From mrvanes at gmail.com Wed Dec 2 13:20:19 2015 From: mrvanes at gmail.com (Martin van Es) Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 14:20:19 +0100 Subject: Kubuntu backports or CI Message-ID: Hi, I've been using Kubuntu for a very long time now and was always happy to find freshly baked binaries that followed KDE development at a close pace in backports. Lately it seems kde-backports did not (yet) catch up on KDE's release of e.g. Frameworks 5.16.0 or Applications 15.08.3? The main reason for using Kubuntu was the ease of debian package management and the ease of upgrading when KDE released new versions. Is the lack of backports to Wily collateral damage of the Jonathan Ridell stepping down? Or, do I need to look closer at CI? If so, I find the CI documentation a bit rough on the edges, since the only wiki page I find: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs#Kubuntu_Continuous_Integration_.28CI.29 mentions Weekly Snapshot, Daily Snapshot and Live but the PPA's they point to are either empty or contain packages built against git versions, while I am looking for stable release builds (fka backports). Can anybody shed some light on this backports/update spaghetti and tell me if there are plans to get backports back to what it used to be or where to start with CI? Is there a CI setup, that resembles what I experienced using backports?

Could be something else but that is the issue 95% of the time. Can you get to the recovery boot screen? If you don't know how to get there press the shift key just after the machine starts booting and hold it down so that you force grub to show itself. Once you see the grub menu, choose Advanced options, then choose the first recovery mode. After the old-timey menu appears, enable networking, drop to a root shell and type in "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" without the quotes. That will make sure that everything is up to date and may fix your problem. Also type in "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" to make sure the driver is installed. (Note: you are in a root shell, do NOT use sudo) Unfortunately I have no experience with Intel graphics so if somebody else doesn't answer, google is your friend. I only googled about for the intel driver name so it may not be the correct one, but i think it is - so you might want to make sure about that first. -Alan On Wednesday, December 02, 2015 4:24:53 PM Billie Walsh wrote: > Further information.

Or, do I need to look closer at CI? Continuous integration is only used by the developers, as Continuous integration is a method to test packages as they are built, do you can safely ignore that. If you are interested on how continuous testing works, I suggest you have a look at this page instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration ... > > Can anybody shed some light on this backports/update spaghetti and tell me > if there are plans to get backports back to what it used to be or where to > start with CI? Is there a CI setup, that resembles what I experienced using > backports? Basically there are only two PPA's that are meant to be used for stable packages: the updates PPA, and the backports PPA: apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports The only other interesting one for the average user could be the repository for Beta releases, as Beta packages are usually fairly stable: apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta Since we have many new people on board to help with packaging, there is some learning to do, and they all work on this on their free time, so a little patience is needed..

Anyway, what did you change before this problem happened? You might have something missing in your installation In any case, when there are problems with Akonadi, the easiest way is to run this on a command line: akonadictl start this should restart the server, and alternatively give some information on what is wrong. With the exact error messages we could then try to help further.

How do I install the full documentation, or rather, how is it organized into packages in Kubuntu?

It tells me that the package kphotoalbum version 4.4-2buiild2 is is installed already, but the version from dominik-stadler ppa, 4.6.2, is asking for packages that do not exist in any your repo or ppas. Just tested this using a vm of 14.04, with the kubuntu-backports ppa added, and I get the same errors However, this is easily fixed. use ppa-purge to remove the ppa, which I am guessing you got from ther kphotoalbum website, and add the kubuntu-backports ppa, if you haven't already, for the latest stable KDE 4 packages $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:dominik-stadler/dsta-trusty-ppa $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/ppa then update followed by a dist-upgrade, and it should all work. We are replacing the trusty-specific ppa which seems broken, with his normal repo - kphotoalbum was updated 35 hours ago, probably he mis-configured the package, > >Date: Sun, 06 Dec 2015 20:14:45 -0500 > >From: Clay Weber > >To: kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com > >Subject: Re: Problem upgrading kphotoalbum > >Message-ID: <1708400.qWBb4ghjWC at jake-latitude-e6420> > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > > >On Sunday, December 06, 2015 05:31:30 PM James R McKenzie wrote: > >> Any ideas on how to fix this?

If they are present in /etc/apt/sources.list.d on a Debian distro (like Kubuntu) then apt-get/apt/dpkg/muon/whatever will be looking for updates in those PPA's. If you really, really want to make sure you can look at an installed package for the version then look in the official Ubuntu repository to make sure they are different. Example: Let's check Kmail in a terminal and see what version I have installed (running Kubuntu 14.04 LTS) me at mycomputer:~$ aptitude show kmail Package: kmail New: yes State: installed Automatically installed: no *Version: 4:4.14.3-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa3 *<----------look here Priority: optional Section: mail I have version 4.14.3 from the ppa installed. You can use apt-cache show kmail instead of aptitude but I really like aptitude for some things so that is what you get :-) If your version doesn't have a "ppa" at the end or if you want to explore what the official repositories have, this is one way to do it. You can use wget or a browser to get the file http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz and uncompress it. Open it up and search for Kmail using the search term "Package: kmail" (no quotes obviously). The entry for Kmail starts like this: Package: kmail Priority: optional Section: universe/mail Installed-Size: 5447 Maintainer: Kubuntu Developers Original-Maintainer: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers Architecture: amd64 Source: kdepim *Version: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1 *<----------look here See? The official Ubuntu repositories has version 4.13.0. Easy-peasy once you know how. -- Alan ...

This is because of the Kubuntu KDE team hasn't caught up with the KDE releases (it's 15.08.3 upstream now). That's what I've read in another message on this list. Thanks for your mail!

I asked about your problem in the #plasma channel in IRC, where the developers told me to ask you to file a bug on http://bugs.kde.org on "plasmashell -> Multiscreen". You can get your Plasma version by doing in Konsole: plasmashell -v like this: $ plasmashell -v plasmashell 5.4.3 It is a known problem, but they need more information. It will help them if you will report this bug.

It used to work, and I can still do that with a windows computer, so the android phone is not to blame. I recall that previously ifconfig would show that I am connecting through a usb0 device. Now it has a strange name "enx86fe93fa90d8"... The computer does get an IP address from the phone, but I can neither ping the phone itself (the "gateway") nor ping any website or IP address on the net. All the other parameters do not say a lot to me, but I am including those as output here below. Anyone has encountered this problem? Any idea why it fails to work?

It's something that happens on all of them, including my 12.04 rig. During bootup, various links are made, (in the /media dir), to the various USB connections. If you have a movie in your DVD drive, you'll _usually_ get the name of the movie as one of the links. If it's a device of some sort, you _might_ get the make/ model/manufactures info, or a really odd looking, randomly generated alphanumeric, such as the one you report below. Further, if your device is a USB harddrive, Which received a name like, "/Alternate", during OS install, or from a formatting util like fdisk, then when typing, "ls /media", you might get, "/Alternate", "USB(N)", or, "enx86fe93fa90d8". As it kept changing for every bootup, the script I made to find/change it for my USB hardrive, may be useful to you, (with appropriate mods). 1st, make a simple empty text file on your dev, and give it a handy name like, "devcheck", or you can make do with an allready existing file, as long as it's unique between devices. Next, you want to make a bash script that runs automatically, with each bootup, and put in it, something like the following: ls -1 /media >/tmp/dirlist # makes a one column dir list while read ADir # reads one dir name from list do if [ -e /media/$ADir/devcheck ]; # see if, "devcheck", exists then echo "$ADir" >/tmp/Alt ; break # if it does, store it # and exit loop fi Alternate=$(cat /tmp/Alt) ; export Alternate # make sure future # shells get the msg done Hi, > > perhaps after the latest upgrade to 15.10 my computer can no > longer connect to internet via android mobile phone connected > via usb cable.

Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 21:57:11 +0200 Subject: lost ability to tether using android phone Message-ID: Thanks but I think I did not quite get the message accross. The problem is not my phone as a storage device. The storage I can access. The problem is that it no longer functions as a working network device. And it appears to be working - the computer does get an ip address from the phone - but i can not get any data accross the link. for now I am just using the phone as a wifi hotspot to solve the problem. Which is ok if I have connection to the charger, and not ok if I have to work on battery power. Donatas G. 2015-12-18 10:36 GMT+02:00 Bill Vance : > > > I hate it word wrap when it does this.

I've had problems getting DBus working for a long time. I think I've finally found _a_ reason why, though there may be more than one, but here's where it just starts getting wierd. I hope someone knows how to fix this. When I use, "ListDBus", I get: ListDBus Exception in thread "main" org.freedesktop.dbus.exceptions.DBusException: Cannot Resolve Session Bus Address at org.freedesktop.dbus.DBusConnection.getConnection(DBusConnection.java:267) at org.freedesktop.dbus.bin.ListDBus.main(ListDBus.java:53) When I try, "DBusViewer", I get an unbelieveable amount of stuff. There isn't enough room in bash's buffer to hold it all. When I try to capture it with, "DBusViwer >>fil", as above, most of the lines are printed out again, and are prefixed with, "at". Then in the file, "fil", again there is an unbelieveable amount of stuff, but each line seems to be prefixed with, "visit", and it seems to be different, if some of it, similar, stuff. Anyone got a handle on DBus?

But that is true also for backing up a live non-encrypted homedir. The workaround people usually follow is to either use snapshots or 'volume shadow copy' etc., Or I don't know. Personally I believe.... the model is really that backing up encrypted files is not really the wise thing to do. This is because you cannot compress encrypted files, for one thing. Furthermore, you are also dependent on the software solution (eCryptFS) for restoring it the same and you get the added complication that you need to know how the encryption is done so you'll be safe decrypting it on another system. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an alternative means of encryption that is supported by default everywhere. For instance, I like "ccrypt" but it is not available on OpenSUSE distribution. It's easier to get it on Windows than on OpenSUSE. Then there is aescrypt but it is not available by default in Linux I think. But the general form of encrypting something is something like: tar -c | gzip -1 --rsyncable | aescrypt -e -p - | split -b 4096m -d -a 3 - . Although that exposes the key on a multiuser system. It might give low performance, at which point you might need something like. tar -c | buffer | gzip -1 --rsyncable | aescrypt -e -p - | split -b 4096m -d -a 3 - . or something of the kind. Splitting the backup is only useful for 'wire tranfers' in which even rsync may choke on large files. Keeping files smaller than this 4GB in my experience makes it easier to transfer the entire thing. Although it is not as pleasant to store a backup in this way. But I guess if the need arises you can recombine with "cat *.00? > completefile.tgz.aes". Not sure if this helps though, but it something to consider. Regards, Xen.
