Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

I just found your old topic at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=754837&postcount=1 and found this:

My program is an ASH/BusyBox script run by the Bootloader application in bootloader-n900.
As it is a shell script, it should be fairly immune to custom kernels and setups; so long as BusyBox and the various executables are still accessible, it ought to still work.

As i had no idea in the past how this app work, i couldn't imagine any conflicting application, but now i have:

busybox-advanced 1.15.3 This package adds more than 170 commands to the default N900's BusyBox ash sh

from: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4469013/temp/applist.txt

When i can get some free time, i'll try again.

Edit:
And found it!
Busybox-advanced package causes conflict with backupmenu!
This package is the part of this repository.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

Extracted the above tarball, confirmed files are being place properly and rebooted.

bootmenu STILL shows the stock/default boot menu options for internal partition or power off.

This is really baffling me.

@Necc:
I really should start on some proper documentation one of these days.

I'm betting that busybox addon ends up adding a few extra required libraries, which it can't find inside the chroot and crashes, dropping back to the old bootloader.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

To add to the confusion, I do not have busybox addons installed.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

busybox-advanced uses extra libs, which is why it won't work. I'm going to add it as a conflict in the next version - It doesn't look good enough to develop a workaround for(I just installed it, and couldn't install power-kernel with it installed). Plus, the gnu-tools are better anyway.

Hawaii, can I have a list of your installed packages?
Perhaps also give me the output of "cd /bin & ldd busybox" also?

Thanks.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

Hm... try removing "rescue-boot"? I'm not sure why it'd conflict, but it's all I can think of.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

I've had it co-existing with every previous BackupMenu installation :\

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

Well, erm, I'm not sure. I can't think of anything.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore

Removed, purged, rebooted. Same issue.
