Cannot use Escape key in Linux
« on: May 30, 2018, 06:42:38 am »
Is it just me or has anyone else had the issue that the Escape key is always interpreted as the Power Off key within LXQt?

I have deleted my globalkeyshortcuts.conf several different times and have also updated my packages.

Can you check that you've updated the kernel?

I have Linux first booting, is there any way for me to do that without completely flashing over my Debian installation?

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.
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.)

Is there some reason you can't just mount the partition and copy the file? I have not dealt much with booting on ARM systems.

The other boot partitions are available (recover/linux_boot) and can be 'sudo dd' written to, unfortunately the current boot loader (this may change soon) has the main boot partition locked unless you've booted from recovery. This is probably a safety feature to stop some android malware splatting the kernel.
