Upgrade 02/11/2014

[pavroo]

Be careful with today's (02/Nov/2014) system upgrading.
It makes a mess in LXDE desktop packages.
It can make a problem in other sparky desktops using lxpolkit, such as: enlightenment, razor-qt, jwm and openbox - haven't checked it yet.
Don't rush with the upgrading, wait until situation will be clear.

p.s.
If you use the new tool 'sparky-aptus-upgrade' - it stops upgrading before making changes.

I tried to upgrade lxde, but it failed.
I also tried to upgrade lxde from sid - failed too.
I removed lxde but I couldn't install it back.
The problem was with lxsession-logout package which makes problem with the new lxsession (include the same files).
It drives me crazy.
I changed my desktop for Xfce now.
You can make normal upgrade (apt-get upgrade) without a problem.

Thanks for warning, was prepared for trouble.
Running Openbox edition with lxpanel added, upgrade wanted to upgrade lxsession, caused expected problems.
Finally solved by using aptitude, as below

Code Select Expand

root[russell]# aptitude remove lxsession-logout

All went well, install -f and autoremove show no problems, have shutdown and restarted, no problems.
Have not re-installed lxsession.

That's great, I haven't upgraded my system today, it's still waiting to be finished.

I am running E18 or i was ...  could not do the upgrade at first .

I did the upgrade by doing ...

apt-get remove enlightenment lightdm-gtk-greeter
apt-get install e19

Then worked with no problem...  (If you do have a problem aptitude can fix it as was mentioned, I also used aptitude to recover when the update failed the first time .....  )

On the restart on course i was in shell

loged in as user

$ startx

Then i reinstalled lightdm-gtk-greeter   

Been up and running for about 20 ins now ... CPU temp is down an average of 5C

I'm using Sparkylinux JWM. I upgraded my system and then came to read this post. I didn't notice any problems up until now. And then I just remembered you said something about lxpolkit so I clicked on mint tools, both the format and usb write tool and noticed that they no longer start from JWM edited menu but, they do start if I open the application-menu folder. I need to check my jwmrc.xml maybe changes made recently are causing this problem.

[way12go]

Yeah! That is mistake on my behalf. I changed the jwmrc.xml entry and added remsu before the path of the both of the mint tools. After I removed the remsu they are working.

So the upgrade comes with no problems for Sparkylinux JWM. Atleast that is what I think is true.

LXDE edition:
- all lxde packages have to be removed with 'siduction' in their names
- new 'lxsession' 0.5.1 package provides its own 'lxpolkit' and 'lxsession-logout' tools so we don't need 'lxpolkit' and 'lxsession-logout' siduction's packages any more
- new 'lxsession' provides its own 'lxpolkit.desktop' as well, so '~HOME/.config/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop' has to be removed

JWM edition: doesn't require your attention.
Keep installed 'lxpolkit' and 'lxsession-data'.

Openbox edition: 'lxsession' and 'lxsession-logout' packages are useless, can be removed.
Keep installed 'lxpolkit' and 'lxsession-data'.

Razor-Qt edition: doesn't require your attention.
Keep installed 'lxpolkit' and 'lxsession-data'.

Enlightenment edition: doesn't require your attention.
Keep installed 'lxpolkit' and 'lxsession-data'.

MATE and Xfce editions don't use 'lxpolkit' so they are ok.
