Build-A-Pi Update menu
|
I updated my old version of Build-A-Pi and noticed that I do not have the Update selection to my Build-A-Pi menu.
Tried to reload Build-A-Pi but it states directory already exist. Also, it would be nice to have a selection to know what version from the Build-A-Pi menu. I have been running updates from the File Manager folder which is the only method available at this point. Vinny |

In a recent release of BAP, the update tool was moved in the menu. Look under ham radio->build a pi.
The current installed release of BAP is stated at the top of the dialog box when you run the update tool. Another way to find your current version is by running: grep version ~/pi-build/changelog | head -1 -- 73, de KM4ACK

Here is what is displayed: Conky still is blurred until refreshed on boot, version is 3.0.8 but there isn't an Update selection in Build-a Pi menu. This is after running the current update. See attached screenshot. KC2YRE Vinny On Mon, Sep 6, 2021 at 10:04 AM km4ack <jason.oleham@...> wrote: In a recent release of BAP, the update tool was moved in the menu.

Let's address the missing update menu item first. Haven't seen this happen before but should be an easy fix. Open a terminal window and run:
nano /usr/local/share/applications/build-a-pi.desktop Once the file opens, paste in the following lines: [Desktop Entry] Name=Update-Tool GenericName=Update-Tool Comment=Build-a-Pi App Manager Exec=/home/pi/pi-build/update Icon=/home/pi/pi-build/logo.png Terminal=true Type=Application Categories=bap press ctrl+s to save and ctrl+x to exit. The menu item should now be available. Use the BAP update tool and reinstall Conky. That should fix the blurry Conky issue. -- 73, de KM4ACK
