Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
Thanks. Wouldn't have proceeded with the uninstall before reporting what it wanted to uninstall, but an accidental key press... I will check now if everything looks right.Schoelje wrote:TeaSwigger wrote:This also uninstalled:

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
All seems well. It now reports LMDE KDE Edition like it should.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
My most sincere congratulations Schoelje. Every time Linux Mint Debian Edition KDE (LMDE KDE) is getting better and works spectacularly well ..... It shows your effort on this issue, it really has been a wonderful ...... Congratulations !!!!
I still do not understand how the Linux Mint Team does not make it official, it's really perfect. Great job, continuing this same road. Best regards .... Jose Manuel.-

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
I think we now ironed out all the issues that remained since you first installed LMDE KDE.TeaSwigger wrote:All seems well. It now reports LMDE KDE Edition like it should.
And if you're at it, you can also install DDM with the two bugs solved:

Schoelje,
i can't install it
64bit version live-usb made with dd, md5 checked ok
live-installer stops at Setting Keyboard options (and it's there for more than 20 min now)
this is the relevant part (i think)

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
i'm trying again and noticed something probably related
the installed never actually copies files to target (it flies through that part in seconds) and the localizing and setting keyboard (that if i recall should be the last part or close to the end) is reached in less than one minute.
i'm downloading again the iso (this time direct d/l) will make a new live-usb when finished and report back

So, it either cannot copy to /target where your HD is mounted or...it cannot read from your USB
I'm running an install now, and it actually is copying (and that takes a lot more than a few minutes).
Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
yep the issue has to be there
i was now browsing that partition and it's virtually empty so the self.do_copy_file(sourcepath, targetpath) is failing
i hope it just fails for me

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
i changed a few variables so it's going to be hard to pin-point where the issue was but now with
- new iso d/led via direct download (previously via torrent)
- md5 checked ok (previously also)
- live-usb made with unetbootin (previously with dd)
- the usb and target partitions are the same both times
it's actually copying the files (and taking that time we know )
guess it's one of those quirks that we better not try to explain

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
I'm also receiving enumerate errors when connecting my mobile phone. I'm pretty sure my cable is messed up, I read somewhere that this could cause these errors, or if you're not supplying enough power to the hard drive. But if your hard drive is working when you boot other distros, this might not be the problem. Anyway, just thought I should share.BostonPeng wrote:I think I spoke too soon.

I have to plug my laptop in to run it (stupid old battery) but I did have a number of other tasks running so I'm hoping to try when I have few to no other things running. What threw me is that I had it working on LMDE KDE UP6 and then it didn't work, but I had been running a few other things that may have been getting in the way.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
I hope to replace my Mint KDE partition with the unofficial LMDE KDE soon but I want it to point to sid. Can someone tell me what the sources are that I need to change, or point me to somwhere that has the info because I'm not sure from my searches that the sources I have found are current. Thanks.

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
Schoelje, I just installed grub customizer and try to change the image background with my personal pict, but it wont happen before i delete the lmdekde_theme (the one saying that if grub background=lmde.png or something like that)
I don't have screenshot (forget to took it) but I think that script isn't needed.
With that script, even if I remove the lmdekde.png from /boot/grub and put another pict (newpict.png), the grub background won't use the newpict.png. It's black instead.
update-grub recognize that pict: but it won't use it on real grub (because of that lmdekde_theme script)
I don't really know the script location, but I can see it from grub customizer and i can remove it from there. Now my grub showing my pict again
oh, and i tracking sid repo right now
@ ChipButty look here Craigevil's Giant Debian /etc/apt/sources.list and dont forget to remove your apt-preferences before upgrade

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6
lol, i've just finished edit my post, not knowing that you've answer it
well, dont you think that the script need a fix? i don't know how, but Main edition can have it's grub background, and if user want to use another pict, one can simply copy the pict to /boot/grub, remove the old pict, and run sudo grub-update. With that script, even if grub-update recignize the file, it won't use it..
