Menu can't be used after update to v10.10 #239

I updates to v10.10 via setup helper. Now I can't get into the menu in the console. I only can switch the views and enter the device details but the menu is unreachable. How can I fix this? Is there a chance to downgrade from cli via ssh?

Which menu are you talking about?

If it is the PackageManager menus you can't access then that's an issue with SetupHelper not GuiMods. If so, do the menu titles say "PackageManager not running"? This indicates that the PackageManager service is crashing.

Of course the first thing to try is a reboot if you have not done so already.

If you can access the GX device via ssh, you can uninstall the offending package from the command line, eg:

/data/GuiMods/setup uninstall

There is a blind uninstall procedure outlined in the SetupHelper ReadMe that will uninstall all packages.

You can try reinstalling the firmware: switch to the backup firmware then update to the current version via Online update (not by swapping back to the original versions in the backed up firmware menu.

You can also examine the logs to see if any are reporting errors. The following are the most relevant to your issue

tail -50 /data/log/SetupHelper | tai64nlocal tail -50 /data/log/PackageManager/current | tai64nlocal tail -50 /data/log/gui/current | tai64nlocal

I meant the menu on the remote console on lan, where the device list is and all the settings are done. After another reboot and some time I was able to access it again.

I think this was a problem with the update of the guimods via the package manager. Usually it asks to restart the gui after updates, but this time it did not.

I updated to 10.11 some minutes ago. This time everything worked as expected.

Don't know what went wrong. I think you can close this issue.

Thanks a lot
