| |
- | == Known issues ==
| |
- | * '''If you can't find an application you want in Application Manager, see http://packages.ubuntu.com''' - Mer is based on Ubuntu and has 95% of all Ubuntu applications and you can install them with sudo apt-get install packagename, in X-Terminal
| |
- | * home applets behave oddly when in non-800x480
| |
- | * Screen should not dim and turn off during first boot wizard
| |
- | * Magic X menu stretches too far, before adding v ^ buttons.
| |
- | * Happens occasionally: [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4250 Initial configuration - Root Password Confirmation Prompt - No virtual keyboard]
| |
- | * X driver for N8x0 does not use Manual updates yet and hence can be a bit slow in updating the screen which may give the impression the system is slow.
| |
- | * Rotation in advanced-backlight kills hildon desktop
| |
- | * No charging screen on flashable image
| |
- | * modifying panel settings causes HD to sometimes crash
| |
- | * 770 rescue menu does not seem to work (keys doesn't work)
| |
- | * 770 doesn't pick up correct RTC, or it doesn't have it set
| |
- | * Control panel may appear to have no menu but it actually doesn't have one.
| |
- | * [https://bugs.launchpad.net/m-r/+bug/355026 Can not enter an address in hildon-application-manager]
| |
- | * X-Terminal is not localized yet, at all (shows webameedit, etc)
| |
- | * The task switcher does not appear rightmost as it should
| |
- | * There seems to be a bit of "air" around windows, near left and right corners, also in marquee.
| |
- | * Marquee background acts weird.
| |
- | * JFFS2 version of N8x0 port causes weird video problem when rebooting.
| |
- | * Powerlaunch not working correctly while charger plugged in, no reaction while pressing power-button, no keyboard backlight
| |
- | * Advanced-backlight crashes hildon-desktop while charger plugged (might be tablet-battery-monitor related)
| |
- | * Marquee-panel doesn't scale when rotating the screen.
| |
- | * Deselecting dropdown menu plugin crashes desktop
| |
- | * Powerlaunch button prompts not correct (no "Yes" "No")
| |
- | * Applications "Organise" dialog unresponsive
| |
- | * SmartQ5/7 WiFi does not work out of the box
| |
- | * Hardware keyboard/slider events on N810 when device is in standby only turns on backlight, and doesn't unblank the screen. Touchscreen events work fine in this respect.
| |
- | * Text in text fields can not be drag-selected (cursor jumps to start of field instead)
| |
- | * Applications installed prompt for folder location but are always stored in Extras
| |
- | * Terminal toolbar Ctrl button non-functional (try Ctrl + d, Ctrl + h, Ctrl + g, Ctrl + c)
| |
- | * Terminal toolbar (likely other) has significanly misaligned background image when selected.
| |
- | * When changing theme desktop might crash (seen on SmartQ5 and N8x0)
| |
- | * Sources are not accessible using apt-get source (for Mer packages), but they are downloadable if you sign up for build.opensuse.org (or just ask us if you don't want to.) - a problem with OBS not exporting them at the moment
| |
- | * python-hildon is broken
| |
- | * The weather applet is broken, just disable it
| |
- | * docpurge is a bit slow and may slow application installs
| |

- | * '''There is ''no'' warranty'''. This may blow up your MMC, steal your wife or cause doomsday to come around. But if you find some bugs, please report them on [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mer bugs.maemo.org Bugzilla] and we'll try to see what we can do to fix the bug causing it.
| |
- | * If anything goes wrong, grab a USB cable, and rescue mode is done through holding down Home key when booting Mer (on Nokia Internet Tablets)
