UP4 no bash-completion, Cinnamon Cursor issue…[solved]

[timh]

I did a fresh install with ISO LMDE 201109 and on Friday update with UP4.

Now I loose bash completion. I tried to overwrite the new with the old one:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /etc/bash.bashrc.dpkg-old  bash.bashrc

No luck - I get then errors in Terminal:

Code: Select all

bash: [: Zu viele Argumente.
bash: [: =: Einstelliger (unärer) Operator erwartet.
bash: [: Zu viele Argumente.
bash: [: =: Einstelliger (unärer) Operator erwartet.

I live now with that, because I need completion. the same errors if I copy int $HOME/.bashrc this:

Code: Select all

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi

I found this errors in .xsession-errors:

Code: Select all

(gnome-settings-daemon:2443): updates-plugin-WARNING **: failed to get upgrades: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_5ftransaction_5ferror.Code4: GetDistroUpgrades not supported by backend

(cinnamon:2490): St-WARNING **: percentage lengths not currently supported

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" 

gnome-session-canberra is installed

I installed a new cursor theme and it works only in some windows:
Firefox OK - in Nautilus only at hover over files or directories, on Desktop the same (only at hover…), not in menu or panel, pidgin only in message window.

Where can I change the main browser from epiphany to firefox? In the System Information there is no firefox to choose.
The new(Gnome3) open with for files sucks, I can only choose in a list from some progs. is not possible to put a command in. What Linus T. said: „…Interface <violates forum rules>…“ is correct

Another Problem:

Cinnamon takes in 10h 275MB memory, think this is to much.
Memory used: 605MB (Cinnamon 275MB)
I restart (ALT F2 r) Cinnamon Shell
Memory used: 598MB (Cinnamon 45MB)
There must be a leak, how can this be fixed?

*Completion: You could try by process of elimination to see what causes the problem.
But basically bash_completion belongs in ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc - last one works for me at least.

*XSession errors: Doesn't seem too suspicous. I thought I solved the canberra problem by installing some libcanberra...

*For deeper system settings: You need to install gconf-editor or dconf-editor
mateconf-editor for MATE.

*Memory leak? Which process causes this?

Thank you, I installed it

*Memory leak? Which process causes this?

I think Cinnamon, because it sucks a lot of memory even the PC still not work and running not another programs.
In 12 hours ~375MB is a lot, I remember there was something with Gnome-shell, it had that problem in the beginning.

You're welcome.

Cinnamon is pretty hungry for resources I suspect. But which memory does it take? Are you looking at Virtual or Resident Memory?
I believe that it works as a shell and as the window manager. So maybe that's normal ...?

it takes resident mem.

I took a look with pmap, this is (short) output:

There are some [ anon ] - I disable now the most extensions/plugins to get the hungry one
I need some time to controll this.

The cursor issue I did a „dirty“ fix - renamed the DMZ-White directory. Now my cursor is working

Code: Select all

tim@lmde ~ $ sudo mv /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White-disabled

The bash-completion is working but bash don't like the old /etc/bash.bashrc - it gives that error:

Code: Select all

bash: [: Zu viele Argumente.
bash: [: =: Einstelliger (unärer) Operator erwartet.
bash: [: =: Einstelliger (unärer) Operator erwartet.
bash: [: =: Einstelliger (unärer) Operator erwartet.

There is an error in the script, I think.
So this post is partly solved

I hope there is a fix in the next update. I have this version:

Code: Select all

tim@lmde ~ $ apt-cache policy bash
bash:
  Installiert: 4.2-1
  Kandidat:    4.2-1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 4.2-1 0
        500 http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/ testing/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Or should I switch to another repository?

[äxl]

I took a look with pmap, this is (short) output:

I also see some [ anon ] in MATE's processes. Should I worry?

The bash-completion is working but bash don't like the old /etc/bash.bashrc - it gives that error:

Do you have the completion in both files? Have you tried it with empty conf files?

I hope there is a fix in the next update. I have this version:

I've got the same version from the same source. On debian.org testing is a newer version which is installable without dependency problems (for me). But I don't think that would solve your problem.

[timh]

Now - since a view weeks - I run Z-shell (zsh) and will never use bash/dash.
No problem with completion and this is a very good shell.
