I would be happy too help with the script test; however, I am unable to do so because since I installed the updates on my Dell D620, that you did the remote install on (11/06/14) I have no wireless access too the network. I tried the on board help too locate a fix or a method of trouble shooting. Failing too find a fix I did as you advised and posted my problem on the forum but to date haven't received a reply. With God's help I am doing my best too find out why installing the updates would wipe out my wifi access too the network and as soon as I find the answer I will post it and should you still need a script tester be more than happy too help. God bless you.
tnx john

I'm going to run this on 2.2 Final on my own computer for several months until 2.4 is released to see if it stands the test of time. If this works well and is stable, I hope to include it in 2.4 next year, being such a critical piece of software, it has to work well over a long period of time.

Hi folks,

I would like some volunteers to try this update script I have been working on and off for some months now.

This would require you to create this file first so that there is no interruption in the update process:
(source http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/debian-conffile-configuration-file-managed-by-dpkg/)


--- Code: ---sudo leafpad /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---Dpkg::Options {
   "--force-confdef";
   "--force-confold";
}
--- End code ---

save and close.

Here is the script:


--- Code: ---leafpad ~/updatestest
--- End code ---

copy into the following, then save and close, and make executable:


--- Code: ---#!/bin/bash

--- End code ---

Then open terminal and run:


--- Code: ---gksudo ./updatestest
--- End code ---

and let me know how you get on.

Thanks :)
