This stopped the install, and an "apt-get -f install" instructed me to run "dpkg --configure -a", at which point it then resumed.

Sounds about like it went for me, and my install works fine.

/me shrugs

I wonder why I didn't get that behavior the first four times I tried.

Ahh, well, if it works for you, I'll stick with it. I love that modest is now the default email client. (Yes, it has its problems, but it works great with gmail's IMAP interface.)

Hang on gnuite!

Even if I had those answers I could not share them, sorry. My teaser was mainly to hint that work continues... so don't make too many hard-and-fast assumptions.

Aisu, earlier you mentioned having problems with the diablo initfs and/or kernel with your N810. I just tried to flash-and-reboot, and the kernel is definitely causing my N810 to stop booting. Have you managed to reflash with the diablo initfs or kernel?

Or do they only work with the N800?

If you're going to teaser, you have to be ready to accept the wild misinterpretations that your teasers may yield.

Yeah, but I have elected to accept them only begrudgingly.

I was talking to Maba on IRC. His N810 will not boot with the N810 kernel but my ripped Diablo initfs and chinook kernel work together :/

Oh yeah, I've got a static binary of 0xFFFF if anyone wants to dump their clean Diablo rootfs to make a flashable file with flasher-3.0 :/ (not to share it)

So I'll stick with what I have now unless/until I run into issues.

If there are no complains when running apt-get -f install, then you have no problems.

No initfs problem. Had some kernel trouble, though.

I just grabbed the kernel from here. Works perfectly with Diablo, and I get a nice new feature

Just test it first, like it says there, before you actually install.

That's because there is one application that is in testing, which is basically showing a world map which you should point your rough location at the very first time.

Some updates... It seem that the app uses active internet connection (WiFi usually) to keep AGPS data up to date. If that is not currently available, there is an option to use cell phone packet data connection as a backup.

I did test the fix time today after almost a week of not using GPS: At the very beginning GPS status showed ~10 visible satellites right away. After about a minute of waiting I got a fix. This is indeed promising...

But need to test more to come into more firm conclusions.
