Great news, Schoelje, congrats!

I'm reporting that if anyone is by some funny chance yet to update their LMDE KDE to UP6 using your script (such as... me, updating my sisters'), it no longer works right because it still points to obsolete DDM and mint-config packages you've removed from the server. I found the latest with searching, changed their file names and got it to continue, but other users may not figure it out. Just fyi. Thanks for the script though, it's been helpful.

I updated the script. So, things should be right now.

I had the same problem with lmde in a liveusb made with unetbootin using newest live-installer pulled from github less than an hour ago as of time of writing. I used gparted to unmount and format the target mount points (they were non empty) then restarted live-installer and it worked from there on.

Welcome, Varis, to the Linux Mint forum!

Did you start gparted outside live-installer or from live-installer itself (there's a button there to start gparted)?

Hello!

Outside the installer. I tried recreating this problem on a second hard drive with the same mount point setup with only differences in partition sizes and an extra fat32 partition that I can think of. This time the default live installer started installing successfully, though it still seemed it didn't format the targeted partitions that were the correct filesystem, but non-empty.

Sorry, I lost you there :?
Normally you can use gparted before you start the live installer.
I tested this on my own system, and never found a problem.
Can you describe the steps you took so that I can recreate the situation?
Varis

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6

Post by Varis »

Maybe it's relevant that the distribution is LMDE with Cinnamon, not LMDE KDE. I described both of the situations below if you're still interested.

The partition table was like this on the first try:
1. 500mb /boot ext4
2. 3.97gb swap
3. 80gb / ext4

The partitions were pre-filled with another linux distribution. Tried installing to them with live-installer. Kept having the problem zerozero wrote about, so I downloaded live-installer off github, removed "--debug" from test launcher and tried installing. Still got the same problem. Then I launched gparted externally, unmounted (they were mounted on a few folders each) and formatted the target partitions clean. After that I re-launched the downloaded live-installer and it worked.

Second try:
1. 286gb NTFS (made a mistake when I said this was fat32)
2. 494mb /boot ext4
3. 4gb swap
4. 6.9gb / ext4

The ext4 partitions were empty so I mounted them and copied random files off another drive. Ran the default live-installer, configured it, turned off from installing GRUB, started install and it started copying files. Then I looked in the partitions and the random files were still there with the new files that were copied by the installer. It also outputted something to the console about the partitions being mounted. So this time it went past the original problem, though I didn't leave it on for the whole install.

Log of the second scenario:

thanks Schoelje, for this great distro...
is it possible to upgrade kde to 4.9 ? since this package (http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian/) just released?
Schoelje

Re: The unofficial LMDE KDE UP6

@Varis
I'm afraid you have a system specific issue here, and I'm sorry to say I don't have enough time to help you with this: I'd have to dig in deep and that's going to be difficult for the next couple of months. I hope there are others here who had something similar and know what to do.

@ |||
I haven't tried upgrading to 4.9.
Is it in the experimental repositories already?
If you find out, please report all you findings here. I bet there are some people here interested as well.

KDE 4.9's available from qt-kde.debiant.net? Shiny! I'd love to hear how the upgrade works for you. I'm one of the interested folks Schoelje mentioned. 8)

i saw the mail yesterday
José Manuel Santamaría Lema [....] via lists.debian.org

19:50 (20 hours ago)

to debian-kde
Hello,

We have uploaded the most important set of packages of KDE SC 4.9.5 to:

http://qt-kde.debian.net

(qt-kde2.debian.net is down right now, I'm trying to reach the sysadmin)

follow the instructions available there to install the packages. They are
available both for i386 and amd64.

We may or may not provide further KDE SC 4.9.5 upgrades there, if we do,
probably we will write another short announcement mail here.

We may or may not provide KDE SC 4.10 packages there, if we do, we will write
an announcement mail here.

For your information this is the list of _source_ packages uploaded:
exp|main|source: akonadi 1.8.1-0r0
exp|main|source: kactivities 4:4.9.5-0r0
exp|main|source: kamoso 2.0.2+git20130122-0r1
