Build-a-Pi V 3.0.8 doing update to null version Ends up with invalid desktop entry


 

I did an update to v.3.0.8 on top of a previous build this morning and BAP asked if I wanted to update from V3.0.8 to ""? No new version in the message, I siad OK and was left with an Invalid Desktop Entry for BAP.? For some reason BAP wanted to do an update but it didn't work and clobbered the previous entry.

My $HOME/pi-build folder is gone.? Got it back through a github.? Ran it again after restoring it and is working OK.? It did not ask to update BAP


 

Thanks for the report Dave. I'll see if I can reproduce it on my test box here.

It happened again.? Screen shot included.? Note the mispelled "lateest" word and note that I had no wifi connection at the time BAP ran.? It booted up that way and later picked up an IP address.? I think this is what will happen with a 10. address.? If so, a check to see if there is an Internet address (non 10.) would fix this


 

I connected a hard? Ethernet cable wire after this happened to get a screen shot.? ?I was using a USB keyboard and mouse and a HDMI monitor


 

It sounds like the lack of an internet connection is when this happened. Am I understanding that correctly?

Yes, exactly.? If BAP Update doesn't have a valid Internet connection it can't read the current version number and then defaults to trying an update which deletes the folder and stops there.? It needs to see if a valid version is returned and then proceed, not assume that nothing returned is a down level version.? If the latest version is Null? then say that there is no usable internet connection-try later.

Thanks


 

I thought I had that written into the but it sounds like I need to take another look. It should give you a warning that you aren't connected to the internet and exit. I'll dig into it and see what I can figure out.
