problems with several PBIs:krusader,htop,qemu,truetypefonts etc..

[kifto]

Hello

Im running pcBSD 9 i386 32bits. KDE4 desktop (only).System language:spanish
hardware: core2quad q6600, 4gb ram, nvidia 8600GS


The PBIs where Ive found problems are:

- Krusader: before finishing the install, app cafe says that there have been some problems, so I will have to update that PBI manually. While the app cafe is open, krusader appears as an installed app, but actually, krusader is not really installed, after closing appcafe I can repeat the whole proccess again.
- True Type Fonts: before finishing install app cafe says that there have been some problems and the app can not be installed.
- Htop: The install went well, but I cant launch the app. Ive tried it in a shell to see the output, but it only says that htop cant be found
- Qemu: the install went well, but I cant launch the app. Everytime I try it says: "KDEInit could not launch «/usr/pbi/qemu-i386/.sbin/aqemu»"

Im not sure if I may fill any kind of bug report about any of these issues.

Another question I have related to pcBSD apps is about the software I have installed during the pcbsd9 installation procces. Can I uninstall any of those apps through the pcbsd system configuration menu that is inside the control panel? Ive seen that I can install new apps and components using that menu, my question is if that menu can be used to uninstall those same apps and components as well.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting these problems with the PBI's. I will take a look at fixing them later today.

The system manager does take care of both installation and un-installation of system packages. It simply scans your current configuration and compares it to the desired system configuration (what is checked) and makes the appropriate changes after you hit "apply".

- Htop: The install went well, but I cant launch the app. Ive tried it in a shell to see the output, but it only says that htop cant be found
- Qemu: the install went well, but I cant launch the app. Everytime I try it says: "KDEInit could not launch «/usr/pbi/qemu-i386/.sbin/aqemu»"

Htop: It looks like it is running fine here. If the terminal was open before/during the installation, you will need to run the "rehash" command before htop can be run without manually starting the binary from the PBI folder.

QEMU: The deskop entries should be trying to run "qemu" not "aqemu". You can change that manually for now. I am rebuilding the PBI as well so that it will be fixed.

- Krusader: before finishing the install, app cafe says that there have been some problems, so I will have to update that PBI manually. While the app cafe is open, krusader appears as an installed app, but actually, krusader is not really installed, after closing appcafe I can repeat the whole proccess again.
- True Type Fonts: before finishing install app cafe says that there have been some problems and the app can not be installed.

Krusader: I have been unable to reproduce this - it seems to work just fine. Try running "pbi_add -r krusader" from the command line and see if there are any error messages there.

TrueTypeFonts: I just fixed the meta-data for this PBI and it should work in a day or two (once that file gets updated for everyone). In the meantime, you can run "pbi_add -r truetypefonts" (with root permissions) to install it.

Thanks for your help, Beanpole. You are right about htop. Ill wait for the qemu pbi rebuild. The truth is that you've all done a really good job with this pcbsd release. At this moment, in the desktop usability /newbie friendliness areas pcbsd9 leaves behind many of the major linux distributions. Thanks again for your time & efforts

Ive tried to install krusader through the shell, but with same results. The output is:

[kiftox@BSD9] ~> pbi_add -r krusader
Downloading ftp://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/PC-BSD/PB....0.b1-i386.pbi

Verifying Checksum...OK
pbi_add: pre-install.sh returned error status

I don't know what I've done wrong. This is a fresh install of pcbsd9, I havent had enough time to mess up the system

[Beanpole]

That was very useful. I discovered an old installation script from the 8.x days was causing the problem and removed it. Once the PBI rebuilds, it should work properly.

Thanks for catching this!

I just finished approving the fixed Krusader PBI (version 2.4.0.b1_1). It should be available in the AppCafe within 24 hours.

I found a couple more issues with the QEMU PBI, so it will probably be a couple more days before that one is released. Sorry for the wait.

[Beanpole]

The QEMU PBI was just re-released. It should be available in the AppCafe within 24 hours.
