Some bugs in Q4OS 1.6.3 and a question.

Rademes · 2016-10-12 18:12

Good Day!
I have found some bugs at eight days ago installed system, maybe they are known, but I have not found them in forum.
1. Network Manager, installed from Q4OS Software Centre does not have icon in TDE Start menu.
2. With default TDE panel settings icons in system tray disappear:

This can be avoided by enabling transparency in panel background, but still it `s a bug.
3. How to remove Q4OS Software Update Manager? I always use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for checking and installing updates, so I don`t need it at all.
4. I`m already tired of this Shutdown delay. Is it any way to get rid of it?

1. Yes, Q4OS bug will be fixed in the next release.

2. Yes, it's about known TDE bug https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2687

3. The most easy way to remove q4os update manager:
$ sh /usr/share/apps/q4os_system/uninst_q4inf/uninstall_q4os-update-manager.esh

4. Looks like a Debian issue, please see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=822996

Thank you for reporting.

Re 4 shutdown delay - on my machine it's a 'Hardware Clock Synchronise' running that delays shutdown.

Obviously more than one root cause. Doesn't happen every time though.

Re 4:
I have had this happen to me a few times, although recently it seems to have stopped, and I think it is something to do with not un-mounting correctly so I have been ensuring everything is unmounted before I shutdown which seems to have cleared the issue (for me at least).

This did not work for me as it seemed only to remove the meta-packages and not package-kit or pk-update-icon

'pk-update-icon' package shouldn't be installed by the Q4OS Update manager at all, so the uninstaller should not uninstall it, as Update manager doesn't depend on it since version 1.4. We need to remove 'q4os-pkui' package instead, as it provides checker and systray icon. Did uninstaller remove 'q4os-pkui' for you ? If so, it's ok.

'packagekit' could not be uninstalled, as it is probably referenced as dependent or recommended by another installed packages, you can check it out:
$ apt-cache --installed rdepends packagekit
$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep ^Recommends | grep packagekit
However we don't need to remove 'packagekit', as it doesn't involve in the update process anyhow.

We have performed a testing install/uninstall on a clean Q4OS system, the uninstaller has removed 51 dependent packages fine.

We can verify, if everything works well, if you will put here some logs to analyze.
- run Q4OS Update manager installation.
- attach file '$HOME/.appsetup2/log/setup-q4os-update-manager.log' here
- run uninstallation:
$ sh /usr/share/apps/q4os_system/uninst_q4inf/uninstall_q4os-update-manager.esh | tee uninst.log
- attach file 'uninst.log' here

Edit: fixed typo - replaced 'package-kit' with 'packagekit'

Ok, this may be due to this system being installed around early 1.4 and just updated through to now, my output from the uninstall command was :

dai@q4osdev:~$ sh /usr/share/apps/q4os_system/uninst_q4inf/uninstall_q4os-update-manager.esh

and I checked pk-update-icon as it was not shown to be removed, and I recall it being used in one of my earliest posts about the dialog box problems

dai@q4osdev:~$ apt-cache policy pk-update-icon 
pk-update-icon:
  Installed: 2.0.0-1~bpo8+1
  Candidate: 2.0.0-1~bpo8+1
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.0-1~bpo8+1 0
        100 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.0.0-1~bpo8+1~trinity 0
        500 http://q4os.org/qtderepo/ jessie/main amd64 Packages

I ran apt-cache --installed rdepends package-kit and got this

dai@q4osdev:~$ apt-cache --installed rdepends package-kit
E: No packages found

and cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep ^Recommends | grep package-kit returned no result.
I imagine it is due to being an older install so will back up and do a fresh install when I have spare time. Thanks for your suggestions

q4osteam · 2016-10-13 11:56

There is a small typo in package name: 'package-kit'. Correct name is 'packagekit', sorry for the mistake.

Dai_trying · 2016-10-13 12:01

ok, here are revised outputs

dai@q4osdev:~$ apt-cache --installed rdepends packagekit
packagekit

We guess, you could remove 'packagekit packagekit-tools libpackagekit-glib2-18 gnome-packagekit-session' packages from your system, if you don't need them. These packages was probably pulled in by the old version of Update manager.

Dai_trying · 2016-10-13 16:20

Thanks guys, I think I will be doing a re-install when I have time, I've been using that system as main development station so it's gonna take me a while to get all info from it before wiping.

Rademes · 2017-06-29 10:49

Need to UP this topic, because there still is a problem with Update manager uninstallation.

We need to remove 'q4os-pkui' package instead, as it provides checker and systray icon. Did uninstaller remove 'q4os-pkui' for you ? If so, it's ok.

Uninstaller does not remove q4os-pkui, so I need to remove it manually.

Yes, it's a bug, will be fixed in the next q4os-updater version. Thanks for the report.
