Hi Aleksej,

I can't install with TazPanel from my LiveUSB

I use the micro SD card of my phone as USB storage.
I've partitioned it as follow:
- sdb1 for the phone
- sdb2 for LiveUSB
- sdb3 for a full install
- sdb4 for /home

I've created the LiveUSB on sdb2 (latest rolling ISO, 20150719) and it works well.
I now try to do a full install on sdb3 from this Live but when I select LiveUSB in Select source media, the installer propose to me to choose between /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb or... /dev/sdb :-(
The number of the partition never appears and what ever I choose, the installer returns Error: Partition not found. It seems it expects a device and not a partition.

I replaced SOURCE="/dev/sdb" by SOURCE="/dev/sdb2" in /root/tazinst.conf but the installer modifies the file as soon as I click on [>Proceed to SliTaz installation]
I edited the file again and run tazinst execute tazinst.conf -> OK

No problem for Select partition or home partition

Hi Aleksej,

root@rolling:/home/sda5# tazpkg desc tazdrop Package "tazdrop" is not installed.

Is it normal? I thought it was possible to display the short description of all packages even if they weren't installed; it exists in the packages.desc file.
tazdrop | 946 | SliTaz desktop Drag N' Drop tool | office | http://www.slitaz.org/

Hi Ceel,

TazInst bug "/dev/sdb or /dev/sdb or ... /dev/sdb" fixed.

You can download fixed tazinst version 63 right now from this page of the Cooker web site, or
Wait tomorrow until fixed package will pushed to SliTaz mirror and mirror you use will syncing.
________

TazPkg function "desc" was re-written. New package tazpkg version 819 was cooked.

Few tests for "tazpkg desc" (sorry for Russian):

Package installed and has only short description:

$ LC_ALL=C tazpkg desc gtk+

Description of package "gtk+"
================================================================================
The GIMP Toolkit.
================================================================================

Package not installed and has "long" description:

$ LC_ALL=C tazpkg desc bison

Description of package "bison"
================================================================================
Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts an annotated context-
free grammar into a deterministic LR or generalized LR (GLR) parser employing
LALR(1) parser tables.
================================================================================

Installed package with "long" description:

$ LANG=C LC_ALL=C tazpkg desc nano

Description of package "nano"
================================================================================
The Nano package contains a small, simple text editor which aims to replace
Pico, the default editor in the Pine package.
================================================================================

And we have this "long" description translated to Russian (file /var/lib/tazpkg/descriptions.ru.txt belongs to package tazpkg-desc-ru):

$ tazpkg desc nano

Описание пакета «nano»
================================================================================
GNU nano — простой в использовании текстовый редактор, созданный как замена для
Pico, псевдографического редактора из пакета несвободной почтовой программы Pine
(теперь доступного как Alpine под лицензией Apache).

В nano добавлено множество функций, которых не было в pico, включая:

  * включение и выключение функциональных возможностей;
  * интерактивный поиск и замена с поддержкой регулярных выражений;
  * команда перехода к строке и столбцу;
  * автоматические отступы и подсветка синтаксиса;
  * автодополнение названий файлов и поддержка нескольких буферов;
  * интернационализация.

Hi Aleksej,

I tried the --root= option in tazpkg

root@slitaz:/home/ceel# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
root@slitaz:/home/ceel# tazpkg recharge --root=/mnt

:-( not cool...
278 installed packages -> this is the current installation, not the one on sda5

root@slitaz:/home/ceel# tazpkg up

Seems that --root= option doesn't work with tazpkg up (TazPkg 819)

Hi Ceel,

I already have changeset to the tazpkg to process --root option for every tazpkg command.
But I not released that changes because they have not been tested well, and possible strange bugs and side-effects exists.
So, I started over again from scratch. Someday --root will work for all tazpkg commands, it's not simple work.

Hi Aleksej,

I wonder, whether You know, that installing from PCman File Manager of an already downloaded package fails, when You are logged in as user root. TazPkg does not show any information about the package and isn't able to install the package. This worked with version 806 for root, and still doesn't work with version 819 and 824 for root. Please look at the picture trying to install gdmap-0.8.1.tazpkg. For the user tux it works well as usually with all versions.

Please apologize my comments, if You already know it. TazPkg is very long, You are working quite a while on it, I don't understand half of Your problems, but I wish You to solve them.

Hi Ceel,

Oh, I'm so sorry :(
Everyone who installed tazpkg-824 need to fix it manually.
Package tazpkg-825 fixed, but you can't install it yet.

Steps to fix tazpkg:
1. Open terminal.
2. Become super user using command "su" and root's password (type "s", then "u", then "Enter", then blindly type super user password (it is root by default), then press "Enter")
3. Open tazpkg script in the nano text editor:
  nano -w /usr/bin/tazpkg
4. Scroll down to the line 26 and change it's content:
  . /usr/lib/tazpkg/tazpkg-find-depends
  into
  . /usr/libexec/tazpkg/find-depends
5. To save changes press two keys in the same time: Ctrl and letter O, then press Enter
6. To exit press two keys in the same time: Ctrl and X
7. Close terminal

Hi Aleksej,

thanks, I have testet version 826 and now it is alright with installing by clicking on any package. I have hoped, that this solves another bug, but this bug still exists.

The dialog from the menu Manage locale packages produces an empty box even after recharging. The last good one, that worked, is Slitaz rolling 2015-05-31. Look at the picture with the empty box not containing any locale packages. it is like this since 2015-06-08.

Hi Ceel,

Two weeks ago you tried the command
tazpkg up --root=/mnt

Please try again with tazpkg-836, it should work now.
http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=tazpkg

Also, you can try
```
# tazpkg recharge --root=/tmp/not/exists
# tazpkg up --root=/tmp/another/folder
```
to update package DB from scratch (make new TazPkg working environment).

Hi Aleksej,

I updated my SliTaz rolling installations this evening (didn't do it for 11 days): 19 packages to update -> [Toggle all] and [Install]

When I ran tazpkg up in a terminal a few minutes later:
root@slitaz:/home/ceel# tazpkg up
Recharging repository "Main" ================================================================================ Checking... [ Done ] Database timestamp: 08/21/15 02:01 ================================================================================ Repository "Main" is up to date. cat: can't open '/var/lib/tazpkg/blocked-packages.list': No such file or directory Package Repository Version Status ================================================================================ curl Main 7.40.0 New build sqlite Main 3.8.11.1 New build ================================================================================ You have 2 available upgrades (0 blocked)
282 installed packages scanned in 1s Do you wish to install them now? (y/N)
I don't understand why these 2 packages haven't been updated previously.

Then I tested tazpkg up --root=/run/media/ceel/rolling/
It's ok excepted that /run/media/ceel/rolling/var/log/slitaz/tazpkg.log hasn't been updated.

Hi Aleksej!

I tested rolling version of this week and I noticed that there's no download progress bar been shown when we install a large package, like Firefox or some Office Suite. During the download process, there's only a black space that remains a long time at the terminal before some message be shown.

It would be interesting to have a progress bar, so the user can state how is the download going. Something like this:

firefox-official.tazpkg: 53% of 41MB downloaded

Is it possible to include this functionality to TazPkg?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for my poor Engligh.
