idea installing it...

but still trying and hoping for things to become normal

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

hmmm...before you install Stable version did you full re-flash you device???
full re-flash is including flashing Fiasco Images & eMMC vanilla as well...a full-reflash is the best way if you wanted to use Stable version...just remember to make backup before you start flashing your devices...

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

NO ! i did not made a full or partial reflash as i m afraid of losing my beloved N900 forever. i have read threads about people bricking their device and losing their devise and money as well.

but still if there is no other way, i am willing to reflash my devise but there is a confusion . when i go to the nokia repo for downloading the emmc and fiasco images i get confused for which file/image to download . if i provide u my devices's IMEI number, will u suggest me the exact and appropriate images name.
thanks for ur continous help

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

thank you for your help:). In fact the problem is like this:
1-I try to update CSSU namely "mp-fremantle-community-pr" in app manager..But IN Details i read this :"missing package libwildmidi0"
2-It shows me a message that I should update this package using "Nokia PC Suite" which in turn will guide me to update this package.
3-when i connect my device to Nokia PC suite and open "nokia software updater" it shows that I have the latest software version.

so I don't know what the problem is??:confused:
hope that somebody know anything abut this problem

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

The 2nd upgrade is here!

The list of changes can be found here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/...830.03.2012.29

The most interesting part probably is, that portrait wallpapers now work.
Reboot, rotate your device to portrait and assing a wallpaper with the ususal menu, this wallpaper settings is stored seperately from the landscape wallpaper, so you can have dedicated portait wallpapers now :).

Of course this only works if you've enabled desktop rotation, todo that and other things see http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Update via HAM.

Problem with 9 desktop disappear.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

"Removed zoom functionality."
Zoom on press still works although I do not see the line in transitions.ini. Please advise.

Meanwhile, I am seeing graphic artifacts on the top black line in the Select connection screen. Rebooting made it go away, but now I'm seeing them on one of the desktop backgrounds.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

I found some parts of transitions.ini got changed, after this update.
A reboot fixed most, app shortcut size changed back to default.
I used theme customizer to fix that.

Thank you, for the update.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

After receiving some suggestions to my problems posted above, i couldn't correct anything . so i left every effort and started using my N900 for normal routine tasks. all of a sudden all things got running better , i mean all my problems with my device just vanished. everything is now in perfect health on my device . i found about an update for the cssu stable and updated it . now my beloved N900 has got wings (IMO) . i m very happy and enjoying. it is loving me back .

LOL ! thankss for putting me on silent mode ... no more nitdroid

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Removed zoom functionality is about the proof of concept full zoom that was in hildon-desktop. One could zoom in and out the full screen wit Ctrl+Shift+S and Ctr+Shift+D, but there were several issues with it so that it isn't useable.

About your graphical artifacts, I fear you've got a hardware problem there, the render code itself only changed for tasknav. But I also remember having weird artifacts from time to time on one of my devices, a reboot usually got rid of them though.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

i want to ask that can i use any power kernel ? is it safe with cssu and if yes then which one to choose ? does installing/uninstalling softwares from repositories affect the power kernel ?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Hi.
I have recently up graded to 21.2011.38-1Smaemo3 and after that i have run that code for portrait wallpaper. But it is not working. After i changed the background in portrait mode, the portrait wallpapers of my 4 desktop became black and the landscape wallpaper changed. Please tell me what to do......

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

don't get over-excited
well kernel-power is safe
you can install it along with cssu stable

one advice
take out some time to read forums rather than asking noob questions

edit/ you can use kp50 its stable

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Did you restart your device? Also make sure, you don't have theme customizer.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

yup, i did restart my device a number of times but still portrait wallpaper is black.
Uninstalling Theme Customizer is necessary to make portrait wallpaper work?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Yes, it's necessary. Moreover, you will have to reinstall hildon-home package.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Can you please tell me how to reinstall hildon home package?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

My N900 that I have on CSSU stable takes ages (10 minutes or so) to get a GPS lock. Anyone else running CSSU stable have this problem?

My N900 running PR1.3 gets a lock in under 2 minutes, both in the same location both with network positioning turned on and connected to wifi.

If nobody else running CSSU stable has this problem, then I can look for some other cause for this.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

In the Terminal as root

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

GPS fix has been always been equally slow for me (pre and post CSSU), as I have A-GPS off.
Have you got the same Network positioning server on both devs?
IIRC some mentioned the server can get reset when installing CSSU.
Try "supl.google.com" it's better than "supl.nokia.com" I believe.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

I have uninstalled Theme Customiser and then reinstalled hildon-home....but still my portrait walllpaper is black........please help...

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

They are both using the Nokia servers and since they are on the same wifi they should then work equally well, I'll try the Google servers anyway. Thanks.

EDIT: Just tried the Google servers and it got a lock almost straight away. Weird that one is ok with Nokia's servers and the other isn't, I think a little more testing is in order, but I can live with using Google's servers instead of Nokia's for A-GPS.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

same happened to me...

1.- gconftool-2 ... portrait_wallpaper ... true
2.- hildon-home reinstallation
3.- set the wallpaper....
4.- reboot
5.- ...and black background in portrait :-s

If I reboot the device holding it in portrait mode the wallpaper remains at startup... but when I change to landscape and then back to portrait again, the black background returns...,

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

I just jumped the ship from testing. Just before the last update of T and this was a good one for me. Things move slower in here but they are stable :)

E.

Just tried to install Bluemaemo and I have a conflict with libeina0 which is something new as in T I just went OK. I had only install on extra specific package. Any hints? I konw that this is related to the app but it is no longer maintained.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release -- doesn't install
 

TO SUM UP:

- CSSU Stable Upgrade does not install b/c my qt4 libs are at 4.6.2 -- CSSU requires >= 4.6.99 which did not get installed with _any_ of the regular updates i made previously!
- how do i solve the conflict? ie (probably) how do i upgrade to the most recent qt packages or rather, why aren't they installed while doing the upgrade? they should be available somewhere with the new catalog(s) and APT is supposed to solve this kind of conflict automatically.
- what exactly does this upgrade other than adding a repository ("catalog") to sources.list and run apt-get update && apt-get (dist-)upgrade
- how do i accompish this upgrade on the command line? this HAM is crap and has never been usefull to me anyway.


HERE'S THE LONG STORY

ok, after reading around i decided to upgrade to CSSU.
it did not leave a good impression, that
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU
only "explains" how to browse here and click there without a single mentioning of what's going on in the background -- and i pretty soon was to find out that that's a _serious_ flaw!

i did everything as explained until point 7:
"HAM will re-open and present a system upgrade called Maemo 5 Community SSU. Once installed, your device will reboot."

HAM opens and displays several liqtm packages and on top
"Maemo 5 Community SSU Package -- Stable update #3"

hitting "Update All" sends me to "TO UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO THIS VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM YOU MUST USE NOKIA PC SUITE ON YOUR PC. CONNECT THE DEVICE TO YOUR PC VIA A USB CABLE AND LAUNCH THE APPLICATION." which is obvious nonsense -- thankfully, the FAQ covers that and really -- there are conflicts whth several qt4 packages:

libqt4-maemo5-* (<4.6.99)

that's funny. i always did all updates, PR version is the latest available -- and there's only 4.6.2~git20100203-0maemo1 installed.
- where is the qt >= 4.6.99 supposed to come from?
- what kind of package is "Maemo 5 Community SSU Package"? i can't find it via apt-cache and thus not check anything, let alone install it via apt-get

here's my sources.list (after the botched update)

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/community/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/maemo fremantle-1.2 non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://bokomoko.de/~rd/maemo unstable/


with
apt-get upgrade
i see a bunch of packages -- but wouldn't that rather be
apt-get dist-upgrade
?


i just read this thread and see a lot of "flashing" mentioned -- that scares me: either those people have no idea what they're talking about or someone did really not get what DPKG/APT is all about.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

just for the records:
truns out i had to manually remove those libqt4-maemo5-* packages which still were at 4.6.2.
no idea how that happend, but i put it down to NOKIA's way to break everything they took from Debian ... (just like my beloved error
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
upstart: PreDepends: sysvinit-utils (>= 2.86.ds1-23) or
busybox (>= 3:1.6.1.legal-1osso8) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
which remains apparently unfixable
)

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Hi Friends,

I have tried and encountered the same problem. Never installed Theme Customizer, by the way.

FIX:

I opened the Terminal to type the commands below (as described in the CSSU Wiki), but set these values to "false" instead of "true" (make sure to reboot afterwards).

That will return things back to the way they were (no portrait mode rotation).

And then go back to Terminal and set this command only to "true".

...and restart/reboot.

Now this doesn't solve the issue of being able to assign a wallpaper in portrait, but at least you won't have the black background while in portrait.

For those who were able to make it work (separate wallpaper in portrait from landscape), care to share the steps? :)

One thing I observed: after installing CSSU and the CSSU Features Configuration, setting "Rotation" to "X/Y (default)" didn't make any changes for me...I had to manually enable it by typing the gconftool-2 command as shown in the CSSU Wiki. In the prior versions there was no need to do that manually. Do you think this has something to do with the portrait wallpaper thing?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Found this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...ount=354...and it seems like one needs to "rotate" an image/wallpaper first for preparation in portrait mode. And then afterwards, set your Background Image while the N900 is in portrait mode (?). I'll try this and will give feedback.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

@topet2k12001
Enables distinct wallpapers for portrait, thus if you have no portrait wallpaper set yet you'll get a black background in portrait.

Therefore:
enable distinct portrait wallpapers --> reboot --> rotate device to portrait and set a wallpaper (instead of black background) --> be happy

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Got it, I figured that out too...and thanks for confirming. :)

One more thing that I need help in confirming. This post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=704 said that he/she was able to resolve it by setting the "edit_mode_portrait" to be "true". Is this necessary as well to achieve the desired effect?

Finally, do you have any recommendations for threads with good N900 portrait wallpapers for download? Much appreciated. :)

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Well... I also get the black portrait wallpaper. Can someone just point to the location where the wallpapers are stored for portrait mode, so I can directly throw the wallpapers there?

And yes, I tried setting a new wallpaper in portrait mode after reboot. Still black, but it replaced my landscape wallpaper (and streeeeetched the photo). ???

SOLVED: Apparently wallpaper image sets don't work in portrait mode, but if you manually choose each wallpaper, it works.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Could you please share the exact command that worked for you?
Do the other options of the application work for you?

thanks

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Hi Saturn,

After installing CSSU and CSSU Configuration App, I had to manually enable rotation by this command because the Configuration App doesn't seem to want to work OOTB ("out-of-the-box"):

Only then can it rotate. No Theme Customizer installed, no theme changed, all stock. And yes, as mentioned, in prior versions of CSSU (or the CSSU Configuration app), it will "just work" with no need to type commands manually.

Additional Information that may help. Apologies for a lengthy post, but I just thought that giving information as detailed as possible is one way of helping developers (I'm not a programmer/developer so I just consider testing/reporting bugs as my contribution to the community).

Steps I did from a freshly-flashed N900 up to CSSU Configuration App:

1. Initial Setup
- configured wifi and connected to initiate the first update that usually pops up when you have a freshly-flashed Maemo (it's a Maemo Security Update and Docs To Go)
- Rebooted N900.
- Upon reboot, opened Hildon Application Manager (HAM) to add extras-testing and extras-devel repositories. HAM will update/refresh the catalog list.
- Installed: rootsh, sudser, and Faster Application Manager.
- Installed advanced-power-monitor and advanced-power via command line. I had to purge and reinstall this via Terminal though as well as delete the leftover directory, due to that popular APMD and vanishing battery icon issue.
- Rebooted N900 to ensure that advanced-power-monitor worked.

2. Installed CSSU:
- using MicroB, went to the Wiki Page to click on CSSU Stable (installer)
- HAM opens and takes you to the installation prompts for CSSU Enabler
- In HAM, tapped/clicked on CSSU Enabler to initiate download/installation
- N900 rebooted

3. Installed CSSU Configuration App:
- Upon reboot, installed CSSU Configuration App via HAM
- After installation, display does not rotate
- Opened CSSU Configuration App. By default, Rotation is already enabled which is set to "X/Y" (Default)
- this is when typing in the "gconftool-2..." command had to be typed in Terminal for rotation to work.
- Back to CSSU Configuration App, set "Forced" rotation to apps
- Reboot N900 using the "Reboot" function of CSSU Configuration App

4. Post installation of CSSU Configuration App):
- Rotation of the UI works
- typed in the command to enable portrait wallpapers

- Reboot N900

5. Post setting the command for enabling portrait wallpapers):
- when rotating to portrait, I'm getting a black background
- Tried to follow instructions from referenced posts in my previous response (rotate to portrait and set wallpaper from there).
- Result: wallpaper changes in landscape but portrait remains black

Things I haven't tried yet:

1. I saw a post where one needs to type a gconftool-2 command to enable desktop editing (in portrait)...maybe that will help? This is the post. I haven't seen that command being listed in the CSSU page though. I only see a command to disable Edit mode.

2. I haven't tried preparing an image (rotating an image 90 degrees in preparation for setting it as a wallpaper while in portrait), as per advice by Merlin (few posts above).

3. Haven't tried setting an individual/single image as opposed to an image set, as per this post.

No, I don't use the other options of CSSU Configuration (such as parralax, columns, etc.). Just the "Forced" rotation of apps, and the rotation of the UI itself (X/Y).

Thanks. :)

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

ok I now understand what you meant. In the instructions you can already find your solution.

In short, the stable version has the rotation locked by default. you can either enable it with the command you mention or by installing the status-area-orientationlock-applet.

Note in the CSSU features application the x/y or z option controls the axis you would like the rotation to happen.

All is working correct.
Cheers.

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Hi Saturn,

I see...so now I understand that in the latest stable, the rotation feature is locked by default and is to be unlocked; that is the easy part. The only item left that I'm struggling with is the portrait wallpaper. I will give it another shot by trying the steps I haven't done yet, and will revert for feedback. Thanks for the assistance!

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

That is the only way you'll get portrait wallpapers.

The thing is, that wallpaper image sets are applied according to their .desktop files. So if you apply any of the existing wallpapers it will get applied to desktop 1-4.
With cssu though you have desktop 1-9 and the portrait wallpapers are saved to virtual desktops 10 to 18 (where #10 is portrait of the real desktop #1) so any of the standard image sets is not going to give you a portrait wallpaper.
You either need to edit an image set .desktop file to get them added for the portrait "desktops" or just apply each image seperately.

An example for a .desktop file can be found here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=393

Btw for anyone wondering, the wallpaper settings are saved to /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/# (in the gconf store), you can use the following command to show your current settings:

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

hey, is there an image so I can flash my n900 with the latest pure version of cssu?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

Confirmed!

Indeed...when you get a black background after enabling the gconftool-2 command for portrait_wallpaper...the UI "creates" a new "view". And to set images we either need to edit a file as mentioned by merlin or, go the easy way by setting up a single image per background (so set 4 images).

Thanks for the insights and explanation. I was able to appreciate what happens "underneath" the surface. :)

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release
 

No. You'll have to flash PR1.3 then update to the CSSU from there.
