MX 19.4 xfce 64bit - can't update flatpaks using MX package installer

[madmax25]

Yes, according to the update history, it is the new version, it is only the About screen.

I just checked it once more on both my desktop computer and my notebook.
Both have the new version in the update history and Synaptic.
Only the About screen has the wrong number.
I'm not sure why Synaptic on my noteook showed the wrong number yesterday evening.

the policy command gave me this output:

Code: Select all

apt policy mx-packageinstaller
mx-packageinstaller:
  Installed:           23.11.06

Yep that is correct. The internal version number has been corrected for next update but there should be not change in function.

[madmax25]

Yes, I confirm that.
The preselected "n" is gone, so it is working.
It is only... well, let's say, a "cosmetical" issue.

Will there be an update where the About screen is fixed, too, in the near future?

Btw. sorry, I forgot to translate the terminal output, but I just fixed it.

my about says i am not the sharpest tool in the shed. i do not worry about it.

:-)))

I just wanted to use guiscrcpy to connect my Android to MX 19.4 xfce 64 bit, and again. I cannot open the display of my phone within guiscrcpy.
Usually I enter the PIN on my PC's keyboard and the display of the phone is opening but now, it remains black.

the phone got a FW updfate this evening, and so i thought, let's see if there's an update for guiscrcpy, too, but since I use the flatpak version of that tool, I found (again!) I cannot access the flatpak tab of mx-packageinstaller.
ThenI tried to update the flatpaks using the terminal, but there, I also failed, because I got the following output:

Code: Select all

flatpak update

Do you want to install it? [Y/n]: 

Obviously, there' s an issue with the mx-packageinstaller again, because that's the only thing that changed since guiscrcpy was working properly the last time.

Again, I wonder, why is it not supported anymore, when MX 19.4 is still supported until april 2024?
And what can I do now to fix this, please?

[dolphin_oracle]

flatpaks are outside our control. if the runtimes are EOL, there isn't anything we can do about it.

[madmax25]

in the terminal I tried to just hit enter according to the question at the end of the above output, so it seems, at least I managed to do these updates using the terminal, but well ... your post sounds like time has defiinitely come for me to upgrade to MX 23.1. I've been thinking, I could get a little closer to the EOL of MX 19.4, but doesn't look like that, does it?!


Merry Xmas everybody!
