But I really recommend to wait until UP5 goes official and I finish up the iso.

Yes, something went completely wrong there so just uninstall debian-welcome:

Code: Select all: apt-get purge debian-welcome

I ended up adding the lines to sources.list and am just getting the 1500 or so packages that way. What can I say? I'm impatient.

I'll do that once the du is done. I got about a thousand packages in yesterday when I had to log off so other than checking email and getting my free $5 Starbucks eGift on my card to buy breakfast with it the du is my first priority today.

For the past month and a half now I've been using this LMDE KDE UP4 as my main every day OS and must say it is working with perfect reliability. I don't mind waiting for UP5 / updates, in fact I would like to say that I'd prefer it takes whatever time is needed to do whatever is reasonable to try ensuring a stable system.

Finally I have found something else to report. In KDE System Settings, printer config doesn't work. After a long freeze, it displays the following (I quote):

"The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py'The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.
Possible reasons:
-An error has occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
-You have old third party modules lying around.
Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager."

I couldn't reproduce what you were describing:
System Settings / Printer Configuration / New Printer

I ran:

Code: Select all: dpkg -S system-config-printer-kde.py

Which returned:
system-config-printer-kde: /usr/share/kde4/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py

I verified that "/usr/share/kde4/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py" existed.

You could try to reinstall the package:

Code: Select all: apt-get install system-config-printer-kde --reinstall

That worked!

I'm glad it worked.

Guinea-pigs wanted
UP5 is official (and the servers over-stressed by now) and I'm working hard to get everything done when Clem delivers his UP5 isos.

Clem has interest in DDM for Linux Mint 14 and that's why I've changed about 40% of the code to accommodate his wishes

For the same reason I changed the names:
"Debian Driver Manager" is now "Device Driver Manager" and for those who like to abbreviate: DDM is still correct.
"Debian Welcome" simply becomes "Welcome Screen" (I know, not very creative and I'm open for suggestions).

Again, I need your help.
DDM has changed a lot (WS uses DDM for 90% of its code so there's no need to test that really):

Broadcom logic has changed, thanks to the input of a user who mailed me personally.
Handling for Ubuntu based distributions has been added (but poorly tested so I need a lot of help in this one).
More rigorous handling of ATI (but not tested: no ATI to test on - coding blind is not much fun)

You can download DDM here:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages/device-driver-manager_0.1.0_all.deb
And if you want WS as well:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages/welcome-screen_0.1.0_all.deb

You can start DDM in debug mode:

Code: Select all: device-driver-manager -d

This will generate a log file in your home directory: ddm.log
Add this file to your post when you found something wrong.

When all's well, I will add these packages to the upcoming iso and upload the source to GitHub: https://github.com/Schoelje

Hi Schoelje...

Just installed the DDM .deb with no issues.
Its not on your version of LMDE/KDE
I have it on the old LMDE/XFCE that I added KDE 4.8 to. Also I am tracking Testing.

Upon running

Code: Select all: device-driver-manager -d

It correctly identified my Nvidia card....

I did not install the driver, as I have a later driver 304.48 already installed. I know its not as much help to you as a 'vanilla' install of your .iso, but hope it helps some.. :?:

I don't have wifi.

Here is the output of my ddm.log

Nice job.....

Schoelje: I have ATI graphics, but I'm not sure testing it would help. Mine is the Radeon HD 4200 (support dropped by ATI in the newer drivers). I don't think it would automatically install the legacy driver, but I could be wrong. I have a clonezilla backup of my LMDE KDE, so I could give it a try if you like.

by **Schoelje** on Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:04 pm

Thanks tdockery97, but support has been dropped for anything under the 5000 series.
Sorry for that.

OK.
Results of a 2nd test of device-driver-manager.
This time on a fresh 'vanilla' installation of Unofficial LMDE/KDE RC1. Fully updated.
Installed device-driver-manager. It detected my Nvidia card. I choose to let it install the Nvidia driver. It took quite a long time. (20+ minutes?). I thought it had failed, as it seemingly hung up. System had crashed. I could not close the open terminal. Could not shut down or log out. Forced a hard re-boot. Surprisingly Nvidia had successfully installed.

Do you see that line that starts with:
17-09-2012 19:48:50 execcmd.run INFO [?1876h[1;24r[4l[?25l(B[m[37m[40m[1;24r[H[2J[1;1H[1m[37m[44m

That's when the process is waiting for user input.
I suppose I have to catch that with debconf but I have no clue how to do that...back to the drawing board.

Good Morning...

I was never prompted for use input, after the first request for password.. :?:

I am thinking that the long time the process took had a lot to do with the heavy traffic due to UP5? None the less. It did work... Nice work on that.
We should see more testers once the Update Pack 5 RUSH is over... Perhaps my case was unique..

Appreciate all your hard work.... :wink:

by **Schoelje** on Tue Sep 18, 2012 9:47 am

I'm absolutely positive the process was waiting for user input.
The packages nvidia-support and nvidia-installer-cleanup can show some notes or ask questions.

I'm trying to solve this issue by preseeding the answers with debconf.
I will get back to you with a new deb for you to test.

Now here's the problem:

Could somebody post back the results of this line of code on a Ubuntu machine with Nvidia drivers installed (from repository)?:
Code: Select all
debconf-get-selections | grep nvidia > debconf-nvidia.seed
I don't have an ATI card and I don't know if I have to preseed, if any. Could somebody run this and post back the result?:
Code: Select all
debconf-get-selections > debconf.seed

I only have Linux Mint 13 kde on another PC but this is the output from that if it helps:

I had no issues detecting my Nvidia graphics card and making sure I had drivers installed. The previous version also detected other hardware (I can't recall for sure but I think it was networking chips) but it didn't show up when I tested it last night and this am.

The welcome screen is now respecting my wish not to be shown each boot, although I'm noticing that even when I had just installed LMDE KDE the fonts were pretty big. It may be due to how I have my fonts set up but I'm not sure. I'm including a screenshot to show you what it looks like on my system.

@arjay
Thanks, that means that removing and installing Nvidia drivers won't pose any problems.

@bostonpeng
- The manager detects wireless Broadcom chip sets. Do you have that?
- The fonts must be a personal setting. I can't say I've seen that behavior before. It would mean that the gui would have to make place for the bigger font, resulting in a bigger window. I don't know if that is possible. Let's say it's a "wannahave" but not a high priority. Getting this app to work for everybody is priority #1 for now.

No, mine are all Intel. I wish I had snagged a screenshot of the screen the first time it came up so I could remember what it found. As far as the fonts go I agree that it's probably a local font thing but it's not even a big enough deal for me to poke around to see what's making it so big. I shared the screenshot just to let you see what I'm seeing but not with any intent of trying to get a fix. I had forgotten to save my font settings before the reinstall so I can't even recall what they used to be before the reinstall reset things.

Probably your GTK font settings.
Mine are: Nimbus Sans L (size 11)

by **Schoelje** on Tue Sep 18, 2012 11:47 am

I've uploaded DDM with arjay's fix:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages/device-driver-manager_0.1.0_all.deb
The process should be a lot quicker now, so let me know.
