It's been a long while but I have a much delayed update for the X1Boot Manager. There's some new management features, a few bug fixes and a few more other changes. Making this a a good overall improvement.
New features
- Now caches release versions of kernel modules for faster operation.
- Image and menu lists with kernels now includes column marking default
kernel. - Kernel list now shows default kernel and kernel module release versions.
- Kernel images editor has new option "Clear Modules" to clear out unused
modules in boot menu from system. - Kernel images editor has new option "Remove Modules" to remove orphaned
modules without installed kernel from system. - Menu editor now has new option "Reset Menu" to clear all entries and reset
menu. - Settings editor now shows active setting when editing each setting.
- Duplicate setting now has new options to update or overwrite duplicate
files. - Option to "Create Ramdisks" in Kernel images editor will now repack
existing ramdisks if Duplicate is set to update or overwrite files.
Bug fixes
- Fixed issues with files when path names contained spaces.
- Fixed issue where extracting kernel release version could be corrupted.
- Fixed issue where ramdisk creation failed silently due to invalid release
version. - Fixed issue where modules were installed with incorrect file permissions.
- Fixed issue where boot partiion check failing would fall through without
giving an error and continue. - Fixed issue where double clicks would exit menu due to zenity bug.
- Fixed issue with installer falling through and aborting due to debconf
skipping prompts as well as possible messages being displayed twice.
Other changes
- All root file operations will now ask for password before asking for any
file selection. - Credentials needed for root permission are now encrypted with random key
for increased security. - Reduced size of ramdisks created on newer kernels and distros that can
cause bloating. - Progress bars now encapsulate quick multiple file operations under one
progress dialog. - Installing kernel images now accepts kernels prefixed with "kernel" in
file dialog and will detect ramdisks prefixed with "ramdisk".
