Aqpm 1.3.3 and Shaman 1.2.0 released!

drf · 2009-08-10 13:11:04

Hello people,

I am glad to announce the immediate availability of Shaman 1.2.0 and Aqpm 1.3.3. Grab them here:

http://github.com/drf/aqpm/tarball/1.3.3
http://github.com/drf/shaman1/tarball/1.2.0

I'll get straight to the point: development cycle was not over. This means that you will get all the new goodness, but paying a small price: ABS support will not work in this release, and whereas everything is working here and on some other installations, bugs might arise. (the translation bug should be fixed) Please report them here: http://chakra-project.org/bugs/

I'll be on holiday until September, in the meanwhile I hope you all will enjoy the new Shaman! Also remember that you need to have installed polkit-qt and a policykit manager, either polkit-gnome or kdebase-workspace. The community package will come soon, anyway

Packages are available here:
http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/shaman/

Warning: I have yet to manage installing a package using these packages so I am not sure they will be of any use... It seems to freeze at the actual package install stage. I also noticed that the download "crashes" if a package is already in the cache.

So, this will not be appearing in the community repo yet.

ugkbunb · 2009-08-10 18:55:24

With the PKGBUILDS hosted on the link I was able to get these to build/install/run just fine. I did not try to install from the packages hosted because my build succeeded just fine. Also it seems he has fixed the missing text issue (translation bug). Thanks!

Allan,

Those packages work seem to work great here. Interface and all.

drf · 2009-08-10 22:32:42

Allan,

If you want to debug the issue you should try debugging the 2 helper applications, aqpmdownloader and aqpmworker (both should run as root). Also check if your polkit installation is working fine, 99/100 times is its fault.

Anyway, I'll be back on the 20th

Allan · 2009-08-11 04:06:40

So, can other people can install stuff using the shaman/aqpm packages I posted?

I don't think it is a policykit issue on my end as I (temporarily) allowed my user permissions to do everything in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf.

Allan · 2009-08-11 07:09:21

After restarting my laptop today, basic operations seem to work. No idea why it was not working last night but it appears that if you kill shaman in the middle of an operation, aqpmworker can stay running in the background and can cause some fun!

Anyway, you will find a new shaman in a [community] repo near you soon!

Edit: I think I have found why this was stalling on me last night. Currently I have subversion to upgrade. If I clear that off the queue in shaman and install anything else, subversion still gets upgraded. Last night I had many things to upgrade including openoffice-base and openjdk6, which are nice and big and would take time to download/install. Hence the "freezing" that I was noticing. Of course, I could be going mad and this is all in my head...

agapito · 2009-08-11 10:22:37

I installed from community and i can't see my local/aur packages installed.

flamelab · 2009-08-11 11:33:31

I can't find the ... English localisation for shaman. Has anyone else the same problem ?

Allan · 2009-08-11 11:49:55

@flamelab - are you using the version from [community] or the earlier version I posted? The new one is fixed.

I am experiencing the same.

I've tried both packages and I don't get an english language option either.

I had to start shaman with the --no-i18n option which puts it into english.

I haven't tried the --force-i18n=locale option yet.

tim · 2009-08-11 17:22:49

I have another problem.

I have two packages in the ignore list but shaman tells me that these 2 packages have updates when I update the databases. If I press process queue and elect to show the packages, shaman shows me the two packages in the ignore list but says there is only 1 package to update. If I press process, it then tells me that one of the packages is in the ignore list and do I want to process it anyway. Regardless of what I do next it fails with error messages and then says update successful :-)

Edit:
Now after rebooting I'm getting the following error whenever I do anything like update the database:

It looks like the system policy prevents you from doing this action, or you failed or refused to authenticate. Please contact your system administrator for further details

Edit again:
That last error went away after I pressed the cancel all actions button and it didn't come back even after rebooting several times, until now :-(
Aagain, if I just press the cancel all actions button then everything works without this error.

yeah, i just went to ~.config/shaman and removed the language line from shaman.conf - works except everytime i change something in settings i have to remove the line again.

also not dsiplaying local packages here.

Rehto · 2009-08-12 11:03:50

I don't see the local packages either and when I try to update the database
(it does seem to do the update) all I see is blank (0 available pkgs)
and I have to do pacman -Sy to get the db back in order....

Shaman 1.2.0-1 & aqpm 1.3.3-1 (from community)

I have issues with shaman too.
It installs packages, but after installation it does not close the installation progression window.
So I have to kill shaman each time I use it to install a package.

Suggesions?

jeff story · 2009-08-13 08:59:06

I was able to change the language back to English by selecting "zh".

Must stand for "zhenglish" ?!?!

Everybody remember the bug report link at the top of this thread...

regibbs1 · 2009-08-25 18:04:10

Shaman wont work for me either. I always get this message.
"It looks like the system policy prevents you from doing this action, or you failed or refused to authenticate. Please contact your system administrator for further details".

I havent got a clue as how to fix this.:(

Edit: also none of the buttons to do anything are active, such as the "process queue", or "update database". They are just greyed out.

you need to set up policykit permissions.

addr · 2009-08-26 10:07:24

Newly installed here.
Can't find anything else on the forum about language in Shaman (updated today). Should I just wait?

I went and read the PolicyKit.conf man pages, set it up, and still nothing. Just grey buttons, and the same message stating as before.:(

jazz452 · 2009-09-03 16:49:11

Will be fixed sometime in September {;Q()
