@ksalver it sure does, thanks again. Hopefully this fix will be put in and more can have your fix.

@kristatos what can I say, you are a star, that idea worked and I was able to determine that I had a bad media file in my videos > com.ubuntu.camera folder. I added a text file there saying ".nomedia" and rebooted a number of times. Each time I did not get the double boot issue on either start-up of shut down.

I have no idea, but from what you are saying "I've looked at my E4.5 and it seems that this DB is build at every boot again" this is what is happening, but you think the input to this may be broken?

By any chance, you do not know what files go to make this up?

@dobey this has been covered about 17 comments from the top

@Lakotaubp thanks for the tip as I was not aware this app was out there. However, it did not work for me this time.

As an update I have noticed that most times I delete this db it will vome back. I think the fix has not worked when I get a double boot, only to find it back again.

Yes it is more when I am typing an email or text message.

I to have always found turning the hotspot on for my OPO a pain. Most of the time it can take up to 7 plus attempts from the settings. I hardly ever can get it to activate via the notifications bar. With the latest releases it dors seem to be getting better but still not perfect by a long shot.

I had a similar issue a few days ago. What seemed to work for me was removing all contact groups in google contacts and then syncing. For me iy would show sync on my UT phone but all contacts with groups like friends and work were not on my phone, no matter how may times I tried. So removing all groups and just havimg the default pushed them to my phone.

It may be my device but when I type, unless the word is 90% spelt correct the options that the auto correct come up with are way out there and wrong.

This is not the case with andriod or ios. They seem to get word correct far more often then UT. I kniw some may say learn to spell but it looks like it is not workimg as good as could be. Also if English is noy a users first language they may not know the word is wrong.

Is it me or are others findimg this an issue.

Now I may be looking at this wrong and if I am please feel free to point out, but there don't seem anywhere in Settings to check/activate.

Cool will do and will post the number here.

@Marathon2422 Yep I made sure as had that before. It was fully in (so it clicked) and there is no cover. I could hear, but when I spoke the other person could not hear me. The speaker and headphone set work on other phones all OK, so I know they are not faulty.

Is it just my machine or does the mic not work when you pit a mic and earphone combination into the earphone jack on OPO?

I have a set from work, that has the earphones and mic in one cable. When I put this into the earphone jact point at the top of the OPO, I can hear the conversation nice and clear, but I cannot speak as the mic does not work.

Is this a setting or could it be a bug?

I can confirm that the fix given does actually work. Last night there was a system update (version 18) that I installed. After this install the double boot issue came back again. On checking the "/.cache/mediascanner-2.0/mediastore.db" was back again, so I removed it again and since then no double boot.

No worries about adding the bug report, but do you want to @kristatos as it is your hard work that has found the fix, I am just the tester

@arubislander thanks for that, I was able to locate the item mentioned by @kristatos and remove it. I did not want to delete it straight away in case it all went wrong, so I moved it to another folder.

@Lakotaubp I can confirm that after moving the mentioned media database I have restarted my DPD a number of times (by shut down & restart) and each time it has booted up just once. Not I get past the two lots of scrolling dots, I get three lots and then the login screen. I will monitor this for some time and see how it goes, but initial tests are promising.

Is there any way we can get this fix/delete of corrupt media database in the next release to help all those that have this issue but may not of read this thread? Seems a nice quick and easy fox.

@kristatos you are a star for finding that out and adding it here. Like I say initial tests are very promising. Thank you so much for adding your fix here and helping me and all the others out who have this issue. Cracking work mate.

@Lakotaubp I have just tried to access /userdate in Filemanager (unlocked) and it will not let me in. I will have to try at home in a few hours.

@Flohack @Lakotaubp guys we have a few people mentioning this double boot issue on at least two devices now and we seem to have a potential fix by "kristatos".

Would this be a good time to have this looked into, so others do not have to just put up with it?

@Flohack is you need this testing, you know you only have to give me a shout on Telegram.

@ksalver said in Old browser and all history, bookmarks and opened pages:

the last opened tab (maybe a unwanted link) cannot be closed via "unwanted tab X" .
i always must select another tab to close this.

I have noticed this as there is no "X" to click. I too have to select another tab, open it up, then go into the all tabs again and close the one I was previously looking at, which now has an "X" on it.

I think this has been raised, but if not are you going to log it in GitLab?
