Well, as I said before, it may happen that an opkg upgrade will break
things. We can't, at this point of our development, plan an update
path for every little update. This is time consuming, and, even more
disturbing, we don't have enough devices to test that anyway :-)

  

In fact there was an hidden question :)
Do you recommend currently to flash or to opkg upgrade to avoid breakage?

I do understand that things may break. No problem. Just trying to reduce 
the odds ;)

Not knowing which revision you're using, at which state and such, I'd
recommend to reflash.

  

That's what i did a few hours ago :)
What about next updates? If new packages are available, do you recommend 
to flash or upgrade?

I recommend to update/upgrade, and reflash if you witness anormal behavior.
Though when you're supposed to reflash, I usually say so on the ML,
and I'll say so on the SHR blog from now on.

 Hi everyone.
  
 I ran opkg update  opkg upgrade this morning. I saw a new kernel was
 installed, so i rebooted the phone.
 After reboot, windows sees the usb device, but no link..
 I'm currently not at home, so i only have access to a windows computer.
 Anything i could do to try to get back access to my FR?
 Anyone else has the same issue?

Yep, had the same issue. I noticed that networking wasn't started at
boot anymore after an okpg upgrade. Try to open the terminal on the FR
and do ifup usb0 to bring up USB networking manually.

I think the reason for this issue is a change in the initscripts. I
fixed it by forcing an install of the package initscripts-shr as a
replacement for initscripts (opkg hadn't done that automatically,
because the difference in versioning made it look like a downgrade).

HTH,
Thomas

Well, unfortunately, guys, we generate images at an insane rate these
days to test our (in fact MrMoku's) patches for fastboot and such. We
also changed a bunch of revisions, and some package naming
conventions, which were, sufficed to say, ugly.

That's why these days, opkg update'ing wasn't a good solution :-).

I'd suggest to reflash if this kind of problem surfaces again. Don't
worry, though, as soon as our unstable image building process will be
fine, we won't apply this stuff directly on testing.

yes, i had that problem;
just type in a terminal app on your FR: ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.202
Ainulindale also said he fixed it and will generate a new image, but
currently projects.openmoko.org seems to be down

Well, so far i haven't seen any other issue excepted the network not auto
starting (btw, thanks Yorick  Thomas).
At first i thought it was related to the use of windows, cause i already had
a few issues in the past (Reboot with android image or OM-testing+2.6.28
kernel).

Julien, please let us now when your images are more stable.. SHR is my
current favorite distro :)

Please know that I test images on a daily basis, and that I can't
prevent users from downloading borked images in the time between which
I generate them then download them (I mostly download them when I'm
not at home, so I can't generate them on my home computer), so it may
result in an unstable image. If you see an image timestamped from 2
minutes ago, it's usually not a good idea to download it.

If an image isn't working properly, I'm used to delete it afterwards.

But just so you know, I personally have no issue with a recent
reflash, both on windows and linux. So it's either coincidental, or
resulting in an unsupported upgrade, or systematic and I'd like to see
logs :-)
