#Gpodder folder stopped updating software#

This resulted in the the gPodder Home directory being set up in my Home directory on the system partitions as normal, but no Downloads directory was created inside the gPodder Home directory.

#Gpodder folder stopped updating software#

Initial installation of gPodder from the Software Manager was successful, but no podcast feeds were set up initially. In the absence of interest and/or responses to this thread, I decided to test the first option above on another couple of machines (eeePC 1000H 32 bit, no Timeshift HP15 laptop 64 bit, with Timeshift) as follows.

However, if this proves to be too difficult or risky, I will leave things as they are, and just remember to clear the Downloads folder regularly, by manually copying podcasts to the Data partition.Īny experiences or expertise regarding this would be greatly appreciated. I need Windows to allow me to run iTunes so I can load up my iPod Nano 7th Generation, which gtkPod won't work with. My aims in getting the downloads into the Data partition (NTFS) are to avoid filling up my system partition with podcasts, but also to allow them to be read by Windows (running either in a separate bare metal partition, or a VM). The alternative option of running commands about environment variables in terminal seems quite fraught, and above my level of understanding, judging by this post in the gPodder archives:Ĭoncerns seem to be raised about the differences between system wide versus profile specific environment variables (!?) Maybe it is best to use only the second line, and leave the gPodder Home directory contents (except the Downloads directory) in the usual Home directory? Also, the last directory (/gPodder) may be redundant, if it is created by this new environment variable, similarly to usual installation. The second line may be redundant, if the first line results in the whole gPodder Home folder, including the Downloads directory, being shifted to the Data drive.
