Hi everyone,
This site has been a great place to find information about MeeGo, N9, and Maemo.
This morning to my surprise, after manually checking for updates, I was offered the upgrade to PR1.2.
I have a factory unlocked Hong Kong variant (as far as I know) purchased at home in Canada, and currently temporarily living in Jerusalem, Israel. I was in London when PR1.1 was released and it took almost 2 weeks to get the update and by that point I was in Denmark. So to only way 2 days to get the update from initial release was great.

I clicked update all (maybe that was a mistake), I then cancelled some of the ones I could, others downloaded and installed, and some wouldn't install. I then clicked the MeeGo update, did the backup, then told it to download, took about 50mins to download about 283MB, then it did the update, got to about 72%, said the update failed, and would reboot in 5 seconds. It rebooted, attempted to rescue the update, rebooted once or twice during the process, then told me it exceeded the max # of attempts and to try with NSU, or take it to a Nokia repair centre. I pressed ok, rebooted, same thing, Pressed ok again, rebooted, and it seems to be working, and seems to have been updated, along with the apps that needed PR1.2, but the version number reported is PR1.2 (20.2011.40-4_PR_005) and NSU says there's an update of 1.2GB.
Also I can't seem to uninstall apps. I have a few apps that I suspect may be the cause:
1) MeeFolders was previously installed, but was uninstalled about a week ago.
2) I have a Hebrew keyboard (not downloaded from Ovi Store, but I believe it's now available, no longer needed as Hebrew is supported natively in PR1.2)
3) Calendar Feed 0.6.1
4) Calendaricon 1.0.0
5) DiY OperatorLogo 0.0.1
6) Home screen settings 1.0.0
7) LPMCustomizer (neither this or DiY was used, as I took the icon I had off incase it was eating my battery, although unlikely I think, battery was dying in a matter of hours just normal mixed idle/active use)
8) MeeFolders 0.1.0 (installed about 2 or 3 days ago)

I plan to do a back up and use NSU to download and install PR1.2 again. I also so PR1.2 is now on Navifirm, so I guess I could reflash it that way if needed.

What is the best course of action at this point?

Is there a terminal command I can use to manually uninstall those 8 apps before doing the backup and using NSU?

Do you need more info?

Thanks in Advance,
Daniel

Flashing using Nokia Software Updater will erase all your apps, so you don't need to worry about uninstalling things ahead of time.

Check out the flashing guide I posted the other day (though it centers around flasher rather than NSU).

Anyone in US with the Australian version got the update? Mine doesn't show anything yet.

I removed the apt cache you mentionned, I also used QAD cleaner to remove /home/user/.cache and /.grob/cahe.
I've disabled AND uninstalled developer mode...
Restarted device... and same issue Any other recommendation?

Hmmm Singapore -005 and on tmobile USA. Still nothing for me. Any suggestions other than waiting and flashing?

The only Australian ones that have had the update are unlocked models and ones purchased through Virgin (which I am guessing have vanilla firmware, and not spammed firmware like the Optus one I have....)

Same thing (save for network) but I didn't get OTA. You can go with NSU right now I bet though (mine did.) It was generally fine (besides losing apps) but it did break my dev-mode so I had to do some work to get that working again.
That's an option if you don't feel like waiting for the OTA update though I think most who went with OTA haven't had issues. All I recommend is like said before- remove extra repos and all the tweaking programs. 1.2 is definitely faster and more responsive for me.
