Dead for Ubuntu prior 17.10 ? #744

Closed repsorp closed 5 years ago

repsorp commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Is this project dead for Ubuntu versions prior 17.10 ?

Error message when sudo apt-get update: "The repository 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/manuelschneid3r/xUbuntu_16.04 Release' does not have a Release file."

Not any Ubuntu version prior 17.10 here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/manuelschneid3r/

Thanks

Hmm, ah, I see. I noticed just now that I was getting 404 too. Turns out xUbuntu_18.04 was renamed to Ubuntu_18.04.

Sadly seems that Albert has been discontinued for Ubuntu versions prior 17.10... :-(

I guess not even 17.10. Albert 0.15 needs qtcharts (released in 5.6) and some 5.9 features.

Yes unfortunatle the name was confusing ppl because its close to Xubuntu.

Hmm, I see. I actually thought naming it as xUbuntu was a common practice. After all, I'd think it was meant that it was compatible with all Ubuntu variants (hell, I'm using KDE neon). I'm also even more convinced of this cause I'm subscribed to SMPlayer's openSUSE repo, and they also use xUbuntu.

EDIT: MEGASync repo uses xUbuntu too, so that's that :thinking:

ok sorry... found it..

BobbyWibowo commented 5 years ago

Yes, sorry guys. Wanted to make things right. I guess xUbuntu is correct as @BobbyWibowo said.

It seems you just added backwards compatibility for 16.04, which is building again in Travis without QtCharts: https://travis-ci.org/albertlauncher/albert/jobs/473133125#L2713

Will you bring the repo at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/manuelschneid3r/xUbuntu_16.04 back as well? That would be really great as I love using Albert and I will stick to 16.04 for a while...

ManuelSchneid3r commented 5 years ago

I try, but i am a noob when it comes to packaging. I could need some help on OBS.

It seems you managed to resurrect the 16.04 repo, thanks a lot!

After upgrading albert to 0.16 today I encountered some issue though on Ubuntu 16.04.

First issue was albert not starting at all: [FATAL:default] No frontends available -- [(null)] This was fixable by providing the plugin dir on the command line: albert --plugin-dirs /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/albert/plugins/

Second issue was albert not showing its UI: 17:55:24 [WARN:default] file:///usr/share/albert/org.albert.frontend.qmlboxmodel/styles/BoxModel/MainComponent.qml:60:13: Type HistoryTextInput unavailable HistoryTextInput { ^ 17:55:24 [WARN:default] file:///usr/share/albert/org.albert.frontend.qmlboxmodel/styles/BoxModel/HistoryTextInput.qml:1:1: module "QtQuick" version 2.9 is not installed import QtQuick 2.9 // Min Qt version 5.9 since ubuntu 18.04 LTS was released, needed for textEdited signal ^ 17:55:24 [WARN:default] Could not retrieve settableProperties: There is no root object. 17:55:26 [WARN:default] Could not retrieve input: There is no root object. 17:55:26 [WARN:default] Could not retrieve settableProperties: There is no root object. This was due to the qmlboxmodel being used. Editing the config to use the widgetboxmodel solved this: ~/.config/albert/albert.conf frontendId=org.albert.frontend.widgetboxmodel

Not sure if this is fixable for 16.04 with the old Qt version. But a Qt version check that falls back to widgetboxmodel or tells the user what the problem is would be very helpful.

I'm running Linux Mint 18.3 (based on Ubuntu 16.04) and got this error. Your solution works, thanks!

Though I didn't have the second error. It was my first run and the first-run config prompt set widgetboxmodel as the default anyway.

ManuelSchneid3r commented 5 years ago

Got them back working (after days). Fedora RPATH should be fixxed as well.
