Problem: Replaced /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-base-apps

Hi,

in my efforts to add GPE-calendar to /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-base-apps I accidentally replaced its original content.

As I couldn't add the line

/usr/bin/gpe-calendar &

to the real-af-base-apps (not even with emelFM2 started from Terminal after sudo gainroot) I thought "Hey there was this command in the host mode thread to add content to a file"

Therefore I used

echo "/usr/bin/gpe-calendar &" > /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-base-apps

I thought this command appends the given text to a file, but instead it replaces everything. Now the real-af-base-apps only contains gpe-calendar.

Does anybody know from where I could get the original content of this file for OS2008?

Thanks

I really recommend anyone messing with anything in the /etc/osso-af-init/ directory to only be working from a mmc install. You mess that stuff up and you can't always reboot:

Here is the contents of that file:

Looks like you learned the hard way.
echo bleh > file.txt, replaces it
echo bleh >> file.txt, appends it.

Re: Problem: Replaced /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-base-apps

Hi,

I know I messed up. It's the first time in about 3 years I made a seriuos Linux mistake without having backed up the relevant files first.

FYI
I was able to restart my tablet, with GPE starting up automatically (as it was the only entry in real-af-base-apps).

The only pproblem I encountered so far was that the standard movie/audio player stopped playing files (although it starts up).

Does anybody know which part of the real-af-base-apps might be relevant for this behaviour?

Thanks again for the help - it saved me from re-flashing and re-installing all the apps and my saved data...

Cheers

Franko30

I guess this part

Re: Problem: Replaced /etc/osso-af-init/real-af-base-apps

Well, I just said what I did about backing up because I've hacked up those files so many times in so many different ways. Can't help myself. But I've also got caught in a reboot cycle a couple of times and since it was only on my flash card, it was an easy fix.

Glad you could boot and got it fixed though. :)
