New salix-update-notifier, please test (and translate)

[laprjns]

Note that all my flatpaks are installed for my user only, not system-wide.

Code: Select all

rich[Downloads]$ sudo flatpak update
Password: 
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

rich[Downloads]$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

I then ran Salix-update-manager and got the same output as I posted above; no updates listed, but still had to click the Proceed button, resulting in the "All updates have completed successfully " message.

Hi gapan

I installed the new version and it don't seems to be working correct.
It is just trying to "read package lists"



if i run it with "sudo env LANG=C salix-update-manager" in a terminal it shows available packages to update



But there is an error in the terminal

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/salix-update-manager", line 622, in _on_updates_parsed
    if len_slapt == 0 and len_flat == 0:
NameError: name 'len_flat' is not defined

I have updated the Swedish translation.

Running salix-update-manager on the command line throws the same error here.

Code: Select all

rich[Downloads]$ salix-update-manager 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/salix-update-manager", line 622, in _on_updates_parsed
    if len_slapt == 0 and len_flat == 0:
NameError: name 'len_flat' is not defined

Changing line 622 in /usr/sbin/salix-update-manager from len_flat to len_flat_new fixed the issue.

Code: Select all

if len_slapt == 0 and len_flat_new == 0:

@ibka, I thought I had fixed that, but maybe I uploaded the latest packages before I did. laprjns has found the same issue.

@laprjns, are you sure you're using your flatpak user installation? We have flatpak configured to allow use of the system installation if you're in the wheel group.

Can you post the output of:

Code: Select all

sudo flatpak list --system

Code: Select all

flatpak list --system

Code: Select all

flatpak list --user

That said, I intended this to be about the system installation. Right now you need to run salix-update-manager with sudo. However, you got me thinking. Perhaps I could make it so that if it runs with sudo, then the system installation is used and if run as user, the --user option is used (and in that case, slapt-get will not be used at all).

[laprjns]

Here you go. I have never used sudo or su to install a flatpak, but my user is in the wheel group.

Yes, thank you! You're using the system flatpak installation, although you're not using sudo. So, the flatpaks you install are available to all users. This is our default.

If you had used --user when running flatpak, then your flatpaks would only be available to your current user.

I still don't understand why you're getting that blank list though.

[laprjns]

Changing line 622 in /usr/sbin/salix-update-manager to

Code: Select all

 if len_slapt == 0 and len_flat_new == 0:

fixed the problem. Now I get the "..no available update message".

[gapan]

Ah, so that it what I think I have already fixed locally and thought was in the latest package (but apparently isn't). My fix was actually to add this line above that if:

Code: Select all

len_flat = len_flat_new + len_flat_updates

and keep the if as it was.

I will provide updated packages later. In the meantime, you can get the latest code from git and try that:

Code: Select all

git clone git@github.com:gapan/salix-update-notifier.git
cd salix-update-notifier/src
sudo ./salix-update-manager

Just run

Code: Select all

git pull

at any time to update to the latest code.

[gapan]

Alright! Updated packages are at https://people.salixos.org/gapan/salix-update-notifier/

Lots of changes here. If you launch it with sudo, it will work with slapt-get and the system flatpak installation. If you launch it without sudo, it will work on the user's flatpak installation. You'll see an installation selection window if you launch from the menu to select between the two..

And it's now using policykit now instead of gksu/sudo.

All other issues should hopefully be fixed.

You will need to log out/log back in for the changes to take effect.

And there are a few new strings for translation because of the added functionality.

[laprjns]

Installed and quickly tested here. Working as describe, both from the menu and command line.
Thanks
