Sorry to revive that old thread. What would be the more recent one on usm and errors or bugs?

Maybe we should start one explaining a few common solution to usm errors:
1) the salix database error (is it fixed for porteus 4.0?)
2) One or more errors occurred while usm was running:
FATAL ERROR!
resolve_deps 369
Please wait 6 hours for the next database update. Could not find: LIBS.TXT
And other common errors encountered. Would we have enough material for that?

Most of the USM distributions have multiple mirrors. Just because one mirror is bad doesn't mean they all are. Have you tried other mirrors?

Are you talking about 1) the salix problem or 2) the One or more errors occurred while usm was running?
Personnaly, I have fixed 1) the salix database error by choosing another server and saved it in/porteus/rootcopy/etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt. The rootcopy contains many of my fixes that will survive the porteus release candidate changes and even could be used for nemesis (autostart applications for example).
However, I was wondering if usm would run with minima snags. Or at least that we would have some kind of common problems and solution for usm.

2) One or more errors occurred while usm was running:
FATAL ERROR!
resolve_deps 369
I am trying to build qt4.8.7 for smplayer.
Would be solved by changing mirrors

Real funny, qt-4.8 from usm tried to pull so much dependencies. When I download it from pkgs.org and txz2xzm, it turns to be the only dependency needed for smplayer.

1) and hopefully it's fix fixes 2)
Yup, doing it manually or using one of bogomips's script will accomplish that.Personnaly, I have fixed 1) the salix database error by choosing another server and saved it in/porteus/rootcopy/etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt.
My USM changes, /etc/usm/* & /var/usm/ will survive also as I have them saved in a module I make of my changes.
There was a script that bogomips had that did fix a lot of the USM errors, unfortunately I don't recall it's name or location at this point.However, I was wondering if usm would run with minima snags. Or at least that we would have some kind of common problems and solution for usm.

Good to know. No I was on xfce4. This means that smplayer alone could run on kde5.
Thanks.
Thanks.
