    BOOT FROM SD USERS ONLY


    I will update this later with more information, but here you go.

    Install this and you will boot to KDE instead of Hildon

    Uninstall this and you will boot back to Hildon as normal

    DO NOT USE

    PCQ, just what you wanted

    I installed this and now I'm stuck in a reset loop I get the booting from mmc2 screen and the blue bar starts to move across the bottom but then stops about 75% of the way and reboots. This process just keeps looping. I can't even get in to uninstall. Please help!

    uh oh, we can fix this, can you boot to flash?

    can you pm me how to contact you via IM (AIM yahoo, something)

    or try this

    Boot to flash
    --------------------------------------------
    open xterm
    become root
    mount your boot from SD partition (say /disk - you would have to make the dir)
    dpkg --root=/disk --admindir=/disk/var/lib/dpkg -r kde-boot

    This will remove it from the SD partition cleanly

    Yup! Uninstalling the deb using xterm in flash fixed everything. I'll try to install again after I get a chance to update my OS. Thanks again for your help

    Thop & Aisu - if this deb worked for you, what version of OS are you running? PB is using the most current version of OS2008 and I'm using the one just before (v2.2007.50-2). Just trying to figure out why I got stuck in the reset loop

    It didn't work for me either, same reboot loop on OS2008 diablo.
    I uninstalled the deb and managed to successfully boot kde directly doing the following:

    1. change /etc/rc2.d/S51hildon-desktop to /etc/rc2.d/K51hildon-desktop
    2. create a file in /etc/init.d/kde with the following content:

    Code:
    #! /bin/sh
    
    SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/stopmaemo
    SU=`which su`
    
    if [ "x${SU}" != "x" ]
    then
       SUUSER="${SU} - user"
    fi
    
    case "$1" in
    start)
            $SUUSER $SCRIPT
       sleep 8
            ;;
    
    stop)
            echo "$0: not implemented"
            exit 1
            ;;
    restart)
            echo "$0: not implemented"
            exit 1
            ;;
    force-reload)
            echo "$0: not implemented"
            exit 1
            ;;
    *)      echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
            exit 1
            ;;
    esac
    3. Make sure the script has -x permission.

    Code:
    chmod +x /etc/init.d/kde
    4. Created a symlink in rc2.d in order to start kde at the end of the boot process:

    Code:
    cd /etc/rc2.d
    ln -s ../init.d/kde S99kde
    And that's it. When I select the external card on the bootloader kde loads directly. I still have to fix the issue that if you log out of kde, it starts hildon-desktop instead of shutting down.

    hope this helps someone.

    Not sure what your problem was, but this was built for diablo and I am running it on 36-5. So I am unsure why you had an issue?

    I also had the loop issue with the latest diablo
