testers wanted for new version of update-notifier 1.3

[rogaven]

Since many users update-notifier miss, I've been looking for a solution and hopefully found.
I've used instead of zenity yad, this was not much changed for version 1.2.
Now I want to check the script of course.

has anyone the locales?


I hope that's OK

attention
the included pot-files are invalid

[daniel]

Update-Notifier must get new translation, all old files are lost...
You can use bash_trans to create a pot file of update-notifier. Open /usr/share/apps/update-notifier/ and try a right click on update-notifier, and update-notifier-launch. Use Translation Bash scripts, next step is, open it with poedit and translate it...

Good luck

ps.: update-notifier works here so far well...

I need instructions on installing the package, please

Something like
rpm -Utf ~/Downloads ~/melodies_notifier
./update-notifier
 

[daniel]

open synaptic and search for rpm-installer, install it. Load the package, right click and try rpm installer

Good Luck

In deutsch:
Update-Notifier muss neu übersetzt werden, da alle bisherigen Dateien verloren gegangen sind.

Sie können bash_trans nutzen um eine pot Datei zu erzeugen. Öffne /usr/share/apps/update-notifier/ und führe jeweils einen rechtsklick auf upate-notifier  und update-notifier-launcher aus. Wähle im Kontextmenü  Übersetzen von Bash Scripte, nächster Schritt die update-notifier_de.po mit poedit in Ihrer Sprache zu übersetzen.

Nun alles klaro?

Installed!
It required yad dependency and I installed it.

But it still wouldn't install by right-click in Dolphin


but my lovely Krusader did it

Shows the updated and new packages.

Minor glitch: if you choose option "Update with Synaptic" the well known "You must run this program as the root user." warning appears and Synaptic doesn't start. Otherwise Synaptic starts normally from the menu.
This is on LXDE fully updated.

please read here which must be clarified at first

Yo man,
I am aware.

Synaptic starts fine here from the panel, from the menu and from Terminal. But from Update-notifier it throws that message and doesn't start.

[Vorteggs]

Here's the command line for Synaptic in the Menu:
gksu -u root /usr/sbin/synaptic

Well, some analysis
In Terminal both
/usr/sbin/synaptic
/usr/bin/synaptic
give the same error but
gksu -u root /usr/sbin/synaptic
gksu -u root /usr/bin/synaptic
do well.

[rogaven]

from terminal

Code: [Select]

$ synapticwhat happens? no work

and if you follow the instructions of the last link then work
correct?

your desktop.files use gksu, no problems

[Vorteggs]

from terminal

Code: [Select]

$ synapticwhat happens? no work

Correct.

and if you follow the instructions of the last link then work
correct?

Don't want to change things because they work, sorry.

But what I noted is that from update-notifier I can open Synaptic and can't "Install by Synaptic".
Here are some lines from the update-notifier script about this:
lines 329 - 337

if echo "$RET" | grep $"Open Synaptic package manager"; then
      gksu synaptic
      UPDATE_REFRESH="true"
   fi

   if echo "$RET" | grep $"Install updates using Synaptic"; then
      $SYNAPTIC_UPDATE && yad --info --height=150 --title="Update-Notifier" --timeout 3 --text=$"\nSynaptic is done. "
      UPDATE_REFRESH="true"
   fi

This is the menu and the second item gives the error but the first - no.

Now
lines 80 - 84

if [ "$SYNAPTIC_HIDE_MAIN" == "true" ]; then
      SYNAPTIC_UPDATE="synaptic --hide-main-window --non-interactive -o Synaptic::AskRelated=true --update-at-startup --dist-upgrade-mode"
   else
      SYNAPTIC_UPDATE="synaptic --update-at-startup --dist-upgrade-mode"
   fi

May be gksu is needed to be added?
like
SYNAPTIC_UPDATE="gksu synaptic --hide-main-window --non-interactive -o Synaptic::AskRelated=true --update-at-startup --dist-upgrade-mode"

[rogaven]

We may now rewrite everything, but the call of Synaptic should also function normally. Previously it went.
But I want to wait, even if someone responds to the use of consolehelper.
