Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

Hi mido.fayad, thank you for your work.

In the first post, I think it would be useful if you indicate that packages i2c-tools, liblzo2-2 and mtd-utils can be installed via apt-get as they are in the repos.

It would be even better if you simply upload your backupmenu and multiboot packages to the repos depending on them.

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

{ Update } New backupmenu-multiboot 1.2 = ( backupmenu 0.65-1 ) but this is for multiboot

u can download the new package from here :

http://www.mediafire.com/?dq2obz9f9b3fjyp

it depends on

1 - multiboot 0.2.11 not any previous multiboot

so if u don't have it u can download it from here untill i upload it to repositories ..........

http://www.mediafire.com/?91b2wfr0qh0oj0v


2 - i2c-tools , mtd utils .....

u can find them in extras devel by open terminal and write :

root

apt-get install i2c-tools mtd-utils


or if u want to download them direct on ur phone sothat u don't need to internet at all after reflash , u can find them here :

1 - i2c-tools
http://www.mediafire.com/?wmu1m3lba6vw8he

2 - liblzo2-2
http://www.mediafire.com/?68qh7seupusxsam

3 - mtd-utils
http://www.mediafire.com/?l93br2kyc6vhu23

copy these 3 packages to /home/user/MyDocs

u should have rootsh package installed or download it from here and install it as any program

http://www.mediafire.com/?fddlac5qrvl6kwf

then open terminal and write the following :

root

cd /home/user/MyDocs

dpkg -i i2c-tools.deb liblzo2-2.deb mtd-utils.deb





after downloading all files , now u can install backupmenu-multiboot 1.2

then restart ur phone and u can find it in choices :)


i updated the first post in the thread with the new package :)

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

Great, thank you. Is this version compatible with Kernel power 47?

I uninstalled Backupmenu, bootmenu and bootmenu-n900, then I installed the three little debs mentioned in the first post, then your deb of multiboot, then backupmenu-multiboot.

Multiboot menu showed up correctly at the next reboot and I had the choice to launch Backupmenu, which worked flawlessly. Maemo was not listed however. I tried to type "0" but it returned a Guru error message.

By the way, can we install Nitdroid from extra-devel after having installed backupmenu-multiboot? Will it append automatically to the multiboot list?

What I would like to have is:
1. Maemo (stock kernel)
2. Maemo (kernel power 47)
3. NitDroid
4. Backupmenu

I don't know if my problem is due to my version of kernel power 47. Maybe there is a version designed to work with multiboot? I just installed the "normal" version I found in extra-devel to be honest.

P.S.
I second the posts asking you to bring your work into extra-devel or even extra-testing. What you've done is great and it would facilitate the installations!

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

im getting these errors when selecting multiboot at startup... previous version worked perfect. using cssu v13 and power kernel 47 and nitdroid 12

UDev started
1
2
error with: cp lib/libac1.so.1 / tmp/disk/lib code: 1 cp: cannot stat no such file or directory

error with: cp lib/libattr.so.1.1.0 / tmp/disk/lib code: 1 cp: cannot stat no such file or directory

3
4

then it loads backup menu as normal. .


I have checked /lib directory and not there, any idea how i can get them or why there missing ? i followed all steps and was upgrading from multiboot 1.1 so does it matter about these missing lib errors ?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

Read the thread, the same thing is asked and answered more than once already in the last 2 pages.

Anyway, harmless message, and if you want those, install the packages libacl1 and libattr1.

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

sorry stlpaul , should have been more thorough before posting ,having used a previous version with no errors i thought this error was a new one with this new version and never thought to look back to posts before its release , i will check next time i get a problem with anything though ! thankyou for how to fix the problem though its much appreciated .

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

Um, mido.fayad, might want to go extract extrafiles.tar.gz, edit filelist.txt and remove these two lines:
cp /lib/libattr.so.1.1.0 /tmp/disk/lib/
cp /lib/libacl.so.1 /tmp/disk/lib/

Then save filelist.txt, and recompress it back into extrafiles.tar.gz That will remove those two error messages.

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

I solved my problem by installing the bootimg of Kernel Power, sorry for my dummy question before. :)

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 

Need some help here.

I followed the instructions to install multiboot and backupmenu. After rebooting, there is only one choice in multiboot, which is backupmenu. And if i press 0 or b, it shows "can't flash kernel, required files not found Guru Meditation".

So is there still a way to boot into maemo without reflashing? I previously had power-kernel 46 installed. I guess that's the cause for the error.

thanks.

Have you tried restoring a working backup?
