L5 Hangs at I-cancel-msg:Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesyste

Hardware Librem 5
1
  1. Unplugged L5 from charger
  2. Pressed top right button
  3. Logged in first login screen
  4. Logged in on 2nd login screen
  5. Msg said there was a chat received.
  6. Pressed the msg option (go to text msg. received).
  7. This where it hung before any msg opened
  8. Swiped down for notification screen and Power was grayed out.
  9. Swiped up and 2nd power off was grayed as well out.
  10. Help top right button in until shutdown.
  11. Removed battery. Waited a minute. Returned battery.
  12. Tapped top right button
  13. First login opened and I entered the password numbers.
  14. 2nd screen opened and hangs there.

Can repeat.
Note there is a long line that ends in "successfullyed " L5 typo, not mine.

Is the fix another reinstall?

TIA

Nope.

As I explained, I get to a line that tells me to press Ctrl+C It’s so ridiculous I actually thought it was a joke every time I turned the phone on.

I also pointed to both Power Off are grayed out. Or, in other words, not allowed to be used.

Having such a silly partly visible line telling one to do the impossible is indicative of the L5’s reliability.

Since it is impossible to press any keys at all, let alone 2, that the L5 is now a brick?

Hint: I don’t think many users give a darn what it’s for, they like me, just want to get past all the sillies - not what the partial sentence is doing, or supposed to be doing.

I wonder though, how many people see that and try to find some keys to press.

Try toggling all of the hardware kill switches downwards first, turning on the Librem 5 in that configuration, then inputting your passwords afterwards.

I don‘t know if at this stage of boot an external USB connected keyboard is already recogniced. Just give it a try.

@guru There is nothing else connected. A fuse would take care of matters though. :crazy_face: I do have a few wireless keyboards and mice but never had this issue before and only 2 keyboards have their batteries out.

@FranklyFlawless
Do you have a µSD card in the Librem 5?[/quote]

I think so,

L5 disks revised

UPDATE: After about 10 minutes it bypassed the 2nd login without my input. Maybe it was the poltergeist. What eve, it happens too often where I pick up the phone and it’s hung up.
