Revision history [back]

I understand that cutespotify is still in development and has bugs, however I don't think it should be possible for a random application to mess up the OS in such a way that a recovery is needed. I suppose this could have happened with any other application as well.

As I was able to reproduce the problem here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Install cutespotify
2. Launch cutespotify and sigin using premium credentials
3. Make some large playlists available online (about 150 songs)
4. Wait for the playlists to be available online
5. Choose Settings in the pulley menu and choose Log out
6. In the cutespotify login screen, choose clear cache and offline files from the pulley menu, this should finish rather quickly
7. Choose clear cache and offline files again from the pulley menu, you'll get a message the app is not responding. Keep on waiting it will respond after a while.
8. When all is done, try to launch any application, it won't launch.
9. Restart the phone
10. What happens now is probably somewhat dependent on how long you waited before restarting the phone. The first time the phone booted and the interface was in landscape (which didn't align very well) and none of the applications (nor settings) could be opened. The second time the phone booted and the welcome screen appeared, after the welcome screen the same behaviour as the first time occurred. A launcher in landscape which didn't align well and none of the applications would open.

I had to reset to factory using the recovery mode of the phone.

This was using jolla Sailfish OS 1.0.3.8

Apps installed:

• All essential jolla apps except Android support
• File browser
• Warehouse (openrepos)
• Cutespotify 1.3.0-15 (openrepos)

Suggestion: It would be nice if the phone would make a btrfs snapshot once a while (without keeping all snapshots) to which could be recovered instead of factory reset.
