Re: [Trisquel-devel] Install testing as per the dev meeting 2020/06/05, 2020/06/26 and 2020/07/10
I did some amd64 install testing from the new isos 2020-07-10-11. All but one of the installs were successful. With one exception the installed systems worked as well as can be expected (KDE was a bit ropey in 18.04). First the two issues I believe have enough priority to be fixed before ship. * LE-29 Triskel netinstall fails after tasksel The log screen shows it's because triskel-recommended depends on plasma-nm but it is not going to be installed. * LE-30 In both Trisquel and Triskel trying to create a test local database with LibreOffice Base fails because the sdbc driver is missing. "The connection to the data source 'testdatabase' could not be established. The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the URL 'sdbc:embedded:hsqldb'." When I found this for the second time in Trisquel I found it was fixed by a sudo apt-get install libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb Which also pulled in a few dependencies. HSQLDB databases are the only type of database the user is given the option of creating in LibreOffice Base as shipped. The rest are cos I spent 40 minutes or so systematically going through the Triskel launcher menus and starting each one. Didn't finish all of the menus. As Luis said, they are upstream KDE bugs. * LE-31 launching Kontact opens a two frames, starts Akondai server and then prompts you for your own contact details including email. The original two frames disappear within a few seconds. Might be they're SEGFAULTing. The fact you have to launch Kontact again after creating an email account suggests this might be the case. * LE-32 Amarok SEGFAULTs trying to download the Magnatune (plugin) catalog if you type in a Download account details. * LE-33 Launching Applications > Internet > IM Contacts results in two frames. The top one asks you if you want to configure any IM accounts now. Replying Cancel closes the frames then two or three seconds later the parent frame (empty contacts list) disappears. * LE-34 Launching Applications > Multimedia > Disk Burning (k3b) results ina dialog saying MP3 decoder plugin cannot be found. * LE-35 Applications > Multimedia > KMix doesn't launch anything. It does show a Kmix entry in the panel for a few seconds. i686 testing tonight.

* From my own testing ** LE-17 Triskel needs kwalletmanager and kleopatra (and additonal deps) adding to default install packages. These are the two password and key management packages which provide a GUI to KDE's Password and GPG key management. Much meeded for Kmail if the user follows the default route and either uses their own key or generates one (and sends it to the servers). ** LE-18 xul-ext-kwallet5 depends on firefox or thunderbird but not abrowser or icedove. * Bugs reported on the forum = ** LE-19 paolo reports black screen on boot of Trisquel Mini 9.0 on Atom machines. Interestingly, that doesn't happen on a dist-upgrade from Trisquel 8.0 (Missing driver? - there is one old Intel driver we always forget). Seems to be same as problem LE-13 I've reported. [OP] https://trisquel.info/en/forum/problem-black-screen-trisquel-mini-9 ** LE-20 paolo reports after dist-upgrade of Mini from 8.0 to 9.0 the pcmanfm setting 'Open files with one click' is lost on reboot. Is also [OP] https://trisquel.info/en/forum/problem-black-screen-trisquel-mini-9 ** LE-21 Masaru Suzuqi reports the digitizer on a Wacom One tablet is not supported by Trisquel 9.0 This was self fixed by installing the GPL-2 Wacom support from source here [OP] https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source https://trisquel.info/en/forum/wacom-one-tablet-does-not-work-trisquel-9 ** LE-22 Beformed reports after upgrade to Trisquel 9 resolv service is not working correctly. There is a workaround. [OP] https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-9-not-able-resolv ** LE-23 Connochaetes spotted neither yelp nor mate-user-guide are installed with Trisquel https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-9-graphical-iso-available-testing#comment-145849 ** LE-24 ollonois discovered the desktop screen is shown briefly after resuming from suspend, before the lock screen appears. A security issue. [OP] https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-9-graphical-iso-available-testing?page=2#comment-148773 * From my testing of the 2020-06-16 amd64 graphical install ISOs * ** LE-25 plasma-discover has broken progress bars when doing update. ** LE-26 plasma-discover is missing all but installed apps from its list ** LE-27 Trisquel Mini 'Try' install doesn't save Wifi password for the installed system. ** LE-13 'nomodeset vga=normal' works but it turns out xserver-xorg-video-intel and deps are misssing. i686 media has this after install vga=normal install. amd64 hs it after Trisquel 'Install In Text Mode' was used. publickey - [email protected] - 0x5535734E.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Trisquel-devel mailing list [email protected] https://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-devel
[Trisquel-devel] Install testing as per the dev meeting 2020/06/05
Hi All, Here are the bugs I found in the testing Etiona on various bits of kit I keep around here. All, so far, are with the 2020/05/15-16 amd64 ISOs. * MATE ** LE-01 nVidia 1050 GTX support (kernel really). The kernel is carrying non-free blobs for nVIDIA GM20x and later cards. The default kernel for MATE and presumably all of them supports the nVIDIA 1050 GTX in 4K far enough to provide the greeting screen but crashes on login. It shouldn't even do this, as the nouveau developers indicate [1] GM20x and later nVIDIA cards require the firmware to be signed by nVIDIA and there's little hope of that being allowed for free software. jxself's linux-libre doesn't carry them and correctly hands over to fbdev for 1024x768 on my 28" 4K monitor :-). ** LE-02 Abrowser / Web - stale install link for Privacy Badger plugin It should be https://www.eff.org/files/privacy-badger-latest.xpi ** LE-03 Emacs25 indicates a missing standard GTK package Running emacs25 GUI from the terminal shows a GTK error message indicating libcanberra-gtk-module can't be found. Emacs still runs. This isn't present in either the KDE or LXDE flavours. (They have a different problem). This is fixed by installing libcanberra-gtk3-module. Which should either be a dependency of emacs or in trisquel-desktop-common. * KDE ** LE-04 Booting from the 'Install Trisquel' option on the ISO's menu selects the standard installer not the KDE one. As a consequence the installer issues a message after pairing with WiFi and you are taken to the Try Triskel desktop to investigate further. ISTR this being an issue last release. ** LE-05 (also LXDE) Emacs warns an accessibility service is missing. The error message running GUI emacs from Terminal on both Triskel and Trisquel Mini is (emacs:31646): dbind-WARNING **: 19:07:47.111: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files ** LE-06 plasma-discover says 'Checking for updates' all the time and behaves strangely in general with the stale db. /usr/bin/script recording of the output when run from konsole is after the cut line at [2] ** LE-07 System Settings -> Online Accounts won't configure them. Telepathy is a mess. System Settings -> Online Accounts shows the following message when you try to add an account. 'Following missing providers are required by installed services: google owncloud(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING)' I've added bits of telepathy in the hope of getting it to work. But no luck. It needs further investigation. ** LE-08 'Error malformed URL' when clicking on 'Open in File Manager' from the notification when removable USB media are inserted. * netinst ** LE-09 Netinst on a USB stick doesn't detect supported USB WiFi. It has no problem with supported mini PCIe cards. ISTR way back Debian Installer netinst couldn't see a second USB drive when it was booted from a USB stick itself. ** LE-10 Lot's of 16.04 hwe kernels in the netinst list. ISTR old kernels in the list happened with early betas of the Fildas netinst iso. ** LE-11 netinst fails According to the log console this is because trisquel depends on trisquel-desktop-common which is not going to be installed. This is since the maintenance to a number of trisquel-xxx pacakges happened on Saturday. So having said I can't recreate Friday's #1 on a standard install, I now don't have the opportunity to test it on a netinst install. * * * Next: i686 testing. I'm using Triskel as my daily desktop to see what other problems I shake out.
