Hello
Really good ! How to autostart it ?
have a good day

Dai_trying · 2016-11-05 10:32

Thank you @aldrik, it will auto-start when you boot the machine, you do not need to do anything

aldrik · 2016-11-05 14:27

Thank your for all !

Small changes to the updater as I found a couple of minor bugs, new version 0.0.1-11 fixes them.

Dai_trying · 2016-11-09 21:52

I have added the option to disable unattended upgrades to the context menu (right click), it will only appear if it is configured on.

Reporting an issue, we have tried to run updater with defined delay from command line:
$ apt-updater -d 1
got python error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/dai-apt-updater/updater.py", line 397, in <module>

Fresh Q4OS Orion installation.

Thanks guys, I will investigate and post with a fix (hopefully)

Dai_trying · 2016-12-14 17:08

New Version 0.0.1-16 Fixes this issue.

q4osteam · 2016-12-14 18:16

We can confirm fixed issue mentioned above, thanks.

q4osteam · 2016-12-15 14:43

Just another issue, 0.0.1-16 updater on a fresh Orion system with some pending updates. Ran updater from the command line:
$ apt-updater -d 1 -i 80
Updater correctly reports updates available, click to updater icon to show updates to go -> then click Cancel -> again click to updater systray icon, but no Synaptic window appears anymore. There are a few python errors in terminal too:

TypeError: unsupported type for timedelta seconds component: str

In addition, would it be possible to modify code to check, if APT is ready using Q4OS specific command '/usr/bin/check-apt-busy' ? See the line 86 of 'updater.py'. Command 'check-apt-busy' returns '0' if APT is free, otherwise some non zero value. We suggest you to perform simple test for presence of '/usr/bin/check-apt-busy' file exists in the filesystem, and use it if so, otherwise keep the current 'lsof ...' command.

I have fixed this new issue in Version 0.0.1-17

@Q4OS Team
I did originally code the apt-check to use '/usr/bin/check-apt-busy' but changed it to lsof to allow it to work on both q4os and debian. I removed the check-apt-busy as I deemed it to be unnecessary and to avoid the overhead of using two different methods. I can incorporate it again and like you suggest add a check to ensure it is available and use lsof as a fallback, although I can see no benefit from doing so.

Yes, please do it so, if possible. We consider the 'check-apt-busy' checker as more reliable. Thank you for fixing and developing.

Dai_trying · 2016-12-15 22:25

Updated Version 0.0.1.18 now uses Q4OS check-apt-busy script.

q4osteam · 2016-12-16 08:46

There is probably some mistake, as 0.0.1-18 looks exactly the same as 0.0.1-17.

Dai_trying · 2016-12-16 09:46

My apologies, I didn't move the new source to the installer folder, new Version 0.0.1-19 will fix this.

@Dai_trying
We could suggest you a fix of this issue http://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6110#p6110 , 'apt-get update' could be performed prior to upgrade, if updater detects disrupted backports pinning.

Dai_trying · 2016-12-18 11:18

Ok, I will work on this later today (a few chores to do first ) and post new version when available.

Dai_trying · 2016-12-29 10:06

Apologies for the delay, but now the festivities are coming to an end I had time to finish the fix for this.

New Version 0.0.1-20 should fix this issue

samberry · 2017-04-15 12:49

Thank you i will test that.

Dai_trying · 2017-04-15 15:35

You are welcome samberry, let me know if you find any issues.

crosscourt · 2017-05-07 19:56

Ill have to give this a try Dai and post back.

Dai_trying · 2017-05-07 20:15

Thanks CC, I am planning a major overhaul when I have more free time, I am hoping to implement a update chooser so you will be able to select which updates get installed, and also a hold option (like pinning but not) which will be good for when an update breaks something.

crosscourt · 2017-05-07 20:17

Something to look forward to,

aldrik · 2017-05-08 18:36

Hello, can I install it on Scorpion ?

Dai_trying · 2017-05-08 18:37

Yes, I use it all the time Orion and Scorpion
