[Someone to help test from page 5 ?] Apt-sources-update ? (Re Open)

[daniel]

Hi,

As I said in the preceeding post, it does not start Synaptic anymore once "gksu -l synaptic" replaces "synaptic" in that script. So the new version does not start Synaptic. Is that what you wanted ?

Code: [Select]

$ ls repo-speed-test/
backup-n-overwrite-sources.sh*  sources.list
repo_goodlist.txt               sources.list.new

I like good news, and by me work it like a charme.
What's wrong by you?

[melodie]

Leiche, I don't know. Therefore I will look from within another machine later, after dinner (late tonight).

Other people who would be willing to help us test please ?

[daniel]

I used it in my VBOX under KDE4, and it's work there, too.

I've no idea, what is going wrong by you. 

Can i have the output from

Code: [Select]

apt-cache show apt-sources-updateplease?

Description:
 apt-sources-update is a utility that will download the latest PCLinuxOS apt
 sources.list from the main ibiblio server, verify that they
 have been recently synced to the ibiblio server, and test
 all updated repositories for download speed.
 
 Once testing is completed the user will be given a speed
 rated list of repositories from which they can select a
 default repository to use for future software needs.

Okay, thanks is the correct package, and so i'm mess 

[melodie]

I did a shutdown. Then booted and now retry. After I have said (twice) that I want to keep the PASS repository nothing else happens.

I chose 10 days - 28 repos - no megagames - keep PASS info and PASS repos - then no other process seems to be continued.

(confirmed by a " ps aux | grep apt-sources-update " command line)

Leiche, I tried to start Synaptic with update notifier and brought back the result in this one new post: Update manager : ldconfig error message

can you try this package, please

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2077694/apt-sources-update-0.3.1-7leiche2011.i586.rpm

activate it now, then press OK to continue.

Click Valider :Valider (=OK)

Connection successful..
Retrieved new sources.list file.

Select acceptable repos age.... (I select the max)

It runs...

Select your preferred repos from the list... etc...
Select number online repositories (I select the max)

If you want to enable the repos for megagames ? (I choose No)

The following repository exist (my name and so... for PASS, I choose Yes)
The following pass repository exists:
# rpm http://xxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxx@passrepository.com/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2010 main updates nonfree kde4 games

Would you like to keep it? (I select Yes, of course)

The repo speed test has completed and
a new apt sources.list has been saved to your home directory.

Would you like to overwrite your current sources.list file?
(a back up copy of the current file will be made)

That starts looking better !

(Yes !)

Would you like to remove the repo-speed-test working directory from your home folder?

(Yes !)

Hum... so it won't start Synaptic anymore ? Is that what you are expecting ?

[daniel]

can you open a terminal, and type apt-sources-update, and see any errors about gksu -l or something else?

apt-sources-update is now finished.

LEN is my alias for "LANGUAGE=en". Does not work so well...

→ sh: ./backup-n-overwrite-sources.sh: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

means "sh: ./backup-n-overwrite-sources.sh: No such file or directory"

[daniel]

is backup-n-overwrite-sources.sh in repo-speed-test available?
