i just purchased an 8gb class 6 card, so i figured i would re-flash my n810 and re-install KDE to it..

spent 3 hours getting everything setup and working, now i shut down, and when i start it backup, it keeps re-booting itself.

the nokia name comes up, and the blue line gets about 30% there, then the blue light comes on and it just reboots.

it DID work before, i dont know what would have caused it.

any idea on how to fix it before i have to re-do the whole thing again?

Is this KDE debs or boot from SD?

If it is boot from SD, its probably a corrupt filesystem. Boot to flash and run fsck on the SD partition.

If this is KDE deb install, its not KDE

Either way KDE should not cause this behavior

actually, i figured out what it is, it isnt KDE, its the tablet.

you CANNOT have a .profile setup in /home/user

i was trying to put a xmodmap in there, and apparently when the tablet boots up, it logs in as user or something, and something isnt up yet, causing it to error out and reboot.

happens every time..

you can have a .profile

Perhaps yours contained an error?

all i have in there is one line

/usr/bin/xmodmap /home/user/xmod

(xmod does exist in that dir, and the file xmod does exist in there, both have permissions of 755)

xmod contains just one line:

keycode 60 = period greater bar bar bar


this is the same line/entry i have in the root profile.

i also confirmed this.

if you put that .profile file in that directory and reboot, the tablet WILL go into an automatic reboot.

I did it from a freshly flashed n810, since i couldnt boot i had no choice.


go ahead! try it... i dare you

Are you trying to load xmodmap in Hildon or KDE? If KDE the only way to do it is in autostart. do google search xmodmap kde autostart

if you want to do it in hildon?? I always fire it off in xterm....

apparently when the tablet boots up, it logs in as "user" at some point, the .profile trys to load and reboots the tablet.

i even tried it without kde (from a freshly flashed n810)... just put that .profile file in, and it will just keep rebooting.
