Shutdown menu now has reboot with rollback

July 27, 2020 — BarryK

I posted yesterday about adding reboot with filesystem check to the Shutdown menu:

I have now added "Reboot, with rollback", which brings up a GUI with a couple of simple choices, or option to run the full Easy Version Control:

...the layout needs to be tweaked a bit, maybe someone familiar with using gtkdialog could do that for me.

It also works in CLI mode, which is useful if X is not working. Just type "easy-rollback" at the prompt, and it will display a text interface equivalent functionality to those radiobuttons.

This is another convenience feature, making things easier for the user. So, you just do a normal reboot, and it will automatically perform the rollback that you have chosen.
