OK, no ideas here.
I have a 6000 running OZ 3.5.2. I was playing around a little bit with it, trying to upgrade Kopi (which was on quickload)...
Well, my main partition ran out of space during the upgrade, so I tried removing Kopi and supporting libraries to install them to SD. Good plan, but since Kopi was on quickload I decided to reboot with the reset button...
...and Opie is no more. I can boot and press a button at the "press a key within 5 seconds" prompt, and all works as well as it can in text mode. I can even activate wlan0 and ssh in to play around. But starting Opie always blanks the screen and does nothing on the main unit (ssh is still responsive and I can pretend to "/etc/init.d/opie stop" and "/etc/init.d/opie start" to my heart's content).
How can I diagnose what's going on? I have to admit to being a little panicked; I'm about to move in 2 days and the Z was going to be my wireless link to the outside world, so this is Very Unfortunate.

Start syslogd; then try 'opie start'; then use logread (I think) to see what the error messages were.
Alternatively make a copy of the /etc/init.d/opie script and edit it so that the errors are spat out to the console rather than to /dev/null

Hey, I have the same problem!
I have an 5500, though, but the symptoms are exactly the same. When I /etc/init.d/opie start from the commandline, then theres just quicklauncher in the process list, not qpe nor opie-login (not sure if they have to...).
Heres the relevant excerpt from logread:
Jan 1 16:59:51 collie syslog.info -- MARK --
Jan 1 17:10:30 collie user.warn qpe: qt_init() [1383] - successfully entered daemon mode
Seems ok to me.
Here's how it came: I incidentally switched to the text console. Not remembering how to change back, I looked for a command like "switch" or whatnot, using completion by pressing tab. The only possibilities were "swapon" and "swapoff", so I tried using <- to enter something new. I dont know what else I pressed, but then the screen went blank, power went off (I dont have any swap partition, and surely didnt press 5 buttons at once, so I think it doesnt have anything to do with the possible commands). Thats it, I had to hard-reset, and now I have the same symptoms as vputz. I could just reflash (I have backups ), but I'd surely like to know whats going on...

syslogd/logread, eh?
OK, lemme try...root@tosa:~# /etc/init.d/opie start

You seem to already have a /root/Applications directory.
Assuming it is the Opie Applications directory. Exiting.

Hmm, got my blank screen running. Let's try that logread.
Woops. Logread showed no new entries.

...hmm, don't see anything that looks like QPE.
I tried editing /etc/init.d/opie to redirect anything from /dev/null and, well, I don't see "null" anywhere in there.
I'm absolutely flummoxed! Any clues would be helpful, but I'm out of ideas.
Thanks!

Okay, so perhaps it's directed elsewhere. there must be some output going somewhere.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=69901\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
One would think. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic--just couldn't see any redirection. And I'm not sure there is any!
The plot thickens...
I played with /etc/init.d/opie a bit. It basically comes down to setting the environment and then calling
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe -terminal 2
Hmm, sounds good. I try that from the command line... and Opie tries to come up! Frabjous day! Unfortunately, it comes up with ONLY the documents tab and the O-menu doesn't work, and it takes a little bit with the hourglass cursor in the bottom-right corner to do it.
Here's the kicker... if I set the OPIEDIR, QPEDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PATH as the init.d/opie script does... that very same command line does nothing except say "starting in daemon mode" and quitting (without leaving anything running):
root@tosa:~# export OPIEDIR=/opt/QtPalmtop
root@tosa:~# export QPEDIR=/opt/QtPalmtop
root@tosa:~# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OPIEDIR/lib
root@tosa:~# export PATH=$PATH:$OPIEDIR/bin
root@tosa:~# /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/q
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qcop /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qeserver /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/quickexec
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpdf /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/quicklauncher
root@tosa:~# /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe -terminal 2
qt_init() - starting in daemon mode...
root@tosa:~# ps ax | grep qpe
5575 root 456 S grep qpe
root@tosa:~#
The mystery deepens. New shell, new window. If I set OPIEDIR=/opt/QtPalmtop in the shell, qpe won't start. If I set it to nothing (clear the variable) it starts but not correctly:
root@tosa:~#
root@tosa:~# export OPIEDIR=
root@tosa:~# /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe -terminal 2
qt_init() - starting in daemon mode...
root@tosa:~# ps ax | grep qpe
5636 root 5156 S /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe -terminal 2
5642 root 456 S grep qpe
root@tosa:~# kill -9 5636
root@tosa:~# ps ax | grep qpe
5644 root 456 S grep qpe
root@tosa:~# export OPIEDIR=/opt/QtPalmtop
root@tosa:~# /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe -terminal 2
qt_init() - starting in daemon mode...
root@tosa:~# ps ax | grep qpe
5651 root 456 S grep qpe
root@tosa:~#
(blink, blink)
My flummoxing knows no bounds. But the mystery gets better, from my point of view...
I have an SD card. If I set OPIEDIR=/mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop, QPE actually STARTS, but here's something interesting, only the apps installed to sd actually show up in the menus. HOWEVER, if the hotkeys are set to launch applications, they will launch them even if they are installed on the main device.
ALSO, the O-menu is still empty and my style settings are lost.
So it sounds like some part of the root-side opie configuration is farkled. But how can I figure out which part?
(I know, I should probably just reflash at this point, but now my curiosity is piqued, and I really don't want to go through the trouble of reflashing if I can avoid it).

Thanks! Didn't know about the -nodaemon switch. Progress! I think in my case it's the Kopi alarm applet maybe...
root@tosa:~# export OPIEDIR=/opt/QtPalmtop

qt_init() - terminal specification is '2'.
qt_init() - active vt is #1, switching to #2 as requested...

Aha, so it was the kopi-applet program. Curse it! Somehow it must have been corrupted during an ipkg operation where I ran out of space; that explains much, I think. I ipkg-removed it and Opie starts again.
Hurrah! Thanks for the -nodaemon hint; once I got log information, the rest was pretty easy.

Yeah, that helped. I had the line "Adding SMTP account" and then segmentation fault, so I figured it was the mailapplet. And, behold, as I removed it, everything went back to normal Thanks !!!
