Can software such as Talks be installed or reinstalled on the Nokia N82
using Ubuntu and Orca?
I ask because I have been told that I may need to do a hard reset of my
phone because a few minutes after switching on my phone, apps are either
slow to open or don't open at all in the case of Galery as

i can't seem to tell if deja-dup is running a backup for me.
i chose to write to a cd or dvd but the furthest i get is a
message saying "location already mounted" and close and i don't
know if this is affecting my ability to create my backups and i
can't even hear my cd and dvd drive spinning so
Wifi Does appear to be now working in Lucid.
After downloading the updates for Beta 2 I managed to locate my Wireless
network icon so was able to enter my key for my wireless router.

i am having a problem backing up files using deja-dup which i
have installed on my laptop with lucid beta 2.
i get the error message "backup failed" and "this location is
already mounted."
i tried sending my backup to a re-writable dvd.

i have had a bit more of a look at the software centre in lucid
and it just appears to say "image" so it may still be
inaccessible when choosing software.

i made a slight mistake the error message i get in hardy when i
