Version: 1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9) OS: Linux Am I wrong or is there no possibility in adept to review the console output after committing changes? At least I haven't found any option to do so. Please excuse this bug report if I'm wrong. It would be a great enhancement to be able to review the console output after committing changes, as there is a lot of valuable information shown when installing/removing/configuring packages. And if I'm right there is no access to this information at the moment (version 1.0 in Ubuntu 5.10).
In 2.0 version of adept manager it is there, under view menu. Not in the other adept apps though (installer, updater). I keep this as a wishlist to make it available everywhere (which should have been done right away, probably).
I run Adept Manager 2.1 on KDE 3.5.5 on Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy for x86. Summary: Adept Manager has problems installing software that displays license agreements through the console since they require the user to hit OK or accept them (such as sun-java5-jdk 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1) which isn't possible to limited console accessibility. Explanation: When I tried to install Sun's Java 5 JDK 1.5.0-08-0ubunutu1 I ran into a problem where the installation would hang. Clicking "Show Details" button next to the progress bar revealed that a license agreement from Sun had to be approved before continuing. This message was cleary being displayed to the console but I had no way of selecting OK. I had to close the program and leave the installation midway through. (Sidenote: This caused Adept to act strange since apparently the app was still busy, even after a reboot. "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get update" fixed this. Also, I couldn't remove the partial installation, so I ended up just installing (apt-get install) to finish it up.) Work-around: I did the update/install from Konsole, agreed to the license, agreed to some other dialog, and everything turned out OK. Some more access to the console is needed. I can't modify this bug's status/classification or see it. This is more than a "wishlist" bug and it's a problem for all versions I'd assume, so please change this bug's status or make this its own bug.
Comment #2 is, I understand, a different issue from the original report. The license problems have been addressed by implementing a native debconf GUI inside adept itself. As for original report, 3.0 is no longer using embedded konsole, but will instead (probably in .0, maybe in .1) offer a transcript of dpkg and such.
