OK

1,000 downloads

Seems like a pretty good number...

EDIT: Holy Jumps! Almost 1,100 a mere 12 hrs later...

I've been working on a BT keyboard setup, and have found a cron job using a time that looks like it might work:

Code: Select all

@reboot etc.

I'm wondering now if that might solve our slow (20-30 secs) time update problems, but still have to figure out what the command would be since "man ntp" returns nothing.

EDIT: Looks like "ntpdate" might be it, but that requires naming the servers...need to dig some more

EDIT2: Arch Wiki says "ntpdate.service" -- time to experiment!

I ran and update today which updated a lot packages.
I rebooted and my new user wouldn't work. I would type in the password and then just end up back at the login screen.
I then logged into the pi user.
Tried to delete the new user and it wouldn't let me do that either.
So I created another user.
After logging in as that user firefox and palemoon would not launch. Came up with some preference or file error.
So I am back in as the pi user.

Did you reboot?

I think I just logged out and logged back in.
I have now rebooted.
I think my deletion of the first user must have done something to that user.
Now when I log into that user it logs in but is at a gray debian wallpaper with only fluxbox running.
The second user still can't launch palemoon.
Error screen says:
Your palemoon profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

No idea what you've done, sorry. The upgrades had no problems for me. Do you have outside repos enabled?

#98 Post by **MAYBL8** » Sat Feb 06, 2021 1:12 pm

No outside repos
Just upgraded from the patch and then the normal upgrade.
I will reinstall and try again and see what happens.
Do I still use the patched B1 to get the B2 or is there any new downloads?

Same procedure, start with original and apply patch

I think I found my problem and now I just need to figure out how to fix it.
I found out that root is the owner of my new users .cache folder and it won't let my user create files or folders there.
