Patchmanager 3 Beta
Patchmanager 3 public beta
Make sure to unapply patches before upgrade from Patchmanager 2. Installation will fail if any patch is applied.
If you have installed prepatch, please remove it before patchmanager3 installation.
Changes between version 2 and version 3:
- Not changing original files. Patches applied to fakeroot located at /tmp/patchmanager
- OS update friendly. Patchmanager3 automatically detects when user start downloading an update and unapplying all patches
- Patches can be reordered to be applied in correct order. Just drag to left and drop at required position
- Collect information about possible conflicting patches. Visit patch info page.
- Automatic check for updates for online catalog patches. Notificaiton will popup if new version of patch will be released
Patchmanager daemon acts like proxy, filtering open calls and decide if application should open original file or fake one.
Useful environment variables:
NO_PM_PRELOAD=1 disables preload plugin from filtering calls
PM_PRELOAD_DEBUG=1 enables additional stderr output for preload plugin
Keep in mind this is beta version and should contain a lot of bugs. However it was tested for a while.
Please report all bugs to: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92935
You can collect patchmanager logs by running: devel-su journalctl -al _COMM=jolla-settings + _EXE=/usr/sbin/patchmanager + _EXE=/usr/bin/patchmanager-dialog > patchmanager.log

OK, not easy because it seems random...
1. I install patchmanager
2. I install different patches, from 'web catalog' of PM Settings
3. No problem when I reboot (expect the last one I installed)
4. I install other patches from openrepos, with storeman
5. It works
6. I reboot
7. It doesn't work any more...
I precise my device is an Intex aqua fish, modified with your script, aqua fish to Jolla C.
It could be a possible cause of the trouble, or another one, till when I reset my device , I run the script, I upgrade the system to 2.2.0.29 version, and I can't install again Storeman or warehouse, zypper returns me some problems of dependances.
It is incomprehensible for me, so I will try without the script aqua fish to jolla C.

I'm having the same problem. Trying to solve the problem was unsuccessful so far. When trying to delete all patches via a terminal session it says '... is not owned by any package'. Thats weird. May I find out more tonite.

No, I didn't. Is that needed? I try to send a log as well after I'm back from work.

Well, it seems to be a bug with PM3 ?... Because I reset my device, upgrade SFOS to 2.1.4.14, I didn't apply aqua-fish-to-jolla-c, and the problem is the same.
Moreover, it is impossible to install PM2 still update to PM3, storeman start to work, but stop immediatly, and stay to "uninstalled", so for the moment, I will keep my device as it stood, i.e. identified like Intex, with SFOS 2.1.4.14, PM3, least possible patches from storeman, and above all avoid reboot !
Ask me if you need more details, I will do my possible, and thanks a lot for your readiness.

Why what should happen never happens with me ??? I don't find this file ! No folder /usr/sbin/patchmanager. Only files : one calls 'patchmanager' (executable), and no 'patchmanager.log'.

So, I did 'devel-su journalctl -al /usr/sbin/patchmanager > /home/nemo/patchmanager.log', and the file was created, with inside : 'Auth failed'

@mixmax, please issue the two commands separately:

That's what I did. And the result is a file created, with only 'Auth failed' inside.

Unfortunately, some patches cannot be disabled, so I cannot upgrade patchmanager.

Great work the idea to combine patchmanager and prepatch is just sublime. Which OS version is compatible with it? I am still on 2.1.4 is that ok and would it conflict with the newly released verson of Sailfish?
Great work once again
