Thanks a lot, I didn't check under the 'plugin' tab.

Just a little caveat for those of you updating and who have been using Video Center.

Has anyone warrantied their dead cards with the manufacture? If so what was your experience, brand etc.

Most if not all of them have a 1 year warranty, some even lifetime.

Transcend happily sorted (well the disti did) my Class 6 SDHC 8Gb card in about 3 or 4 days which for NZ is damn fine service.

They come with a lifetime warranty BTW.

Wow! That was my first upgrade to my N800, and that _is_ painful. It is like a windows reinstall (must be why I don't use windows).

and that Backup Application, what does it back up? I sure didn't backup my home directory (seemingly only the MyDocs folder), which was a surprise.

I have decided that if I like the application, it is worth having a local copy of the deb. I spent a couple of days trying to find osso-statusbar-cpu, since I was searching for load-monitor, or memory-monitor. Got it now, but wow, that upgrade is painful.

I wrote a one line shell script tars up my home directory and copies it to a directory on my SD card, put it in /home/user/bin, and it's a menu item on osso-statusbar-cpu's "commands" settings. So, whenever I do a Backup, I then do my own copy operation.


I sort of agree about the difficulty in re-doing apps after upgrades or backup/restores ... but I firmly believe in not bypassing a package manager unless I absolutely have to (and am willing to forever manage that software by hand). So, keeping around debs isn't a reasonable task for me. I'd rather hound the developers to fix the shortcomings of the backup and application manger programs.

It's probably a goot idea to flash also initfs (by doing "flasher-3.0 -n initfs.jffs2 -f -R"), as it contains kernel modules (though the old ones also work).

The new rootfs.jffs2 has the same size as the old one, but differs in checksum. Does anyone know of a changelog, or just whether something else than sw-release (which may be edited in /etc/osso_software_version) has changed?

Did you use flasher on all 3 files? Everything working fine?

I posted the list of changed files in another thread. Forgot which, but quite a lot of files changed. From casual inspection they didn't seem to have any real significance.
