I know I've already responded to this, but I find it rather amazing that there is no 'patchmanager' folder in /var/lib/* despite patchmanager3 being installed and roughly working - any ideas @coderus?

As you already said; "try uninstall pm3, remove /var/lib/patchmanager, reboot, blah, blah" - I have done this a number of times, still there is no patchmanager folder in /var/lib/* and still my problem with patches not always appearing in PM3's list still exists....?

I'd love to get this fixed so I can come back and continue with my slow progress of learning about SailfishOS, otherwise, it is like walking through 3ft of wet, sticky mud

pm3 not using /var/lib/patchmanager folder, it create cache in /tmp
after uninstalling patchmanager you can remove only config from /etc/patchmanager2.conf and /usr/share/patchmanager/patches.
after reboot you should have clear system with no indication of patches

Thanks for responding so quickly. I will give it a go and let you know the outcome.

Okay, pm3 seems more responsive and is largely doing its tasks. Only once I had to select "Unapply patches" to get a particular patch to show, but so far so good.

On a different note, a minor spelling error in PM3 as highlighted;

Quick question for anyone, (sorry if it's addressed in here somewhere - I don't even really know enough to know what to search for). I always have 'Start as root for... (Filecase, File Browser, Cargo Dock, etc.)' apps by Schturman installed, and I particularly lean heavily on the Filecase root app, which has the best clipboard and multi-select usability, plus an excellent search function. I regularly have to deal with a situation that goes like this: I usually install the 'app' version of 'Start as Root', instead of the 'patch' version, (I think there's both options for all of them), because I have experienced occasional stability issues with patches. But, for some reason, it seems like my app automatically gets replaced with the patch, and stops working. So, I'll install 'Start as Root for Filecase' app, and it installs and works fine, then at some point down the road, after a reboot, my 'Filecase Root' icon is gone, and when I go to Storeman, it shows the app as 'Not Installed' and the patch as 'Installed', but then I go to Patchmanager, and the patch is installed, but when I try to apply it, I get 'Failed to Apply Patch' error. The only solution is to uninstall the patch, then install the app, and then it works again. Not too big of a headache, but is there any way to prevent it?

Thanks - So, (as you said, it's not a Patchmanager issue, so I don't want to go off-topic here; maybe you can put up with one more question), is there something Schturman could change in his repo to make it actually an option, or would it really be better if he just removed the old one?

coderus | # 2658 | 2019-02-03, 20:48 | Report

My best suggestion - ask Schturman

done... Thanks
