Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
 
Finally read through this entire thread from where I left it back at page 20-something.

I see that in the days that I have spent doing that, someone has released a multiboot compatible version. Doesn't surprise me. Not ideal, in my opinion, but hey, it makes people happier. I'll do my best to figure out how to do this for U-Boot. Right now I'm still tackling some python/cairo stuff for the Advanced Clock Plugin, but I'm feeling the motivation build to figure out this uboot stuff.

At any rate, just downloaded the latest .deb from your website, RobbieThe1st, and will be looking through the script that makes up BackupMenu. Then on to reading uboot documentation, etc.

Yes! My n900's working again, after having finally gotten and installed my replacement screen.
Now I can test things again.

Fine! :)
Yesterday I restored my ver 0.56 after some kind of fs crash that followed a long session with grr and several microb windows opened. As reported before, the free space on my rootfs went down of about 20 megabytes.
Has anybody had luck with generating a an ubifs image from tarred rootfs with zlib and flashing to the device?

I removed having that sort of terminal, mainly because it was buggy and woud only handle one command-string at once - More like a "run command" box than a terminal.
To replace it, I added USB Terminal and SSH modes, allowing for a full terminal from a connected PC.
At some point, I may re-add the run-command bits, but it's so kludgey I'm not too happy with it right now.
If you -need- it, it's in BMv2 a few versions back, and could be copy-pasted into the latest version.

Just a heads-up, guys: I was shown a mature script for handling battery charging, so I'll implement charging in the next version.

if fixed version of bootmenu will be in repository I write again...
Let me know when it's fixed and works.
It is fixed in bootmenu-n900 version 1.9 (in extras-devel)

So can you add in new version bootmenu script like this?
Code:
ITEM_NAME="BackupMenu"
ITEM_ID="flash"
ITEM_LINUXRC="<path_to_script>"

and for N900 watchdogs I think I have better solution without udev. It is implemented in bootmenu and removing udev speed up starting bootmenu (with watchdogs fix). Program /usr/sbin/watchdogs is included in bootmenu-n900 and only write char \0 every 10 seconds.

This code fix problem with watchdogs:

Code:
        #echo "Creating watchdogs devices..."
        modprobe omap_wdt
        modprobe twl4030_wdt
        for p in /sys/bus/platform/devices/*_wdt/misc:*; do
                n=`basename $p | sed "s/.*://"`
                rm -f /dev/$n
                mknod /dev/$n c `cat $p/dev | sed "s/:/ /g"`
                #ls -l /dev/$n
        done

        #echo "Starting watchdogs..."
        /usr/sbin/watchdogs
When bootmenu is exited, it call

Code:
killall watchdogs

If udev is not needed in backupmenu, can you check if this code without udev speed up starting bootmenu?

And for battery charging: I think that it will be nice if bootmenu can use it too...
