Hi gapan
It is not working correct, the same problem i reported earlier It is just stuck to "read package lists"
if i run it with the following in a terminal it works:
Code: Select all
sudo env LANG=en_US.utf8 salix-update-manager
or
Code: Select all
sudo env LANG=C salix-update-manager
if i use:
Code: Select all
sudo env LANG=sv_SE.utf8 salix-update-manager
or
Code: Select all
sudo env LANG=da_DK.utf8 salix-update-manager
it is not working.
It seems to be some problems with translations.
There is no error messages in the terminal now.
I have tried it on another computer to.
The Swedish translation is updated.

I tried both these command with and without sudo and they are working fine here.

I just tried the following on my other computer:
Then run salix-update-manager and it works, so it seems to be something with flatpak and translations that stop it to work.

Thanks for the detailed report ibka! I think I have it fixed now. There are new packages in the same spot.

Hi gapan
There is something strange going on with salix-update-manager.
I got two update notifications, if i click on the first (it don't asks for password) it says that there is no updates.
If i then click on the other it asks for password and there is updates available (1 packages and 2 flatpaks).
if i run "$ ps ax | grep salix" command in a terminal i get the following result (after i installed the available updates):
Code: Select all
$ ps ax | grep salix
3421 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/salix-update-notifier
3697 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/libexec/salix-update-notifier-loop
5991 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/libexec/salix-update-notifier-loop
10988 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/libexec/salix-update-notifier-loop
13997 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto salix

Thanks again ibka for the report!
The first notification is for the flatpak user installation. You shouldn't be getting the notification if there are no updates (and in fact if you have no flatpaks in your user installation).
The second one is for the flatpak system installation and/or slapt-get.
I believe the problem is again the different locale and I think I have fixed that in the new packages here:

Hello All,
Translation for italian language is complete as of today.
However, when launching salix-update-manager I noticed that some windows are fully translated whereas some of them have some sort of mix.
Here's the link of the screenshot for your reference (

Hope this helps.

Antonio

Thank you Antonio!
I just uploaded new packages, it should be OK now, please confirm.

Hi gapan
I just updated to the latest package "salix-update-notifier-20251024-x86_64-1gv.txz" and noticed that the Swedish (sv) language is not fully translated.
It is fully translated on Transifex
