I uninstalled bootmenu
I installed the latest version but the menu at boot keeps putting .32.

It hangs at 98% of dd the Rootfs !

Is there a solution ?

sorry - solution found here:

apt-get remove backupmenu --purge
apt-get install backupmenu

All it means is that backupmenu wasn't (appropriately) installed, and so it "fell back" to the "default" menu.

Same issue here.

bootmenu is defaulting and not recognizing the .item file.

I've purged it and re-installed, same problem.

Make sure that: "/etc/bootmenu.d/backupmenu.item" exists and isl a one-line script (use cat to read the contents).

edit:
Also, check out the first post for upgrade from 0.3x instructions.

Yes.

I know my way around the system quite well.

It calls to the /usr/share/backupmenu script, permissions are set, mode is set properly, everything checks out - but it's not recognized at boot for some reason.

Wait a second here... Do you see a black screen with white text(loading x, y, z etc..) when you boot up with the keyboard out, or does it go straight to the menu?

You may want to look into removing backupmenu completely, deleting any remaining files, removing bootmenu-n900 completely, then reinstalling backupmenu(which will pull in bootmenu-n900 as a dependancy).

In other news, this script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Your encrypted lock code is:'
echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|busybox tail -1):
echo 'Save that code to a plain text file, install John the Ripper, then run "sudo john /path/to/passwordfile.txt"'
when run as root from x-term or via SSH on backupmenu, will grab the encrypted 5-digit lock key. This can then be run through John the Ripper, and your key recovered.
I'm thinking of including this script with backupmenu, so you can simply run "getlockcode" from SSH(this -does- require your root pass, however).

Greetings.
I'm following this topic (mostly the first post) quite a while now, and as i see the comments, this application reached somewhat-stable state and only new features being created/debugged on the newer releases, so i decided to install this application, for the very first time.

So i installed v0.56-1, restarted phone (with keyboard open) and the bootmenu shown me 2 options: boot from internal card, or switch off (by default, it was on a blank area).
If i choose boot from internal card, the phone crashed and switched off. There was no "backupmenu" or similar option.

The only way was to boot up the phone is to close the keyboard.
After bootup, i headed to /etc/bootmenu.d/ and i found a backupmenu.item, edited this, it pointed to some file in /ush/share/backupmenu/ (sorry i can't remember exact filenames and pathes from head) so it seemed that it should work, but don't.

After this, i used apt-get and removed bootmenu-n900 and backupmenu (with --purge), checked the pathes above if any file remained, reboot (with keyboard open), N900 booted up normally so i confirmed that the softwares were removed properly.

Next i installed bootmenu-n900, and downloaded v0.55-1 from the link of the first post because that is mentioned the latest stable/tested version, i installed it manually via dpkg -i, then reboot again, (keyboard open) and again 2 option from bootmenu, booting from internal card crashes, after booting up maemo i checked files, they was in their proper place.

The only extra package what i use and may cause some trouble is "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users" version 2.6.28-maemo42.

Is there a solution ?

I have results similar to the above, and when trying a ver.0.32 img backup of either rootfs or optfs, the program stalls at the end and I have to pull the battery out to stop it.

The length of the image files seem right, though, so they *might* be good to be restored. I don't know whether the 0.32 restore command now works or not, either.

I haven't the guts to try to restore by now , and I'm doing backups both with ver.0.32 and with ver.0.56 - in the hope one is good at least

Necc, thanks for your post.
I'm gonna have to try kernel-power ver 42, I've got 40 and it seems to be working alright.

I get the STOCK bootmenu menu that allows for internal flash booting, or powering the device off.

Same as Necc. I have completely purged bootmenu-n900 as well as BackUpMenu and manually confirmed removal of all relevant files. Re-installed BackupMenu, and thus bootmenu-n900 via dependency, confirmed installation of required files. No changes to bootmenu options.
