Rockbox refuses two open second time
« on: March 21, 2007, 07:25:35 PM »
I just installed Rockbox (as of a few hours ago!) and it worked. I was really happy as I had been trying to get a new OS on my iPod for days (iPod linux is cool but a pain in the ass to install on nanos) and finally I got Rockbox to work. And then, after only booting it once, Rockbox refuses to re-open and all I see is the Apple logo. This really pissed me off, but I remained calm and simply uninstalled Rockbox using the "iPodpatcher" that I was told to use to install. Then I uninstalled the file that I had placed on my iPod. I then decided to give it another go and re-install the stuff again. The same thing happened and it didn't work! Again!!!!! Please help me I hate looking at the apple logo.

OK THIS FORUM SUCKS! Honestly, with the Ubuntu Linux forums my questions get answered in mere minutes. With this forum, I have waited over an hour with NO RESPONSE!

Firstly, 95% of the internet doesn't expect instant response in their forums.

NOBODY is paid to answer questions here, ever, which means that if you get answered it's because someone feels like it. If you're willing to subsidize some paid support, we can see about ensuring faster responses.

Secondly, your problem is not a normal problem, which means it's unlikely most of the people here can answer it. Until someone knows an answer, you're not going to be answered. I could've said "I don't know what's wrong with it" an hour ago within 30 seconds of you first posting it, when I read it, but that wouldn't do you any good, now would it. Instead I've been trying to think of an answer to your question, but don't yet have any idea what would cause this strange sort of behaviour.

If you provided more information, such as anything you did while running Rockbox that might help. Also, try pressing the Right button while the apple logo is displaying and see if it gives any debug output.

Different forums have different people and different problems on them. Just because you got your question answered for ubuntu in minutes  that doesn't  mean you will get a different question on a different forum answered in the same time.  Just because your question didn't get answered doesn't mean these forums suck.  These forums have millions of information on them and the wiki has twice as much info. It takes time to answer questions on here. you piss me off.
