Albert no longer shows any results for any search string for me since updating.

It works for me, it just takes more time to index them, don't know exactly why.

Could you post the content of pndrun_albert.out file located on /tmp folder?

No such file exists on my device

 

[levi]

Have you run it since the last reboot? The pnd_run system should always create an .out file in /tmp when launched, even if it's successful.

 

[directive0]

Ive messed something up. I tried to downgrade to an older version, deleted the newer PND and replaced it with an older one. Now it won't even run.

 

[Eight Bit]

Did you delete the /pandora/appdata/albert folder? If not, try again after deleting it

 

[levi]

It's always worth moving the appdata folder somewhere out of the way whenever you downgrade anything. You can try running the older version, but I'd always take a backup copy first, in case it messes it up completely and you then can't use it with any version. But if it doesn't work with that copy, you'll have to just delete it and start afresh.

Edit: Ah, I didn't see @Eight Bit's post there.

Edit2: Seems there's more than one Eight Bit user around.

Huh? What? Who?
I don't get it.

 

[levi]

I originally spelled your name without the space and it turns out there is a user named like you but without the space.

Got it to open once, quit it and now it won't open. |

Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

That feels to me like it should be an error rather than a warning, but that's only my best guess from that log.

 

[canseco]

umount: /mnt/utmp/albert: device is busy.

When you quit Albert, the device didn't delete albert folder.

Did you quit with rigth click on the icon-Quit?

/usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh: line 627: cd: /mnt/utmp/pndmanager: No such file or directory

I don't see this line on my log. Did you updated OpenPandora firmware?

Menu-Programs-System-Upgrade Pandora OS

It should be 1.76 update 3.

 

[levi]

In my experience, that 'device busy' error is quite common and has never caused me any trouble. I think it's noise.

 

[canseco]

About indexing taking too long.

It took 2 minutes to index the 800 PNDs i have installed.
How much does it take with an older version?

In my experience, that 'device busy' error is quite common and has never caused me any trouble. I think it's noise.

Not something common in my case but very rare to happen.
Do you use vfat as filesystem too on your SD card?

 

[levi]

No, I can't remember now if I use ext2 or ext4 but it's definitely one of those.

 

[directive0]

Originally I quit it by holding the pandora button.

Let's start over so we know whats going on. Using pndmanager I have uninstalled the version of Albert I had. I have deleted the appdata folder for it.

I will now install albert and copy the log. Then I will restart and open the app again and copy a log. Then I will quit the app using rightclick_icon -> quit and save a log.

 

[levi]

Worth doing. You say 'now it won't open', and I guess that log file was from the last instance where it 'did nothing'.

 

[directive0]

Just wanted to come back here with my tail between my legs and say I figured out that somehow in settings the checkbox for "applications" in the "extensions" tab was not checked. It now works perfectly. Thank you!
