Title: OZ 3.3.5 can't exit opie
Post by: donk0yote on July 29, 2004, 10:32:53 pm

hey,
i can't seem to drop to the console in 3.3.5 on my 5500
if i use the shutdown app and select stop opie i get a kinda xdm login screen, then if i select "quit"
i get "login:" in a black bar on the left side of the sceen, at this point any typing does not echo on the
screen
is it broke or am i just doing something wrong? it used to work in 3.3.2..........
my /home, /root, and /opt directories are on SD...........

It's not broken that's just the way it is.

Try a search of the forum/mailing list as I asked the same question a long while back.

The quick answer was to stop the login app being run (renaming file in /etc/rc?.d) but I can't remember the specifics.

I use "/etc/init.d/opie stop".  The only problem is "/etc/init.d/opie start" just hangs the system up.  Until I find a better approach I use "reboot" to get back into Opie.
