I have the weather applet installed on my device and I am now getting the<br>white screen of death on bootup. I cannot remove it and apparently USB is<br>also broken as a result of this so I cannot ssh in and remove the package.
<br>Must I reflash or is there some way to get the applet off of there without<br>resorting to this?</blockquote><div><br><br>I ran into the exact same problem a few days ago. I added my comments in the "Reboot Cycle" thread
on this list and also added some comments on what I did to unravel this problem without reflashing on the ApplicationCatalogue2006WIP wiki.<br><br>The short of it is gweather doesn't *always* crash the desktop.<br>What I did to make it not crash the desktop is:
<br>- boot to white screen of death<br>- plug the charger into the 770<br>- using the power button and the menu option, "Switch off!"<br> - this actually puts it into a suspended state while the charger is in
<br>- press the power button to turn on the 770<br>- at this point the desktop did not fully crash for me (the Contacts button was missing) and I was able to deactivate the gweather applet and use the application manager to remove the package.
