| dr4c4n | I'm not sure if other people are having the same issue on 17.04 that I am, but a recent upgrade just broke the viewpane in evolution on ubuntu gnome | 20:13 |
|---|---|---|
| dr4c4n | I found a post on an arch forum that describes the exact issue I'm having, but I am unsure how to "downgrade" the package | 20:15 |
| dr4c4n | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223046 | 20:15 |
| flocculant | not seen that mentioned here | 20:15 |
| dr4c4n | this is the link where the person is having the same issue as me in arch, but I tried apt-cache search for the package but I can't find it | 20:16 |
| dr4c4n | I would really like to use the integrated pgp features, but at the moment I'm unable to actually read my mail | 20:17 |
| dr4c4n | does anyone know how to downgrade or find that particular package? | 20:23 |
| flocculant | dr4c4n: first perhaps you should make sure you've got an install that's a bit out of date - or earlier version so you don't get caught out - but I'd try grabbing 'latest' working from http://packages.ubuntu.com and dpkg -i that version | 20:24 |
| flocculant | I've had to do similar with lightdm to prove when a bug occurred | 20:25 |
| dr4c4n | flocculant: the problem is i'm not sure what it is called, as I apt-cache searched for the package, but I do not believe it's named the same thing on ubuntu as it is on arch | 20:27 |
| flocculant | btw - not using gnome/ubuntu here so don't actually see the issue | 20:27 |
| dr4c4n | basically the view pane of the email shows up as completely white and if you mouse over the content, it is still there, but you can't see it | 20:28 |
| flocculant | dr4c4n: probably not - but look for 2.14.3 perhaps | 20:29 |
| flocculant | as I said - not ubuntu nor gnome here - don't use evolution :) | 20:29 |
| dr4c4n | I just installed Thunderbird, but wanted to test out the integrated pgp key content for evolution.. actually found a bug in an old version for email encryption on evolution | 20:30 |
| dr4c4n | (and wanted to see if that was fixed in the latest version) | 20:31 |
| flocculant | only zesty evoluton bug is bug 1654045 | 20:31 |
| ubottu | bug 1654045 in evolution (Ubuntu) "/usr/bin/evolution:11:_cogl_check_extension:_cogl_feature_check:update_base_winsys_features:_cogl_winsys_renderer_connect:cogl_renderer_connect" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1654045 | 20:31 |
| flocculant | reported | 20:31 |
| dr4c4n | also this bug can't be automatically reported, as the program doesn't crash, you just can't see the email view pane. | 20:31 |
| flocculant | ubuntu-bug evolution then | 20:31 |
| dr4c4n | ok thanks, I'll do that.. and then try to figure out how to downgrade that package, but first I need to find it's name | 20:32 |
| dr4c4n | is there any log of apt-get update | 20:32 |
| dr4c4n | ? | 20:32 |
| flocculant | yea > /var/log/apt | 20:33 |
| dr4c4n | awesome I will check there now, and find the name of the package. | 20:33 |
| flocculant | check either history or term | 20:33 |
| flocculant | depends how you do things there | 20:33 |
| flocculant | anyway - check http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=webkit2gtk&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names | 20:34 |
| flocculant | ignore -dev, -dbg and -doc | 20:34 |
| flocculant | look for a likely version, grab it, dpkg -i it, apt upgrade if it fails will get you to current | 20:35 |
| dr4c4n | I think that I don't want current as that is the one that broke the viewpane. | 20:35 |
| flocculant | yea but if it breaks worse - get back to current | 20:36 |
| flocculant | what you need to be doing is prove 'when' it breaks | 20:36 |
| flocculant | you ARE running a dev version of *buntu :) | 20:36 |
| dr4c4n | so first off I'm reporting the bug, and then I'm going to try to downgrade that package | 20:44 |
| flocculant | dr4c4n: well | 20:45 |
| flocculant | dr4c4n: first off I would downgrade the package to when it works | 20:45 |
| flocculant | then I would upgrade and report when it was broken - then you can at least state the last version of 'package' when it worked for you | 20:46 |
| flocculant | bug 1656399 is one I did for light-locker - which turned out to be lightdm and affecting ubuntu as well as xubuntu | 20:47 |
| ubottu | bug 1656399 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Unable to unlock session after suspend using lightdm-gtk-greeter." [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1656399 | 20:47 |
| dr4c4n | I'm still trying to find that webkit package, and it's not being shown in the dpkg or apt logs | 20:48 |
| dr4c4n | so I'm not sure how to fix my issue.. | 20:49 |
| flocculant | dr4c4n: not sure how to help - did it 'stop' showing e-mails? | 20:51 |
| flocculant | or was it always like it - in which case perhaps you installed with broken version? | 20:52 |
| flocculant | don't use evolution - so don't know what's gone on during the cycle | 20:53 |
| dr4c4n | so evolution was working perfectly fine | 20:53 |
| flocculant | other people are more likely to | 20:53 |
| dr4c4n | I did an apt-get update / upgrade | 20:53 |
| dr4c4n | after the upgrade, something was installed that made the message pane not visible, what I mean is the information is there, but the entire pane is completely white | 20:53 |
| dr4c4n | and I can't select it to see it | 20:54 |
| dr4c4n | but when I mouse over, it shows content is there because in the status window it shows that you can do information with what is currently under the mouse. | 20:54 |
| flocculant | yea - I know what you're saying - do you at least know which date it was? | 20:54 |
| dr4c4n | today | 20:54 |
| dr4c4n | I haven't done an update for a while, but as of friday I could see my mail, now today I can't | 20:55 |
| flocculant | ok - so how do you upgrade packages? manually? let the system do whatever it wants? was it a security update? have you stopped auto security updates? | 20:56 |
| dr4c4n | I upgrade packages manually | 20:56 |
| dr4c4n | typing in apt-get update, apt-get upgrade | 20:56 |
| flocculant | if it happened today then it is logged - find the logs :) | 20:56 |
| dr4c4n | apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:56 |
| flocculant | ok - so should be in the term.log | 20:56 |
| flocculant | dr4c4n: cat /var/log/apt/term.log |pastebinit | 20:58 |
| dr4c4n | thanks, doing so now | 21:00 |
| dr4c4n | http://pastebin.com/dWNUGaYR | 21:02 |
| dr4c4n | pretty sure it's line 343 | 21:02 |
| flocculant | ok - so grab an earlier version | 21:07 |
| flocculant | must be someone else who can help there if you're not sure | 21:08 |
| dr4c4n | so the package is libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 | 21:08 |
| dr4c4n | but I can't see any previous packages | 21:09 |
| dr4c4n | when I do apt-cache showpkg | 21:09 |
| dr4c4n | I'm about to leave it, and hope that on the next upgrade it fixes things.. | 21:10 |
| dr4c4n | for now I'll switch to thunderbird. | 21:10 |
| dr4c4n | I have no idea how to individually downgrade | 21:10 |
| flocculant | and that's what causes issues - if you can't work out what's happened - and then can't report issue - evolution will still be broken for you unless it fixes some other way | 21:12 |
| flocculant | and the rest | 21:12 |
| * flocculant blames DalekSec | 21:12 | |
| dr4c4n | it says the latest version of the package was installed because of a security issue | 21:13 |
| dr4c4n | at least on xenial | 21:13 |
| dr4c4n | http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2 | 21:13 |
| dr4c4n | there's no earlier version available in apt, which is the recommended method of downgrading.. | 21:14 |
| flocculant | so report a bug against that package - manually if nned be | 21:14 |
| flocculant | at least you know which package to downgrade to prove it now | 21:15 |
| dr4c4n | yes | 21:16 |
| dr4c4n | the problem is | 21:16 |
| dr4c4n | figuring out how to downgrade | 21:16 |
| flocculant | yea - you'll need to find the package and then dpkg -i | 21:16 |
| flocculant | which I said some time ago | 21:16 |
| dr4c4n | alright thanks | 21:18 |
