Gemini PDA - Android / Android not booting now

« on: June 18, 2018, 05:18:24 pm »

I have setup a dual boot android/linux according to DebianTP https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps/wiki/DebianTP

Today I restart and its not booting into android, just stuck on the planet load screen with the penguin.

I can boot into linux mode, and after I login to the desktop I am presented with a dialog:

Authentication required to mount DF4064(/dev/mmcblk0p27)

up till today it was telling me it wanted to boot into android if I didn't hold the side button down a bit longer

any ideas?

Gemini PDA - Linux / sleep on close not working

You can download the kernel in the instructions, save it , rename with the same name in the full download folder (i.e linux_boot ). Make a backup of the older file and overwrite it with new file. ( linux_boot )
And flash only this file ( linux_boot ). Make sure in the flashtool to use the same scatter file you used before and mark only this file ( linux_boot ) . Also use only the download button option ( not firmware upgrade.)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I installed the new firmware, and also checked the MD5 as per the instructions, everything else works

It seems to be almost working for me except I get an error when I open my devices (after the globe lock screen):

an error occurred starting screensaver. Action 'activate' failed. Ensure you have xscreensaver installed and running.

I did install xscreensaver but it didn't work too well and button didn't speak, after I removed xscreensaver, it almost works except with this error.

if I run 'css-lock gemian-lock' from the command line it says 'Failed to set screensaver attributes; is another one running?'

any ideas how to fix this?
