New package: rescue-boot
This package has simple functionality:
If during boot (sometime in the first 5 seconds, while the white screen with NOKIA still displays) the camera door is open and the camera key is pressed then:
This is useful for developers that their development might cause the system to become non bootable. For example developer of MyMenu might put a script that contains Code:
mv /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu / And then if a user complains that MyMenu caused his system a reboot-loop, then the user can be instructed to perrform a rescue boot. Then the system will boot (with an empty launcher), and the user can run xterm with ctrl-shift-x and restore a known working hildon.menu while sending the problematic hildon.menu for analysis. If MyMenu uses /home/user/.config/menus/hildon.menu instead, then the script needs to be in /etc/rescue-boot-late.d/, since /home is not yet mounted during execution of /etc/rescue-boot.d/. |
Re: New package: rescue-boot
I can't install rescue-boot with apt-get from extras-devel, I get a size mismatch problem. Instead I had to download the deb and use dpkg. Here's the error:
Code:

Re: New package: rescue-boot
this is now (maybe it was a dependecy before already) required to install before the latest Matan's Hildon Home.
before I crash my N900, is this safe to install on top of Multiboot ? or do they fight, as it seems they are both playing in the same area ... ? |
Re: New package: rescue-boot
rescue-boot and multiboot do not conflict, and it is safe to have both installed.
