LMDE BREAKAGES - tracking TESTING

[barko]

Nah don't stand, sit back and chill

Now I have a real problem, the sound recorder don't work, I just get this error but synaptic don't recognize any of the utils mentioned

Had the same error. Try installing gstreamer0.10-gconf (0.10.28-3). It worked for me.

Thanks for that info. It worked for me too. Even better, now Totem works as it should too.

Nice one friend, all up and running.
So it's not a bug they have just omitted to included "gstreamer0.10-gconf" in the updates.


My instincts are good, it was right for a levels 1-3 guy to ask the friendly headbangers group for advice.

edit
Does the missing gstreamer thingy apply do level 5 folk or just level 3?
Would it be worth including in the first post?

I have previously posted my display problems with both the new kernals after full update. I have found that at grub only the two latest kernals are displayed and not 2.6.32.5-686, which works with my hardware. As far as I am aware no kernals are removed at update but how can I change grub to allow me to boot from the older kernal?

I have tried to boot Ubuntu 11.04 with kernal 2.6.38-8 but that just hangs after the initial screen giving a choice of live cd or install.

[ukbrian]

Sorry Fornhamfred I lack the knowledge to help you with your kernel problems but if you do a reinstall the updates are well screwed at the moment, it's only offering 125 updates and gives this error, I tried with 4 different mirrors.

I also noticed the "download package files" screen form with Mint Update needs a little more work done on it. http://lin.me.uk/pics/errors/download-package-files.avi
Nothing urgent but I would think the devs would want to put it right, it just don't resize right, I would also suggest making the next screen form, "Installing Updates" resizable to.

[Wahlgren]

Also have this error, but didn't try different mirrors. Just wait patiently for it to go away...

Edit: "My understanding is that it happens when you try to do an update while the repository itself is in the process of being updated". Found that answer at another forum.

After updating on 13th May 2011, the PC booted to a black screen. The problem was that the Nvidia driver had been updated, but the latest ones don't work with some legacy cards (mine is a GeForce FX5200). The solution is to boot to a command line (as root), then do

Code: Select all

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms

Put the package in 'Ignored packages' in MU, which should stop it being updated again.

[zerozero]

Thanks john2 for reporting this issue
and first post updated

[ChromeMukuro]

i performed updates today, and after doing so audio no longer works. i attempt to turn the volume up and no sound is produced; and after a few seconds a notification (the standard one that comes up when changing the volume) tells me the volume has been changed to 0 (ie it looks like i did it but i most definitely did not.) has anyone else encountered anything similar?

[wangsuda]

Latest round of updates removes xchat (not a problem for me, as I never use it). I believe it has to do with updating libperl from 5.10 to 5.10.1 because when I tried to install xchat, this is the error message I received:

Depends: libperl5.10 (>=5.10.1) but it is not installable

[zerozero]

yep! you just beat to it

xchat was removed in the perl upgrade (5.10 to 5.12)

Code: Select all

Actually did it the correct way:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The error log and broken package list is posted in previous post above.

No, LMDE Gnome. If I do a sudo apt-get upgrade now I get this message about unmet dependencies. I think it is easy to fix, but I am nt an expert in this. Please advice.

X-Chat was removed during update. Not a big issue for me and i guess it can be installed again when the dependencies get fixed. It depends on libperl5.10 but that cant be installed.

There is a fix for the Xchat problem posted here:-

After updating on 13th May 2011, the PC booted to a black screen. The problem was that the Nvidia driver had been updated, but the latest ones don't work with some legacy cards (mine is a GeForce FX5200). The solution is to boot to a command line (as root), then do

Code: Select all

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms

Put the package in 'Ignored packages' in MU, which should stop it being updated again.

Just as an information.
I had the same problem after a dist-upgrade that replaced the Nvidia 173 by the Nvidia 270. After re-installation of the 173 all worked fine again and I decided not to freeze this package update. The 2 or 3 following dist-upgrade didn't propose to remove the Nvidia 173 and to replace it with the 270 again.

Today the dist-upgrade has updated the nvdia-glx-legacy-173xx (and its dependencies) from the version 173.14.28 to 173.14.30. Works fine too.

RE: x-chat

I'm confused as to how I am to proceed with fixing X-chat.

Are we supposed to wait for the Mint LMDE DEV Team to fix this in MU because I have no idea how to proceed or what Oscar777 is telling us to do here.

If someone has a simple step-by-step method to fix this broken X-chat, please instruct me....as I do not understand this:

"xchat is at http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xchat and xchat-common is at http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xchat-common. Select the cpu architecture for your machine at the bottom of those pages, download and then open a terminal, cd (change directory) to where you downloaded the two .deb files and do

Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i xchat*deb



That should install the two packages and you should have a working xchat with all of your pre-existing customizations retained.

If anything here in this thread is not clear, or you want to discuss this more before taking any steps suggested here, install another irc client and go to the irc.spotchat.org server and /join #linuxmint-debian for live one-on-one discussion."

Thank you in advance.

Hi malligt,

the description basically sais that you should download the deb files with your browser from packages.debian.org.
Follow the links, scroll to the bottom of the page, choose your architecture (click on it's name) and then click on one of the links provided as mirrors. Then you get a normal download prompt and you can save the deb files.

From terminal, you can then install them using the dpkg -i nameofthedebfile command.
So cd to the directory you saved the deb files into, then use the given command
sudo dpkg -i xchat*deb
(* substitutes everything between "xchat" and "deb" so it will install both packages because both have this pattern in their filename).
