Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to install the new packages on a normal ubuntu 8.10 installation? 

I tried to follow the wiki for opengeu 8.04 (I added the repo key and changed hardy to intrepid in the repo adresses)

But I always get this error:

W: GPG error: http://greenie.sk intrepid Release: Die folgenden Signaturen konnten nicht überprüft werden, weil ihr öffentlicher Schlüssel nicht verfügbar ist: NO_PUBKEY 6B2226D9969C86CA

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

regards,

Haynes

you must import the GPG key to your package database..

wget http://greenie.sk/ubuntu/dists/repo.key
sudo apt-key add repo.key

[alexandre]

nevermind I forgot some hardware wont work until I upgrade but I cant upgrade until the hardware works.
Will the live cd include all of the updates for intrepid up to the point its released?

[darkmaster]

Yeah Alex, possibly even more if in these days we are gonna find any error and fix it.

you must import the GPG key to your package database..

wget http://greenie.sk/ubuntu/dists/repo.key
sudo apt-key add repo.key

  I was missing this command:
sudo apt-key add repo.key

thx

Has anyone noticed the new OpenGEU upgrade assistant? It will make all E17 upgrades waaaaaay easier and safer
You can find it in Menu --> Settings --> System

[elastic]

So I did a lot of investigation and solved most of the Probs :-)

1. no entry for shutdown or restart the system in the menu - ther is an entry under enlightenment but then gdm appears and another klick is needed (or shutdown-command at the terminal) - please bring back the menu-entry

ad.1) it looks you have still old configuration installed - in older opengeu intrepid configs, there was this problem, then i fixed it. The new version is there already.

Quaker told the truth and not ;-)  - there were two configs installed - for any reason apt kept rhe old one and installen the new one, too - I removed the one which was not  in the 8.10 repos (but why it had a higher release-number than the newer one ?) - but that did not solved my problem - I needed to delete all .e* files in home an make a "opengeu-default-config" now the System entry is there :-)

5. no OpenGEU-splashscreen while booting up the system

as you promised the next update fixed it

4. in extra menu (OpenGEU) now only "Dokumantation" and "Preferences" are left

OK, thats a feature not a bug

7. Mount Error at every start of e17: "Can't mount device - org.freedesktop.HAL.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy - org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always" - but as I can see all my devices are mounted correctly

ad.7) on Standard, it does not say this, because there is no Places module loaded - in opengeu, it is - and Places module uses HAL config for mounting - so it looks you have your HAL configs broken - that's too not OpenGEU problem

It was not my HAL config - it was a upgrade failure (but a Ubuntu-one ;-) ) - I had installen Kconfig for styling my 4 KDE-Apps (Amarok, Tellico, K3b, K9copy) - in 8.10 Kconfig does not longer exist but unfortunately any libary seems to depend on dolphin so it was installed - doplphin actually has a known bug with Policitykit and thats why the error appears - removing dolphin fixes the problem ... - for anybody who needs dolphin here the solution:

Install and start GUI frontend for PolicyKit: policykit-gnome (policykit-kde shipped in 2009 is rather broken) to start terminal: polkit-gnome-authorization
Go to section "Freedesktop => Storage => Mount file systems from internal drives.” Click the ‘Grant’ button and then select your username from the drop-down box  (it’s probably safest to set ‘Must be in active session on local console’). Then click ‘Grant’.
This  tool is also usefull if you have any issues mounting or unmounting removable devices, ... have a look on it ;-)


What I didn't fix now:

2. still dislike the layout of the new settings manager

OK if that is the new version from e17 - it works but the old layout was so much closer to the rest of the system ...

3. tried ecomorph - did not find where to configure it ...

ad.3) ecsm, and you can too set some keybindings and mousebindings in E's config dialog

maybe I'm to dumb for that tool ... - disabled dropshadow and bling - logged off - changed to ecomorph logged in - configured anything in ecsm - nothing happend ...

:~$ glxinfo|grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

so 3d should work :-(  - what I have to do else ?  -btw the new geutheme didn't bring me the entry for ecsm ...

6. everytime a pop-up at system boot which tells me, that my network is now conected - did not find where to disable

ad.6) it looks you have etray-nm running with opengeu profile and with standard, not. And etray-nm runs nm-applet. And network manager applet says that message. So, that is not our problem, but nm-applet config problem

OK a nm-applet config problem - has anyone an idea to disable that dumb popup (I really don't like popups ;-) )?

To say a few more very positive things: anything else works perfect :-)  - and first time my printer works without any probs under an Ubuntu Distri - its an old Laserjet 6p and former Ubuntus always lost the driver every few printjobs ... noe it works :-)

He DM, Quaker, Mike, ... - great work an I think most problems I had the last days will be solved with a new Live-CD because the were only upgrade-based ;-)

wow long text ;-)

i never got compiz to work under ubuntu but i find echomorph works flawlessly for me

[goshawk]

Well, this has been an adventure.

I've been installing the various e17 and OpenGEU files as they've showed up in my Update Manager, but I noticed they weren't updating Ubuntu from Hardy to Intrepid. So, I started that process manually, and succeeded in wiping out my entire OpenGeu installation. 

After a number of additional adventures, I've managed to get Intrepid installed and to reload OpenGEU from packages. But, like elastic, I'm still having some issues.

1) If I set a theme for Gnome in GEUTheme, it is not implemented until I select applications>system tools>gnome-settings. Then, when I log off, the theme is lost and needs to be reset the next time I log in.

2) I'm getting some odd video artifacts with iBar. I have it set to scroll through the available icons. At some point, the original shapes of the icons remain on screen -- transparent but outlined in black -- although the icons themselves are still visible and still move underneath.

3) OpenGeu Upgrade Assistant doesn't work. When I select it, I get an authentication window, but then nothing happens after I give my password.

4) And much less important, I can't get Ecomorph to work. Either it gives me a blank screen when I try to run it or it gives no effects at all. I suspect it's due to the fact that my laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeo X1400 rather than an NVidia video subsystem.

[alexandre]

Can anyone tell me if VLC works in fullscreen with this release?

[zoe-scutterbug]

Well, this has been an adventure.

3) OpenGeu Upgrade Assistant doesn't work. When I select it, I get an authentication window, but then nothing happens after I give my password.

I seem to have the same result ...does it mean there is nothing to upgrade, if it is as simple as that, then maybe it ought to say so.

to temporarily fix the problem with upgrader, run this

sudo mv /usr/bin/opengeu_upgrade_script /usr/bin/opengeu-upgrade-script

i hope Luca will fix this soon.

and for elastic: send here the output of ecomorph.sh command.
