Bug 14927

Created attachment 5779 [details]
Output of the mana pan command

what is that does not start really?
mana pan?
or rpmdragora? (maybe into mpan)

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

It starts without problem, only the research doesn't work (it searchs but there is no any result)

Screenshot with the problem

I cannot reproduce the problem, at least not yet.

However I noticed that (except for with --ncurses), I got a lot of "examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/*" lines every time I started rpmdragora directly or selected "Install and Remove Software" from the panel.

I can't find such lines in your attachment.

Do they appear for you when starting rpmdrake?

CC: (none) => marja11

Probably it has to be this the reason as i don't have any line about "synthesis file ... " etc

Dimitros, rpmdrake works instead, doesn't it?

Marja, i cannot avoid that, as far as i understood also rpmdrake does. But i open to get any improvements :D

@ Angelo
Yes, rpmdrake does that, too, and here it helps to find where the problem is, so I think it is better to keep this feature (and maybe add it to --ncurses, too ;-) )

Marja dialogs seems there. Which one should be missed?

Dimitros, her it works. Can you explain better what you did to arrive to that?
I suspect you don't have any media configured... but i could be wrong

i have media configured, i use cli urpmi normaly

Here is the output when i try to reload the media

I have a popup window and it says that i don't have any media active

@ Dimitrios

Can you please confirm that using rpmdrake to search works fine?

I confirm that rpmdrake it works

On comment #10 thanks for reporting that i will check what is wrong (at least for icons i cannot trust that the rpmdrake ones are installed). 
I have to investigate the $mode, but those warnings should not be related to your problem. You attached a snapshot that shows only the search png on the left panel.
I would have expected also all the rpm group categories. So you don't have somehow the media configured, at least rpmdragora can't find them, as probably confirmed by your last:
"I have a popup window and it says that i don't have any media active".

So it's important to understand either what you did to have this situation (installed from scratch, updated, etc.), I mean any steps, and if rpmdrake has the same behaviour. Otherwise i failed to port something from it. 
rpmdragora is not completed yet, but should work for most functionality.

For comment #12 fine -or maybe not :D-, so the steps you made are important. Because it works here and that is probably because i have something you don't have... or better the contrary :)

I reinstalled the package:
[root@localhost ~]# urpmi --replacepkgs adminpanel-qt

are you running rpmdragora from root user or by using polkit to get the rights?

and do you have /root/.rpmdragora after you run it once? and if what is its content?
I'm confused here it works and i got only the icon warning (that is true i have to provide icons instead of taking the drakx ones)

and neither to the gnome one :D

If you run rpmdragora as normal user do you have the info dialog saying:
"You are launching this program as a normal user.
You will not be able to perform modifications on the system,
but you may still browse the existing database." ?

To run rpmdragora as normal user just type into console as user
rpmdragora and press enter.

Ok now it works (i renamed the .rpmdragora)

The enter key should launch the research ?

Created attachment 5783 [details]
.rpmdragora that works

I can reproduce it
the problem is the parameter tree_mode
some tiles is set without any value

Doesn't work "tree_mode"
Works "tree_mode all"

* some times is set without any value

This happens only when launch rpmdragora from mana pan and not when run rpmdragora directly

(In reply to Dimitrios Glentadakis from comment #23)
> Created attachment 5783 [details]

Going by what you say later, this one can't work, it has no value for "tree mode"

(In reply to Dimitrios Glentadakis from comment #26)
> This happens only when launch rpmdragora from mana pan and not when run
> rpmdragora directly

always when launching it from mana pan, or only sometimes when launching it from mana pan?

The differences I see, if I ignore the order (which I don't think matters) are:

-filter 
+filter all
-mandrakeupdate_wanted_categories 
+mandrakeupdate_wanted_categories security
-tree_mode 
+tree_mode gui_pkgs

I can reproduce it at any time when i launch rpmdragor from mana pan only
Then , if you change the filter for the packages, it writes 'tree-mode' without value.

if that didn't already happen when starting rpmdragora from mana pan, then it could be caused by the bug and not be the bug itself :-/

Do you see "examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/*" lines when starting rpmdragora from mana pan?

btw, for me all those syntesis files in /var/lib/urpmi/ have
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root

Marja try to:

1. open rpmdragora from mana pan and change the package's filter.
2. Close the window
3. Reopen rpmdragora (through the control panel always)
4. You have no packages in the tree at the left column, and any search results to an empty list
5. open rpmdragora directly from the terminal
6. Change the packages filter
7. close the window
8. relanche rpmdragora from the terminal
9. You have the packages available

what is "package's filter" for you

Maybe i picked something else than you meant?

package filter i mean if it is a meta-pqckage, applicqtion gui, etc the first filter at left of the filter installed / uninstalled packages

(In reply to Dimitrios Glentadakis from comment #35)
> package filter i mean if it is a meta-pqckage, applicqtion gui, etc the

OK, then I had correctly understood. I've tried several times, switching back and forth between all packages and GUI packages only, but it doesn't make a difference, when I close rpmdragora without closing mana pan and then start it from mana pan again, I can still search fine.
(and I keep always getting those "examining synthesis file" lines)

Sorry, I can't reproduce and can't spend more time trying to reproduce.

I'm glad you can workaround it by starting rpmdragora directly

I seem to recall a bug related to rpmdrake for that. Workaround was to remove the configuration file and start ito again. I will check the read and write configuration file functionality and see if I can enforce the error chacking for the retrieved values

it is strange also that even if i delete the configuration  file , i can reproduce it again by repeating the same steps.

i understand that the rpmdragora when closing it doesn't write rhe righr configuration  value. But when ir is launched directly it does.

Dimitrios i can't reproduce it, but with the configuration you provide at comment #23 i can see the effect. And that is enough for me, I know that for some reasons rpmdragora wrongly saves the configuration, and I'm quite sure that happens somehow and sometime also in rpmdrake.
I'm fixing the read configuration operation to leave the default value if keys have empty values (there is only one case with empty values, but it's also as default atm) in future we could change the configuration file at all maybe if my change has other wrong side effects :)

Stay tuned to test new incoming package, and thanks for your report.

new adminpanel is building. I could not avoid the wrong writing since i was not able to reproduce the cause of the problem, but at least now you should not have a wrong reading.
Please reopen this bug (or open a new one) if you think it is not fixed.

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

I can reproduce it only in Greek language finally
Also the filters are not applied during my searches, i see all packages even if i have chosen only with gui, and the same if i choose only the installed packages, i see all packages, in Greek localisation only.

With the new version i don't have the bug because the null value is not written and when i restart i have the default value.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Dimitrios please open a new bug for filters (that i need to check if they are really implemented atm in rpmdragora though) and localization is just taken from rpmdrake atm, so not all is translated. That to avoid to overload translator at this stage.

Summary: rpmdragora: The packages' filters don't applyied in Greek localisation => rpmdragora: The search of a package doesn't have any result

last report at comment #42 shows that this bug is fixed, comment #41 needs a new bug report with further studies

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
