Sailfish 3 stuck on loading screen (black with teal spinning circle) after enabling pincode lock on gemini PDA
asked 2019-02-04 18:18:53 +0200
I am using Sailfish community edition on a trippleboot Gemini PDA,
Both with Sailfish 2.1; 2.2; and now 3.0.1.11 I have been met with the spinning wheel after booting up. I used to be able to dismiss this and enter my homescreen by swiping from right or left.
Recently I setup a couple of personal logins on sailfish, and decided that I would like to enable the lock screen.
Now however I cant get away from the spinning wheel screen.
the only things I observed to be possible for me are the following:
*Rotate the screen: Background image appears as the screen rotates, then goes back to spinning loading screen.
*Pull down top menu with what options are available there. (I disabled to swipe into the camera)
*Finally I can still to ssh into the device from my laptop.
I am hoping that someone here will know a way I can use the terminal to deactivate the missing lock screen, and on the longer term point me in the direction to fix the login screen.
Best
Alternatively, can someone guide me through the keystrokes needed to login with a hardware keyboard? I am suspecting it may work although I dont see whats going on behind the loading screen.
I get vibration feedback when swiping to the side typing a number and then hitting enter, so maybe the login screen is there but just not visualized.
I am typing my pin-code to login, but I suppose the keystrokes are not registered towards login.
