Hi folks,
I would like some volunteers to try this update script I have been working on and off for some months now.
This would require you to create this file first so that there is no interruption in the update process:
(source http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/debian-conffile-configuration-file-managed-by-dpkg/ (http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/debian-conffile-configuration-file-managed-by-dpkg/))
sudo leafpad /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local
Dpkg::Options {
"--force-confdef";
"--force-confold";
}
save and close.
Here is the script:
leafpad ~/updatestest
copy into the following, then save and close, and make executable:
#!/bin/bash

I'm going to run this on 2.2 Final on my own computer for several months until 2.4 is released to see if it stands the test of time. If this works well and is stable, I hope to include it in 2.4 next year, being such a critical piece of software, it has to work well over a long period of time.

I would be happy too help with the script test; however, I am unable to do so because since I installed the updates on my Dell D620, that you did the remote install on (11/06/14) I have no wireless access too the network. I tried the on board help too locate a fix or a method of trouble shooting. Failing too find a fix I did as you advised and posted my problem on the forum but to date haven't received a reply. With God's help I am doing my best too find out why installing the updates would wipe out my wifi access too the network and as soon as I find the answer I will post it and should you still need a script tester be more than happy too help. God bless you.
tnx john

@Jerry - Testing the script now. I'll have some feedback soon.
-
The script is running well for me (LL 2.2/64 Beta on VBox). Possibly one small issue (see note at bottom). After running the new script(updatestest) the original script "install updates" will generate an error:
(http://i.imgur.com/rtOXdZk.png)
Commenting out these in "install updates" will fix it or at least stop the error.
killall -9 synaptic
killall -9 gdebi-gtk
Some troubleshooting I tried
logout/login didn't help
reboot didn't didn't help
Note. I say this is a possible issue because when this script is released I assume the orginal script "install updates" will be removed.
-
It looks like the update error above (reply #4) in the screenshot has nothing to do with the updatestest script but with package:
lite-software 1.0-0330-linuxlite.
This line in the updates script seems to be the cause
sudo killall -9 synaptic && killall -9 gdebi-gtk && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Specifically these commands
killall -9 synaptic && killall -9 gdebi-gtk

@Scott, that particular 'error' stems from the script closing gdebi or synaptic if they are open so that Install Updates completes uninterrupted. It was an addition I made recently as I've noticed newbies posting Install Updates doesn't complete, in the end only to find out they have another package manager open. I need to fine tune it and put an 'if, else' statement in there to suppress the reported 'error'. Thank you for helping with the testing :)
@jabbott, this thread is specifically about a new GUI updates script. Which area of the forum did you originally post your thread? I see nothing under the Hardware Support > Network section in your name. If you have not started one there yet, please do so to receive the correct Support. Thank you.
-
Quick fix for the updates. Replace the line 15 in /usr/scripts/updates with this.
sudo killall -9 synaptic || echo ok && killall -9 gdebi-gtk || echo ok && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
-
Thanks misko, a good quick fix there, What we need long term is a if-else statement that suppresses any errors :)

Apologies if I was a bit enthusiastic :) with my postings. Couldn't sleep last night and had too much time on my hands.

Beautiful misko! I'll upload the new deb's soon :)
-
New versions uploaded, credits to misko in the updates script.
First post script updated too.
-
Made some changes to the script.
Added: A check to see if any updates are available, if there are none, script pops up a dialog box saying 'No Updates Available'.
Changes: Script opens a list of available updates.
Note: The list of packages that have been kept back is not displaying.

You can.

Some nice additions there misko :) I think we should remove the checklist though, new folk could interrupt this incorrectly.
-
If you still want to use the existing Menu, Favorites, Install Updates entry to try the new beta method, here's how.
1) Open a terminal do:
sudo cp ~/updatestest /usr/scripts
2) Then go to Menu, Settings, Main Menu. Highlight Install Updates in the right hand pane and click on Properties. Change the Command to:
gksudo /usr/scripts/updatestest
Now the new GUI will run from the Menu. To go back to the stock way of doing Updates, simply replace:
gksudo /usr/scripts/updatestest
with

OK, checklist is removed :)
Some minor improvements to the script.
First open sinaptic and/or gdebi-gtk to test this.

There is another approach
I've used stream editor in the script to insert two lines into /tmp/updateslist
#Insert text into /tmp/updateslist
sed -i -e '1 i\######### List of available Updates ##############' -e '1 i\######### Click OK to continue or Cancel to stop the update process ##############' /tmp/updateslist

I think I prefer the existing method of handling the gdebi/synaptic check, it's simpler and quicker.
Also running your new code I still get the 'List of available Updates - Click OK to continue or Cancel to stop the update process' existing dialog, not your new one, but this time it's empty when there are lots of updates for my machine:

I thought it would be nice to have an opportunity to stop the kill switch. :)
Whatever you think it's best.
It's definitelly quicker. :)

Arrrgh. :(
Why can't 'zenity --text-info' tell when you use the wrong filename.
I've entered
--filename="/tmp/updateslist "
instead of
--filename="/tmp/updateslist"
No error messages at all...
It took me some time to figure it out.
I've swithed back to the existing method of handling the gdebi/synaptic check.

Much better, plus the error is gone :) People will compare this new method to the old in terms of the time it takes, if we can take about the same amount of time with the new as we did with the old, there less to whinge about :) Can you insert a blank line after: ######### Click OK to continue or Cancel to stop the update process ############## to separate the title and the list of updates? Cheers :)

Just add '\n' at the end of the line :) ######### Click OK to continue or Cancel to stop the update process ##############\n

I've also changed the title in this script (removed those hashtags)

Changed line 70:
x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo apt-get upgrade \-y )' 2>&1 | tee /var/log/llupdates.log |
to
x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get upgrade \-y )' 2>&1 | tee /var/log/llupdates.log |
to suppress debconf errors, that don't actually mean anything is wrong, but may raise questions about updates errors from people.

Smart move Jerry :)
What do yo think about adding the list dialog to copy the log file? Something like the list in the new system report.

Just out of curiosity, what's the benefit of using this script vs. HardInfo?
Edit: Sorry, wrong topic. Please see this one instead: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=1237

Love the scripts . Save some time .
Dont know where to put it , please post where needed : can someone add sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove at the end of this script somehow !
Just an idea in order to cleanup LL . For what it s worth .
-
@Altman
I believe that the Lite Cleaner handles those tasks.
~Scott
-
Hey cool , tought of a combo between both of these maybe , anyhow , I can do with these . lol , forgot about Lite Cleaner , good call .
-
8) No problem. I confused the two a few times myself.

Hey cool , Saved some space just doing L Cleaner .

Hi Jerry, misko and sysdrum,
I have been following your threads on the GUI Updates & System Reporting Scripts with interest.
I don't know if it's possible.??
Once they are defined "stable", would it be possible to add them into the "How To's..."
How to add:
Update GUI
System Reporting
It would be great for the folks who are either sticking on LL2.0 or not quite ready to make the move.
Just a thought...
Dave
We can certainly do that :) See the first post of this thread for the Updates instructions.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks... O.K on instructions
The actual script went through a number of updates/iterations..
Is the script in 1st post also the latest.?
Thanks... Dave
-
The latest will be whatever is the last full posting of the code (#33) in this case.

Update
Changes
¤ Display only the last 64 chars when the output is parsed to the progress dialogs (this way the progress bar width will not increase)
¤ Variables are now unset before exit
¤ Package list is now preset to a variable (safer)
¤ Ownership of the report now changes to the user

@Jerry:
If the next script handles *.conf files in a way it doesn't install the package maintainer's versions on a fresh install, the previous script will probably work in the same way.

Ah O.o , ok found it.
The list is there just used `cat /tmp/updatelist` instead of `cat $UPDATES` when checking if there are any updates.

This is good :) The only thing is that the 64 character string cuts off some of the output at the beginning, example http://xxxxxx becomes tp://xxxxxx
-
Yes, but we could show only the first 64 characters of the strings. It doesn't need to be 64 you can tweak that at your end.

I certainly appreciate the work thats gone into the log file changes, but I think there is now too much user interaction.
Ideally, they will:
Choose to update or not > updates will run > have the option at the end to view the log which should reside in /var/log.

OK how about now? First dialog is removed.

A bit of a misunderstanding here :) I'll break it down:
Choose to update or not > this refers to the original first dialogue, line 32:
zenity --question --title="Linux Lite Updates" --window-icon="/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png" --text="We will now fetch the Updates list.\n\nClick Yes to continue or No to abort."
This is kept because someone may have clicked on the wrong item in the Menu, or decided against updating.
updates will run > self explanatory.
have the option at the end to view the log which should reside in /var/log - the default dialogue at the end of the file:
PROCEED=$(zenity --question --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon=/usr/share/icons/zenity-llcc.png --text="Updates have finished installing.\n\nWould you like to view the $APPNAME Updates log?"; echo $?)
if [ ${PROCEED} -eq 1 ]; then
zenity --info --title="$APPNAME Updates" --window-icon="${INSTALL_ICON}" --text="$APPNAME Updates Complete."
exit;
else
zenity --text-info --ok-label="Quit" --cancel-label="Cancel" --title="Updates Log" --width=700 --height=300 --filename="/var/log/llupdates.log"
fi
So we want to retain the original first dialogue and original logging method :) If there is a bug, then the intuitive place to look is /var/log.

Latest iteration:
- Added line 91
