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

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?

[TMG1961]

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.
