Description of problem: According to the github pages qt-fsarchiver and qt-fsarchiver-terminal have to be installed. In the current M9 alpha round 2 the version of qt-fsarchive is 0.8.5.21. When launched it complains that it needs at least version 0.8.5.10 of qt-fsarchiver-terminal, but this M9 has qt-fsarchiver-terminal 0.8.6.7. qt-fsarchive goes on, but the result is that the possible partitions are not listed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: each time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Duplicate of bug 28791?
I've read this time more thoroughly that bug, and yes, I could agree it is a dup. But in Comment 16 you state: "After removing them (and roughly fiddling with the spec file), qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-1.mga8 builds and the partitions show up properly in the main window." So why do we have now that older not working version in M9 ???????
DavidG (maintainer) did never update the package in Mga8 or cauldron as this package is a PITA to build, see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28791#c3 I only fiddled around at this time to find out if it is possible to get this fine piece of software to work...it was possible, but not in a way that it could be provided as a package update. So the package maintainer should decide what to do with this piece of software...
Aaah i found something. According https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/qt-fsarchiver/current/SPECS/qt-fsarchiver.spec?revision=1850442&view=markup there is a spec file for qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-3 but it was never build or pushed to the mirrors. This change was done 6 months ago.. As papoteur did the last change..cc'ing him..

It was when I was apprentice. Thus I have now submitted to the build system. If feedback is OK, then I will apply also the changes to Mageia 8.

qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-3.mga9.x86_64.rpm is now built.
Thank you all for working on this. I remember the original bug about it wanting the terminal installed. I thought it had been fixed... (In reply to papoteur from comment #5) > Thus I have now submitted to the build system. > If feedback is OK, then I will apply also the changes to Mageia 8. Very encouraging. If you do end up doing the M8 fix, please note that on Bug 28791.

I did a short test under a 64bit Plasma cauldron with qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-3.mga9 and qt-fsarchiver-terminal-0.8.6.7-1.mga9. The initial problems (mentioned in bug 28791) don't occur. The program starts and partitions are shown. More torough test should be done by Herman and other users who use this software regularly. BUT: It is not possible to start qt-fsarchiver from the the application menu. It fails because of a wrong link. The application menu entry points to /usr/bin/qt-fsarchiver but the real installation is under /usr/bin/qt-fsarchiver In the last revision of the spec file, the /usr/bin/ path was removed. This change should be reverted...

A new build is done. qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-4.mga9
Installing qt-fsarchiver pulled in also fsarchiver, and qt-fsarchiver-terminal whose earlier absence (if not installed) caused it not to work. So that is fixed. fsarchiver-0.8.6-2.mga9 qt-fsarchiver-terminal-0.8.6.7-1.mga9 qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-4.mga9 Could not find it in LXDE menus anywhere, so launched it from terminal (qt-fsarchiver). It popped a sudo password box, then a note about where to read ints intructions for use, then the UI. No console errors at all. The UI showed all partitions on the disc (except swap), which was the original complaint. For me, this is fixed, with many thanks to all who in the past worked on it, and papoteur for this coup de grace. Will others on this bug please try it also. I am for closing *this* Cauldron bug Fixed. @papoteur bug 28791? Will you do M8 also? If so, please note on *that* bug. Otherwise we can close it WontFix (saying it is due with M9).
(In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #11) > The UI showed all partitions on the disc (except swap), which was the > original complaint. I meant the original complaint was that it did *not* list the disc partitions, but does now; so that also is fixed.
Where can I download the new versions?

fsarchiver-0.8.6-2.mga9 qt-fsarchiver-terminal-0.8.6.7-1.mga9 qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-4.mga9 64 bit Plasma Netinstall Vbox machine: Installs fine opens fine (from application menu and terminal) partitions are shown One problem (don't know if it is related to my Virtualbox install): I can close the program just fine via the "x" in the upper right corner of the application window. But if i try to close the application via the "Exit" button in the menu bar or in the application...it completely hangs itself and gets unresponsive. Won't close...
qt-fsarchiver-0.8.6.7-4.mga9 Well, here on real hardware, using LxQt, I can close it no problems using: - the window title bar menu 'X Close' - the window title bar top-right 'X' - the application 'Exit' menu - the application window 'Exit' button - Alt/F4 Oh, this time the first time I launched the application (terminal), I got: "mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/media/sda3’: File exists" but not subsequently. Previously, comment 11, I reported "No console errors at all". This is not something to worry about, because the application launches OK. Lots of applications put out disconcerting console messages. > close the application via the "Exit" button in the menu bar > or in the application...it completely hangs This looks a VirtualBox problem. What desktop were you using? I can try that. @Herman : your response please.
I only have access to QA-updates, I don't do cauldron.
Hi Herman, For Mageia 8, this is here: bug 28791
That bug has some very -ve comments, which preumably apply here too. In the light of which, I tried (Cauldron): $ sudo qt-fsarchiver [sudo] password for lewis: after which it popped its own password dialogue, then nothing happened, the terminal went unresponsive: Ctrl/C had no effect. I could find nothing 'fsarchiver' with ps to kill, but I was able to close the terminal window.
If this package really gets killed off (see bug 28791), then this bug and that one should be closed 'invalid' or 'wontfix'.
