I tried to follow the instructions but could never find the Canola folder after uninstalling Canola.

I was able to find the canola-config file and deleted that.

After deleting Canola, I disabled all but the three repositories mentioned.

I then installed avahi-daemon by itself.

Installed Canola.

Rebooted the machine.

Opened Canola configuration in MicroB browser.

When I navigate to mmc1 and mmc2 the "connecting" blue bouncing line appears in MicroB and never goes away.

When I was able to add mmc1 and mmc2 but then got an endless Java script error....had to close MicroB to get out of the loop.

Back in Canola I still get "no media found."

Opened GConf-Editor and deleted the collection-folder links to mmc1 and mmc2.

Reopened Canola config and was able to add back mmc1 and mmc2 but still get the never ending connecting....but no java script errors this time.

Back in Canola no media files found.

I'm not sure what might be wrong but I have this advice for the developers of Canola.

1. Dump the html configuration. It would be much better to set the config in a Canola preferences or setup menu from within Canola.

2. Fix the buggy install process. Many people are having problems with not being able to add media folders and not being able to see the media in the folders.

3. Fix the uninstall so that it removes not only the original install files but the directories and config files it creates during the install.
