After adding several ppa's in muon version 5.6.0, the packages for those ppa's FAIL to load for installation from muon. If you check the sources via muon, the ppa's are listed. The packages just never show up even if you update the repositories. This is NOT just muon related. It also happens in muon-discover. You can still load the ppa packages from the CLI however. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open muon 2.Add ppa either from within muon or via CLI 3.Update muon Actual Results: I've added four ppa's. I've checked that they were properly loaded from both the CLI, muon, and muon discover. ALL show that the sources are listed in the apt.conf.d folder with appropriate keys. However, every time I open muon or muon discover, packages from these four ppa's are not show. The following are the loaded ppa's: ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer ppa:webupd8team/java ppa:linrunner/tlp ppa:videolan/stable-daily Where I'm not seeing the packages are from webupd8team and grub-customizer namely. Expected Results: What I expect is for packages in properly loaded ppa's to show up in muon or muon discover. Discovered running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS in VirtualBox prior to it's release.
Hi Terry Thanks for the Bug report. I tried to replicate this using both Muon 5.4.2 and the latest build 5.6.0 I was unable to replicate. In my case both version correctly reloaded their sources list after adding an additional PPA, via the Configure Software Source option. I then used the Filter by Origin option from the left hand window panei of Muon, and could see Oracle Java 8, 9 etc...
Hi, the package from the ppa shows up in the "Filter by Origin" as pointed out by Rick, but writing the name in the search bar makes it disappear! It looks like search is failing. Terry, can you please confirm that this is the bug you are seeing?
Carlos, I can indeed confirm your sighting within muon. the ppa shows up in the "Filter by Origin" as pointed out by Rick as well as seeing the package disappear when typed into the search box. Search is indeed failing. I also installed (and I hate to mention this) synaptic to see if it had the same issues. Synaptic did NOT have this issue so I think you're on to the real culprit. It's the search function that is failing.
Searches are performed using the Xapian index, which must be kept up to date. When Muon notices that the list of packages has changed, it requests an update of the index. Unfortunately, the script that should start the update is failing. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579834 Workarounds: * make the change described in the LP bug referenced above * manually update with: sudo update-apt-xapian-index --update * wait for the cronjob to update the index (at 6:47 every Sunday, by default ;) Terry, thanks for finding the bug and reporting. Please add yourself as affected from the bug linked above, such that it gets more visibility. I'm leaving this bug open since Muon seems not to pick up the changes when the update of the index has finished (it must be restarted), and that must still be investigated.
