I was going to take it, but first I wanted to see if I could fix the problem by connecting the external USB keyboard I finally got a USB A - mini USB A (5 pin) adapter for. I was disappointed that the keyboard didn't seem to get power nor did it get recognized (Fn keys didn't work), so, not seeing a better way, I did a power cycle to reboot and waited through the fsck. After this the keyboard still didn't work, but then I reconnected the USB to the host I was able to shell in using a blank password. So the password was reset from non-blank to blank after a (second) hard reboot. I haven't researched the keyboard problem - I assume I need a powered hub, but I'll read. No need to address that here.

Debian root password
2008/9/2 Chris Jenks [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't researched the keyboard problem - I assume I need a powered hub, but I'll read. No need to address that here. By the default, the Neo is in device mode. You have to put it into host mode and give power to the usb port.

Any suggestions? ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support I had similar issues yesterday ( i think it was after i had pushed the power button to suspend and resume). As I couldn't shutdown cleanly I forced the power off, which broke the install, so I had to reinstall debian. No practical help, but at least you aren't the only one with the same problem :-) ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
