my freerunner has now collected a number of weirdnesses (shr_elm_softkey has to be restarted manually; screenlock keeps on being unlockable; settings icon is missing; terminal never gets keyboard focus; illume wants reconfiguring on every reboot). i've tried the fixes advertised for many of these, but most don't work, i assume because of legacy issues or cross-interactions.
Workaround for the terminal focus problem: switch between the apps. When you get back to the terminal, it has focus. Silly but works for me.
so i want to reimage my freerunner from the latest rootfs and kernel images, and then retry the fixes.
You can try, but I am not sure it will help. Linux systems don't tend to deteriorate with time, so a "fresh install" tend to be no better than something old. And vice-versa. (Unlike windows, I have heard that it somehow "goes bad" with time - which seems strange to me.) Deterioration in shr-unstable comes because the developers upload new versions that sometimes are quite buggy. This is not to be mean, it is a valid development model. Users of shr-U are effectively the software testing team. If you don't want that, reinstall shr-testing (or stable) instead. Another way is to install an older image, from a time where the bugs you describe didn't exist. Of course, you get the bugs for those days instead. :-/ Helge Hafting _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
