UP 2014.01.15 [PRODUCTION] [DONE]

[jsvenancio]

I followed the recommendation and apparently went well.
But when you start SolydX, I can no longer log in as jsvenancio, only with root and pasword.
Unfortunately I have to format the PC ...

No, you don't.
After booting into recovery mode, and login as root, you run this command:

Code: Select all

passwd jsvenancio

Just follow the questions.
Also check if you're listed as a user:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/passwd | grep jsvenancio

Sorry, my mistake.
At the time that I was preparing to format, I remembered that he used a different username.

Have I access with my usr.

Thanks for everything.

Hello guys...the update pack for SolydK installed successfully with only some warnings noted. The warnings are related to "pixbuf" with comment "this likely means your installation is broken".

Below is a link to my warnings. I only copy/pasted each warning sequence with a few of the lines above and below each.

I'm using the 3.10.3 kernel and here is the results of my inxi -r

Edit: Fixed.

Hello!

I have to say I love SolydK. I did complete the UP today, with one issue. After updating, I can only get a maximum display resolution of 1024x768 and I cannot set my display resolution back to native (1280x800). The Intel driver (2:2.21.15-1+b2) is still installed and seems to be working, however I cannot configure the display properly. This happens all the way from the PC Bios Splash screen forward. I can boot my Windows install just fine from Grub, but Grub and SolydK all display in 1024x768.

Kernel:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit:

As I was typing this, it occurred to me to update grub. Sure enough, running

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

and rebooting fixed it.[/color]

Hi abqnm, and welcome to our forum!

I love it when people solve their own problems, and write about it in this forum!

Hi abqnm, and welcome to our forum!

I love it when people solve their own problems, and write about it in this forum!

Thanks for the quick reply, even though I had fixed it already! I would much rather share experiences in case others encounter it as well since you can't always be available. I do appreciate your dedication to SolydXK as I am sure it is a lot of work. I am quite happy with SolydK and hope to see it stick around for the long term. Thanks again!

Just did the upgrade using the terminal and I experienced a few smaller issues. Have restarted the computer and everything seems to be working ok.

Screenshot 1
For some reason the update manager does not like pipelight and wanted to remove it. I Experienced the same "glitch" last month. The screenshots displays the difference between the UM and the terminal.

Screenshot 2
I also had the same issue regarding libavutil52. The solution from previous posts to move the changelog did the trick. I got some warning that libreofficecore was depending on libharfbuzz0b, but it was not availible. Have checked synaptics and the package is installed. Have started both writer and calc, and everything seems to be working. Maybe just a glitch since libharfbuzz0a was removed

Screenshot 3
The warning concerning gdk-pixbuf.....

that looks good

in the meantime i was looking closer at your screenshots and regarding this issue:

I got some warning that libreofficecore was depending on libharfbuzz0b, but it was not availible. Have checked synaptics and the package is installed. Have started both writer and calc, and everything seems to be working. Maybe just a glitch since libharfbuzz0a was removed

i believe that what happened was:
the dist-upgrade broke at this point because of libavutil52 and the replace from libharfbuzz0a to libharfbuzz0b was not yet done; that's why apt complains about libreoffice-core being broken; but with the consequent -f install the dependencies are corrected

Good evening !
My solydk x64 update went flawless. Thank you guys for your hard work ! Also I hope 2014 will be a prosperous year for this distro and it's one of a kind community

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 

According to the internets libharfbuzz0a is:

OpenType text shaping engine (shared library)
HarfBuzz is an implementation of the OpenType Layout engine (aka layout
engine) and the script-specific logic (aka shaping engine).

This package contains the shared libraries.

Is this safe to remove?

[Dr G]

I may need a little help.

Ran "apt-get dist-upgrade" and received the following:

The following packages have been kept back:
audacious-plugins kbreakout libavfilter3 libffmpegthumbnailer4 libmediastreamer-base3 libnepomukcore4 mplayer nepomuk-core-runtime vlc vlc-nox vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-pulse

Is this a problem? If so, can anyone offer guidance on how to proceed?

Further update report from the "rocky update road"

Upon seemingly successful completion of update, as a precaution I ran in Konsole:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-kernel-dkms

although update manager should have taken care of that? Results:

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 

[zerozero]

looks good [that's what i was expecting to see]

can't say why UM had such an odd output

yep, better safe than sorry with the nvidia reinstallation but this time it was already rebuilt for the new kernel

Code: Select all

Status: Before uninstall, this module version was ACTIVE on this kernel.

I may need a little help.

Ran "apt-get dist-upgrade" and received the following:

The following packages have been kept back:
audacious-plugins kbreakout libavfilter3 libffmpegthumbnailer4 libmediastreamer-base3 libnepomukcore4 mplayer nepomuk-core-runtime vlc vlc-nox vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-pulse

Is this a problem? If so, can anyone offer guidance on how to proceed?

Thx

Dr G
that happens doing the January UP?
share the output of

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/preferences

[TeaSwigger]

Thank you for explaining that, zerozero

Update appears to be successful!

Only further things I can think to add are:
- At the bottom of update manager window, it said "Launch Synaptic to begin update" for a while. It probably shouldn't be displaying that. Newbies might have done what it said.
- There were two instances of update manager in the system tray during updates. No idea why.

So for a newbie there were hurdles, but for me it turned out all right.

My appreciation, again, to those here playing a part in making the fantastic and beautiful solydk os happen.
