Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

Very carefully, move the "<!--" to the last 6th line position, and looked like
.
.
.
</callback>
</menuitem>
<!---->
</menuitem priority="0" ......
<return>5</return>
<po>...
</menuitem>
</powerkeymenu>


This way you got all the options. That is what my tablet look like, see screenshots here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...254#post192254 , thread #2

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

is there a way to comment out specific menu items without affecting the other menu options? For example, I'd like to remove the following items:
lock device
top in x-term

can I just add a "<!--" and a "-->" before / after each <menuitem> / </menuitem> in the systemui.xml?

and too, it seems that when coming back from the softpoweroff option with a long key.press, it restores my network connections - is there a way to:
1. change it to NOT restore my net.connections
2. change it to come back on with a short key press / square button press similar to returning from a lock screen & button menu select?

(as always, small words / simple concepts / long explanations for a linux newbie is always appreciated)

thanks in advance

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

Yes, you can comment things out exactly that way.

Edit /etc/mce/mce.ini, I think, to change the softpoweroff details. It's got comments explaining what each item does. (I don't think 2. is possible, though...)

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

thanks Benson,
got #1 to work perfectly the first time (surprisingly - had to dig deep to remember my dos-editing days...) so now I have no options to lock my device or go to xterm in my power menu and I got softpoweroff to not restore my connections (double-woohoo!)

just gotta figure out that longkeypress / softpoweroff return-thing now... anyone else have any clues?

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

thanks for this tip! however when i resume from soft poweroff the power button and the touchscreen becomes unresponsive.. normal?

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

Yes, it is normal. Just hold down the power key for a few seconds and let go and the buttons work again.

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

Same here.

Do you have "Statusbar Graph Control" installed? If you do, add this "shutdown" command:
sh -c 'echo shutdown -r now | sudo gainroot'

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

Wow, that is truly amazing. It works like magic. THANK YOU, nhanquy. I like it very much. I think this is the most important app, I used it quite often. I shortened it down just a bit,
sh -c 'echo reboot | sudo gainroot' to save a couple of strokes. Thanks, it is always good to see you hang around, you always have GOOD ideas :)

Re: A small utility program to soft reboot your tablet
 

thank you! i just wonder what the short power key press is for. it seems to power on the device but leaves the tablet in offline mode, correct? or does it serve another purpose like underclock the processor or something?
