(solved) messed up Filebox
 
hello,

after shutting down the phone,becuase it was slow and Filebox wouldn't close down, it's messed up.

another program was taking up all cpu power,even after it was closed

anyway...
now all icons are gone in Filebox,and also some buttons are missing.
starting it from termninal doesn't give an error...

i removed it, dpkg purge, installed it again an --reinstall
neither of these things work...

so,to sum it up...HELP!! ;)

Re: messed up Filebox
 
Is only Filebox suffering? I suspect you may have a file system corruption. I would install BackupMenu if you have not yet, boot to mass storage mode and fsck all your partitions.

Another possibility is that not Filebox itself but some theme it uses is corrupt. In that case you may need to find which one. The first step, apt-get purge filebox, apt-get autoremove --purge.

everyting else works great...
remove/purge and install again won't work,tried that already.

i'll try a different theme, and a reboot...

changing the theme didn't work
backupmenu fsck gives me an error:
"unknown error code 1 couldn't change name"

maye something is read-only...?

just reminds me, i downloaded a huge file to /home, wich ended up full
that gave some errors installing/uninstalling apps
but i removed that after the reboot i mentiond in my first post.

Have you also tried autoremove? The idea is that Filebox itself is OK but one of its dependencies was screwed up. apt-get autoremove --purge should clear that, provided nothing else used it. After that, reinstalling Filebox should pull it back again.

You may have ended up with some partial installation due to full /home. Try dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii.

I think it is fs corruption. Coincidentally the same happened to me last night but with cutetube and a ca. 100 mb file downloads to home. 2 files ok, 3rd failed. Now cannot download new stuff and cannot remove cutetube folder with partial downloads. Device otherwise operative.

A fsck via backupmenu produces same error as given above. A fsck from root shell reveals 2 fats. Following request by fsck to select one of the fats does not complete (I forgot error as it was late...). That's as far as I got.

I'd recommend NOT doing fsck from BackupMenu. More often than not its attempts to fix errors will lead to more problems. Instead, I'd recommend booting to BackupMenu and selecting mass storage mode (the "w" key). That will export all partitions via USB, including rootfs and optfs. Then you can fsck them from a desktop Linux PC with a more up-to-date fsck. Even better, dd the entire partition to the PC, fsck it offline, and if and only if it turns out OK, dd it back.

Re: messed up Filebox
 
can't remove any files from /MyDocs
it's all read-only...

Re: messed up Filebox
 
if i run fsck -a it start complaining about a couple of files i dowloaded

home/user # fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
dosfsck 3.0.12, 29 Oct 2011, FAT32, LFN
FATs differ but appear to be intact. Using first FAT.
/.documents/iGO Navteq 2012.Q3 EUROPE/map/Ukraine_R3_NQ_2012.Q3(AP).fpa
Contains a free cluster (33821). Assuming EOF.
/.documents/iGO Navteq 2012.Q3 EUROPE/map/Ukraine_R3_NQ_2012.Q3(AP).fpa
File size is 15883280 bytes, cluster chain length is 0 bytes.

/edit/
fixed that..
now I get this:
/home/user # fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
dosfsck 3.0.12, 29 Oct 2011, FAT32, LFN
Reclaimed 2364 unused clusters (154927104 bytes).
Free cluster summary wrong (425760 vs. really 431028)
1) Correct
2) Don't correct

I would go the route advised by pichlo. Pref use dd and fsck....

The corruption is the real issue as that is truly limiting if it happens regularly with large writes. Have yet to search that issue on tmo but recall there are concerns (kp or was it cssu?).
