804183 - PandaBoard: Home screen not shown

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 791039

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

On the PandaBoard, the home screen is not shown. The system boots and shows the black start-up screen with the 'mozilla' logo at the bottom. B2G is running and seems to work normally.

Fixing this problem is necessary for automatic testing.

Attachment: Adjust coreApps directory to point to /data/local

Fabrice, do you see any chance that this change has an impact on platforms besides the PandaBoard? I verified that the patch doesn't break my Otoro phone, but I wonder why the problem only happens on the panda.

--- commit message ---

B2G's core applications are installed in /data/local/. Its DirectoryProvider
pointed to /system/b2g/. At least on the PandaBoard, this prevents the system
from finding any installed applications and loading the home screen.

This patch changes the DirectoryProvider to search for core applications
in /data/local/.

We can't do that, but you're probably hitting a bug that is fixed in bug 791039.
