(sorry m still in the process of finalizing the best options...will not get that much time to test all the combinations)

Fedora has issues with 0.8 so your results may vary there. Either Ubuntu desktop or netbook should work equally well.

Hi guys, great work so far, I installed OM 0.8 on my Win7 and it is fantastic. This morning I was trying to install it on my laptop that is running Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 and ran into a problem. I launched the installer from the terminal with sudo, begin the installation, then whenever it reaches 100% an error box pops up. I attached a screen of the error. After I click ok to dismiss the error, the installer says it has completed successfully, but I am unable to run OM. Please advise!

Thank you!

I believe my linux newb is showing... But, ok thank you! That got me through the install successfully, I have to say, it was pretty difficult navigating the plugins. After crashing several times for selecting incompatible ones I ultimately just chose the default plugins plus OMDebug. Is there a list of which plugins are compatible with linux somewhere? I tried to find one on the OM site with no luck. But back to my issues, like I said the install completed successfully, I selected the default plugins and OMDebug and they installed successfully. Now when try to launch OM, I click the launcher, nothing happens. I checked the /home/UserName/.config/openMobile/ directory for a debug file, but there isn't one present. I did a reinstall, same story. Ideas?

Try:

mono '/path/to/Open Mobile.exe'

what shows up in the terminal?

I don't get any feedback from the terminal, but these two windows open

Post a debug log

I noticed that OM doesn't remember the previous state of some things. Like if I have shuffle enabled or not. And maybe I missed where it is, but it doesn't remember which plugin was active when shut down.

OK, I just retried the mono command, with sudo and OM opened. I could see the GUI but it was unresponsive to commands. The terminal spit this at me:

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

It appears that no debug log was generated.
