Hm, this is interesting, because this is exactly what it used to do to me, which was why I only recently updated the bootmenu module to work with backupmenu "correctly".

Try a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, see if it still does it after upgrading to 1.2.

My primary n900 is running battery drain tests at the moment, so I do not wish to interrupt them by rebooting.

I can report a couple things...

My backup n900 (clean PR1.3) installed and ran backupmenu-1.2.0-1 just installing from HAM.

Restoring/cloning this n900 with root/opt images from my primary then "apt-get remove --purge backupmenu && apt-get install backupmenu" to get backupmenu-1.2.0-1 installed worked successfully (able to reboot and inspect backupmenu's backup/restore items in bootmenu).

I will update this with results from my primary n900 in a few days.

Update...
My on my problematic n900, I ran "apt-get update; apt-get remove --purge backupmenu && apt-get install backupmenu" to upgrade to backupmenu-1.2.0-1. This worked successfully.

I had the same problem as you with the newest versions of bootmenu and backupmenu - that the device would shut down shortly after loading backupmenu. I did this same purge and reinstallation and can confirm it worked. Backing up as we speak!

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
Ah, /that/ makes sense - It's considering the /etc/bootmenu files to be 'config' files, and thus won't overwrite them. However, well, we need them overwritten...

So, after a rather large mess, I have a small request. :)

Can you setup an option so that after a backup (or restore) completes the device will auto-reboot? I ask this because I went to do a full backup, then forgot about things since it takes sometime, and 3 hours later returned to a dead device and a corrupted backup.

Having it auto-reboot would allow one to setup a backup at night, plug it in, and when it finishes it can just reboot and start charging again. :)

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
For a while now I've been meaning to suggest a it plays sound when a long operation has completed.

The reboot thing should be an option if it is implemented, because there are times when it's unhelpful. Case study:
The first time I tried to install CSSU-thumb the device refused to boot into maemo. Luckily I'd already backed up, and could restore my backups, but I still needed to flash the kernel before I tried to reboot.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
I am struggling in backing up my 10GB optfs to an ext3-formatted sdcard. Is this supposed to work at all???
The menu offers to backup to the sdcard as it would to a fat-formatted card, but the tar process is not starting.
Or is it starting in the background, but not providing visual feedback?

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
Just restored a backup and it took forever (almost :-) ). The problem was timestamps of files lying in the future. Is it necessary to check for timestamps and log them as error?

Estel 2012-07-02 03:04
Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
They're just logged, but shouldn't affect speed. I've been restoring backups on devices with wrong time (due to internal battery keeping clock alive is discharged in most N900's now) and it was never slower due to errors - they just look scary unless You read their actual content :)

Anyway, I agree, that completely ignoring timestamps error wouldn't hurt.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
I finally managed to get my N900 stuck on a reboot loop while trying to install the latest kernel power boot image (so it can work with multiboot).

The latest kernel power has rendered the original nokia kernel useless (the entry does not work) so I am unable to boot back up.

Thankfully, I had Backupmenu installed.

I've managed to get USB Networking working, ping it successfully, start up an ssh server and even start up the usb console but I am stuck. What are the credentials in order to SSH into my n900? What is the default password? I've searched for about an hour and have not been able to find conclusive results. I know what I need to fix and what files to scp into my n900 but I am unable to get access to it.

Edit: Nevermind, I ended up fixing the problem.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
I had my N900 device stuck with a "no files/folders" issue
and told to backup rootfs and optfs to emmc using BackupMenu
and then run the 'fsck' on all partitions command to repartition it
so errors will be fixed and emmc and SDcard should mount.

well, I did it .
BUT......
when I've run fcsk all partitions .....nothing happens !!
as i reboot i still got no access to device nor SD.

Am I missing something ? should i do anything else ?

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
Help? Backupmenu stopped working for me.

I'm having a problem with restoring my n900 - I had a documented, working procedure (see --> http://pastebin.com/9XL8HbR4 <--) that involved flashing the VANILLA, then COMBINED images, updating to Maemo5, installing kernel-power and backup menu then restoring from backup.

All in all, it took maybe around a couple of hours while doing other things besides.

It no longer works! After restoring my image, the phone goes into a boot loop.

Since this might have something to do with backup menu versions, I've tried a backup from April 28 and July 4, but they both do the same thing. It's safe to assume backupmenu was up to date at the time those images were created, and I've definitely used the April 28 one successfully before.

Flashing in just the COMBINED image will get the phone up in Maemo 1.2 with some stuff like my contacts intact, but PLEASE help if I'm missing something here as I really do not want to do tweaking configuration that took months over again by hand.

Estel 2012-07-31 03:53
Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
Hard to say, without more details :( Maybe You should go into root console ("t" from backupmenu main menu), and try extracting backup archives manually, via mounting rootfs and optfs, then, using gtar? I wonder if it really extract BOTH archives. One for sure, as otherwise it wouldn't be looping... Still if You see progress and no errors it is.

If extracting process goes OK, it's not thing related to backupmenu, and Your backups are screwed, somehow. Of course, You can also use root console to fix it *after* restoration - vi is powerful tool ;) But, first, You would need to know what is causing it.

Maybe You have framebuffer enabled in KP? Try recording video of rolling text, and see why it shuts down/reboots? If no, you can renable framebuffer via same method - root console, mounting rootfs, and editing appropriate file. You need to modprobe fbcon early in preinit - search forum for detailed instructions.

Is the kernel-power version you're installing the same as on the backup image? If not then you'll be missing the correct modules and a reboot loop would be a likely result.

Thanks Rob1n that'll be it right there as kernel-power got updated about a week ago IIRC. Argh. That's a big stumbling block but seems unavoidable.

It looks like there's some info on downgrading kernel-power in this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72893

With a command of the sort eg; root@n900# apt-get install kernel-power=2.6.28-maemo46 though of course that's way out dated (no one use this command!)

I will proceed with caution and try to figure this out. *eep* :D

You could:
Download the right package from
http://maemo.org/packages/view/kernel-power/
(match the backup dates with those on the kernel)

Extract the kernel.

Restore rootfs & optfs then shutdown.

Then use Flasher to flash the kernel only.

Or even more easy, but only available if you got multiboot with backupmenu-multiboot installed on your device:rolleyes::
boot with kb out and choose the matching kernel to start/flash (indeed the one you used last is best for first try, as it will flash that kernel and reboot. or if you like to go stock again, just select that).

mrsellout 2012-08-01 21:10
Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
It would be cool if there was just an option in BackupMenu to also backup the kernel when you do a Rootfs + Optfs backup and also restore the lot (including flashing the kernel) when you need to.

Estel 2012-08-01 22:15
Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
It was proposed many times ago, and it's not straightforward - indeed would need scavenging flashing code from multiboot.
---

In the meantime - I've introduced .lzma compression instead of .gz one, for backup with compression. Results are much better - rootfs compressed image is about 60 MB, in my case. I've also updated charging script to more recent version.

Updated version sent to robbiethe1st already, so I hope we may expect some kind of update soon :) We've also discussed possibility of using Pali's bq2415x_charger module for charging, (instead of charge.sh script) for kernel-power users, and depending on i2c-tools, instead of providing i2cget and i2cset as separate binariers, with backupmenu.

On Multiboot's package there is a script for flashing the kernel that can be used standalone.
The code of this script is simple and it is:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

initctl stop softupd

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up

softupd --local --verbose --stdout --standalone &
pid=$!

flasher --local -f -k $1

sleep 1
kill $pid

echo "Finished flashing."
Strangely multiboot main script does not use this script but the code are embedded on main script too.

I suppose that if N900 was booted (i.e. by u-boot) from an initrd (so Maemo's nand and eMMC are not mounted) it would be possible to flash a full fiasco image (like a flash from usb by pc) and not only a kernel.

Then use Flasher to flash the kernel only.
The most promising way I tried so far was the following. The 'zimage' FIASCO kernel image I grabbed from the webpage suggested and extracted it using the archive-manager

Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power50.fiasco --flash-only=kernel -f -R
This resulted in
Quote:
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Image 'kernel', size 1741 kB
Version 2.6.28.10-power50
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus 002, device address 008.

NOLO version 1.4.14

Sending kernel image (1741 kB)...
100% (1741 of 1741 kB, avg. 27216 kB/s)
Flashing kernel... done.
However, when I try booting all system bitmaps are missing - instead everything onscreen is replaced with a '[]' square character

Since matters were totally messed up by that point, I tried a variation on flash to stock...

Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f -R

sudo flasher-3.5 -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power50.fiasco --flash-only=kernel -f -R
to try and get a working barebones system with the power50 kernel but no dice ... boot loop

What am I missing? Thx

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
As far as I understand it by installing KP with apt-get, first it downloads the kernel plus flasher and then flashes it directly inside Maemo.

Wouldn't this produce the same result what you try to achieve by flashing to stock and then the kernel only?

I think you can get power51r1 that way, but don't see a full list of previous versions (I need power50) in the repos unfortunately...

Specify the version of the kernel-power, kernel-power-modules and kernel-power-flasher on the command line.
You could search for all the versions in your repositories
Code:
apt-cache policy kernel-power kernel-power-modules kernel-power-flasher
The output may look like this (color just done to pick the version string):

but that worked like a charm. So for anyone else struggling with this and with a backup from somewhere between April and July that needs to clear their NVRAMs and get the phone back up (I'm afraid I may have a somewhat dodgy memory chip as well) or more generally, if you need to match up your backup with a corresponding kernel-power kernel, here's the (detail-free but succinct) pattern that worked for me , just read back in this thread a bit and substitute the kp version you require.

0. Have a backup-menu backup saved on your desktop
1. Reflash EMMC/FIASCO combined images, boot phone.
2. Add maemo-extras, maemo-extras-testing, maemo-extras-devel repositories back in
3. Allow update to 1.3
4. Install bash3, sudser.
5. Run the kernel-power command (see above) to install the next-to most recent kernel power kernel image
6. Reboot phone, put your backup images in ~/MyDocs/systemBackups/
7. Install backupmenu
8. Reboot into the backup menu (keyboard open) and restore your backup... huzzah! it works, no bootloop like if you have a mismatched kernel :)

Thanks for the help, you folks are the Maemo gods

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)
 
Please excuse me because I bet you've been asked that a billion times already, but I read somewhere that you got your hands on a N950 last year Robbie. Water under the bridge since then so I just wanted to know what we may expect/hope now. For a long time, I thought you wouldn't work on a port ever as you did not receive a N950 from Nokia (and it was quite disappointing to be honest considering that your app is probably the one app that every N900 user should have, I don't see any other app that could be as useful to as many people), but reading that you finally got one made me recover some hope. Have you been trying to port BackupMenu to the N950 (and then the N9)? If so, any progress to report, a roadmap or something?

Sorry again if you've been answering to that question somewhere, but I couldn't find any mention of that in your lasts posts. Either way, would you be working on a port or would you have decided not to port it (or found it impossible to port), a short mention in the first post to make it clear what is going on on that matter could be nice. It would make questions like mine rarer too!

Thanks in advance for you reply, keep up the great work.

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

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

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).
