Phone Freezing + battery drain after a stupid mistake with Desktop command execution widget
 

Today i installed desktop command execution widget, I added the first widget (free rootfs space) and it worked fine. Then i added a 2nd widget with this command: htop --sort-key TIME.

The widget was supposed to show some value and not open terminal window with htop, so the device freezed and Hildon-Menu + Hildon-Desktop became unresponsive. After like 5 minutes the device responded and the widget appeared like in the picture below:

And after clicking on Desktop Menu i always get this:

Also Hildon-Menu + Hildon-Desktop are using 100% CPU all the time, so I uninstalled Desktop command execution widget, but the problem still exists. Even after restarting the phone.

Also this process keep using cpu, even after killing it, it keeps opening:

The question is how to undo all this crap :D ?

Thanks.

I did, but hildon-menu+desktop still freezes and use 100% cpu.

then kill the htop.

ps aux |grep htop --sort

and kill -9 pid number you got with previous command

or then just killall htop (not sure if it works)

I used killall htop, but it reopens after like 5 minutes and continues to use CPU, that happened after i added the stupid widget..

I tried to install Desktop command execution widget again. I added one widget and everything worked fine, after i added the second Widget Hildon-Menu Freezed and i needed to kill it... So i guess it's causing the problem even after uninstalling it.

After removing Desktop command execution widget again, It's still in the widgets list! But not in the Application manager, so it isn't removed completely?

And Hildon-status-menu is also using 20% CPU all the time :D

so Reflash it is????

Did you try changing the widget's command?
Opening the widget and changing 'htop ...' to 'somesimplecommand' might overwrite whatever has been saved.

I removed the command, and uninstalled the widget completely.. But it's still in the widgets list and the problem still exists..

I had this problem recently and solved it by deleting the settings file.

Open X-Terminal then type:

rm /home/user/.desktop_cmd_exec

Don't forget the dot!

As an aside, I couldn't find a fix for this problem on the web, so I downloaded the source code to see what the name of the file was. Gotta love open-source projects!
