00:00.30MasterRathe screen backlight
00:00.46litagereally? that's staying on for you? hrmm odd..
00:01.12MasterRayeah.. i press and hold the reset, then press the power (the one at the top of the unit), then release the power, then release the rest, right?
00:02.33litageMasterRa: yes, but you only push the power button (next to the speaker) when you can see the bootloader image
00:03.25MasterRalitage: yep, that's what i'm doing.. then it fades out, but the light stays on.
00:04.04litageMasterRa: 'fraid i don't know what else to suggest. that works for me

00:05.06litageMasterRa: actually, what about holding the up key then pushing reset? i can't remember what that does, but it's specific to booting/the bootloader
00:05.54MasterRalitage: let me try
00:06.26MasterRahmm, no, doesn't seem to do anything..
00:07.15litageMasterRa: i'm all out of ideas then. sorry
00:07.39MasterRalitage: alright. thanks.. maybe someone else will wander by that has some idea.. in the mean time, i guess it'll go off when the battery dies.. :-/
00:08.35litageMasterRa: well, if it doesn't turn off when the battery dies, you know you've got an extra special ipaq  ;)
00:08.53MasterRalitage: heh, yeah, i'll let you know if it's still on a month from now ;)
00:09.58litageMasterRa: do you know how to run a plugin in opie?
00:11.36MasterRalitage: nope.. just started fiddling with opie today.. and everything was going good.. but i did some ipkg upgrades and installed some stuff, then left home for the night.. but never actually rebooted the machine.. then i went to reboot it a few minutes ago, and now it freezes when it's booting :-/
00:12.34litageMasterRa: yeah, same thing happened to me. i installed Familiar and opie yesterday afternoon. within 24 hours, Familiar died twice
00:13.02litagemostly due to ipks, i believe
00:13.09MasterRalitage: damn, that sucks.. yeah.. well.. actually.. hey i know what i'll do.. i got my cf sleeve and the card i used to install with.. i'll just reflash the base ipie install ;)
00:13.23MasterRalitage: yeah.. i didn't wanna have to reflash it though, cuz i manually upgraded ipkg..
00:13.54MasterRai couldn't get it to install a newer version than like 0.99.105 or something.. and it SIGSEGV'd everytime i tried to do something
00:14.29MasterRanot exactly the best arragement for a release.. but.. i manually unzipped 0.99.87 i think.. and it seemed to work fine.. installed a bunch of packages, some games.. everything looked great.. then.. well.. ;)
00:15.09litageif you grab one of pb's unstable images, it's 0.7.2 with some new stuff, plus a working ipkg:   http://handhelds.org/~pb/unstable/?M=D   bootopie-xxx.jffs2

01:24.04joshua_xsdg: taken a look over serial?
01:26.52xsdgjoshua_: not yet; sec
01:31.56xsdgjoshua_: seems that the battery was drained (or close, at least)
01:32.07xsdgjoshua_: which is weird, because when it locked, the frontlight was still on
