Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

Doesn't appear to do anything.  Not even a pop up window asking for a password.  Is it broken?

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

It's not broken for me.
Do you not see a submenu of apps to install, or is the problem that nothing happens when you click one?

eg, if I go to Install Favourite Packages > Multimedia Editors > Install Mhwaveedit
this pops up:

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

I can see the submenu of apps, but that terminal window doesn't pop up for me.  Mind you, I did change my default terminal to Sakura.  Would that have any effect?

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

OK the first thing to try is to temporarily set x-terminal-emulator to something different, eg lxterminal, and see if the issue persists.
Menu > System Settings > Edit Debian Alternatives

EDIT: I tried this on my system and yes there is an issue with Sakura using that script. I'll have to have a look at it, and thanks for finding the bug!

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

I'm sorry but Sakura does not support the -e option of x-terminal-emulator correctly. I've just spent a couple of hours trying to find a workaround but without success.

Unfortunately you are left with the options of setting a different terminal as x-terminal-emulator (most of the other common ones work), or just not using that menu item and installing packages via Synaptic package manager or directly on a terminal with apt.

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

I swapped out Sakura for Terminator and it works perfectly now.

Except, I keep seeing this...

Someone might want to take a look at that.  it's not a deal breaker, since you can simply ignore it and carry on, but it might still be of concern,

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

The question about quitting or not is coming from our script, but the actual warning is from apt itself.
You've got an apt key stored in a deprecated place - a key coming from a third-party source it seems.
See 'man apt-key' for the details, the DEPRECATION section. Specifically, you might try:

man apt-key wrote:

       If your existing use of apt-key add looks like this:

       wget -qO- https://myrepo.example/myrepo.asc | sudo apt-key add -

       Then you can directly replace this with (though note the recommendation
       below):

       wget -qO- https://myrepo.example/myrepo.asc | sudo tee
       /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/myrepo.asc

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

I don't know where my repositories are, and I can't see them using either Synaptic or Software and Updates, so I'm going to leave it.

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

Well, something put a key for packages.bluemail.me in your /etc/apt/trusted.gpg which suggests an added repository.
Run 'inxi --repos' to see what apt repositories you have enabled.

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

I misremembered.  It's actually something to do with gpg keys

ERROR MESSAGE: W: https://packages.bluemail.me/repos/debian/./InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

You've got a number of third-party repositories enabled.
if there are any you are no longer using it would be better to remove them.

How do I do that?  I can't access the repos.  Either through Synaptic or through Software and Updates

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

1) You shouldn't launch graphics apps with 'sudo' if at all possible, it's a security risk. Try 'pkexec synaptic'.

2) Try uninstalling software-properties-gtk and run synaptic again. If that runs OK, but you don't know how to remove or add repositories manually, I suggest that would be a good topic for some web searching.
EDIT also this: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8898
and this: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewforum.php?id=21

3) There's something wrong with your system anyway. This doesn't look like a fresh install of BunsenLabs.

Exactly - root on my machine.

I have always had problems with "pkexe" from day 1.
But that a subject for a different thread

Re: Install Favourite Packages Option In System Settings

pkexec synaptic works OK on my BL Boron machine.

There is an issue on Wayland though, see here for a workaround: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=9115
