So not only am I new to xLights (after using LOR for 12 years) but I am also new to Linux. Was a Microsoft evangelist for much of my career as a developer of Windows Desktop applications, but Satya Nadella has just pi--ed me off too many times lately. Switched my default boot O/S to Mint 19.4 with Cinnamon.
Installed xLights v2019.8 using the .deb package from Chris Debenham. 2019.8 is still the last version available from his site. I have downloaded the 2019.15 AppImage, chmod-ed it to executable, and I can run ver 15 from the download folder. But if I use the shortcut on the desktop or menu, it still runs ver 8. So I guessing I need to copy the ver 15 AppImage file over top of the ver 8 executable. (?) But I'll be damned if I can figure out where the ver 8 executable IS and where put the update! Have run searches, poked around thru bin and lib and other promising sounding folders, to no avail. Tried examining the link on the desktop but it doesn't tell me where it's linking TO.
Running ver 15 from my Downloads folder does not seem like the proper way of doing things. What is the proper way to install an update???
