Greetings:


With my N800 and OS2008 firmware I tried to open a page on Maemo Garage with the list of all the programs.

The OS2008 will not open this page.

Anyone else have the same difficulty.

Regards Robert

You're going to have to be far more descriptive than that. What does that mean exactly?

Works fine for me here.

Just paste the URL into your next message and I'll give it a try.

It did. Which means I can't reproduce your problem to work on it.

When you installed OS2008, did you restore anything from a backup file? That's known to cause browser issues.

Greetings Technut:

Bingo you hit the nail on the head.

I did do a restore from a backup file.

Oh well I'll wait for the official 2008OS release in Mid December.

This time I won't backup files.

Thanks again

Ditto. I don't think restoration from backup is the problem.

The problem as discussed in the bug report, it's because the configuration file ~ /.browser
You may have the option engine=opera if you used opera in your OS2007, but if you used microb in OS2007 this will be engine=microb and there isn't problem.

It's also my case, I haven't problems with the browser after restore from backup, but I used microb in OS2007.

Although I may be wrong.

I have the same problem on my n800/IT2008beta, and it is repeatable for several sites, not only maemo.org/downloads.

Would you be so kind to explain to a Linux noob how to modify the .browser file in the system so that all instances of engine=opera are translated into engine=microb?

And btw - what's the .browser file for?
