Is that a 64bit (xperia x10Ii) system?

Because there’s a general problem about library path with 64bit systens.

Yes exactly, its on a X10ii.

Alright, the underlying problem is that on x86 and arm, 32bit systems, many things that are manipulated by patches are located in /usr/lib while in aarch64 (which the X10ii uses) in /usr/lib64.
No big deal, except patches written for one platform will not apply on the other because patch can’t find the files, even though they will be exactly the same.

For any patch that doesn’t apply for this reason, you will have to edit the patch file and find all lines that look like this:

--- /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/...
+++ /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/...

and replace the /usr/lib by /usr/lib64.

Then it should apply.

I have decided against distributing a separate patch for 64bits, for one it’s useless duplication and generates more maintenance work, and also we’re looking into a general solution over at Patchmanager’s Issue #71 .

Thanks for the effort. The solution via patchmanager is definitely better than quirking around with each patch.

Hello nephros - could you make in the future a patch mix with Sandbox Indicator and Always show close icon in app-switcher please? I cannot activate both and I love the always show close icons. What I also missed is the patch Notifications count in Switcher. I will try also to build a patch for all tree, but I’m afraid I don’t have enough experience with this.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I can try though to be frank in the coming days or couple of weeks I will probably not find the time.

Thanks! I really missed this and really hate html mail.

Just to note here that this issue was resolved with version 3.2? of patch manager. I had to check https://github.com/sailfishos-patches/patchmanager/pull/109

Please try: Project: patch-sandbox-indicator-combined

relatively untested - this needs Ancelad’s patch activated and goes on top.

Thanks you are faster like me. It works. for me.
Here are a screenshot for the patch description.

Just replying to bump this, and:

I don’t actively use all of my patches myself. I have updated the compatability with 4.4.x on Web Catalog for those I was able to test.

If you have tried one of my patches and found that it’s working with 4.4, but it is not marked compatible please notify me here.

NB: compatibility does not update if youhave already installed the patch. For the information to update you have to re-install from Web Catalog.

By popular demand (i.e. two people asked about it :D), I have added Powerdrain on Statusbar to the Web Catalog.

I had forgotten this thread! Yeah, patches by @nephros! Could go live on a gaming site! Powerdrain! at Twenty to Two! Or One Forty where I come from :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Maybe offtopic, but out of curiosity what’s that droid icon?

Does it indicate ‘Android support on/running’?

Yes. It’s another patch, not by me.

Well t’s the time, the Fuzzy Time patch! :wink:

The patch per square millimeter is high in that status bar! Reminds me not to buy notched devices again;)
