A quite serious problem

[NESnero]

Bottom line. I cannot run any applications. This happened after I installed Hotfix 6 in PND form. I tried to run things from my SD card from the start menu, I click on them, nothing happens they dont start. A few programs start, GNOME mplayer works, as well as Chromium but all mmy other applications dont (Quake 3, mupen, comix, Homeworld, Abiword) I click them, nothing happens, I tried putting fresh PND's into the folders still doesnt work, then I switched all the files to a different SD card, still doesnt work.


Nothing, runs! FFFFFFF-


Edit: Just found various problems like this on the Hotfix 6 thread, will look there!

Had the same problem with the update PND, did the full flash and everything was fine.

Full flash time.

I would prefer a fixed PND Firmware Updater instead of a forced reflash. ^^""

@NESnero, after trying to run an application and it fails, try looking in /tmp on your filesystem for some pndout_abiword (or whatever PND you tried) files, as those may have error messages that help explain the problem.

Whats the issue with a re-flash? only takes 5 minutes and you get the pleasure of configuring your settings again to your specifications. Most people seem to dislike this. I however quite enjoy this, guess am a bit odd

Well, it takes ages to set up the Pandora again in the state I have it now. I have custom skins and Desktop Themes on Nand, many programs use the NAND (sadly) and so on. "Never change a running system" and Complete reflash changes alot...and it is not user friendly of course.

Twice now when I've flashed I've had this sort of problem.


It comes from overwriting the .Xauthority file when I restored my home directory and buggering up the magic cookie so new GUI apps would not start.


Just logout and back in.
