If you haven't updated, then the program will ask you to update. This is necessary to return an accurate list.
People need to remember...install Linux Lite, then Install Updates. This has been mentioned repeatedly over time. Cheers :)

I get that message everytime. I get it even if i first do a update and then try, still get the message that i need to upgrade first.

Can you post a screenshot of your desktop with the error and with a terminal open.

Hope this works. I started the update and then used install additional software, entered password and then get the message asking me if i want to update.

If you have Temaviewer installed, can you pm your id and password and I'll take a look for you.

Had an unexpected hard drive crash, was lucky to have an old hd lying around and installed LL2.2 fresh onto that drive.
Unfortunate the error is still there, but got teamviewer installed. Just let me know when you want to have a look

Hi TMG1961.  Have you tried the Reload button (top left of screen) in Synaptic?  I think the message you're getting may refer to that, rather than the LL Updates routine.

I dont have a clue what triggers everything to be marked as installed and gives the pop-up message that you need to update first. Just after the installation of LL2.2 it was ok, i only installed chromium, deluge and teamviewer (hadnt had that previous). When i try to install something now it says that its already installed..all is marked as installed even though most isnt.


Its 08:13 here at the moment of posting this

Have you tried open terminal and running
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get autoremove and see if the system removes any odd unused decencies that my be hanging up the system in the update.
If not I know you probably already tried this but try just running
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get updatewithout an upgrade if that goes through but the system is still not doing what is soppose to try
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install -f there could be a broken install in the mix that should correct it, or atleast let you know if something else is going on.

Ok folks, I have found the issue here. If you install another language, Install Additional Software will ask for Updates each time, and show everything as installed. So we need to fix this. Thank you for the bug report and keep an eye on the Forums for a fix. Cheers :)

Post by: TMG1961 on December 04, 2014, 06:52:39 AM
As agreed earlier I installed LL2.2 32 bit, installed additional software, kept default language, set up mail account and added weather indicator. Did a few reboots and up to now all is working ok

Now this is what I call support....

TMG1961...
Great work for persevering, and working with Jerry...
Some people may have just give up and moved on to another distro out of frustration.

Jerry...
Hat's off to you for the support, not sure how many other Distro-Devs would have gone that extra mile.

Interesting so
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install -f should have thrown an error if there was a broken language dependency. Do we have any weird output?

So why is a grep command?
Code: [Select]
test_appletrailers1=(`apt-cache policy totem-mozilla | grep "Installed:"`)Before this command?
Code: [Select]
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
                    if zenity --question --title=Update --text="You must update package lists before using this tool\nDo you want to update?"
                    then
                                    sudo apt-get update | zenity --progress --text="Updating package lists..." --title="Please wait" --pulsate --auto-close
                                     if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
                                                zenity --error --title="Error" --text="Updating package lists has failed."
                                                exit
                                     fi
         
                    else                            exit


In the script it makes a grep call before a zenity call, could the grep cause a fault if there is an error in the grep?


I pulled the code from both the Git and in usr/scripts/lite-software on a current 32 and 64.
I am not sure if that could be the problem but when I removed it the error went away on the 32 bit and 64 bit when another installed language was present. But I am not sure that is the complete issue.

Should i change the default language to Dutch to see if the error pops up? Or do you want to take a look yourself Jerry?
Title: Re: install additional software 2.2
Post by: TMG1961 on December 05, 2014, 04:11:52 PM
Thought i give it a try. Changed language to Dutch, logged out and back in again and tried to install additional software and got the pop up that i needed to update first. Changed the language back to English and logged out and in again and no pop up when i tried to install additional software.

Sorry to keep you waiting, I've been busy.
I've made the changes to more than 100 files and pushed them to github.
Jerry will inspect the code and test the new version. If all goes well, new version will be out soon.

No problem at all..i just tested it out and it did what i thought it would do. Got the language back to English and all works fine again.

We're currently working on new code and testing fully, as a result there may be a bit of a wait before it's ready. I'd rather take a bit longer and get it right.

Hi,

I assume it is this... http://www.bankid.com/en/what-is-bankid/ (http://www.bankid.com/en/what-is-bankid/)
Yes, they seem to be pushing Windows Installer, only because most people have Windows.

Maybe all is not lost.??
Take a look at this: https://fribid.se/index.en.html (https://fribid.se/index.en.html)
There appears to be an Ubuntu version under downloads,
You may need some guidance on installing it..??

There maybe more to Google for.

Dave
