This is probably my problem. After posting my note last night, I ran apt-get from the command line (to install wget) and discovered a number of unprocessed configuration scripts, including avahi-daemon. To get avahi running I had to create both a user and a group. At this point I'm probably going to have to reflash the unit over the weekend and start over, as I have managed to foul up Application Manager, which opens a window but won't run. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Canola several times from the command line and undoubtedly have created a mess. I got as far as Canola finding the files but refusing to play any of them, but eventually fell back to the no-files problem. I've only had this thing for a week. Consider it a dry run. :-) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
