Notes and Assumptions
- You have at least skimmed WebOS Internals' Basic Linux Use page.
- You are downloading files to your default download directory, ~/Downloads, using your browser.
- "~" is Unix/Linux shorthand for the location of your home directory.
- "%" represents the command prompt in your terminal window.
- The commands you can cut and paste are in bold.
Requirements
- Computer running Ubuntu Linux or Mac OS X
- 'Developer Mode' enabled on your TouchPad (How To Enable Developer Mode)
- Install the appropriate versions of the Palm SDK-PDK (you will need this if you have to recover) and novacom on your computer (the novacom install is on the SDK-PDK install page).
- Install Save/Restore from Preware on your TouchPad and set it to back up your app data daily.
- Check that the Palm Backup app backups are "on" and that your data is being backed up to their servers daily.
How to Recover
- Download the stock Palm LunaSysMgr 3.0.5-3 to your computer. This is the same recovery package that you can install with Preware, but if something goes really wrong, you won't be able to run Preware.
- Open a terminal window (Linux) or Terminal.app (OS X).
- Using that window, go to your downloads directory and check the MD5sum (fingerprint) of the ipkg, which should match this string: 20501828cc5b29200a0a3feaf8535dd4
- for Linux type
% cd ~/Downloads
% md5sum org.webosports.palm-lunasysmgr_3.0.5-3_arm.ipk - for OS X type
% cd ~/Downloads
% md5 org.webosports.palm-lunasysmgr_3.0.5-3_arm.ipk
- for Linux type
- If the fingerprint strings do not match, something may have gone wrong. Delete the file you just downloaded and download another copy.
Installing a LunaSysMgr pre-alpha test binary
- Before you do anything else:
- Run a Save/Restore backup.
- Run a Palm Backup app backup.
- Connect your TouchPad to your computer, put it in USB mode, and copy the entire USB drive folder to your computer.
