Andromeda - Krunner working poorly - Unable to Install S4 Snapshots

Just installed Andromeda, like it very much, but:

- Krunner takes a lot of time to appear on the desktop and it does so only after several attempts (it is set to activate when pressing any keys).
Even after it worked for some time, it can go back into not functioning well.

- S4 Snapshots downloaded but cant' install. During the second stage of the wizard, an error message pops up.
Setup action: Testing installation ... Done
Error: Simulation not successful, I cannot install now.

I have been using Q4OS exclusively for almost a year now and these two items were amongst my favourites.

Can you please help?

Thank you for the great work, anyway!

Re: Andromeda - Krunner working poorly - Unable to Install S4 Snapshots

Welcome to the forum

Krunner takes a lot of time to appear on the desktop and it does so only after several attempts (it is set to activate when pressing any keys).
Even after it worked for some time, it can go back into not functioning well.

What desktop environment, Plasma, Trinity, other ?

S4 Snapshots downloaded but cant' install.

Yes, S4-snapshot is not finished for Andromeda yet. It will be available in about a month.

Thank you for the great work, anyway!

You are welcome

Krunner takes a lot of time to appear on the desktop...

In Plasma activate krunner with "Alt+Space" key combo. It's fast and works perfectly here.

Indeed, I installed S4-snapshot immediately after it became available, thank you!

Question from a beginner:
Can I delete an older snapshot from the system when I take a new one?

Yes, you can delete snapshots form /home/snapshot and create an another one.
