I have been using KDE for a while now and decided to use Penguinbait's DEB to get KDE to start straight away. Unfortuantely it is stuck in a loop now and just keeps restarting, I do recall somebody else having this problem previously but am unable to find the threads.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Try booting directly to KDE multiple times, I am not sure what has changed but I need to update the deb. I noticed on mine, it boots about 1 out of 4 times???

Once booted up, remove the deb, if you can't get it to boot, I can maybe walk you through removing it from your flash partition. It should boot though, try several times.

Sorry for the issue...

Boot to flash
--------------------------------------------
open xterm

become root

mount your boot from SD partition (say /disk - you would have to make the dir)

mkdir /disk

mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /disk
or (depending on which card slot)
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /disk

dpkg --root=/disk --admindir=/disk/var/lib/dpkg -r kde-boot

This will remove it from the SD partition cleanly

Now:

umount /disk

Reboot its done


LINUX RULES!!!!!!!!!

Hello,

Thanks for the info. One thing I did notice though and not sure if it helps but when I boot from the SD card it says booting from mmcblk0p2, which I beleive is the internal card?

However when I followed your instructions above to get it removed I had to use the command mont /dev/mmcblk1p2 /disk to get it mounted?

Seemed strange but I dont really know enough to comment

Cheers for the advice though, worked a treat

Its definitely is one to keep in your back pocket, if you install any app that messes you up, can can remove it from flash. I will update the deb shortly to fix this issue.

Take a look at this, if your up for setting it up manually
