Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Hi,

Quick suggestion (warning: I haven't actually used fapman yet myself as I don't install stuff all that often) - which would take some work, but.. - have you considered an attempt at integrating fapman in with maemo.org a bit? Being able to rate applications, view ratings, etc.. would doubtless help the extras-testing queue speed I think.

I'd be (cautiously) optimistic about throwing some of my time into this. Cautiously because I don't have a lot of it. :)

I think fapman should hook up with KISStester and see what spawns :D

(These names are awesome..)

Since attila77 is already working on KISStester, I don't feel the need to duplicate the functionality in fapman. And even reusing the code would require some work as fapman is c++ and kisstester is python... They are better as separate apps.
Edit: They could have a dependency on each other and communicate using dbus if necessary, I guess.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

First off thank you for this. Runs circles around Nokia's version. I was wondering as maybe in a future build if you could add virtual keyboard support. You could incorporate it by placing another button down along the screen edge, that would only show up when you are viewing applications (for installation, upgrade, or deinstallation).

This way you wouldn't need to open the screen for fast searching.

If it is not added, the app rocks.

I welcome integration with other tools that can help streamlining the process (I will probably provide some way of command-line invocation that would take you straight to the vote dialog).

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Thank you so much for this app. Hands down the most useful

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

The app hangs at "updating catalogs" for me

I'm currently connected via edge/2g. the normal app manager works fine.

It doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I ran conky and there is no download/upload and the cpu is minimal

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

I'd have a feature suggestions for future versions.

1. Show in the application list with different colors, that what version of the app is available (meaning -testing and -devel).
2. While installing user could choose which version to install. I for one don't know now which version I'm running of Pidgin Protocols Plugin, since the decsription said it was from -devel/-testing.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Hi everyone,

since I installed fap I couldn't update any programm.
For this reason I uninstalled it again. Now I cannot upgrade any program with the built-in appmanager. And I can't install fapman either...

Any help? :eek:

First, fapman only keeps record of the latest version of every package available (since that's what apt-get normally installs anyway when asked). Changing that would require a lot of work.
Second, it's possible to tell apt-get to install a specific version of a package but the dependencies would still get pulled from whatever repo that has the latest versions of them. Could lead to problems.

Multiple repositories are shown for packages that have the same version of them available in all of the listed repositories. It also shows you the version number, you know... :)

If you don't want to install from a certain repository, then you'll have to disable it.

It's likely that there are broken packages/dependencies in your system. Running apt-get from command line should reveal those.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Could we get an option to where fapman stores cache? I'd like to reuse the apt-get update. For example, I could schedule apt-get to update every few hours when a certain wifi is up (like home) so that my repos are never over a few hours old. I can't use that with fapman. I understand that separation helps with confusion, but an option can't hurt, right?

Also, is it a decision to not remember the last sort order (reverts to name ever app start) or is it simply not implemented yet?

Oh, and, a small bug (might be already reported): When in portrait mode and updating catalogs, the "finished" yellow banner reverts app to landscape and it doesn't rotate back until I go to landscape and then portrait again.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

It's not supposed to remember it, because there's an option to set the default sort order.

Looks like a broken python package somewhere...

Version 0.6.4

* show user/hidden category apps in the list of installed apps (remove only)
* show "recommends" and "suggests" in package dependencies if there are any
* check rootfs and opt free space on startup and warn if low
* option to disable automatic catalog updates
* option to start fetching changelogs immediately when package dialog is opened
* warn about immediate conflicts when selecting a package for operation (note that this does not notice all possible conflicts)
* don't use hildon banner in portrait mode
* use the proxy settings for fetching package date information and changelogs
* package list read speed optimizations
* switched to garage bugtracker

Source is now available from garage too (git).
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/fapman/

When reporting bugs to the bugtracker, please note that broken packages/dependencies (probably the majority of errors you're going to encounter) are NOT fapman bugs. I will mark those as invalid unless they are reproducibly related to some other bug. Use this thread instead for reports about broken packages if you have to.

Maybe one more bugfix release (if required) and then I'm going to try what kind of feedback I get from extras-testing...

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

I have used the new garage account to create a new feature request: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...1808&atid=6317

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

recently, I've been getting a few errors in FAPMAN. (Love this app btw) It occurs when trying to install/upgrade anything. It will say an error occured (does not say which specific error) and says to look at the log. Also when trying to use the built app manager, I no longer see any apps. Just says non availible.

The olg says:

E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header

2d

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Earlier, I wasn't able to see "Angry Birds", "Bounce", "SPB Brain Evolution" in the fapman. But with this latest version, I am now seeing all my installed apps.

Great Update and a Great app/tool...

Thanks again :)

Today morning, the built-in app manager took around 15-20 minutes to list my installed apps. For the curious, I have installed around 20-25 apps. May be even less actually.

Extras/Ovi/Devel/Testing catalgoues were enabled.

fapman is a breather for my N900.

Have you, for some reason, manually created or edited files in /etc/apt/ ?
Because that seems like a syntax error in /etc/apt/preferences (which should not even exist by default)

That's one I've not seen before. You could try deleting the contents of /opt/fapman-cache/lists/, then updating the catalogues again in fapman. It might also be worth running "apt-get -f install" as root in X Terminal, just to check whether that reports/fixes any issues.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

You're a genius, no 2ways about it, it's so fast, I was getting pissed off with the built in one basically not working for me, its so shite so thanks a million man.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Version 0.6.5 comes with small "reliability enhancements" and has also been promoted to extras-testing. Remember to test thoroughly before giving thumbs up/down.

* ignore upgrades to pinned packages and warn about install/remove
* warn if trying to do a system upgrade

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

hqh,

Ever since applying this patch: (thanks MohammadAG)
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=60599

I continue to get unmet dependiecy errors in FAPMAN. It is in regard to Mupen64 which isn't even being updated. I guess Mupen64 has a dependency that is unmnet. I'm guessing it might be as a result of the above patch. Not that there is anything wrong with teh above patch, but the package for Mupen64 doesn't recognize the process it replaced. (I'm speculating and am probably totally wrong)

However, the built in app manager, is able to install, and upgrade without issue.

Do you know what the hangup might be?

2d

Edit: The log file suggests running apt-get -f install. Trying to run this it says I have a package that needs to be installed. Ask for a confirmation to install it, and then ends by saying that dpkg has returned an error.

The exact output of the log (FAPMAN Log) is:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mupen64plus-arm: Depends: libsdl-ttf2.0(>= 2.0.9) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try'apt-get -f install' with no packages(or specify a solution).

I'm going to try to unpin the patch from above and see if that will resolved this (at the expensive of fasters scrolling in menus)

You could try "apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0" (or even "apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0=2.0.9-1osso0+0m5"). I seem to recall having had problems with upgrading the same library myself recently. I think it pull in several other new packages as part of the install, so by default apt-get won't do it.

Can't be unpacked? Sounds like a download error then. Does it help to run "apt-get clean" first?

That looks like the same error I had, yes. You'll need to use "dpkg -r libsdl-ttf2.0-0" first to remove the old version (or possibly "dpkg --force-depends -r libsdl-ttf2.0-0"), then the install should work.

But it finally worked let me see if that clears out my errors in the FAPMAN log.

Thank you for your help, once again.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

unfortunately, I was able to remove and purge the libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but when trying install it again, I got the exact same error as before.

Any ideas?
