Re: MyMenu
 
Eesh, updating it (from Qole's repo) has caused some odd behavior. Desktop keeps flashing on and off and applications are gone. Time to remove.

Hmm well this is troubling.. how am I going remove it. Keeps booting to desktop, then flashes and then reboots.

Edit: I recommend caution before anyone installs this. Don't know if the issue is unique to my N900 but I'm pretty much in a reboot loop now.

Re: MyMenu
 
its working fine for me as far as i can tell,
I have never had an older version installed its first time i've tried it, not sure if that makes a difference, maybe its the updating proccess that goes wrong is what i'm thinking.
you have got me scared about uninstalling it now though :eek:

Maybe it is the updating process. I am in the process of downloading the firmware now to reflash the device. I can't seem to uninstall mymenu (I can't get to the prompt quick enough with the constant desktop refreshing).

Re: MyMenu
 
Well, got in to the machine with PuTTy and did a "sudo apt-get remove MyMenu" but I am still in a pickle. Not good. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit:
"dpkg: status database area is locked by another process" when trying instead "dpkg -r mymenu "

Have not rebooted yet, don't feel it would be a good idea at this point. Hmm...

Don't reboot. That leads to my problem (the constant rebooting).

Unfortunately, it decided to do that for me. I checked (over ssh) with top the processes that were running - I thought I'd kill the manager but it just started rebooting. Crap!

And my system is now reflashed. Good thing I did a backup earlier today. Just have to re-do some custom tweaks (like change boot video again) and re-install some testing apps I installed after my backup.
