I have now tested installing Trisquel 32bit, 64bit, LXDE and gnome edition.
Even netinstall. The result below:
Tested with 32bit version of Trisquel mini but with the same error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-session_4.10.1-0ubuntu1~ppa0.12.04.1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Tested clean install and first thing I do is open terminal and run commands
in this order and then get the error messages quoted above:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install xfce4
I also tested with fresh install and in 32bit do a direct install of XFCE and
under 64bit update the system and then install XFCE, not adding 4.10 and 4.12
repository. Installation worked great and "XFCE Session" popuped in the
desktop list in login window but when logging in the screen flash and back
again at login screen. Now tested to add repository and install latest
version. Again the same error message as above and now "XFCE session" is gone
from the login screen. XFCE just do not want to work in Trisquel mini for me.
I tested to install XFCE in 64bit Gnome edition. Fresh installation of
Trisquel Gnome and then ran the command below. Logged out, choose "XFCE
session" in login screen and there it was, XFCE4 4.8.
sudo apt-get install xfce4
To update XFCE and rest of the system i ran these:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
At the end I get this error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-session_4.10.1-0ubuntu1~ppa0.12.04.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
After that "XFCE session" is now gone at login screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Netinstall is the only way for me to get newer version then 4.8 of XFCE to
work. Is their a fix out there that I have not found? Is there something I'm
missing?
Tested a fresh netinstall of Trisquel. Only console installation. No Triskel,
mini or other alternative.
sudo apt-get install xfce4
sudo apt-get install gdm
rebooting system and log in. GDM looks horrible XFCE is ugly.
sudo apt-get install synaptic
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
rebooting system again. GDM look as ugly and default XFCE with no extra at
all but a bit better. 4.10 is installed. But it is nice with a clean
installation. All the programs can be installed manually so it isnt a big
deal.
Am I the only one with this problem regarding XFCE installation? Is maybe
Virtualbox the problem?
