Having the same problem here.

At first, I thought the text dissapeared after I installed ogg-support-lightmediascanner... but after few tests it proved (or at least seemed to) have no effect on this.

Uninstalled everything with connection to Canola, even cleaned up settings... all to no avail.

Anyway, at least we can see the updates in status bar now. Hopefully one of them will fix it :-) .

hi,
Any idea how to fix this issue ? i uninstal all canola and next install canola last version still same problem.

thx

Fixed:
libevas0 0.9.9.042-maemo4 is the problem, along with the loaders.

Downgrade to these packages:
and you're set.

That's the price of using extras-devel maemo4 is not propagated to extras, hence not too much people with this problem...

Find the packages here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...k/free/e/evas/
or here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...k/free/e/evas/

i removed extras-devel from sources, upgraded (having previously downgraded many libs), got a new libevas0, and all is well. Thanks.

Removed canola from applications.
used wget to get all above listed packages.
removed developer extras from source list
installed above packages using dpkg (using apt-get to fix any dependencies)
reinstalled canola2

worked

Thanks alot man!

Can anyone outline (a bit more simply) how to downgrade/upgrade?

EDIT2: Ok so before you try all this, read Bundyo's post below this. If that doesn't work (unfortunately it wouldn't for me which is why i had to go the manual route ) then you can try the following.

I tried to be as clear as possible and cover anything that may go wrong so it may be a little long. If you want just the points, just look for the red bolded text..

---------------------------------------------------

OK so I'll try to make this a little more clear:

Basically, go into your applications manager and remove canola2 along with any plugins.

Now also remember to remove the developer extras repository from your source list. I believe you click the title bar in the application manager and click tools, and it should be in there. I'm not on my NIT at this time so i can't check quickly, but if you added it in, you should know how to disable it

Then connect to your terminal either through the built in one on the tablet, or what I like to do is ssh with the root login from another computer on the network.

Once in make sure you have root privileges. You will see this if the command prompt has a # sign instead of a $ sign. Be careful what you do as root as if your not, you can seriously screw things up. If you don't have root privileges, try searching around the forums to see how to get into root/super user mode. I beleive there was something called "gainroot" ... not too sure. I just create an ssh connection and log in as root with the password i created when it prompted me to when i was installing openSSH on my tablet.

from here you will need to do the following (there is probably an easier way then to wget the debs but i found this to be the most straightforward for me)

go into any folder on your n800, or maybe use the temp folder. It wont matter too too much since you'll probably delete these files after. It just makes it easier if your new at this if theres no other files in the folder.

to change directories:
OR if you just want to use the temp folder:
OR if you want to create a temp folder in your user directory: (Probably the easiest way since you just need to delete that folder once your done)



now that you have your folder created and are in it, you can use wget to grab those packages.

try typing "wget" into the prompt and if it says that its not installed, just type
and say yes to all the prompts.

now type:
this will download all the deb files to that folder.

now type
if this doesn't work and it complains about unmet dependencies, type:

now try again:
if this works, you can do the same with the rest:
now go back to your NIT, and install canola2 from the application manager and cross your fingers. Don't install any plugins at this point until you're sure it works. Just saves time installing and uninstalling

Should work fine hopefully...

If i missed a step, or theres mistakes in my terminal commands let me know.



EDIT:

and I guess if you want to keep your NIT clean then don't forget to remove the deb files once its all done and working:

or if there the only files in that folder (BE VERY SURE THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY FILES, type "ls" to be sure)
or if they are the only deb files:

if you created a temp folder and are currently inside that folder:
or replace temp with whatever folder you used. If you used the /tmp folder, please do yourself a favour and don't remove it

once again if there's any problems let me know, I'm currently late for work so i'll check this afternoon

Um, if he removes the extras-devel, wouldn't it be enough to just refresh the list and install canola back?

I tried... for some weird reason it didn't work for me if that works for you guys then thats great

I was pulling my hair out last night because it wouldn't work like that for me so i finally decided to go through the above steps. Shouldn't take more then 3 minutes or so if you know what you're doing. The long part is waiting for canola to uninstall and reinstall.


The reason the above steps are so long is because i tried to explain every possible option. Quite simply its just:

remove canola2 and the source entry
ssh to your nit
wget the packages
install packages
reinstall canola2

Guess you should type "apt-get install wget" instead of the simple "apt-get wget"
