Deleted /opt/alien/system/ - now my screen went dark [answered]
asked 2014-05-07 05:25:54 +0300
The system still boots after deleting /opt/alien/system/ in an attempt to copy over a non broken backup.
However I deleted said directory on device with filetug in root mode. Halfway through, my screen went blank and won't turn back on other than during booting. No indicator LED on.
I can SSH into my device and even fully deleted /opt/alien/system/ via WinSCP and put in my non-broken copy back in place.
Still stays dark after a reboot.
I also use patchmanager and made sure it's not related to that by deleting the QML directory with the patched files.
How can I recover from this or even find out what process isn't starting or being forced to shutdown?

What puzzles me is still how this could happen
I used FileTug started as root to delete said directory and in the middle of the process it went dark. How is that related?
Regards.
MoritzJT ( 2014-05-07 21:07:59 +0300 )editI had this issue two times already out of the middle of nowhere after a normal reboot. This seems to be some kind of bug with pandora/lipstick and patchmanager... And like you said, I still could ssh in even without the UI working. So by reinstalling the original lipstick-qt5 the interface came back. After that I could install pandora's lipstick again and after another reboot all my patches were back to normal. Btw. did you uninstalled android support (and all android apps) properly beforehand or did you just delete the android folder?
