FIY I flashed the beta hf5 with no trouble at all, wifi works. I even transferred the system on a sdcard and get booting from that.

If someone has some time, I may have noticed a bug in the initial setup. After flashing when asked for a password and then asks to reenter password, I did not enter the same password each time, but it did not stop me and just moved on with the rest of the setup. Isn't it suppose to compare the two and stop you if they don't match?
Yes, we're currently investigating that. It also happened on HF4, so it's an old bug that wasn't on the bugtracker before.

In use ? Or just remaining file cache (that will be flushed only when needed) ?

Installed this new firmware last sunday on my brand new Pandora.
Today I encountered a problem with my left nub, which didn't seem to register the right direction anymore. Up, left and down were good, but pulling the stick to the right didn't work anymore. Although one time it did go really, really slow in the right direction. After rebooting the Pandora, it worked again. I have a unit with new nubs by the way. The problem occurred both in XFCE and in several programs.
My best guess is that something didn't load properly during the boot sequence. Probably something that has to do with the drivers of the nubs.

I'm still on HF4 (daren't test HF5 yet) and when I first got my pandora, I never needed to touch nubs settings at all for days. Now, though, they become very erratic after a couple of hours and I need to use the settings menu to reset them. The amount of time needed between resets is definitely decreasing, and it's happening to both nubs.
I don't think the problem is hotfix-related.

+1, probably a RAM issue.
Hmm... but there's nothing that eats more RAM in there compared to HF4.
Is it the same in HF4?
Most of the changes are scripts and MiniMenu... but there has been no task or anything added to startup

Half the time I poke at the menu 3-4 times before it opens up now, but other than that no weird issues
Might be the activated icons... if that slows it down, I should deactivate them again.
Make it an option in taskbar settings please! I really like the icons, as it added the feeling of "this is more of a proper operating system" compared to "this is a work in progress feeling operating system" I don't think its just the eye candy that gives me that feeling. Moreso, the polished feel I've been looking for in the XCFE menu for quite some time now, as I hate a cluttered desktop.

IIRC you could always do this,
I deleted the menu by mistake before and when I added a new one there is a tick box to show icons.

Installed HF5B2; everything seems OK, except for Midori, which is exhibiting odd behavior.
It can't run from the taskbar - it reports that another instance is already running; it also offers the error "MIdori seems to have crashed on the last time it was opened..." and offers the options of Modify Preferences, Reset the Last Session, and a ghosted Disable all extensions.
If I do get it running, it crashes unexpectedly to the desktop, no error messages, just blips out.

One thing to note when flashing... if your rootfs.img is corrupt, the installer will detect it and stop the update. However, at this point it will already have installed the newer kernel, which means that after you reboot you'll have a version mismatch between the running kernel and the installed modules. This is not obvious, but will result in (for example) wifi not working (if you run the op_wifi script from the terminal, you'll see what the problem is).
This is really a problem with the installer and not HF5 specifically, though.

Closed, as Beta 3 is available here
