Hi

I've got a weird problem with my 770, running the latest OS 2006 off a 2gig RSMMC, and using Fanoush's kernel speed hacks. It worked fine for 4 months then this..

It's as if the on-board storage is 'locked' or I've got the wrong permissions, but I have no idea how it happened. Before I reflash and re-install everything again, please can someone suggest what i did wrong and how to fix it (and therein not happen again ). thanks!

At first I thought it was a permissions problem, perhaps as I SSH into it all the time as root and have only ever installed anything as root. (yes, sorry, not sure what I'm doing entirely re permissions and users)

On cold boot I noticed the internet radio applet fails (with a unable to load user defined channels dialog), then I noticed canola stopped working (though mplayer works) and I couldn't reinstall it...and now Maemo mapper throws up errors (it cant read it's cache). Neither can I browse the system memory.

what have I done, what do I do?

cheers all, Iain

Sounds like your mmc card isn't installed. Maybe pop it out and put it back in.

Are all these files that the apps are failing to read (Canola presumably will show some error related to something stored on the card if you look) stored on the internal card?

If the system detects filesystem corruption it will "lock" the device by mounting it read-only.

See if the output of "mount" shows the card as mounted "ro" (as opposed to the usual "rw" - read-write). If this is the case, take the card out and run scandisk on it, or install the appropriate package containing fsck.vfat and run that.

I've well and truly broken canola trying to unistall and re-install it after it stopped working. It's no longer in the 'start' menu and just gives dependency errors (libmedia0,clinko,libcanola-plugins) on re-install even though all my repositories are seemingly correct (I dont think I'm the only onehaving that issue though)

err I thought everything is installed to MMC2. How to check?

I've taken out/ re-inserted the RSMMC with no change. But booting from the internal ram seems to work fine..

output of mount:
