Reboot in power menu
 
I tried following this guide: http://nokia-n900.com/how-to-adding-...powerkey-menu/ with no success. I figured I need to replace typographical quatation marks with " and I am able to reboot from command line with /usr/bin/sudo reboot (without sudo gainroot) and I have reboot item in the power menu, but it does nothing when pressed. Any ideas? Is that guide wrong?

UPDATE: I found a way to to this. It was rather easy in the end.

I followed this simpler guide which works as suspected: http://wiki.maemo.org/Customizing_Ma...power_key_menu

Yep, but that is a rather crude method, if I understand it correctly. Might as well try it anyway.

reboot

I have seen that. I did not read the entire thread, but it is the method suggested by conred if I am not mistaken.

are you really want to play with systemui.xml ? be careful it may lead to a reflash sometims...
i made a deb long time ago to copy a systemui.xml which contains the reboot and to backup the original one but i lost it :D, will post it here if i found it

./sifo

I know this may not be the right place to answer for, anyway where do I find configuration file for System Menu to change item's order?

Re: Reboot in power menu
 
/etc/systemui/systemui.xml - change the priority, I think

Hi there.
although I get root I cant go to /etc/systemui/.
I get a "Permission denied" error. :confused:

sifo 2012-08-27 09:03
Re: Reboot in power menu
 
try this...
Code:
root
leafpad /etc/systemui/systemui.xml
you need leafpad installed and a brain to know what you are doing :p

./sifo

Re: Reboot in power menu
 
So I found a way to do this thanks to this thread.

One needs to just put the following into /etc/system/systemui.xml :
Code:
  <menuitem priority="750" name="Reboot">
    <icon>general_refresh</icon>
      <callback service="com.nokia.xterm"
        path="/com/nokia/xterm"
        interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command"
        bus="session" autostart="true">
      <argument type="string">/usr/bin/reboot_manual</argument>
    </callback>
  </menuitem>
And create (executable!) file /usr/bin/reboot_manual with the following content:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# gain superuser rights.
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
    exec sudo gainroot <<EOF
exec sh $0 $*
EOF
exit $?
fi 
# put your code below
reboot
Reboot and the button should work and reboot nicely.

Please note anybody new to this, playing about with systemui.xml can make your device unbootable if you mess it up.

Re: Reboot in power menu
 
Yep, just cleaned up my systemui.xml.
And you may check with
Code:
killall systemui
and waiting a few seconds, if everything is OK.

Nevertheless sixwheeledbeast's warning is valid (as in my case I am very cautious while editing and there was no mistake). If systemui should not pop up or display error or whatever, you should have possibility to re-/edit again (do NOT reboot) ...

Re: Reboot in power menu
