Most excellent find, Greg!

Worked perfectly.
Fixed both testing and SID LMDE's. First time 'alacarte' in SID has worked in over a month. Makes you wonder why the Debian folks hadn't fixed it in upgrades

by **GregE** on Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:57 am

You will not believe this but .....

Today in Sid python 2.7 was updated and the Alacarte fix is not longer required.

Sometimes the world can make you laugh.

the full patch is here http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fi ... btrfs/8024

Thanks for this. But I'm still puzzled. The only btrfs-related package in the Debian repositories is btrfs-tools, containing the now-deprecated tools which you mention. So what and where is the non-deprecated alternative, I wonder? Many thanks.

Todays update is a mega one. 262 MB to download for me. I first made a fresh fsarchiver backup and now hope the best for this:

That amazes me, I got 1 new package and 15 upgrades - from the main server. There are still no more upgrades available as of 2 minutes ago.

I checked the Mint Update icon and saw over 200 updates, and I saw an update in the tracking thread saying Python got fixed (finally!). But when I opened Mint Updater and saw some of those updates are for KDE I fired up Konsole to get the package list.

Hot damn! I love update days. Now I just have to see if python-appindicator is available after the update is done so I can get Webilder working again. I miss getting new walls every day, even if I don't keep all of the ones Webilder finds for me.

ETA: Damn. It still isn't available.

If you are an sgfxi and nvidia user you might find that after today's updates (including mesa) you have to reinstall your graphics driver again. I was dumped into gnome fallback mode until I did that.

dkms

by **viking777** on Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:17 am

dkms

never

Actually now the 290.10 driver is stable now, I could revert back to dkms but I have got so used to sgfxi and I just know that some day I will need it again. I would like to run both at the same time, but they are mutually exclusive, as soon as you run sgfxi it uninstalls dkms. I will live with it for now but if it gets too much of a bother I suppose I will have to go back to dkms.

Yesterday's update to bash wants to stomp /etc/bash.bashrc -- if you accidentally said 'Y,' swap it back in as follows:

Code: Select all: $ sudo mv /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/bash.bashrc.dpkg-dist # hang on to new config $ sudo mv /etc/bash.bashrc.dpkg-old /etc/bash.bashrc # restore mint customized config

mock, you and GregE are great additions, here. Thanks for that.

A recent update of gir1.2-glib-2.0 to 1.31.0-2 (and/or maybe gjs 1.29 to 1.30) broke the Alt-F2 run command prompt in gnome-shell. Any command you try to run to execute something in your path results in a "Command not found" error. See the referenced bugs: 656054 & 816762. The interface to gjs has changed, but gnome-shell has not been updated to use the new interface. We can fix this by manually applying these two patches to gnome-shell: 1 & 2

We just need to get rid of "argc" in a few places, and make a copy of the original for good measure:

Code: Select all: cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/misc sudo mv util.js util.js.pkg-orig sudo bash -c 'sed "s/argc, //" util.js.pkg-orig > util.js'

Don't forget to restart gnome-shell after to apply the changes. Execute "r" in Alt-F2.

This is one of the times when I like gnome 3. Just editing javascript is so much more convenient than recompiling.

by **viking777** on Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:38 am

That is impressive ceykooo.
Not only a very quick bug report, but a solution along with it that works!
And all that in your first post on the forum :shock:
