Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
Hey!
My N900 just resurrected after several months (through the help of a replacement screen). So I might have missed a lot in the meantime. I was going to install CSSU and in preparation use backupmenu. I installed via

Code:

apt-get install backupmenu
There was some message regarding i2c and possible damage during the installation. Besides that all went fine (I think). If I boot with the keyboard open the backupmenu-boot screen comes up. However, if I select the backup option, there is a message similar to
Code:

udev
1
2

then the screen goes blank/the phone shuts down. Any hints what I am missing :confused: ?

Thanks a lot and nice to be back ;)!

There seems to be an error during installation. You might try to look at the state of the package managment system from X-Terminal application.
Code:

sudo gainroot
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install -f

If this does not change anything package-wise, i would suggest to remove backupmenu and install it freshly with some update as well. Try
Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get purge backupmenu
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install backupmenu
apt-get install -f

That didn't do much, however it made me find out about a 'Provides-line' problem with binutils that you responded to elsewhere.

Well, somewhere along these lines 'apt' finally did the job. Now backup is running. I'm looking forward to dive into CSSU :cool:

Unfortunately, Aegis & implementation of "AMD Trusted 'Trust my ***' Computing (tm)" made it quite impossible (even with open kernel). This, and many other useful things. Say "hi" to people responsible for bringing this sh|t to Harmattan :(

So, I've gotten myself yet another N900 - and restoring optfs+rootfs off another N900 leaves a bootable yet broken clone.

Applications do not open, services set to boot will crash when starting up.

I ensured this was using a v1.20 <-> v1.20 images. Any idea what would cause this? Both tarballs are restored with no errors.

..could it be, that you made the backups with KP, and are restoring it without KP or different KP configurations..? I had a similar problem once.
..give it a thought.

Both are running custom kernels, both show it in uname.

I'll reload the kernel from flasher and see what happens.

I just finished optifying the following folders:
/usr/lib/locale
/usr/share

i have these folders now as links to a path in my opt partition and i have 45mb! of free space of root now :)

The device boots normally, however, in the multiboot menu when i try to run backupmenu, i get a black screen and it just reboots again.

how can i override this?

[Edit]
it seems that /usr/share caused another issue with the device's sound - it stopped working so i returned this folder to be root. i'm not sure what was the reason for this behavior, but now all is back to normal (30mb available).
