Bootloop after installing an ARM 32-bit program - Soul_Hacker - 01-23-2020
Hello fellow piners!
I have a problem and kind of a workaround for it already, i case any of you face the same problem.
My Case:
i wrongfully installed a vpn client which offers only "Rasbian 32-bit" Support.
(I like to try/break things on purpose)
They provide a full arm.deb package which i installed and and the client works.
But then on the next reboot i get in a bootloop, seeing only the "OPEN SESAME" splash and then it reboots again.
(If anyone can offer me a good explanation why that happens, it would be much appreciated)
WORK-AROUND:
I noticed if you let it loop for 3-5 times with a MicroSD in the Slot (mine had already the new image on it) it eventually goes to your normal LightDM login. then you can remove the package and everything works again!
Does the VPN Client use any hooks or modifies something trivial?
I tried it with the wlan privacy switch OFF and it didn't work.
For now i'll configure my VPN manually, but an explanation would be very helpful!
(Or a package from my VPN provider arm 64-bit)
Thanks for reading!
