Canola 1.0 beta2 is finally out!

So after some delays we are finally, and officially releasing the Canola beta2, it’s website and we really expect people to enjoy it.
A hell of a work, lots of bug crushing, UI enhancements. We tried to keep Garages bugs at a minimum number always and I think we did.
So point your Maemo device to our site and download canola! Now without those nasty installation problems of the first beta.
ps : Canola is also on the maemo application catalogue

Nice work!
February 19th, 2007 at 8:47 amI can’t get Canola to install…….when i’m in the repository it starts to download and then stops and says that the install file is mising………and i love canola so much!
February 19th, 2007 at 11:51 amCongratulations Marcelo, excelent work as always.
February 19th, 2007 at 1:44 pm@Jacob: had the same error, remove the openbossa.indt.org from the catalog list, then click the “install me” link on the canola web page.
To the developers: thanks a lot for the great work! beta2 seems to solve the minor issues i recognized with the first version :)
February 19th, 2007 at 2:04 pmThanks Juepi! I will place this on help =)
February 19th, 2007 at 2:25 pmI am desperate to try Canola on my N800 but cannot get it to install. I always get a libgcrypt11 and libgpg-error0 dependency problem when I click the install me link from the Canola web page…can anyone offer any help?
February 19th, 2007 at 2:40 pmJesus! I love you man! Doesn’t matter what the people said or what you think, but for me you are THE MAN!
Congratulations for you and your friends, it’s a good and awesone work has been done! I know how you and your friends spend a lot of sleep times working hard on this project.
I really want to desire for you and your friends, all success that you deserve!
February 19th, 2007 at 2:50 pmokay…..got it installed but now when i go to the canola config page, it won’t let me set a password…….i put it in and confirm it and then get an error message that says “you didn’t set a password yet, please do it now.” but i did put one in?
i’m confused
February 19th, 2007 at 3:13 pmHolly Jesus, thank you so much!
Canola is my app of choice on my n770 (& n800)!
Thanks, thanks and thanks again.

still not working :_(
February 19th, 2007 at 6:41 pmJust wonderful! n800. Sitting in Santa Monica, California amazed at the color, random play, great volume control, super play of pictures…OUTSTANDING WORK. Nokia should just pay you guys a lot of money and release this as an update to their internet tablets.
February 19th, 2007 at 10:13 pmBy the way…zero problems installing. I skipped the config page and just played music and checked out my pix.
February 19th, 2007 at 10:15 pmOne half hour later.
The IRadio function finds no stations. I have about 25.
I play my IRadio stations ALL THE TIME. I played one of the stations about one hour ago….perfect playing.
But NOW my NOKIA Internet Radio player DOES NOT PLAY my stations. Canola install somehow disabled my Internet Radio. I HOPE this is just a temporary thing, since I use my internet radio all the time.
I note also, there is no support for the new FM radio. But I understand…the FM radio is a recent development.
Also…Canola finds the names of my videos, but does not play them. When I hit PLAY, it returns to the list of videos without playing the video.
I have n800 with the following software loaded, but unused: Maemo Recorder and Media Streamer.
February 19th, 2007 at 10:50 pmMy Nokia Video Player now says “Unable to perform that operation” when I ask it to play my videos.
I turned the 800 off and on…same problem. No play videos or my IRadio.
I removed the battery. The Nokia IRadio now works. GOOD!!
The Nokia video player now plays videos.
I try Canola IRadio again:
Canola IRadio reports “No Items Found”
I try NOKIA IRadio again…it still works.
I try Canola Video player. IT WORKS. Beautiful fullscreen play with excellent audio.
SO…all I need now is the Canola IRadio.
I try it again..”No items found”. Nokia IRadio
plays the items on my list.
I hope this feedback helps.
THANKS For your GOOD WORK.
February 19th, 2007 at 11:17 pmOkay guys, can anyone help me get Canola installed? Before you ask: yes, I tried the install button on the official Canola website - I get the same error every time:
libgcrypt11
libgpg-error0
are missing.
I have read the install instructions on the Canola site and my N800 already has the 2 repositories mentioned added:
Nokia Catalogue
Nokia Catalogue (3rd party software)
I have 2 other repositories in application manager - added I suspect because I installed xterm and the to do list app, these are:
GPE Calendar
maemo-hackers
I really do not know what else to try.
Any suggestions?
February 20th, 2007 at 1:51 pmHas anyone ever noticed that the Canola webpage only displays “It Works well” when viewed with Firefox 2.0, or am i the only one with that problem? :)
February 21st, 2007 at 12:59 pmJuepi, I had the same problem with Firefox until I used CTRL+F5 to reload the page from the server rather than from the browser cache…try that…
February 21st, 2007 at 3:16 pmHi russell,
Have you tried disabling the 2 other REPOS? it is really a repo conflict about the libcrypto and the other.
Please let me know if deactivating them works for you!
February 21st, 2007 at 3:39 pmMarcelo, disabling the other repos did the trick. You are a star!
Thanks so much for your help…it seems so obvious now ;-)
February 21st, 2007 at 4:08 pmHi Folks!
Here are a few pics from my N770 built into my Smart Roadster: http://pj.travelpics.at/n770
I’ve driven a few K’s today with Canola onboard, works perfect! :)
yours,
