The latest big update deletes some configuration files

quake-term, terminator, some contextual cvs (conky). Nor does it show updates on the conky sysinfo_mbcolors.conkyrc (checkupdates.sh).
Some help?
:people_hugging: :argentina:

Strange :thinking:
Updates never touch/replace files in user’s home directory…

I did this. It was not working for me too…
Maybe not most charming…

${alignr}${color}Updates: ${color0}  ${execpi 1800 checkupdates -c | wc -l}${font}${color2}

EDIT:

Sorry for the interuption: For me it is working again.

${alignr}${color}${execpi 1800 checkupdates.sh -s}${font}${color}

I changed 1800 to 800. It worked. And put it back to 1800 to test again, and still working.

What do you see when running in terminal.

checkupdates.sh -s

:bird:

But that’s what happened, I didn’t touch anything.

checkupdates.sh -s
/usr/bin/checkupdates.sh: lĆ­nea 66: /tmp/: Es un directorio (is a directory)

I recovered those files from my backups, but that shouldn’t be the case…
Anyway, I’m still happy with Mabox.

Another question:
Is there a way to list recent files in Places?

checkupdates.sh script is not intended to be called from command line.
It is called by some Conkies.

It makes sense now :joy:

Because with this:

May return empty (no value at all) and then this other line:

imagen

Becomes /tmp/ with no file.

$ checkupdates.sh -s
${font}${color}${alignr} System is up to date

For me, the output was not shown in the conky. So i tested it from cli.
After a view times running the command in the terminal it showed the output.
A bit random behaviour at time…

For me, output updates seems fine now.

In my Conky has stopped working. The software and repository update options do work (in conky), but it doesn’t notify you if there are any updates or how many there are.

Is another topic. :wink:

Check this file:

cat  ~/.config/colorizer/conky/conky.cfg

should look like:

update_notifications=true

Don’t ask me about this file location…I’m surprised myself :thinking:

Okay. It was on false (I didn’t change it). Now I put it in true.

Thank you. :ok_hand:

You probably changed it mistakenly by clicking the wrong button in ā€œnotificationā€.
It happened to me too :slight_smile:

hijacking topic…

Talking about the csv.

I thought this was fun to add. To have a quick view of all new package waiting to be updated. Really not needed.

sysinfo.csv

Quick view update list,notify-send -i mbcc "══ Packages for updating ══" "$(checkupdates-with-aur)"

:bird:

See how this ā€œLeft click on default Conkyā€ menu looks by default (currently)

I think yay (cli) lists also AUR updates by default.

What is checkupdates-with-aur? Some custom script?

The mysteries of computing…
:rofl:

Hahah that absolutly true. Just because of the way it looks with notify–send. But as i sayd really not needed.

I am gonna change that checkupdates. Its an older test case.

It’s a lonely file. Looks like it suits location mabox.conf.

:bird:

Yup. No idea why i put it somewhere else years ago :wink:
