Exiting Opie Using Keys/buttons Only
« on: October 29, 2005, 08:33:28 pm »
Hi,

I have this friend who accidently sent a -9 signal to qpe and the screen froze.  Now he would like to restart opie, without doing a hard reset, because he has a card he would like to sync before doing that.

Do you have any advice on how to achieve the same effect as going to the terminal from opie by using only keystrokes or buttons?  (I tried calendar+left and calendar+right to no avail)  or does my friend just have to tap the reset button in the battery area?

Well.  I turned off the Z and went to bed.  When I woke up in the morning I turned it on and it was booting up again, and the filsystem checked out ok.

Still, I know how to get back into opie from the terminal, but is there a key combo to get out to the terminal, or does this not exist?
