System corrupted, then repaired
asked 2018-03-19 23:26:27 +0200
Very strange story: today, my device went unstable after I updated or installed some apps (see below). Symptoms: (i) screen rotation caused sometimes system reboot and/or lipstick restart, (ii) tapping on Sailfish-weather lockscreen widget to display 5-day forecast crashed lipstick, (iii) many web sites (not only well-known gazzetta.it & Co) crashed sailfish-browser.
Recently installed or updated apps were: Storeman, Prepatch, Applock, Mashka, YTplayer (fork).
What I did to fix the problem (after having reverted recent installs/updates) : (i) pkcon refresh + pkcon update, (ii) disabled all patches, (iii) reboot, (iv) version --dup, (v) reboot, (vi) re-enabled same patches as before, (vii) reboot => system now OK (without Prepatch, Applock, Mashka).
Please consider that I'm not accusing any of the apps above. I just want to describe an unexplained issue and its unexplained workaround. Not sure of which action above fixed the issue. Curious to learn if anyone else experienced something similar.
Did you launch Mashka and delete something with it?
mentaljam ( 2018-03-20 09:45:14 +0200 )edit@mentaljam Yes, but I think the explanation is a Prepatch/weather widget conflict. See here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=100243&page=4
