Breakage and News tracker for debian testing [buster]

[grizzler]

If you want I can build a solydxk-system without these triggers and upload it to the solydxk-10 repository. Let me know.

Maybe we should try that.
Edit
Never mind. All libc-bin has is

Code: Select all

interest-await ldconfig

So I don't think that's the problem.

I don't know why the GUI is not showing. I don't have a Buster based system available to test it with. Have you tried it with another Gtk theme?

Just tried Adwaita (my default is Murrina Cappuccino). No difference.

P.S.
Sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy I haven't had time to check the forums in almost a week...

[Arjen Balfoort]

Sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy I haven't had time to check the forums in almost a week...

I assumed you were busy
So, I uploaded the addapted package just the same (version 3.0.4b13).

Regarding the gksu issue: I'm now implementing policykit/pkexec with solydxk-system and making the message translatable is my current goal. If I get this to work on solydxk-system I'll implement it in the other packages as well.

[kurotsugi]

my current concern is this

Code: Select all

aptitude -s purge gksu
The following packages will be REMOVED:  
  gconf-service{u} gconf2{u} gconf2-common{u} gksu{p} libgconf-2-4{u} 
  libgksu2-0{u} libgnome-keyring-common{u} libgnome-keyring0{u} 
  libgtop-2.0-11{u} libgtop2-common{u} 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 10 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 10.0 MB will be freed.

will xfce works without these packages?

[smitty1]

This is interesting.

I was going to test if Solydx would work without those packages in a vm I already had handy. My results were quite different.

Code: Select all

jim@x-ee-vm:~$ aptitude -s purge gksu
The following packages will be REMOVED:  
  gksu{p} 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 solydx-system-adjustments-10 : Depends: gksu but it is not going to be installed
 solydxk-system : Depends: kdesudo which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
 or
                           kde-cli-tools but it is not going to be installed or
                           gksu but it is not going to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:                          
1)     solydx-system-adjustments-10 [2.9.3 (now, solydxk-ee)]
2)     solydxk-system [3.0.4b13 (now, solydxk-ee)]           



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

The results of replacing solydx-system-adjustments-10 with solydxk-system was an infusion of 92, mostly kde related, packages.

Obviously I did not continue.

[grizzler]

That's about the same I get here. I looked at the packages kurotsugi mentioned (gconf-service gconf2 gconf2-common libgconf-2-4 libgnome-keyring-common libgnome-keyring0 libgtop-2.0-11 libgtop2-common) and I don't see any dependency on gksu.
If I simulate removal of gksu, solydx-system-adjustments-10 and solydxk-system, the only other packages that get pulled off are aptoncd (didn't realise I had that) and solydxk-constructor.

I think most of Debian's packages are already gksu free...

[kurotsugi]

it could be because I disabled recommended install on apt. I also didn't have either solydxk-system nor adjustment. it seems to me that the second terminal result is caused by solydxk-system dependency. it depends on either gksu or kdesudo. since it couldn't find gksu, it tries to install kdesudo and it's dependencies.

I believe xfce itself would be fine without those packages. though, I don't know about the stuffs which we borrowed from gnome.

btw, yep...I removed them. nothing broke so far, but I haven't explore all my apps yet. since solydx is more complex than my system, please let me know which apps broken due to the removal.

[kurotsugi]

yep. those but packages didn't depend on gksu but rather gksu depends on them. those packages are marked as "automatic" so that when nothing depends on them, aptitude will try to remove them.

well...since something else still depends on them on solydxk, I think we have no worries about solydxk. I'll mark my case as a special/experimental case :3

[grizzler]

Received several vlc packages version 3.0.0~rc7-2 yesterday. Keeps one CPU core at 100% all the time when vlc is playing (or even just displaying) My Music.

[kurotsugi]

I guess I'm lucky. my vlc behaves normally. let's see if other user reported similar issue :3

[Arjen Balfoort]

I've adapted these packages to use pkexec instead of kdesudo/gksudo:
live-installer-3
solydxk-system
usb-creator
solydxk-constructor

I've uploaded the packages to the testing repository (both solydxk-9 and solydxk-10). So, if you want to try them out you need to adjust your sources.list file:

Code: Select all

deb http://repository.solydxk.com solydxk-10 main upstream import testing

You can also browse them here: http://repository.solydxk.nl/pool/testing/

Let me know if this solves the gksu issue.

[grizzler]

Thanks. I'll try to find the time for that this weekend. Unfortunately, some unexpected, non computer related issues currently take up most of my time.

[Arjen Balfoort]

Don't worry. I'll keep those packages in testing as long as needed.

[grizzler]

Right. The weekend didn't work out, but I figured I might have just enough time now to do a quick update run on the smallest EE ISO: solydx ee 32 (quick being the keyword here). Then this happened:

Code: Select all

...
dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers:
 chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible:
  solydxk-system -> solydxk-system -> solydxk-system -> solydxk-system -> solydxk-system -> solydxk-system
 packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable:
  install-info: /usr/share/info
  solydxk-system: /etc/issue: /etc/issue.net: /etc/os-release
...

and out went 'quick'...

Apart from that, I did have a quick look at the control files of the four modified packages and noticed the solydxk-system one still had a gksu depends...

[Arjen Balfoort]

I don't know yet about the cycle issue but I removed the gksu dependency. I'll check out the other thing when I have some time.

[Edit]
I see, the 32-bit iso has solydxk-system 3.0.4b12. This version still had triggers on those files. Triggers on /etc were removed in version 3.0.4b13. There's not much I can do about the cycle issue: it's version b12 causing it, not the new package. You can install solydxk-system first before upgrading.

[Edit 2]
I found that the adjustments packages, solydxk-welcome and rootactions-servicemenu are using gksu/kdesu(do) from code. I'm adjusting and testing those now.

[Arjen Balfoort]

I've uploaded the adjustments packages, solydxk-welcome and rootactions-servicemenu to the testing repository.

I had some trouble with rootactions-servicemenu and had to brush up my pearl knowledge.

[grizzler]

For some reason, the solydxk-system GUI-app still doesn't like my system (or my system still doesn't like it...). I tried the latest version. No issues with the pkexec startup as such, but after that, this came up (terminal):

Code: Select all

The small loading window in the center of the screen wouldn't go away.

[Arjen Balfoort]

Let me guess...you don't have plymouth installed?

[grizzler]

Nope. Got rid of that useless junk years ago.

[Arjen Balfoort]

I've updated solydxk-system. It should work now...even for you

[lafontaj]

I just update EE and LibreOffice does not open anymore.

Any recommendation?

Here the terminal output when launch from there:
