Hey everone, new nanonote user.  Updated the firmware and now it boots to gmenu2x how  do I  get back to the command line or stop gmenu from booting at start
<vegyraupe>
qwebirc79405: hey, try ctrl+alt+f1
<vegyraupe>
that shoudl get you a console
<vegyraupe>
maybe ctrl+alt+f2
<vegyraupe>
let me check the file you'll need to change
<qwebirc79405>
ctrh alt f1 worked
<qwebirc79405>
gosh can't hit the keys straight
<qwebirc79405>
Thank you
<qwebirc79405>
Been trying all day
<vegyraupe>
heh ok
<vegyraupe>
and in /etc/rc.d/S99start you will find gmenu being started
<vegyraupe>
you can either remove the file completely
<vegyraupe>
or comment out /usr/bin/gmenu2x with a leading #
<qwebirc79405>
thx for tip will comment out
<vegyraupe>
qwebirc79405: no prob :)
<vegyraupe>
I will add it to the wiki right away :)
<vegyraupe>
tuxbrain: morning, what is ur nick on the wiki?
<zear>
larsc, i think going up a dir in gmenu2x is still broken
<zear>
unless the version of gmenu2x in the latest image isn't the one with applied patches
<larsc>
zear: it's not in the image
<zear>
ah
<zear>
btw, i don't know who is responsible for the image, but you can easily add gmenu2x entries for "console" and "poweroff", "reboot"
<zear>
i'd like to find such entries preinstalled with the image
<larsc>
zear: send a patch
<zear>
larsc, first i'd need to have a newest version of gmenu2x installed
<zear>
the one with the fixes
<zear>
is it easy enough to compile with owrt?
<larsc>
yes
<larsc>
edit feeds/qi/gmenu2x/Makefile
<kristianpaul>
ls
<larsc>
and set PKG_REV to HEAD
<larsc>
then you'll get the latest version
<zear>
larsc, i must have an outdated version of owrt as i don't have the ./feeds/qi dir
<larsc>
zear: what is in your feeds.conf?
<zear>
actually, i don't have one
<zear>
i only have feeds.conf.default
<larsc>
ah ok
<larsc>
cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf
<zear>
now do scripts/feeds update and i'll have the qi dir?
<darfgarf>
attempting to do an ipkg of nupdf, what's the best place to have it install to (on the nanonote)
<larsc>
zear: if there is an qi entry in feeds.conf, then yes
<zear>
larsc, i copied feeds.conf.default to feeds.conf, then ran scripts/feeds update and scripts/feeds install -a and i still don't have ./feeds/qi dir
<larsc>
darfgarf: /usr/bin/
<zear>
larsc, oh, there is not
<darfgarf>
larsc, is it ok to have the data folder there aswell?
<darfgarf>
as i've done it to be self contained, as that's easier for the dingoo
<zear>
darfgarf, that's the reason i hate the "linux" way of storing the data on embedded devices
<darfgarf>
yes, spreads out all over the place
<larsc>
darfgarf: data is /usr/share
<larsc>
zear: do you have openwrt from openwrt.org or qi-hardware.org?
<kristianpaul>
so i can do ubifs the 1700MB of remaining NAND and then add it to shole filesystem=
<kristianpaul>
?
<xiangfu>
yes. we can do ubifs on the 1700MB nand.
<kristianpaul>
how?
<xiangfu>
ubiformat /dev/mtd3 -y
<xiangfu>
ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 3
<xiangfu>
ubimkvol /dev/ubi1 -s 1730MiB -N data
<xiangfu>
mkdir /data
<xiangfu>
mount -t ubifs ubi1:data /data/
<kristianpaul>
but i need do mount at boot time with a script or i can tell kernel use it?
<kristianpaul>
actually thats the quetiona i want to make :)
<kristianpaul>
or at least i way after every system upgrade i dont have to coy scripts again
<xiangfu>
I am not find a method let "/etc/fstab" auto mount ubifs now. :-(
<kristianpaul>
:/
<kristianpaul>
well i'll keep using the script at initd
<xiangfu>
kristianpaul, I will keep searching the method :-)
<kristianpaul>
script !
<kristianpaul>
but will reduce startup time
<kristianpaul>
may be i need find how how to laucn gmenu and the same time i mount the /data
<xiangfu>
launch gmenu is at /etc/init.d/start
<kristianpaul>
yeah i replaced with a script that mounts and then lucnh gmenu2x
<xiangfu>
great
<heow>

Well, now it's booting as soon as I plug it in, it's not waiting for the power button.
<kristianpaul>

<kristianpaul>

<heow>
Yup
<kristianpaul>

Removed battery, plug it into USB (direct to laptop) and it boots.  Well, tries to boot, get's stuck with a blank screen
<kristianpaul>

What the hell.  Ok, now it just stopped autobooting and I'm back to usbboot.
