"Check automatically for updates" checked, but not updating...

Post by pickone »

Hi!

I have UMS installed on an linux ubuntu machine, anyone knows how can I update the UMS version to the latest, keeping the settings unchanged?
Having the "Check automatically for updates" checked, doesn't do nothing.

Thank you in advance!

All of your settings are in the folder:
/username/.config/UMS/

The actual program will be somewhere like:
/opt/ums/

I am not sure about ubuntu (I use Gentoo headless), but I just untar the new version in the /opt/ums/ folder (or wherever folder yours is installed in) and all your settings will be kept.

You could copy the folder /username/.config/UMS/ to somewhere else as a backup if you wanted to be doubly sure.
