Hi Folks,

2 days ago, or was it yesterday, I received the notification for updating to v31.1.0. I never received the update notification for v31.0.0. I have been using v30.0.0.

The update appears to download without problems but then the dialogue window remains in "Apply upodate..." with the progress indicator bar continually moving from Left to Right.

After 10 minutes of waiting, I opened the Help menu and selected the option "Apply Downloaded Update Now...".

Selecting that option changes the dialogue window to prompt to Restart Pale Moon as can be seen in the attached image.

I clicked on the Restart Pale Moon button and after Pale Moon restarts I get an Update Failed dialogue window as can be seen in the 2nd attached image.

Thanks!!, M.

Just want to let you know that the same thing has happened with Interlink.

Will be downloading Pale Moon later.

In that case it may simply be a file system permission issue. Make sure that where you install it is user-writeable if you want to use the internal updater.

The internal updater process didn't fail the last time and I have been using these applications for multiple years now.

Ummm--you also have the option of the gtk2 31.1.0 I build for the MX repo, or the gtk3 one in the test repo (kinda lame, but it's the way I could think of to keep them separate)

Hi Steve,

I downloaded the GTK2 Tarball from the Pale Moon site and manually installed it which is how I originally installed Pale Moon.

I'm getting things in order to do the same for Interlink Mail & News.
