Hi all, the current xfce update for 15.5 is seriously broken. The update killed my panel config completely and replaced it with an ugly default.
Does not sound right, we don't intentionally change or install default configurations in the user directory. They were all minor bug fix updates
I did then downgrade but that did not help. The user config was altered. I was lucky to find a backup (from last year, but not much had changed fortunately since then. Today I retried the patch update, just in case, and it failed the same way.
zypper patch or zypper up?
IMHO something like this must not happen on a stable, enterprise-rated distro ;-)
Indeed, but before calling it broken we need a little more info of what went wrong. Have any logs or anything that could help narrow down which package may have caused this?
We should at least warn before the update (if that's possible with zypper) to create a backup of ~/.config/xfce (something I have done before retrying the update ;-)
The path is ~/.config/xfce4. Our configs do not wipe nor override user configs. You're sure is not a non xfce package wiping your configs? xfce4-panel-profiles allows you to save back up copies of your panel configs. Best, Maurizio
Have fun, seife
