LBRY won't upgrade. [solved]

[Mauser]

The .deb file from https://lbry.com/linux works when you install it which seems some of you might of missed what I posted earlier. But what it means when ever there is an update, you have to install the newer version and loose all your settings and favorite channels. Between the LBRY developers not checking their work and loosing all my settings and favorite channels is what got me mad and is why I had to wait to cool down so I could post without very colorful language. I was taught to check my work. I know the MX Linux developers check their work. Why can't the LBRY developers check their work?

It works ok (channels and so on). What you need is check an option in Settings: Sync your balance and preferences across devices.

And if you don't check an option when you log in (as you can see on my video 4 min 34 sec here: https://lbry.tv/@Dude:7/lbry-joule-desk ... lication:6) there is no channels and other private settings.

If you check it (6 min of video) - there will be private settings.

So, as usual, it is good to read manual

Many Electron apps, and LBRY is one, now require sandboxing, and that's not available in the standard Debian kernel that we use. You can either pass a flag to the program like "--no-sandbox", or use a kernel that does support sandboxings, such as Liquorix.

LBRY works fine on MX 18.3 .deb (0.38.2) and standard AppImage (0.39.0, now there is already update 0.39.1) on MX 19 - without additional flags.

There was/is an issue with new version on MX 18.3 (and some other distributions), but they prepared quickly workaround for this (special versions of files) (as I wrote above a few posts earlier).

LBRY people work and react fast, it's really impressive.

The LBRY app didn't work O.K. in my case. I had to re-install the newer version because the older version wouldn't upgrade. When I installed the .deb file installing the newer version that works fine but I lost all settings and channels I had followed. I had to adjust all my settings. What I really don't like about LBRY is after viewing the logs was very disturbing privacy wise and that the app needs to be re-installed in order to update it.
