Re: WTF - Boot loop after a normal "apt-get upgrade"
 

Tried both method.
The "Disable R&D + Lifeguard" gives no user interface, and I'm no blind operator. Anyway to enable UI or at least WiFi+SSH is welcomed!
Meanwhile I booted into RescueOS and WTF, there's no /home... USB Mass Storage is RAW format on Windows... AND no /usr/lib which means I can't replace the wrong lib even if I have the correct file!!
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Mounting maemo rootfs in rescueOS gives me access to /usr/lib BUT NOT /home (ls returned empty results) so I'm still not able to put files (NITDroid can only access /home)...

Re: WTF - Boot loop after a normal "apt-get upgrade"
 

This advice may be worthless, but don´t you have ssh installed on the N900, so you could use putty in combination with BackupMenu?

That should give you access to the whole device.

See, I haven"t got backupmenu installed previously. Or I shoulda solved this in no time...

UPDATE 2: Tried blind typing under R&D + LG-off, but with no UI present, it seems that I can't get over the "Disable offline mode" dialog (I use offline mode very often) because I imitated presses on the "yes" button and waited AND Ctrl-Shift-X and "root" and "reboot" and nothing happens...

Using Rescue OS:

With this you can mount /home from USB. You *do* know that /home is an ext3 partition do you? (hint: use Linux).

Anyway, try putting the original libxau6 somewhere in your SD card, mount rootfs (you said you now know how to do that), and then overwrite the file (I think it's in /usr/lib).

Good luck. and read the documentation!

"Hint: use Linux" - You know I'm no Linux boy and I'm not gonna grab a Linux machine for this (I don't have one either)...
Put libxau6 in SD? The external? But isn't it that mount-maemo-root.sh only mounts a part of /(root dir)? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm n00b on Linux...
If that script does mount the external SD then point out the path for me... Thx :P

Re: WTF - Boot loop after a normal "apt-get upgrade"
 

No need to be a Linux boy, just google LiveCD, burn onto a CD, and boot from there. Shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

Ain't no better if my notebook PC can read discs... BUT really my PC doesn't even have a disc drive!! WTF am I gonna do...

go to any internet center and flash it using thier PC's

Re: WTF - Boot loop after a normal "apt-get upgrade"
 

I don't know or care if you're a "Linux boy" or not. Fact is /home is an ext3 partition so if you want to be able to mount it you either use Linux or find some driver/"app" that lets you do that on whatever OS you're using.

libxau6 should in the end go in /usr/lib, that's your rootfs partition. Since you're booting from an SD card and before that you cannot possibly access the internal memory of the N900, the most logical place to put the new libxau6 is somewhere on that card, and THEN once you've booted, copy it from the SD card to the /usr/lib directory of your N900 root partition (obviously, after you've mounted it).

Other than I have no other suggestion. You either do it or not. If you're not willing to do that ("no linux boy") then your only option is to do a complete reflash.. but beware, flashing may work better under Linux than Windows.
