BETA Bug Squash Rush

Attempting to install Wine from WineHQ repos tries to delete Cinnamon and XOrg (and all the graphical applications) #170

Closed canofjuice closed 4 months ago

canofjuice commented 4 months ago

As the title says, i wanted to install Wine and all of it's dependencies to make sure everything is present for what i want to do (setup a game). While the install was going, i noticed that it was REMOVING NVIDIA DRIVERS AND XORG and quickly cancelled the command.

I used the WineHQ repos to have the latest version of Wine available to me. Yes, i am aware that i'm using a Beta version as a daily driver but i think it's better to do this since i don't do much testing in virtual machines.

I hope this bug report will prevent similar incidences from happening when the full version comes out.

In addition to Wine, trying to install Steam also tries to remove my NVIDIA drivers and XWayland. image

LOL :) Yeah, I've also watched the Linus video where steam removes his desktop 😀 Applying all available updates should solve the issue, although of course this shall never happen and apt should be smart enough to update your packages instead of removing them. Hmm.

Could it be you added a wrong release of the WineHQ repo? Please share the output of inxi -r in a terminal (if you aren't getting a list of apt repos, try capitalising the r).

But Linus got a warning that he was going to remove important packages and forced to write "Yes, do what I want". And you not?? Maybe Clem has to mark these packages as important??

The steam-installer package works fine here.

Have you added PPAs? You've got an unsupported nvidia driver version there (555).

If this happens on a clean install of the beta without additional repositories or foreign packages, then we can open it again.

Just did a clean reinstall, with Mint packaged drivers, issue doesn't occur.

Bummer, i wanted to use the absolute latest NVIDIA drivers to make sure games would work.

@canofjuice If you open up nvidia-driver-535_535.183.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1_amd64.deb and look in the change log you will see this:

Seems recent enough. A lot of the 555 changes won't really help Linux Mint at this point as they are Wayland fixes that are more important for Wayland only desktops like Fedora and POP!_OS COSMIC.

There is no 555 driver in Ubuntu repos. You have added an "untrusted" third-party PPA to your software sources. Bring this issue to PPA maintainers. I have an nvidia card, tested both 535 (default) and 550 (available) drivers, installed steam-installer, removed steam-installer, installed valve's steam deb installer, removed valve's steam installer during my tests and this never happened.

Ah, thanks for the info! I just want to be on the bleeding edge when it comes to GPU drivers and the kernel. Especially since 6.10 will include NTSYNC for better performance with Windows games.

Hmm, i didn't know 550 drivers were available from the regular Ubuntu repos. I Assumed they didn't ship it since they didn't show up in the driver utility so i added the PPA. Thanks in advance!
