Sorry Schoelje. We cross post and I did not see your new explanation... :oops:

hi Schoelje,
i have here an interesting error :lol:

it's the first time i see it but thinking about it it can/could be a lot more frequent in mint

Code: Select all: zerozero@test-ups ~ $ ddm -d INFO Write debug information to file: /home/zerozero/ddm.log INFO Machine info: Linux version 3.2.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-12) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 INFO DDM version: 0.5.0 INFO 3.2.0-4-amd64 INFO Used graphics driver: nvidia INFO Used wireless driver: ath INFO Checking your hardware...

- MU runs once every 15 minutes (default settings);
- if ddm runs at the same time, nvidia-detect is not installed (obviously)
full log here >> http://pastebin.com/pxU2HsvP

as i said this should be one in a million chance but the worrying part is that all would be silent (MU runs silently, ddm would fail silently because most users are not gonna use it in debug mode)

GeneC, try to start with

Code: Select all: ddm -d

I think that would help!

Did you also run the script (or at least not having Plymouth starting at boot)?

So, when starting I will have to check if I can get a lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock.
That shouldn't be to difficult.

Ah, I see what you mean. It'll be "Device Driver Manager", but starting from terminal will be "ddm".
I'm not much of a designer, so if you feel like you can improve the icon (or tell me how I can do it in Gimp)...

I mean in menus, DDM is a bit non-descriptive

Tried adding a border to the logo but tbh it looked horrible so nevermind! If anyone uses DDM in gnome shell, the icon will more or less disappear against the dark backdrop of the dash, for instance.

@zerozero:
I've added a function to check whether or not /var/lib/dpkg/lock is locked.
It shows a dialog when it's locked and quits the program or quits installation if you locked the file after starting DDM.

You can re-download the same deb file if you want to try it out:

My bad! I've accidentally uploaded the new deb to the wrong directory.
I changed the file name so it should work now.

@zerozero
So, if I understand you right, switching from nvidia to nouveau and back to nvidia again went as expected?
How did the wireless and kernel part go?

In the mean time I started to adapt Debian Plymouth Manager:

by **zerozero** on Sat Dec 15, 2012 5:45 pm

yep, Schoelje,
regarding nvidia/nouveau all as expected
(in this box i don't have broadcom and this was a 64bit install so i couldn't check those items)

by **Schoelje** on Sun Dec 16, 2012 6:18 pm

Has anyone been able to test this with ATI, Intel, even VIA cards?
I've been switching away on my machine without a problem, but as you know, I only have nvidia.

Broadcom switching works, but I had a problem once.
It could have been a one time glitch, but I'd like to hear it from you.

If DDM is done (or at least stable enough), I want to include it with the new Debian Plymouth Manager in LMDE KDE UP6.

by **zerozero** on Sun Dec 16, 2012 8:02 pm

i have a problem here:
raring 32bit installed in the laptop with intel and broadcom (perfect scenario); i can't run ddm, it always gives Could not get lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock.
always! no matter what i do, even if right after i use apt and it's unlocked

I couldn't reproduce your issue, but the output was a hint that I had to better catch the output of lsof.
A warning is not something to worry about, however, the function handling lsof only expected to get something returned from lsof when there is a lock and if it gets nothing returned, it assumed there was no lock.
So, I changed the function to check in lsof's output for the locked file. If it finds the path to the locked file, the file is locked:

Could you try it again?

not a clean broadcom handling in raring
when i open ddm i'm offered 2 options

tried the first one (lpphy-installer) and no working broadcom afterwards

1ddm.doc: (20.66 KiB) Downloaded 4 times

tried then the second option (bcmwl-kernel-source) and same as above (no working net)

2ddm.doc: (21.48 KiB) Downloaded 1 time

note that in both situations after performing the driver selection and ddm give me the indication that the process was finished the option was still not ticked (as you can see in the shoot above)

i managed to make it work installing bcmwl-kernel-source tho synaptic

broadcom install.doc: (1.17 KiB) Downloaded 26 times

the odd bit is that ddm *should* have done the same but failed
