Re: [maemo-users] help - attempted N770 python upgrade -- system keeps rebooting
Hi Jeff, I think the best thing to do is to flash again your device. Then install python2.5-runtime package, that will install all modules necessary to run python2.5 properly. Just pay attention to include the correct repositories (repository.maemo.org/extras and repository.maemo.org).

There are two ways to fix this situation: 1. Reflash the OS, restore data from backups, reinstall applications (and take care not to upgrade maemo-launcher again). 2. Enable RD mode and disable lifeguard reset (with the flasher app), boot, ssh into it and finish the interrupted upgrade. Disable RD mode and see if it works. If it doesn't, use alternative 1. In my humble opinion, maemo-launcher's preinst/postinst scripts should never stop it. That's what, for example, gdm scripts do on desktop Linux systems: if they find a running X server, the scripts do not restart gdm.

Frantisek, has this procedure been verified to work on the N800 as well? If so then the text header in the Wiki entry should probably be corrected to include the N800 as well.

There is only some problem with keys not working in menu sometimes. Workaround is to not to touch keys early on boot. If so then the text header in the Wiki entry should probably be corrected to include the N800 as well. Fixed.
