In gslapt, click View>Upgradable,
or
click Mark All Upgrades, then click View>Marked
You can then mark or un-mark items as you see fit. Does that accomplish what you wish? I gave up on the FatdogUpdater some while back, since it is not integrated with gslapt. If it works better in the future, it will be very handy.
@step
Thanks for the wpa-supplicant update!
For the developers, since many or most of the packages for 700 will work for 710, would it be appropriate to include the 700 repositories in the 710 source list by default? Would it be good also to include Smokey01's repository? Are there any others out there which would be nice to know about? Alternately, could packages be copied (with permission) from these repositories, or the sites cited in the contrib thread, into the current contributed repository?
If I hadn't gone looking for more, I wouldn't have found a number of useful programs. A new user could easily think that Fatdog64 is not as "fat" as it in reality is, as a couple of recent reviews have wrongly claimed. Furthermore, packages which are not in the repositories, such as some listed in the contrib thread, don't integrate with gslapt, and so cannot be removed from the system or updated so efficiently. Perhaps this could be considered for a future release...
Thanks!
@dr. Dan: Darn it, while do i always forget to click "view" and instead expect the updates to popup individually, grrrr @ myself Thanks dr. Dan.
@all--regarding step's "wpa-supplicant" update----is anyone seeing this "after" updating? After applying Step's update, I've nearly completely lost my wifi in the 'frugal' install of Fatdog64-710 laptop everyone uses in the house. This is the message that appears in terminal:
Code: Select all
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RFKILL
Yes, it's an older Intel laptop
I opened a terminal and typed in:
Code: Select all
rfkill unblock wifi
Code: Select all
rfkill unblock all
Code: Select all
rfkill list
So, I had to rollback to the full backup I keep of the 'frugal' Fatdog64-710, to how it was before I updated with Step's 'wpa-supplicant', and now, things are fine again and the laptop's wifi is strong & stable as a rock.
If I can't figure out why and/or how to fix this in the next few days, then I'm going to be forced to remove Fatdog64 completely, as I've 'wpa-supplicant' patched every other OS in the house for the family. It is just Fatdog64-710 and that damn Intel laptop. Will post if I can get it figured out today and/or tomorrow.
