Moreover, have you tried in these days after the UP the GDebi Package Installer?
I've tried it 2-3 times installing packages and each time it doesn't complete the installation: I have to kill the process.
However after that the package was installed. So it seems that GDebi Package Installer cannot finalize something... and it is stuck.

I can confirm this issue. I thought it was only me so I didn't say anythings... :(

It's not from Debian, it's from SolydXK. Originally this tool appeared here (before the author went to create SolydXK).
thanks for the correction. I though it comes from debian since it has 'debian' on his name.

@palimmo: you can grab the tool from solyxk's repo. that package only depends on plymouth so I think it should be working on LMDE. there are also a command tool to change the theme via terminal but I forgot what is it.

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.solydxk.com/production/ solydxk main upstream import kdenext

it works! (even if I have only debian splash screens with debian symbol available and that one of linux mint I told before.. but it's ok).

Now the only problem is Gdebi Package Manager...

EDIT: I have noticed (with Banshee at least) that when I start this software the volume becomes suddenly 100%!
Here a workaround:

Since UP8, I have used Gdebi at least in 3 occasions and in each case the installation (apparently) didn't finish.
Packages were google-talk-plugin, google-chrome and debian-plymouth-manager.

Try installing the newer version of GDebi from Debian Testing repos.

I have installed Gdebi 0.9.3 (0.9.1 was available with UP8) from Debian testing repo --> http://packages.debian.org/jessie/admin/gdebi
Installation is easy, only gdebi and gdebi-core are updated.

Now, I need to test with a .deb ;)

It's not working...

I installed mint-backgrounds-julia and it went fine. Then I tried mint-backgrounds-helena and Gdebi didn't closed... :(

If it crashes with segfault, you can find the segfault message in the dmesg output. Run this right after crash:

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail
