Sandbox

This is my sandbox that I use when initially preparing new wiki pages, before release.

Blocking WebOS updates

I don't want the updates to happen at some unplanned (for me) time, so here is the way to block webOS updates:

cd /usr/bin
mount -o remount,rw /
chmod 664 UpdateDaemon
mount -o remount,ro /



Then, reboot (ORN+ shift +R)
To reverse the process use this;

chmod 775 UpdateDaemon



This makes it executable again as it was before, and then reboot (required.)
