Update
Just updated it, sadly there still seems a bug. It again not reads its Password when started from XFCe menu entry.
When started from non root console trying 3 times to give it the correct password I get this:
Code: Select all
@porteus:/proc/20039$ shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
@porteus:/proc/20039$ echo $?
0
(The above shell-init error occurs when I started it, even prior giving the first time the password...)
Now, again the only way to run it seems to be from a root terminal.
And this again give an error, but a different one:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# ( usmgui & )
root@porteus:~# widget_comboboxtext_input_by_file(): Couldn't open '/tmp/usm.6xZsVj/sbo-categories.tmp' for reading.
root@porteus:~# file /tmp/usm.6xZsVj
/tmp/usm.6xZsVj: directory
At least now its temp dir exists.
And its temp dir hold this at startup:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# l /tmp/usm.gXOE0d/
total 24
drwx------ 2 root 200 2014-05-08 05:55 .

(Yes, that's from a new session of USM, therefore the different temp dir name...))
But sadly, it still creates an error when updating databases:
Code: Select all

==============================================================================
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

One or more errors occurred while usm was running:.......................

sh-4.2#.
And now, the single database updates no longer works, and it removed its temp working dir as it seems:
Trying to update slackware database just gives me this terminal window:
And the terminal from which I started it gives me no error (unlike 3.1.0 version), but asking for its temp dir I realize it now no longer exists::
Code: Select all
# file /tmp/usm.6xZsVj
/tmp/usm.6xZsVj: ERROR: cannot open `/tmp/usm.6xZsVj' (No such file or directory)
...
For now, I try restart USM and try the manual updates of all other databases...
And the first one gives a new error, hopefully not a critical one:
Code: Select all
sh-4.2# usm -u slackware
Starting slackware database update.
Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE
Downloading: CHECKSUMS.md5 DONE
Downloading: MANIFEST.bz2 DONE
Downloading: PACKAGES.TXT DONE
Downloading: LIBS.TXT.gz DONE
File verification was good.
Optimizing manifest
sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression
slackware database updated..
You can now close this window
After this manual update, USM again deleted its temp dir... Running another manual update works when I create the same temp dir manually, though:
Code: Select all
sh-4.2# usm -u slacky
Starting slacky database update.
Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE
Downloading: CHECKSUMS.md5.gz DONE

File verification was good.
Optimizing manifest
sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression
slacky database updated..
You can now close this window.
And again with the sed error... Same with the alien and ponce database: USM deletes its temp dir afterwards, and the same sed error in the terminal it displays.
/off topic:
Isn't its creator "Jay Flood" the same "Jayflood" who used to be on slax and Porteus forums?
