Who is it for?
This application is designed for gambas developers who have multiple operating systems on different drive partitions with different versions of gambas installed for testing purposes..
What does it do?
On launch it will ask for root access to mount all connected drives and search for a gambas installation on each disk.
It lists all drives that meet the following conditions...
- The drive has a Label (disks without labels are ignored)
- The drive has gambas installed either via pkg manager or autotools compile.
What can you do now?
See What gambas is where.
Double click a drive to reboot to that drive on the next reboot only or to browse the drive.
Requirements.
You must have the line...
‘DEFAULT=saved’
in ‘/etc/default/grub’ to be able to double click a drive to reboot into it.
If you have had to add/modify that line you must then run update-grub.
Also to reboot to an alternative drive and back you must be on your default drive when running this application.
Ie. the drive /boot/grub/grub.cfg is read from at startup.
Listing the gambas versions will work on any drive but the reboot commands will only work from the boot disk
