Nubs not working!

[Alperoot]

The title says everything. What happened? I wasn't using my Pandora for five days and when I tried to turn it on, it didn't. After taking off the battery and putting it back on, it did finally powered up. But this time, I had a terminal screen. (User login & password) I tried startx but nothing happened. Restarting did not help. I tried booting it with the older kernel, and the login screen appeared. This somehow fixed the bug and I could use the Pandora regardless of what kernel I use. I powered it on yesterday again and... nubs stopped working. Do not get me wrong, they work correctly, but not as a mouse.

Is it any other ways to make it work again without having a full reflash?

Did the nubs maybe get stuck in joystick mode? Try launching the nub configurator and switching between joystick/mouse/mouse-button modes.

 

[Alperoot]

Thank you! Did not switched to it, I wonder what triggered it.

Could be game that did this and crashed afterwards.

That should get sorted with a reboot though. No idea why you needed to boot with an older kernel to get X working again though - an update that went wrong perhaps?

I'd doubtful when you say it now boots 'regardless of what kernel [you] use'. The Pandora rootfs doesn't ship with a majority of modules available for older kernels, so things like mounting PNDs tends to fail on one or the other.

Nope. The Pandora saves the nubs settings on shutdown. So if a game changes them to joystick and you restart, it saves the joystick configuration and loads them on startup.

Aren't there two options for the kernel? I was able to boot into X with the older kernel but somehow booting into the older kernel fixed the problem. I often get crashes - that's probably the thing which is messing with my system. I never had any problems during system updates, though.

Oh, you mean the old 2.x option that's in uboot. Sorry, forgot about that - not seen the uboot menu since I broke the LCD connector on my Pandora. Not sure why that's still there to be honest; I've never tried it, so don't know what it does. I assumed you'd modified the kernel parameter on the boot options - but then why would you have two 3.x kernels? Sorry, I hadn't thought that through at all well!

Ah, I cannot express myself Two options. One for 3.x and another for the old one.
