Bug#508838: upgrade-reports: etch -> lenny: don't keep dbus-x11 package
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal (or less, I don't know well)
>From Etch to Lenny on 3 PC, 2 with xfce and 1 with kde (both desktop the
standard from etch). In both cases the upgrade was OK. I make the upgrade
with (in this order):
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
Afther this, I have a funciponal desktop (kde or xfce) like in etch, but with
the following problems:
- I don't have sound from some apps that are configured for OSS /devs/ (no
problem, I read the bug 500460, and added the modules snd-mixer-oss and
snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules).
- In the Xfce desktop I can't see any notification through the
notification-daemon-xfce (for example, for safe remove a mounted usb-stick).
Prior to the upgrade I knew that this system works OK, I see at the installed
packages and see that the dbus-x11 package wasn't installed (and prior to the
upgrade it was, so it was removed in the process without my know :-?). After
I manually installed dbus-x11, notification-daemon-xfce turns to work OK.
In the 'KDE' PC there ISN'T installed the package dbus-x11 too, but I don't
know if it is needed for the notifications, so I use soo little this computer
and I don't use any notification. I don't know too if it was installed prior
to the upgrade. Now I test it for plug a usb-stik and copy a great file to
it, and all the notifications are OK but I think all of then was from the
konkeror filemanager and not for any notification daemon (I don't see if
there are any of them installed in the KDE computer).
My packages now installed from xfce in the 'XFCE' PCs are;
ii gtk2-engines-xfce 2.4.2-2
ii libxfce4mcs-client3 4.4.2-4
ii libxfce4mcs-dev 4.4.2-4
ii libxfce4mcs-manager3 4.4.2-4
ii libxfce4util-dev 4.4.2-3
ii libxfce4util 4 4.4.2-3
ii libxfcegui4-4 4.4.2-4
ii libxfcegui4-dev 4.4.2-4
ii notification-daemon-xfce 0.3.7-1
ii xfce4 4.4.2.1
ii xfce4-cpugraph-plugin 0.3-2
ii xfce4-icon-theme 4.4.2-1
ii xfce4-mcs-manager 4.4.2-3
ii xfce4-mcs-manager-dev 4.4.2-3
ii xfce4-mcs-plugins 4.4.2-4
ii xfce4-panel 4.4.2-6
ii xfce4-panel-dev 4.4.2-6
ii xfce4-session 4.4.2-6
ii xfce4-utils 4.4.2-8
ii xfdesktop4 4.4.2-7
ii xfdesktop4-data 4.4.2-7
ii xfwm4 4.4.2-5
ii xfwm4-themes 4.4.2-1
That's all. I see that the problem is'nt important, and maybe only related to
the xfce desktop. But it brokens the user interface for mount and unmount
usbs...
Many thanks for this superb distro. Excuse my bad englusht. Greetints.
Martintxo.
