[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Apt-got my way into a reboot loop??

[From: Jason Mills]

newp... I completed them on local (physical) console.

It's tough to reproduce again, since I can't easily re-brick my '770.

Sorry,

Also sprach Jason Mills (jmills at vmware.com):

Could anybody verify this procedure? I could not, but I don't know
exactly which watchdog timers you mentioned. (I used:
"--set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset,no-usb-timeout", but still any attempt
to "dpkg --configure maemo-launcher" makes the X unusable.

Did you do the repairing steps over ssh?


Cheers,
Michael
