bl-welcome script errors [solved].

bastiano · 2016-07-13 22:49:04

Hello,
I've installed bunsen in my old Eeepc netbook 1000h and I've got some errors with 'bl-welcome' script when updating after adding the backports sources and Pepper flash player.
Screenshots to click on

Update with backports

Update with backports -detail-

Pepper

Pepper -detail-

After that I did run the script a second time, there were no problems with updates and upgrade; but with Peppper flash yes again.

NB You can copy and paste terminal output here, using [ code ] tags, instead of screenshots

Did you choose not to use a network mirror during the install? Please post the output of

cat /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

Do your sources look like this?... Sticky: Sources - sources.list and backports details

bastiano · 2016-07-13 23:16:52

I don't remember the installer asking for using a network mirror, sorry.

My sources are like in the sticky link. Thanks for the quick answer.

It doesn't anymore since our Stable ISOs were released, the mirror is automatically set. That's not it.

deb http://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian bunsen-hydrogen main# added by bl-welcome

That line is getting borked by the hash tag, '# added by bl-welome'. Try moving that part one line down and running sudo apt update again.

bastiano · 2016-07-13 23:46:49

I didn't move that line down, but I removed it.
It seems to be a problem with Pepper package not being available.

  
  Press 'p' for Pepper or 'a' for Adobe,
  any other key to cancel.

Don't remove it entirely, you need it for bunsen updates. Add it back so it reads...

deb http://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian bunsen-hydrogen main

The pepperflash plugin is in jessie, so you have a sources error somewhere still, or your Debian mirror is down for maintenance...

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/pepp … in-nonfree

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

That doesn't report anything? sudo apt-get install -f , maybe?

The point of us using httpredir was that it would serve up the best available mirror, but try using another mirror temporarily? Sorry, just guessing here ATM.

hhh · 2016-07-14 00:32:30

BTW, updating bunsen sources has failed for me many times in the last 2 days, but WFM again after a bit. It might be that our server is glitchy ATM, or it might be my Internet/wireless connection, which has sucked for the last month.... always, actually, wireless or even ethernet, for the last 20 years that I've had to deal with Comcast/Xfinity (nVidia finger to them).

bastiano · 2016-07-14 00:40:53

Added the line back.
It doesn't get error when running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, but when trying to install the package pepperflashplugin-nonfree

E: Package 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate

First I thought it was a bl-welcome issue, but it's just a package thing. Maybe I should close this topic here?

No, leave it, it's fine.

This doesn't make sense to me. You have the right repo, it would seem...

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main non-free contrib

Let me see if I can install it...

damo · 2016-07-14 00:57:36

Try a different mirror. It is working for me ATM with mine...

apt-cache policy pepperflashplugin-nonfree

hhh · 2016-07-14 01:09:16

Same error.

I think I've solved it... you have a 32 bit install but the plugin only works with 64 bit chromium/Chrome...

@bastion, give us your browser and OS info and a link to the content you're trying to play, I'm sure there's a workaround or six.

So in fact it is a bl-welcome error.

32 bit support for pepperflash was dropped after the script was written, and testing for a 64 bit system before offering it is on the TODO list for the new version of bl-welcome, expected to come out in a few weeks.

@Bastiano Thank you for the bug report and sorry for the inconvenience.

hhh · 2016-07-14 01:43:11

Yes, Google dropped 32 bit Chrome right before the new year (and we have started to as well), I think because they're focusing on new hardware...

http://venturebeat.com/2015/11/30/googl … arch-2016/

Debian still offers 32 bit open-source chromium now and in the near-ish future, but the pepperflash plugin is finished on 32 bit...

https://packages.debian.org/sid/chromium

bastiano · 2016-07-14 03:49:44

Well, I'm glad of having found a bug if it is helpful.
I installed bunsen in this 32 bit laptop and run 'bl-welcome' after restarting the computer. I tried to install flash, just in case, when the script reached that point and choosed Pepper. When getting that error I posted here. I use Firefox (or Iceweasel) and haven't had problem playing any content yet.
Tell me if I put this topic as solved.
Thanks for your help.

Not... quite, necessarily. See here: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 405#p32405
