Tonight there was a power outage in my home where I have a RaspberryPi 4B development system with Lazarus 2.0.8 and Fpc 3.0.4.
When it happened the system was running including Lazarus. Now when I start Lazarus I get to a dialog saying: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade configuration THere is already a configuration from version prior to 2.0.8 in /home/pi/.lazarus_2.0.8 The old configuration will be upgraded. If you want to use two different Lazarus versions you must start the second Lazarus with the command line parameter primary-config-path or pcp .... [Abort] [Upgrade] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously my start desktop file for Lazarus specifies to use pcp as I have several versions of Lazarus installed. In order not to break anything I used Abort and started checking the content of my config dir and comparing to another 2.0.8 version. What I found is that there are 3 files in the problem dir that have suspicious timestamps/sizes: -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 306 Aug 24 03:59 EditorMacros.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 0 Jan 1 1970 environmentoptions.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 2883 Aug 24 03:59 inputhistory.xml In the other Lazarus 2.0.8 config dir (set to use fpc 3.2) these files are as follows: -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 9735 Jun 21 17:13 environmentoptions.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 712 Jun 21 17:13 inputhistory.xml EditorMacros.xml is missing in the other dir. What to do? It seems like the environmentoptions.xml got hosed in the power outage... Can I copy this file from an RPi3B where I have installed the same versions of Lazarus and Fpc in the same file locations (I use the same install scripts on all RPi:s)? I really do not want to lose any of what I worked on last night before I stopped at 00:31 after finally fixing a persistent bug. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
