Can you still reproduce this with a recent version of Muon (2.1.3)? Hello Harald, Yes, I can still reproduce the problem with Muon 2.1.3 under KDE 4.12.3 (64bits). Steps to reproduce -------------------------- 1- Edit/Modify the softwares source in the following manner: Type: Binary URI: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu Distribution: saucy Components: main universe (The error is that Components should be *only* main and not universe) 2- As you close the secondary "Software Sources" window, a refresh is automatically executed. Actual results in Muon 2.1.3 under KDE 4.12.3 (64bits) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A small pop-up window with the title "Failed to Apply Ch..." with the content "Could not download packages" with a red square with a white "X" icon on its left-hand side. Below there is a toggable "Details >>" button and an "OK" button to dismiss the window. When toggling the "Details >>" button, there is no detail, no explanation, no text at all about the error: there is no error message. Expected results ---------------------- The toggling of the "Details >>" button should display some hint about the error, some clue about the issue, some explanation about the failure. Example given of expected results: "Impossible to recuperate http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/saucy/Release Impossible to find the entry « universe/binary-amd64/Packages » expected in the file « Release » : invalid line in sources.list or corrupted file" I am using Muon 2.1.3 Linux 3.11.0-18-generic x86_64 (64bits) Qt : 4.8.6 KDE development platform: 4.12.3 Kubuntu 13.10 (saucy) (resetting Bug report Status to CONFIRMED) Gérard Ah yes. So there is two distinct problems here: a) it talks about packages when really it means 'sources' b) it does not check whether error details are available at all, and conditionally show/enable the details button according to that Also, please do not confirm bugs yourself. > b) it does not check whether error details are available at all, and > conditionally show/enable the details button according to that One aspect of this bug that I find quite annoying is that I got less (none!) information about what could not be achieved when using Muon while I got more (all relevant!) information about what could not be achieved when using Konsole (terminal) and sudo apt-get update command. So, during 5 months or so, I knew there was something wrong with one (or many) software source(s) or with my configuration ... but never could figure out what, which configuration or source and how to correct it! > Also, please do not confirm bugs yourself. Oh...Sorry about that. Somehow, I wanted to change, to alter the WAITINGFORINFO resolution field. Gérard Using PackageKit nowadays, shouldn't have this problem anymore. |
