installing but no progressbars and freeze on isadora

[saxoli]

Hello everyone,

I've tried to install several programs at same time with mintinstall, everything looked good,I got progressbars.

Then in the middle of install and download, I get a forced close of mintinstall.

After this I looked for what packages were installed and which not. A few were installed so I begin to download and install the other ones again.

But no progressbars anymore and mintinstall it's getting "black".

At first I waited a while, maybe it's because of bad internet connection or heavy cpu load, or something else.
Then after minutes I closed mintinstall.

Again I looked for packages... all programs I selected were installed !!

Tried again with one package, the same, no progressbars, "black" mintinstall .... but installed package.

So I reinstalled mintinstall ... but all the same.

Then I removed mintinstall and replaced it with mintinstall 7.2.7 from Julia.

A little bit better now.

Again, no progressbars, but no "black" Window anymore !

Please give me back my progressbars, what did went wrong ?

Thank you !

Greetings

Oliver

Sorry ... I don't understand ????

I've got no problems with mintupdate, I don't want to hold back any package ...

I'm just missing the progressbar when I install new software with mintinstall.

... maybe I get something wrong ???

Greetings,

Greetings,

[willie42]

try installing 1 at a time I am still looking

[willie42]

try this

first lets look for Broken Packages

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -F

you can try this too

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a 

then try to install your packages

[saxoli]

... again thank you very much !

sudo apt-get install -f .... one broken package was found ... I did apt-get autoremove.

After autoremove I tried to download a package in mintinstall ... again download and install works, but no progressbar in mintinstall.

Then I tried ... sudo dpkg --configure -a (don't know what this means) .... same result, no change, no progressbar while installing.

And I have to close and reopen mintinstall to find my new installed packages as "installed" or to get the button to "uninstall".

Again installing works, but I didn't get an indicator what is mintinstall doing, what's the download status, install status.

Greetings,

Oliver

[willie42]

well I will keep looking maybe just maybe one of the Gurus online will be able to help out on this one.

[willie42]

If you can open your package manager and search for mintinstall and make sure its on your system.

[saxoli]

YES !!

I've got mintinstall !!

I even tried two versions, 7.1.7 the original from isadora and 7.2.7 from julia.

In my first post I wrote that 7.2.7 works a little bit better, because it didn't get "black" while downloading / installing packages.

But no progressbar and indicators if download and install is working.

Hi, (why is everyone referring to mintinstall, which is the command-line name for Software Manager? Not very helpful to newbies, is it?)

Anyway I had the same issue with Software Manager, i mean mintinstall, , on Mint 10.10 32bit. Worked slow but OK after installation , but this problem appeared after installing some more stuff. Ubuntu-tweak is the main suspect.
It was a GUI issue. The window would crash but the installation would complete in the background.

After a tedious system re-install preserving the home folder, I found the problem persisted, so I concluded it was a user setting. I trashed any invisible folders in the home folder that could have been related and it was fixed. I had to re-set some stuff like Startup Applications to get my sound card to work, but it was otherwise OK.

So the problem is in the user settings, not a system file .
