Garuda Rani - preview releases and testing

What about missing linux kernel headers? Is this possible?

To those running the -git version, do you feel the application is stable enough to replace the current stable (non -git) version? If you’re not running it, feel free to give it a shot and five feedback too!

Using only the stable version since beginning. I haven’t tried everything down to the last detail, but it works like a charm.

Generally a great piece of work and in my opinion a real killer tool.
Many thanks to all who work on it :+1: :+1: :+1:

Both versions run stably here, as far as I’ve tested them.

The only noticeable difference is that in the git version, I don’t have to double-click the top window frame to display the resolution correctly.

So i can say that both are fine. The git Version is a tick faster and the other differences is with the password Session safe isnt exist but its not important for me as i have to type also the pw in terminals :wink:

Running git-version here and its fast and stable. Very nice umbrella of tools! :star_struck:
Wonder if it’s overkill to add a add-pending button for reboot system when you run updates? I always reboot after updates, maybe not always necessary but feels like a good habit.

Funny thing, as expected, it had to do with translations. But this only happened in a deployed package and not while developing. Love such errors.

failed to open file at path: /usr/lib/garuda-rani/_up_/assets/i18n/en.json with error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Edit: it was indeed a packaging issue. Will be fixed as soon as things finish compiling.

might be cause its a distrobox but
