SOFTWARE VERSION: 5.2008.43-7 STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: 1. Install MER (third partition of external card in my case, I am not sure it's important) 2. Boot MER. This is my bootmenu item: ITEM_NAME="Mer" ITEM_ID="mer on p3" ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p3" ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3" ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3" ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro" ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc" EXPECTED OUTCOME: I should be able to use screen keyboard or hardware keyboard. ACTUAL OUTCOME: I am not able to use hardware keyboard and I don't see screen keyboard. That's why I am stucked on a dialog asking me for a full name. REPRODUCIBILITY: Always for me EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: No OTHER COMMENTS: $ cat /proc/component_version product RX-44 hw-build 0801 nolo 1.1.16
Solution: Check /var/run directory on your MER partition. Directory must exists and be writable. If not, dbus and hal won't start.
I installed Mer 0.6 in the external card and both HW and SW keyboards works fine.
