Synaptic and kernel-remover don't start after upgrade 25.05.

[m-puzirew]

Synaptic shows (when in terminal) some GTK related errors, kernel-remover simply does not start.  Maybe, fixes will appear in repos in few days. I think there's something about incompatible GTK3 theme after upgrade gtk / gnome libs to 3.8.

As I expected, installing newest Adwaita Elements theme from gnome-look  solved the problem, but it's just a beginning. I have to make total revision of my installed gtk themes now

Kernel-Remover works fine on KDE. It depends on

Code: [Select]

gettext-base, dctrl-tools, ssft, creativecommons3

It also works fine on LXDE or XFCE from X if you start it with Alt-F2 "gksu kernel-remover".

on 2014/05/27, kernel-remover worked fine with Alt-F2 "kdesu kernel-remover".

I have not tried it in the interim, but as of today it will not work either from a terminal or using Alt-F2. In the terminal, there is no output, the display returns to a root prompt.

Running kernel-remover -F displays the same dialog produced by kernel-remover -h.

It will produce the expected results if I start it with kernel-remover -f

I just used it within the hour, on a fully updated KDE system, started with Alt-F2 "kdesu kernel-remover".  What is your DE?

[ghstryder]

KDE - dist-upgraded this morning.

I did not notice the "No arg for -F option" output earlier so I will show it here.

Code: [Select]

# kernel-remover -F
No arg for -F option
kernel-remover
     -F parameter    use parameter as the graphical frontend
                     one of text | dialog | kdialog | zenity
     -f              proceed without asking, do complete cleanup
     -h              show this usage

kernel-remover gui works fine here on kde

[DeKa]

I start with su-to-root-X-c /usr/sbin/kernel-remover
or with Alt+F2 kernel-remover.

[dibl]

I start with su-to-root-X-c /usr/sbin/kernel-remover

That should work, although if you have not modified the default path, all you need to do is su to root, then "kernel-remover".

or with Alt+F2 kernel-remover.

You need either gksu or kdesu, depending on which DE you have.


Alt+F2 gksu kernel-remover

[melmarker]

gksudo, gksu, kdesudo would be possible too - but i'm old fashioned and start the kernel-remover from the menu of the flavour. Works perfect every few month for me. Sometimes it make sense to use the menu.

(It may be that i'm to influenced by windows - but hey, klicking on menus work fine in the most cases  )
