sorry thought i posted his thread,i reflashed then did not restore but manually installed all my appsf you prefer to use restore/backup to re-install your progs after flashing, you do not read no further. Have a good day.

The backup/restore menu also allows one to choose only backup/restore Application lists, I have NOT tried that one.

In general, I do NOT use restore upon upgrade.

I prefer to copy ALL the repos and re-install progs by going thru App Manager>Browse installable applications, and click my favorite progs and install them one by one. This way, I re-install ALL my progs in 45 min without even one hiccup - no dependency problems for ALL my installations.

In general, I always add repos and choose progs from app manager, that may avoid problems like this, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=21437, almost one post said it does not work, immediately counter balance by another one said it is working.

If you are careful, I believe you can copy /var/lib/apt/lists to your SD before flashing and put it back after flashing, and then change whatever repo needs to be change. I did not do in that way, I did it the old fashion way, I typed it out in a text file, and typed it back after flash. It took only 5 mins.

Here is a list of ALL my repos, only seven, that has almost ALL my progs,

and here are the progs that I installed, one by one, took ~45 min, with absolutely no dependency problems. And I also believe these are the most common progs that are used by average users.

this is buns thread not mine,did bad job copying it,good luck,Ruthie

Thanks! I'll see if I can fix it without reflashing first though.

wish you luck,it took me lots of time to finally figure it out,now everything works like a charm

I have found the cause. In my case at least the alarm stopped working after I had installed powerlaunch. The little clock icon stays visible in the systemtray, and there is no popup or sound. Uninstalling powerlaunch made the alarm work again. I'll report it to the maker of Powerlaunch.
