Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Upgrading Synaptic
Am Mittwoch 20 April 2011, um 13:33:06 schrieb Chris Druif: Hello everyone, I know it's too late for new features for natty, so my request is for oneiric. Currently the Quick search feature is disabled by default with a fresh install, however to make it functional only one of it's recommended packages needs to be installed as well. This package is apt-xapian-index (technical information below) which in my opinion is a small package to add a greatly appreciative feature of synaptic. Additional information about it can be found with apt-cache show apt- xapian-index in terminal. Only the python-xapian dependency wasn't installed, who's information I'll also send with this mail. So please consider to add this to the default installation and thanks for considering it. With metta, Chris Druif Technical information: ... I think it does also need to run to create the index before you can use it. I don't if its done only by installing the missing package. I know in KDE world muon packagemanager does update the xapian index when installing (in the postinst script). Synaptic does not do this so it needs to be run manually which might be a little bit complicated when using an automatic build procedure. But in general +1 for this. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Upgrading Synaptic
Which version? 11.04 Beta 2? I don't use Synaptic too. Command line is fast and I can to see better... 2011/4/20 Tim Bernhard ohiom...@gmail.com I don't use Synaptic very often so, while I would like having it for convenience sake, it's not a deal breaker for me.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Upgrading Synaptic
Good morning all, Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents: On 21 April 2011 03:26, Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com wrote: I already tested it on my testing system, and it made my system unusable because of the indexing. I also can't see the real benefit over the regular search option in Synaptic. Regards, Julien Lavergne I agree 100% percent with this. Whenever update-apt-xapian runs my computer becomes completely useless for some time and has also overheated some of my friend's computers. I think something like this is best dealt with by adding a note to the release notes? We do get a fair few questions on this in IRC each release so a note in the release notes would probably assist most users.
