Ok I upgraded Bash and it seems to be working fine so far, rebooted too. Warehouse reported an error during the upgrade though but it was probably just because the shell binary was missing. If I notice any issues with it I'll get back to you.

But it feels a bit better to run a newer Bash because the default one is very old.

hmm that was one reason I had to reflash - almost - the symlink to sh from bash was missing.
This, however, should be fixed in the version online.

otherwise
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

And this you're telling me now!!!

Nahh no problem the link is there, I could reboot so I'm happy. Sailfish is really growing on me day by day. Using the jphone as my primary (basically only) phone now so it wouldn't be so funny if it wouldn't boot, which it wouldn't if there was a problem with bash.

Probably safer way would be to name it bash4 and amend /etc/passwd for nemo to use /bin/bash4, this way if there is a component in Jolla that requires old bash it would keep using it (edit: hmm... then again all scripts would be using the old one unless it was symlinked... no idea what is the best practice :/)

host or dig would do too (but no package for this either...)

Just edit /usr/share/applications/htop.desktop
change Exec to this:

Code:

Exec=fingerterm -e htop

and put your own icon named htop.png to:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps

Could you guys help me on installing glib2 and glib2-devel >= 2.40.0?

I'm trying to compile something on the emulator, but the latest version I could find packaged glib2 and glib2-devel was 2.38.2 (from mer-core:devel), so I successfully built and installed glib 2.43.0 from here, but ./configure still says the installed version is 2.38.2...

Am I doing something wrong?
