I installed libopie ipk, closed ipk install, Z rebooted automatically, has been doing so ever since. I can\'t get past the screensaver. Just need to uninstall libopie and I\'ll be fine, I\'m sure, but how do I do this now? Thanks!

I doubt it\'s libopie that caused that problem. Did you install anything else besides, such as libqpe perhaps?

Anyway, when it comes up with the \'Wait 1.. 2.. 3..\' press the \'/?\' keyboard key. Then press \'a\' and login as root. From here you can use ipkg to remove the packages you installed (e.g. ipkg remove libopie).

After that you will need to repair your libraries using the following commands while still logged into the console:

cd /
tar xvf /root/.home_default home/QtPalmtop/lib home/root/usr/lib
exit

It should then reboot.

When I try to log in as root it asks me for my password, but won\'t take anything I enter. What now?

Then it asks me to log in to BusyBox and I get...

Message: Login incorrect
login[273]: invalid password for \'root\' on \'tty1\'

Your root password will either be nothing (so just enter return) or it will be the same as the PIN you entered in the security app.

I listed ipks and removed opie-batteryapplet_1, which enabled my z to boot normally so I could delete libopie1_1 using package manager. Thanks!
