I do not understand.

This is old (deprecated) thread. Link to new one is in first post.

But couldn't find any specific instruction. It'd be very nice to have a full featured shell in backupmenu. That's why I was trying to update it.
Please see here.

I wanted to update the backupmenu-multiboot to latest 1.2 version from current .65
so I thought the procedure is to extract the files from the new deb file and paste it in the older deb file.
I decompressed the new 1.2 deb file, found /usr/share/backupmenu folder, took it and paste it in rootfs
the exact command I used is,
mv /usr/share/backupmenu /usr/share/backupmenu_old
mv /home/user/MyDocs/app/backupmenu_1.2.0-2_all/usr/share/backupmenu /usr/share/backupmenu

now I can't access backupmenu.

thank you, but I don't think that is related to my issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can you please tell me the correct procedure?
Also, should I switch to uboot instead? What is your opinion? I'm new to maemo, I'm learning things.
I need a shell access incase it doesn't boot. (And that happens a lot for me)
rescueOS is good but that needs a pc around. That's the problem.

backupmenu-multiboot and backupmenu are two different pair of shoes.
So this will not work. But midofayad (or some other kind soul) prepared an update. Google or power search will help: backupmenu-multiboot-1.2_0.65-1.deb

BUT you should switch to kp52, u-boot and bootmenu/backupmenu from repo (devel). Cleanest will be refresh, especially considering newbie.

thanks. This is what I've installed now. But still struggling to get the shell to work.
Thinking of installing this
but then I don't have cssu-testing.
How do I upgrade frome stable to testing? Will installing the testing over stable work?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11 ( update )
 
Yep, you should try that.
Sorry I thought backupmenu had a shell on its own (like backupmenu-multiboot has when pressing 's').. For sure kernel with frame buffer support is needed and a little hack in /sbin/preinit to enable fbcon.

About cssu: please have a look in the appropriate threads. But afaik going from stable to testing is no problem, just change the repositories (install cssu-testing). Going back is not possible.
I propose you directly go to cssu-thumb

I know but unfortunately none of those shell is working for me. The fix you linked me for backupmenu shell here is already in the latsest version. But still I'm getting a blank screen. I've no clue what to do to get it working. I think I should now ask in the bakupmenu thread.
I've kp52 installed with u-boot. I think kp52 already has kernel-feature-framebuffer support. Still it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do?

I looked but couldn't find anything regarding this probably because it is straight-forward.
I'll read more about cssu-thumb and will try ro jump to thumb instead of testing.

Thank you for your help. :)

Of course you can use it without pc. Here you go: rescueOS-uboot

A short how-to (you were successful) for others might be helpful ... (even it is OT)

oh, you gave me the hint. It was not working because I had to enable fbcon manually.
To do that, edit /sbin/preinit
add "modprob fbcon" (without qoute) at the end of the function init_system() (i.e. In a new line just before the closing } at around line no 42 in my case)
so it'll look like
Code:
        if [ -n $madc_minor ] ; then
                mknod /tmp/dev/twl4030-adc c 10 $madc_minor
        fi
        modprobe fbcon
}
I've also disabled nokia hands video btw.
