USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

[tome]

OK. I found it - devel module must be activated (LXDE) to search all databases. Must be so?

[brokenman]

No, the devel module should not have any impact on USM unless you are wanting to build from SBo in which case at least the 'make' command will be needed. This is checked and a message given if not present. Let me double check this.

[roadie]

Checking dependencies through USM on wmweather-2.4.5-i486-1ponce gives 'this is not a valid file' error.
Running 'usm -l shows the package installed. It shows the same error on other packages.

EDIT: Disregard, it was a syntax error on my part.

@Slaxmax: I just spent the last 2 hours trying to work it out. Im not sure but I think there may be something wrong with the eet-1.7.8-i486-1ponce.txz package that is causing a problem with USM. If I do usm -g eet I get error

Code: Select all

/usr/share/usm/funcpackageGet: line 69: declare: 104 104: syntax error in expression (error token is "104")

If I remove lines 68-71 from /usr/share/usm/funcpackageGet it will let me download it but doesnt help with downloading enlightenment-0.17.4-i486-1ponce.txz with USM.
If your looking for a temporary work around, download gslapt with USM then add http://ponce.cc/slackware/slackware-14.1/packages/ as a source. If you search enlight it will list all the required packages. Just select them all and click install, choose download only, from there you can make them into modules or one module. I think the only package missing is QT which you can download from USM.

I often get up stuck with usm with the following message:

Code: Select all

Cannot execute command ' /usr/bin/usmgui'

Am I the only one?

I have the impression that I get into save changes corrupted file or the kind very often. Could there be a simple command that could clean the hole usm installation and restore to usm?

Thanks.

[Ed_P]

I often get up stuck with usm with the following message:

Code: Select all

Cannot execute command ' /usr/bin/usmgui'

Have you tried using just usmgui? That's what I have been using the past couple of days.

Could there be a simple command that could clean the hole usm installation and restore to usm?

That would be helpful IMO.

[francois]

The error message is from the gui.

[brokenman]

### IMPORTANT
Problems have been reported when running this script and using the changes=EXIT cheatcode. The reason is the creation of a whiteout file /mnt/live/memory/changes/etc/usm/.wh.usm.conf

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
DATADIR=/usr/share
BINDIR=/usr/bin
SYSCONFDIR=/etc
MANDIR=/usr/man/man8
TARGET=usm
LATEST=usm-latest-0.0-noarch-1.txz
PKG=http://sourceforge.net/projects/usm/files/$LATEST/download

echo "Removing USM"
rm -f ${BINDIR}/${TARGET}
rm -f ${BINDIR}/${TARGET}gui
rm -f ${BINDIR}/packagetools
rm -f ${DATADIR}/applications/${TARGET}.desktop
rm -f ${DATADIR}/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/usm*
rm -rf ${SYSCONFDIR}/${TARGET}
rm -rf ${DATADIR}/usm
rm -f /${MANDIR}/${TARGET}.8*
rm -rf /var/usm
echo "Installing USM"
wget --no-check-certificate --trust-server-names $PKG -P /tmp || { echo "No internet!!"; exit; }
installpkg /tmp/$LATEST

Save this as update-usm.sh and run it. It will always update your installation to the latest. You will need to update databases again after running this. You probably won't be able to mount a usm-latest-0.0-noarch-1.xzm over the top of it later on.

If you want a simple command then save the script as /usr/bin/usm-update
Then do: chmod +x /usr/bin/usm-update

[francois]

It seems that you always have the solution at hand. In addition, you are faster than your shade, a real Lucky Luke. It did work on my 32 bit porteus installation.

Thanks brokenman.

[brokenman]

Thanks Francois. I don't know that I am as fast as my shadow though. I have to complete a certain project I am working on now before I can really take another good look at USM. I want to get all these little bugs out of the way and release a Porteus update for USM. I believe USM has potential to grow but I need to make sure it is rock solid stable and easy to use. There have been too many problems I'm hearing of so I think I need to take a look at making it more user friendly and fool proof. Better error messages would be a good start, also an uninstaller so people can replace it with slackyd if they choose.

[fanthom]

package manager is a critical application so what about this:
upon launch USM contacts our server and checks the version. if does not match then upgrade automatically.

people doesnt launch USM that often so this system hopefully wont cause any DDOS on our server

[brokenman]

This is a good idea. Do you think it shoul dbe made active by default or disabled and left to the user to choose the automatic check of updates?

[freestyler]

Good idea. I think it should be set to update by default.
Ive noticed that when it does update, USM need to be restarted or it wont search packages. That may be the cause of some peoples problems.
