| Anonamy | Hi, so I upgraded Xubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04 then to 20.04 all in the same day, | 18:33 |
| Anonamy | everything seems ok, except there is some Gnome stuff that seems to conflict with XFCE, such as the panel and menus, but I resolved those by uninstalling some Gnome packages | 18:34 |
| Anonamy | I do have a problem still however, and that is the automatic Software-updater | 18:34 |
| pikapika | yeah | 18:34 |
| pikapika | check your sources.list | 18:34 |
| pikapika | apt from the command line just gives you a warning and continues along if any of the sources are failing, but the software updater fails with an internet error | 18:35 |
| Anonamy | the problem is that it refuses to update anything because it does not have root access | 18:35 |
| pikapika | is it talking about some "partial upgrade"? | 18:35 |
| Anonamy | sources.list is fine now | 18:35 |
| pikapika | Anonamy, check for keyring | 18:36 |
| Anonamy | I have no problems anymore except for the software-updater ... it opens and closes really quick when I hit update, then I get an error in Auth, saying that it does not have access | 18:36 |
| pikapika | I think the software updater uses keyring for auth | 18:37 |
| Anonamy | I can still update in the command line with apt-update | 18:37 |
| pikapika | theres an app called gnome keyring | 18:37 |
| Anonamy | apt-get upgrade ect all works fine, its just the gui version has no access, but it pops up automatically so I don't know where to look to give it root access | 18:37 |
| pikapika | it manages permissions for gui apps that require root | 18:37 |
| pikapika | so you don't have to type password | 18:38 |
| Anonamy | ok | 18:38 |
| pikapika | I am not saying it is the cause | 18:38 |
| pikapika | Just pointing it as a potential | 18:38 |
| Anonamy | alright I am looking into it | 18:39 |
| Anonamy | in the mean time I created a menu item that runs sudo /usr/bin/update-manager and made it run in terminal | 18:43 |
| Anonamy | I mean . sudo /usr/bin/update-manager | 18:45 |
| Anonamy | getting this error in auth.log polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:c6 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages for system-bus-name::1.5174 [/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/update-manager] (owned by unix-user:lsemple) | 18:46 |
| Anonamy | ^ thats the error I get if I run /usr/bin/update-manager without sudo | 18:47 |
| Anonamy | and its the same error when the update-manager automatically presents itself every other day | 18:48 |
| Anonamy | maybe I should ask in #ubuntu ? | 18:48 |
| pikapika | Anonamy, why do you not use apt-get | 18:49 |
| pikapika | I always just use apt-get | 18:49 |
| pikapika | I get to see the logs of the update as its happening | 18:49 |
| pikapika | and the gui tools always seem to have problems with some edge cases | 18:49 |
| pikapika | and in 16 my software updater basically stopped working | 18:49 |
| pikapika | Anonamy, I have a feeling its keyring related | 18:50 |
| Anonamy | I do use apt-get all the time | 18:52 |
| Anonamy | it would just be nice if the automatic one would work | 18:53 |
| Anonamy | pikapika, thanks for the help.. its not the end of the world if I cannot use it, | 18:55 |
| pikapika | the gui updater always has problems | 18:56 |
| pikapika | It is my personal policy that I try to use base tools rather than wrappers as much as possible | 18:56 |
| Anonamy | yeah thats what I figure | 18:56 |
| pikapika | The external layers expecially guis over command line tools are often fickle | 18:56 |
| Anonamy | is there a way to disable it ? | 18:56 |
| pikapika | I don't know | 18:56 |
| Anonamy | remove the program entirely | 18:57 |
| pikapika | Probably not a good idea | 18:57 |
| pikapika | there might be important dependencies it takes along with itself | 18:57 |
| Anonamy | or rename it in /usr/bin | 18:57 |
| pikapika | maybe just chmod -x the process? | 18:57 |
| Anonamy | ok | 18:57 |
| pikapika | chmod -x is better than renaming | 18:57 |
| pikapika | did you look into your keyring | 18:57 |
| Anonamy | no | 18:58 |
| pikapika | Anonamy, what groups is your user in | 19:00 |
