FWUL\_v3.2\_x86-64 (forgetful/ISO only)
Released: 2020-09-13
Reason: Maintenance release
Download: Go to the Download section in the OP
All closed issues for this release: see the Milestone tracking
Full Changelog (this version VS. previous): git commits
Summary Changelog:
- Fresh Manjaro Arch Linux base from the day of release (means all OS packages are top current)
- new look & feel by a new icon and desktop theme
- backported from v4.0: new installer dialogs (goodbye ugly terminal outputs)
- backported from v4.0: SALT's new requirements are pre-installed now
- backported from v4.0: AMD graphic support for newer models
- backported from v4.0: fully pre-pkg all installers. this one is incredible important to keep the installers working without doing a full system upgrade. Previously once times passes by and you wanted to use the installers the package (e.g. spflashtools, teamviewer) got downloaded by the normal way. As everything depends on each other that could result in hundreds of Megabytes if not a full system upgrade at the end. Useless and annoying for a live ISO. The new approach will fully pre-package all dependencies directly within the build process so they will always fit exactly to the release. That way even if you start v3.2 in 3 years it will just download the pre-packaged file which contains all you need.

FWUL\_v3.0.2\_x86-64 - PERSISTENT ONLY
Released: 2019-01-15
Reason: Maintenance release, ONLY for persistent builds
A patch has been released for FWUL
persistent
builds.
Patching a persistent build is handled by the FWUL LivePatcher which can be found on the desktop.
Due to many under-the-hood changes (mainly the repo URL path changed and that required adjusting several files) the following procedure is needed to upgrade correctly to the latest release:
- double-click "FWUL LivePatcher"
- click "Check & Download Patches" button!
- once finished click "Start LivePatcher" and wait until it finishes
- you will be prompted to re-open the LivePatcher as there was an update for the LivePatcher itself
- you should be informed that your FWUL version is now 3.0.1
- close the LivePatcher and re-open it
- click again on "Check & Download Patches" button!
- once finished click "Start LivePatcher" and wait until it finishes
- you should be informed that your FWUL version is now 3.0.2
if something goes wrong do this in a terminal:
Code:
tar cvzf flu.tgz /var/log/fwuland attach the resulting flu.tgz file in your post.
Summary Changelog:
- changed repository patch for FWUL LivePatcher to gitlab
- workaround for issue #88

- you will NOT be able to update the kernel, virtualbox guest utils or any other kernel related module(s) (they are excluded automatically so just for info)
- you will NOT be able to update to newer FWUL releases. This will ALWAYS require a re-install as changing that would require an incredible amount of work and resources, update servers etc. - there are more fixes/changes: follow the above full changelog/milestone link!
