Here it is! Finally the public repository for Canola
Sorry for the small delay. We really tried our best, but of course there’s a lot to enhance after today. We really need your feedback to know what needs to be improved (besides a lot of things we already know :) )
If you were a beta tester click here
How to Install Canola on your Nokia 770
if you don’t have the latest firmware, please change scirocco for mistral
After installing : Restart the 770.don’t forget this step please :)
On the Nokia 770, go to Application Manager.
On Application Manager main menu, select Application Catalogue on Tools.
Press “New” Button.
And then, fill the “Web address” text box with
http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/repository
“Distribution” with
scirocco
and “Components” with
user
Press “OK” Button.
Press “New” Button.
And then, fill the “Web address” text box with:
http://repository.maemo.org
“Distribution” text box with:
scirocco
and “Components” text box with
free non-free
Press “OK” Button.
Press “Close” Button.
If a pop-up window appears asking: “Refresh package list?”, press “OK” Button. Or, select Refresh package list on Tools, on Application Manager main menu.
*If it fails, you must have a typo, please check the address.
It will be shown a list of installable packages. Select Canola.
Press “OK” Button.
Press “OK” Button again in warning pop-up window.
Accept license agreement
Choose folder
Press “OK” Button again after correctly installed.
After installing : Restart the 770 -> this is mandatory, unfortunately. If don’t do this it will crash, cause the reboot starts some important services.
If 770 is not updated with scirocco version, user must change “scirocco” by “mistral”.
Now, Canola is ready to be used.
More info, while the site is not ready!
Known Issues
We expect to get lots of feedbacks. Good ones, bad ones and the most important: the constructive ones. These feedbacks will enable us
to improve Canola in a way we believe to be very important: The way that you, Canola users, want.
So, before sending us some bugs, take a peek into this list to see whether it’s already here. If so, it’s very likely that we are already fixing it,
bug reporting to other project, or even trying to modify Canola to behave better about it until a solution turns up.
Memory
The device, as any personal computer device, can run out of memory. This will cause strange effects, and some of those can be produced
when using Canola. Trying to load big pictures (e.g. 1600×1200) to show on the 800×480 screen gives the 770 a big workload, and consumes
a lot of memory.
Solution: Resize your pictures to the optimal sizes of 640×480 or 800×480 before sending it to the device. This will not only speed up the image browsing (as no resize is required) but will also let you do other things like playing music while re-scanning the library in the background without any problems.
Other scenarios where it happens:
When trying to stream not optimized videos via UPnP. Solution: use the Maemo movie converter.
If you remove the memory card while using it as swap memory, you will face some heavy system instability. This is a logical problem and will happen even outside of Canola, so avoid this at all costs. If you really need to use the card, turn the swap off or turn the device off and use a memory card reader.
If the device starts rebooting sequentially, just remove the battery.
Canola screen is black when minimized
When you hit the “home” button on your maemo device, you can hit it again to return to Canola. In this first release, Canola doesn’t come back in
the first keypress and the screen remains black on the application view (see image). This is due to some issues in the SDL library that don’t deal
very well with the system signals.
Solution: Pretty simple: just hit the home button twice, or select Canola twice from the taskbar (see image).
Random Freezes while browsing shared media
Sometimes when browsing shared media you can run out of memory, and the platform will kill some important components and go into a reboot.
Using Canola
Canola is quite simple, but does have some more advanced use cases.
But remember to activate one Applet in the desktop of your 770 to be able to acess canola faster.
Also, to configure your feeds, try out the great theme Wood_box, use the canola configuration in the menu, or point your browser to:
http://canoladeviceip:9000/
Beta testers
Unfortunately, we had to change a lot of things, so you must flash your device! sorry for that but for now there’s no easy option!
LibSoap problem
Try verifying your repositories please! We had this problem during beta tester and it was fixed, but you should really see if there’s nothing in the repository.
If it persist, please send me your repository list. We tried with new, old, flashed, mistral, scirocco everyt single device. So please send your repository for us. We can fix it right now!
I want to be the first!
November 29th, 2006 at 8:18 pmIt’s failing:
November 29th, 2006 at 8:20 pmUnable to install canola
Packages missing
libsoup2.28
etc.
My bad. Mistral.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:22 pmI’m the first!!! Sorry Dude… :-)
November 29th, 2006 at 8:24 pmOops, when updating canola I get that libsoup2.2-8 is missing.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:26 pmSecond rulez!! lets try canola!
November 29th, 2006 at 8:26 pmOS 2006 v2 (Mistral) and also getting “Packages missing” error preventing installation:
libsoup2.2-8 = 2.2.92-0ubuntu1osso4indt1
November 29th, 2006 at 8:32 pmlibsoup2.2-8 = 2.2.92-0ubuntu1osso4indt1
libsoup2.2-8 = 2.2.92-0ubuntu1osso4indt1
osso
Nope! Still problematic. Screenshot here:

xD i didn’t go to sleep, now problems with libsoap, fixing….
November 29th, 2006 at 8:32 pmlibsoup2.2-8 is missing!
November 29th, 2006 at 8:33 pmI get the libsoup error too… It wants a specific version, that does not match the version that is available in repository.maemo.org.
Im running mistral, if that matters.
If I could work out how to get apt-get to use a http proxy, then I could force-install it with the version of libsoup that is availble… Anyone know how to make apt-get use my proxy?
November 29th, 2006 at 8:34 pmBugs and feature requests should go to:
November 29th, 2006 at 8:35 pmhttps://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=125
Have libsoup2.2-8 dependency error here too.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:35 pmhey guys, very strange, you should have something installed that conflicts, but please send me your repositories, and better, please tell me what’s installed. We are sad that everyone is getting this error : / but we are here and we will not leave until it’s fixed.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:37 pmI think that the problem was updating the package list with scirocco (i have mistral) and then getting back to mistral.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:39 pmI didn’t find a solution yet.
Installed:
gizmo-project
load-applet
nast
osso-xterm
theme-blue
ttf-bitstream-vera

November 29th, 2006 at 8:41 pmWe are trying to recreate the bug, but we need the reps!

You should have a repository that is conflicting with the provided libsoup version.
Canola-conf depends on a specific version of libsoup that is patched by us.

November 29th, 2006 at 8:45 pmWe found it… the maemo-hackers has the libsoap.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:45 pmWe are fixing it… wait just a little bit.

November 29th, 2006 at 8:46 pmTak,
November 29th, 2006 at 8:47 pmThanks very much =)
Anyway we are going to solve the problem with the our libsoap. =)
Talk about fast software response! w00t.
November 29th, 2006 at 8:48 pmI am bouncing in my chair right now.
Yep…..its broken for me too. Same dependency error as everyone.

Problem is that it’s server is broken, but Dan doesn’t want to fix it… :-/
November 29th, 2006 at 8:57 pmCrash on startup:

I can mirror it on genesis.thoughtfix.com, Gustavo. Send me a message to my gmail and I can have canola.maemo.org and a matching FTP account in a matter of 10 minutes. Trust, I have more bandwidth available than a Maemo app needs.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:01 pmer… canola.thoughtfix.com
November 29th, 2006 at 9:02 pm“…but Dan doesn’t want to fix it… :-/”
A little harsh, as the library owner does sound as though he intends to fix it, but is unable to fix it without breaking something else and so the fix you need will have to wait, unfortunately. :( Not ideal I admit, which has left you with no option but to patch an alternative version.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:03 pmTak: please reboot your device
Andrunko
November 29th, 2006 at 9:03 pmAh. Rebooting seems to fix it.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:05 pmGuys, don’t forget about the REBOOT. It sounds to windowze, but you need to do that to be able to start some important services for using Canola.
It’s annoying I know, but we would never tell people to install some packages and then type on the command line etc with root credentials.
So please REBOOT
November 29th, 2006 at 9:05 pmMarcelo, any ugly solution for not flashing? It’s a pain in the ass to do that :(
November 29th, 2006 at 9:08 pmUsage tip #1: Fast way to go to home screen
While viewing folder contents or playing something, click the big icon on the left, it will go to the home screen.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:09 pm@Alfredo:
How experienced are you? Problem is that we changed our database and GConf schemas. If you uninstall canola and remove them, you may be safe. It’s quite cumbersome and requires root access. You may mail me in private at barbieri-server-is-gmail.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:12 pmIs it expected to take a long time (10min+) for “Configuring Local Database” ?
I do have almost 2G of media.

November 29th, 2006 at 9:19 pm@Tak:
Canola doesn’t exit error/warning screens automatically, you need to press “Back” and it will go to home, then you may try again.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:20 pmMaybe it’s just me but I still see canola 1.0.0-1indt17 listed in the app manager and continue to have libsoup errors… have refreshed the list of packages, what version should be listed with the fixed libsoup dependency?
November 29th, 2006 at 9:23 pmI cannot access port 80 on openbossa.indt.org.
Pinging openbossa.indt.org [200.184.118.133] with 32 bytes of data:

I’m waiting for the fixed version also. Gustavo, I removed al gconf canola files and everything related canola. I hope this helps for not flashing.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:28 pmGot everything working perfectly now.
Looks good; great work, guys!
November 29th, 2006 at 9:28 pmAlfredo, Renato preparing what you need to do not flash ok? Wait just a little bit more.
Let’s go to the garage ok?

Pleople.. post there. We can not all answer you
November 29th, 2006 at 9:32 pmcheetah, i got the same thing here.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:33 pmopenbossa.indt.org [200.184.118.133], connection timed out!
what’s going on with the server?
can someone post files to the garage? Some people cannot seem to access the openbossa.indt.org server.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:36 pmFor those of you experiencing libsoup issues, please try to update the canola package and see if the error persists.
If you already installed canola, you may have to uninstall it and install again (update will not work)
BR
November 29th, 2006 at 9:39 pmAndrunko
are you guys using some kind of firewalling or iptables scripts. I cannot ping openbossa.indt.org or connect on port 80, but I was able to yesterday. I VPN’d into work and I can access it without any issues from work. Very strange.
November 29th, 2006 at 9:41 pmUpdate solved my problems – THANKS
November 29th, 2006 at 9:41 pmCan’t login to Garage, won’t accept verification on new accounts… :(

November 29th, 2006 at 9:53 pmWhen downloading it crash! (it says: …package not found) :(
November 29th, 2006 at 9:55 pmI have the same problem as Cheetah. I have been trying for the past half hour. Cant access the openbossa repository. Cant even ping the machine. ?
Can you pls host the files someplace else.
DaScud
November 29th, 2006 at 9:57 pmDascud : try the another machine.
Can you please try it? and tell me if it’s working?
We are facing some load on the first server.
the other one is :

November 29th, 2006 at 10:09 pmworks! downloading now…
Tried it. Funnily enough i ssh’ed into another machine and i can get to repository using lynx :-). Can i untar the packages.gz file and install it ?
Tks,
November 29th, 2006 at 10:09 pmDaScud
dascud. i cannot access that site either. I did same thing. I can get links from server at work and see everything but I can get to either site from home (im on comcast.) I’m gonna try wget the repository and dump it on another webserver and do it that way. there are a bunch of dependencies so be a pain to do it manually.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:21 pmandruko-
neither site works from my home. I cant get into both from another machine at work. I was able to access the website yesterday from home.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:22 pmhttp://www.openbossa.indt.org.br/canola/repository/ just started working about 30 seconds ago for me.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:27 pmDaScud! Try again and see if it works!
November 29th, 2006 at 10:28 pmmerci beaucoup.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:29 pmfollowed your instructions, REBOOTED then, all fine, will use/test asap now.
thank you again for this great peace of software.
Raphael
the new server works for me. Thanks a lot.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:34 pmAfter the download finish, appears “can not install, package not found”, please help me!!!, i’ve tried everything :(
November 29th, 2006 at 10:37 pmApologies for posting here but Garage is broken and won’t verify new accounts so I can’t post there…
How do you configure Canola to use TVersity? I have TVersity listening on port 41952 on a server and can connect to TVersity from another PC, but how do I configure Canola so it can find TVersity shared audio/video/pictures?
Bugs:
#1 Clicking on the Feeds link at the bottom of the configuration page results in a 404.
#2 In Firefox I can’t add new directories to the “Your Collection” list
#3 In Firefox I don’t see hidden directories (eg. .documents) listed in the “File System” list, but hidden directories do appear in the list when using IE 7.
Looks great though – fantastic job! :)
November 29th, 2006 at 10:40 pmJorge: We need more information to help you.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:42 pmI tried http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/repository and it works fine also. That was really weird.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:45 pmMarcelo/Andruko et al. I wanted to convey my appreciation
November 29th, 2006 at 10:45 pmto you guys for putting together such a great app. I have
been up since morning refreshing the site every half hour. I felt like a kid on the day before christmas :-). If you have a paypal account pls post a link and i would be happy
to donate a few dollars to keep your work going ahead :-)
TKs,
DaScud
cheetah: DNS problems are weird.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:46 pmForget the TVersity question – it finds it automagically, it’s Plug & Play! :)
November 29th, 2006 at 10:46 pm@Milhouse:
That’s becayse UPnP is Universal Plug and Play ;-)
November 29th, 2006 at 10:47 pmDaScud: Please, we don’t want money we want a Nintendo Wii!!!
November 29th, 2006 at 10:48 pmhehe, a Wii would be fine, lol :-)
November 29th, 2006 at 10:50 pm@DaScud
We want a wii =) but don’t send it to Brazil, because we would pay twice the price in taxes :)
We are happy to work with canola, and we work for INdT so, no donations are necessary.It’s our work and if you guys like it, just send some greetings and a lot of feedback for improving it !
November 29th, 2006 at 10:51 pmYeah, but if you really want to send the Wii.. fell free :) send it as a 49 dollars gift lol!
November 29th, 2006 at 10:53 pmIn the apps manager, when i select to install the canola package 1.0.0-1indt18, it starts downloading, but when the download seems to finish, appears a message like this “can not install, package not found”. i’ve tryed severals times to download, but it’s the same thing each time. any suggestions?
November 29th, 2006 at 10:53 pmJorge, this looks like connection problems. We really don’t know how to help you but asking you to try again, or if you are up to it :
put the maemo.org repository there in the application catalog,
wget on our repository, and then
dpkg -i *
Then reboot =)
November 29th, 2006 at 10:56 pm@Milhouse:
#2 In Firefox I can’t add new directories to the “Your Collection” list
You can, but it may seem slow because it scan new directory before it return.
#3 In Firefox I don’t see hidden directories (eg. .documents) listed in the “File System” list, but hidden directories do appear in the list when using IE 7.
Really? It shouldn’t appear in IE7!!! You shouldn’t be able to add hidden directories from web interface. If you want to add hidden directories, use canola-conf-get_collection.sh and canola-conf-set_collection.sh from shell.
November 29th, 2006 at 10:58 pmJorge:
If you can use a terminal (console application ) as root, try this:
/> apt-get install canola

November 29th, 2006 at 10:59 pmFor the record. It wasn’t a DNS issue. I was always able to resolve the hostnames, just not ping or access them on port 80. The 2 pings below were ten minutes apart but the first ping shows what I experienced since the repository went live which was name resolution, but no network connection. I should have performed a traceroute to figure out where the packets were stopping but I didn’t. :( sorry.

The directory (/home/user/MyDocs/nfs) is empty (as I haven’t yet mounted the remote NFS filesystem), and Canola never adds it even after 2 or more minutes.
> Really? It shouldn’t appear in IE7!!!
Yep, hidden directories appear in the Canola configuration web page when using IE7, but do not appear when using Firefox 2.0. Also, the images on the buttons (Feeds, IRadio etc.) do not appear in IE7.

November 29th, 2006 at 11:08 pmoh and CANOLA ROCKS! GREAT JOB GUYS!
November 29th, 2006 at 11:08 pmHmm A wii hah !!. I am sure with a little help from the generous folks at the internettablet forums that could be arranged :-). Shipping it to you will be another problem. BTW Most of my labmates including my advisor at school were brazilian. I guess if someone was planning a trip sometime soon a wii could be smuggled in to you :-). I’ll see what I can arrange.

@Chenca: Appears a lot of errors, “the following packages hace unmet dependences:

November 29th, 2006 at 11:15 pmJorge: did you add http://repository.maemo.org to the repository list?? the problem is that libsdl-ttf2.0-0 is from there, so you need it, the other deps are all in the openbossa repo.

November 29th, 2006 at 11:18 pmI has it selected, but the “components” was “free” and not “free non-free” :S , im trying downloading again… lets see
November 29th, 2006 at 11:25 pmon the top of the post says “How to Install Canola on your Nokia 770 if you don’t have the latest firmware, please change scirocco for mistral” … i have the mistral distribution so i put the mistral word rather the scirocco, that was the problem, thank you guy for the help :D
November 29th, 2006 at 11:51 pmJorge: Ufa!! Now we can sleep in peace…
November 29th, 2006 at 11:54 pmJorge! nice =)
November 29th, 2006 at 11:59 pmHello,
Canola doesn’t install for me because of a missing clinkc0 package. It seems to be missing from the repository completely.
Here’s what apt says about it:
Err http://openbossa.indt.org mistral/user clinkc0 1.0-28.1
404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/repository/pool/main/c/clinkc0_1.0-28.1_armel.deb 404 Not Found
E: Some files failed to download
Opening the url with a browser doesn’t show any clinkc0 packages either. I hope this gets resolved soon, Canola seems like great program :)
November 30th, 2006 at 12:23 amanyone had this package missing error while installing in mistral?
Failed to fetch http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/repository/pool/main/c/clinkc0_1.0-28.1_armel.deb 404 Not Found
November 30th, 2006 at 1:27 amSunbit :
This error is missing the repository where you fint this clinkc :
Maemo’s repository:
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org
Distribution: scirocco
Components: free non-free
Canola’s repository:
November 30th, 2006 at 1:36 amWeb address: http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/repository/
Distribution: scirocco
Components: user
A bit confusing to install… but:
Now canola-conf takes up 90% cpu and starting canola doesn’t work. starting it from the terminal: “unable to find a Canola Default Theme”…. going to the config at :9000 works, but changing themes and it says: javascript alert! localhost:9000: error while fetching data from server… etc.etc….”
sigh
I will try some trickery I’ve learned on Microsoft Windows… reinstall/reboot/retry….
- reinstalled it now I get a blinking “could not check canola-conf”. starting canola-conf from the terminal and it says “libcanola-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory…
November 30th, 2006 at 3:11 amWhat a great piece of software! :)
My question is if you’re going to support other file formats, e.g. ogg. There is at least one radio stream I like in this format:

Best regards
Reddy
P.S. Is the source code of this app available too?
November 30th, 2006 at 4:16 amI have the same problem as Jorge: “After the download finishes, the message “can not install, package not found” appears”. I have tried both the repositories many times. Pls help.
November 30th, 2006 at 9:15 amRupesh: Make sure you have the http://repository.maemo.org with free and non-free in your application catalogue.
November 30th, 2006 at 10:24 amIs it possbile to run it on a normal Computer?
Would like that :)
November 30th, 2006 at 10:29 amCanola is fantastic. My most wanted feature is ogg vorbis support, because most of my music is ogg.
Best regards
November 30th, 2006 at 11:01 amMarcelo et al.
Canola works great for me but there are a couple of small issues i am hoping will be fixed in future releases. First is the combining of folders for media. I have small album art in my music folders which show up in the Picture library as well. IMO it would be better to be able to select folders individually for the different media types. E.g. specify one top folder for music, one for photos and one for videos.
Second altho not as important is the size of the canola applet. WOuld it be possible to resize the icons.
Thanks.

DaScud,
Request written, and I think some of them are very important and can be done for the next releases. we will study what’s needed.
About the canola applet size,we are going to see what can be done to resize it =)
November 30th, 2006 at 6:36 pmDascud,
please post this on the garage.maemo.org/projects/canola/ website. there’s a feature request there.. then we can keep control of every request!
=)
November 30th, 2006 at 6:38 pmCanola Installed.
Congratulations! Good Job!

December 1st, 2006 at 2:58 pmFirst, after reboot, it refused to play media telling me that the media lib. was being refreshed.
Then, I added the home applet… Now it hangs my device on every reboot :(
In one word: it bricked my device…
I will have to trash all my data to reinstall maemo :-/ which isn’t really good…
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:25 amI also had problems on startup. All would seem normal but no program would start, I got only the message box that canola had refreshed its database and powered the device on and off twice to see if that helped, but it didn’t. This on a fairly fresh OS install with only additional xterminal and mplayer installed.
Then I powered down and shortly removed the battery and turned the 770 on again and all was working again. Maybe all isn’t related, but maybe it helps.
Bye, tira.
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:57 ami installed and rebooted.
when i try to start canola, the screen goes black, and then i see the splash screen for a second. then it goes back to the desktop
i am using the november firmware and ‘Linux Nokia770 + IPv6 + Ext2 + MMC 2GB + MMCPlus52Mhz support’ kernel.
if i start canola from xterm i get
canola[3290]: GLIB WARNING ** default – Unable to find a plugin to handle filter ‘Controller/Container’
when i load the canola conf page i get
‘javascript alert’
‘localhost:9000:

it seems to have started working now. not sure what fixed it. i installed some other bits and pieces, and rebooted a few times.

January 3rd, 2007 at 7:52 pmMy freaking hat is off to you. You did a good deed to my soul. I love this page. I could not figure out how to install it, but after finding this great instruction I was entirely content.
Thanks for all your help,

Just updated my 770 to OS 3.2006.49-2 (gregale) and I’m getting the same errors as ssam mentioned on dec 16th:
if i start canola from xterm i get
canola[3290]: GLIB WARNING ** default – Unable to find a plugin to handle filter ‘Controller/Container’
Rebooting doesn’t help, any other hints? Or should i downgrade to scirocco?
thx,
February 4th, 2007 at 2:49 pmjuepi
Hei Juepi,
Did you rebooted without the power cable on? I know that it sounds pretty dumb to say that, but if the cable is on its not a real reboot. That erros appears to be a reboot issue, :/
February 5th, 2007 at 8:57 amHi,
Thanks for the hint, you’re probably right about that – Canola started working after the 4th “reboot” – which was possibly the first reboot without the power cable plugged in :)
February 14th, 2007 at 2:08 pmThanks for that fine piece of software! You’ve eased my choice of which audio player to install in my roadster ;)
