Re: Upgrading on Qtopia

I guess this is the same problem as reported for the other dists. Is there a workaround (I updated using the script) other than reflashing and losing all my settings? and downloads etc. Is the workaround the same as for the other dists (either load the kernel with all drivers, or upgrade everything).

Is it safe to update the kernel to the latest version? or does the kernel need to match the qtopia image?

I noticed that too. the packages/opkg/something seems to be borked, but has nothing to do with qtopia -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, Trolltech, a Nokia company ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

This new one _should_ be able to upgrade the system.

Upgrading on Qtopia
Hey all, I've read that opkg can't upgrade qtopia, but it should be able to upgrade my kernel, correct? Well, when I do opkg update, opkg upgrade my phone will spend about 20-30 minutes updating everything (from the latest qtopia image on trolltech's website) and I need a lot of those packages (such as libc++6) for running other scripts on qtopia. Anyways, after upgrading, I restart my phone and it freezes on the blank black screen with a cursor in the upper left corner. The phone won't ever boot! So I have to reflash the lastest image I just tried to upgrade. I've attempted this twice, and I can't upgrade my phone! ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
