Title: OZ336pre1+5600, boot to console?
Post by: zenken on August 02, 2004, 08:03:53 am

Is there some script i can edit somewhere to make my
5600 with OZ336pre1 boot to a login: prompt instead
of to Opie?

Or is there some reliable way of shutting down Opie and
getting a login: prompt?

So that I can upgrade my Opie to 114 ... I really want to
voice recorder app    

thanks,
ken

Rename /etc/init.d/opie or change the names of the /etc/rc?.d/S??Opie files?

To just come out of it you could try running '/etc/init.d/opie stop' from the terminal within opie, or use the shutdown app to quit opie?

renaming /etc/init.d/opie worked, thanks    

/etc/init.d/opie stop leads to login: prompt,
but keyboard doesn't work ... mostly frozen, some
keys produce characters on both press and release,
but wrong characters      

[Settings-Shutdown-TerminateOpie]   leads to GUI screen freeze, except
for tiny blinking square in bottom left    

now to work out how ipkg works !!

Opie inherited the shutdown problems from Qtopia. I'm slowly starting to improve things though. One of the coolest things I added is it now starts in the background like a real daemon and it runs on a dedicated terminal thus not rendering the current VT unusable.

There are still some bugs in the shutdown code which occasionally lead to a SIGSEGV which in turn prevents from important destructors being called... will fix that eventually.
