I have initiated the use of CVS for revision control for ubuntuzilla. So, you can get the latest "beta" versions of ubuntuzilla out of the ubuntuzilla module on CVS (http://ubuntuzilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/ubuntuzilla/ubuntuzilla/)
just pull the latest version, tagged "HEAD".

anyone who can spare some time to play around with the beta versions on, say, on a livecd (so as to avoid potential mishaps with your production system).

once the "beta" has seen and passed some testing, i will tag it with a release-version tag, and post the release on the file release servers.

note that if you just want the stable release and don't want to help with testing, you should just visit the Ubuntuzilla project site (http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net) and get the stable release from there.

i will post messages to this thread when a new beta is available, so that you will know when and what to test. ;)

a new testing version is available in CVS (http://ubuntuzilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/ubuntuzilla/ubuntuzilla/).
it implements the "unattended" mode (command line option -u)
there is also a new -l option to supply the desired localization through command line (otherwise, how would it run unattended?).
run ubuntuzilla with '-h' to get the help info for all command line options.

so, please test the unattended installs, uninstalls, updates for all three packages, and see if everything works as expected.

test also the "regular" interactive mode functionality, to make sure nothing is broken.

thanks in advance to all testers!

The latest revision in CVS now has some more new features. I can see that in the week or so that this thread has existed, nobody actually got around to testing anything, but hey, i figure, why not pretend someone is listening. :)

a new automatic update checker has been implemented. it's really cool, really!

See the revision log for details.

please test this thing backwards and forwards, and see if anything falls out. :)

i should have learned better than to expect someone to actually test something after reading this thread, but... here i go again. :)

ubuntuzilla version 4.2.0 is ready for release, but i'd like to get some independent testing to make sure things work.

a lot of changes made. the most notable ones being that ubuntuzilla now comes in a .deb for easier and more consistent installation/removal, as well as with a built-in self-updater.

for more detailed change list, see the CVS changelogs (http://ubuntuzilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/ubuntuzilla/ubuntuzilla/ubuntuzilla.py?view=log) for revisions 1.17 - 1.19.

if anyone finds something amiss, please let me know. :)

the 4.2.0 .deb file is attached to this message.

Would you like to set up automatic update checking for the official Mozilla build of Firefox (recommended)? This feature will regularly check for updates to Firefox, and put up a small unobtrusive notification message with update information, when a new release is available. [y/n]

Thank you for using Ubuntuzilla. Pretty much successful. It's a little weird that I was prompted for a password in the middle of the installation. I don't think fifteen minutes had passed (for the sudo timeout).

Also, the script checks that libnotify-bin is installed, but the .deb won't install without libnotify-bin. I think it'd make sense to not have libnotify-bin be a dependency (a simple .deb that installs by itself would be good) and then have the script check for that package only if you want the update feature.

hey, nice, so it works after all, eh. :)

as to libnotify-bin - well, that extra check is left over from when ubuntuzilla wasn't in a .deb yet. i think i'd rather leave it as a dependency, and remove the manual check. i feel better using an "official" method of keeping track of dependencies, rather than the ad-hoc method i had before.

same thing goes for libstdc++5 and libgtk.

what do you think?

also, by the way, if you use "gdebi -i" instead of "dpkg -i", it will automatically take care of dependencies for you. using gdebi will be the method i recommend in the instructions (or just doubleclicking the .deb, which uses gdebi-gtk).

aysiu

August 10th, 2007, 12:22 PM

Well, is it really a dependency if it's needed only for the "yes" option on self-updating Firefox? Perhaps it could be a recommended package? Doesn't dpkg allow for recommended packages?

Thanks for the tip about gdebi, by the way.

nanotube

August 10th, 2007, 01:45 PM

it is a dependency to do update checking, for firefox, tbird, and seamonkey. it comes into play both when doing automatic update checking through a cron job, as well as when doing a manual update checking (with -a 'checkforupdategui'). if i leave it out, then i'll have to put in the apt-get check when doing the update check itself, and that means the cron job will need sudo rights, and that would mess everything up.

i am pretty sure it is a general practice to include all dependencies for built in program features, even for features that may not be the "main" part of the program. so i think i'll just keep it as a dependency. it will let me avoid doing manual libnotify-bin checking, and keep things nice and clean.

i did not put firefox or thunderbird main packages into the dependency list, because the need for those depends on what the person is using ubuntuzilla for, but libnotify-bin is needed for all of them.

does that seem reasonable to you?

August 10th, 2007, 02:03 PM

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

August 10th, 2007, 03:32 PM

let me know if you think of anything else. discussing things with you always seems to make them clearer in my mind. :)

i'm in the process of moving the CVS repository and the file releases over to ubuntuzilla project space (made a request to the admins and waiting to hear from them). I will make the 4.2 release once the ubuntuzilla project is all set up.

aysiu

August 10th, 2007, 03:43 PM

Another thing I was thinking of as a feature request (I know you already have a lot of things you're thinking of, but I'll just throw this out there): man page?

Right now, you do ubuntuzilla.py -help which is fine, but I think it may help some veterans (or even relative beginners) to know that man ubuntuzilla would work.

nanotube

August 10th, 2007, 04:45 PM

that's a good idea - the thought has crossed my mind, but then i realized i don't know how to make man pages. :)

i'll look into it when i have some time - man pages /are/ nice.

Hi Nanotube,

Thanks for creating the ThunderbirdNewVersion page and keeping the Tbird pages updated. I based my Wiki updates on the Thunderbird discussed from the x86_64 forums. I didn't know about existence of this forum on Tbird.

I have a question about the 64-bit Ubuntuzilla script. As far as I can see, the script installs only the 32-bit binaries from release.mozilla.org and, per http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/#tochome23, requires 32-bit libraries to work. However, the repository supports native 64-bit binaries. Am I missing something?

hi michael!
i wanted to contact you to discuss the wiki updates, but you didn't have a wiki user page with contact info, so i had no choice but to just jump in and edited on top of your edits. :) thanks for adding that third-party repo, it's a pretty good alternative method.

as to the 32bit vs 64bit, yes, you're right, ubuntuzilla only installs the 32bit binary, because those are the only binaries that are provided by mozilla itself. but since they work on 64bit using the 32bit compatibility libraries, i titled the ubuntuzilla method as "32bit and 64bit"... it isn't supposed to imply that it installs native 64bit binaries, only that it will work on 64bit systems.
what do you think?

thanks for seeking out these forums and posting! :)

Well, you now know who I am. Please to meet you too,

Actually, I think this 64 vs 32bit stuff is fairly confusing. First of all, the 64-bit Ubuntu that I installed with all defaults doesn't have most of the needed 32-bit libraries. I struggled some tracking the right libraries before I got 32-bit Ubuntuzilla install to work.

Also, this 64-bit vs 32-bit stuff is very confusing for Lightning users. There have been quite a few discussions on the subject on x86_64 board. Lightning extension is binary, so it is arch specific and must match the Thunderbird arch. The 32-bit Lightning is officially released, and 64-bit Lightning is also available in contribs (see my ThunderbirdLightning page). Oddly enough, 64-bit Thunderbird is not available in contribs :confused: Anyway, I struggled a bit trying to explain on the Lightning page how to install the right version of Lightning.

well, this issue of missing ia32 libs is going to be moot starting with ubuntuzilla 4.3.0, since i will be releasing two .debs, one for i386, and one for amd64. the only difference between the two will be that the amd64 will have the ia32 and other 32bit compatibility libraries as dependencies, which should minimize any problems for 64bit users...

but yes, it is all pretty confusing - and i don't even run 64bit ubuntu! :)

by the way, just to be certain - what is your output on your 64bit ubuntu install of command
uname -m
it is "x86_64", right?

nanotube

August 17th, 2007, 12:58 AM

hey aysiu,

ok, so the man page is now in existence. :)

try out the latest version (4.3.0) of ubuntuzilla - install the .deb, then try
man ubuntuzilla

fancy, eh? :)

Yes, it is x86_64. The .debs are called amd64, just for confusion.

In my experience, the ia32linux libs were not enough. I also needed some gtk libraries at al. How are you going to test the amd64 package? I'd love to volunteer, but I use this 64-bit computer for "production" so I can't experiment with removing libraries etc.

Also, what are your thoughts on integrating Lightning in ubuntuzilla?

hm, well, the testing for the supporting libraries has been done before by others - which resulted it the "help" item for 64bit users on the ubuntuzilla site (check it out, it's there toward the end)
i just added those dependencies into the .deb - everything else stays exactly the same as the i386 version.

about lightning - my understanding is that it is just an extension for thunderbird... so once you install thunderbird using ubuntuzilla, you can just go and download the lightning extension, and install it on thunderbird like any other extension? why would ubuntuzilla need to do anything about it?

i appreciate your willingness to help with testing, and i totally understand your reluctance to mess with a production machine. thanks for the thought, anyway. :)

They packaged lightning as an extension to the thunderbird, but it's really an embedded binary application that is architecture dependent (e.g. lightning also requires dynamic libraries). Most extensions are truly XUL-based architecture independent. The tricky part here is that lightning must match the architecture of parent Thunderbird application. Thunderbird doesn't check for this level of details, so it's entirely possible to install 32-bit Lightning into 64-bit Thunderbird and pull one's hair our trying to make it work. Check our more details at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThunderbirdLightning. So, I had to differentiate between the repository method and ubuntuzilla method since they result in Thunderbird binaries of different architectures.

ah-ha... i will have to make that clear in my instructions, then, since my amd64 version installs the 32bit thunderbird, along with the compatibility libraries, not a native 64bit thunderbird (which is not available from mozilla).

thanks for pointing that out. :)

wanted to run the script so i can upate firefox

double click,

first error say libnotify-bin not satifsfied

downlaoded libnotify-bin package fro debian.org

second error

libc6 depency not satisfied

dowloaded that
third error

libgllib2.00 blah blah depency not satisfied

dowloaded that and i get the message

fourht error

failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache)

What on earth does this mean and how do i fix it?

thanks
Mani

hi,
ehrm... if you use gdebi to install, it should automatically take care of the dependencies and all that... what are you using to install the package? dpkg?

also, if you're getting packages manually, don't get them from debian.org, get them from packages.ubuntu.com

debian packages are frequently incompatible with ubuntu.

so... uninstall all those debian packages you got,
then run "apt-get install -f"
then run "sudo gdebi -i /path/to/ubuntuzillapackage.deb"

see how that goes. :)

What can I do .:) Plz lemme know :D

thanks for your offer to help! are you looking to code, or to test? :)

if you're up for doing some python coding, then we can discuss possible new features, etc.

if you're up for testing, then i'll just pm you whenever there's a new release that needs some testing.

Hi nano,

Thanks for helping this newb. I reinsatlled ubuntu dapper (didn't know how to uninstall the other packges) and tried the gdebi command. I have the ubuntuzilla file stored on my desktop and executed the gdebi command as sown below and you can see the error message i get. help please!

Thanks

XXX@XXX-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo gdebi -i ubuntuzilla-4.4.0-0ubuntu1-i386.deb

when i run the apt -get install command, i get the follwowing error! like I said this is probbaly some rookie stuff. thanks for your help!

xxx@xxx-laptop:~/Desktop$ apt-get install -f
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

nanotube

August 28th, 2007, 09:50 PM

the apt-get error is because it needs to be run as root (with sudo).

also, my bad: gdebi doesn't need a '-i', you should just run a
sudo gdebi ubuntuzillapackage.deb

if that still doesn't work, then you can try the following:

first command:
sudo dpkg -i ubuntizillapackagename.deb

second command;
sudo apt-get install -f

and that should take care of the installation...

don't know what's up with gdebi.. maybe the dapper version is substantially different than the one in feisty...?

thanks for testing! :)

(by the way, for the benefit of others reading this, we're testing the latest release candidate, attached to this bug report thread: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1996632&group_id=202789&atid=982990 )

ftp://releases.mozilla.org is having some problems. (well was a few minutes ago - but just tried again now, it's back up.

try again if you'd like.

hey, that's the beauty of having many mirrors to try, it just rips right past the error. heh. :)

so it installs... did you try to see if it runs, detects the plugins, if the link is correct (after installation, if you launch /usr/bin/firefox, does it launch the right one, the mozilla build?)

it doesn't seem very likely to happen in the near future, as i have been rather busy lately.
maybe if someone else steps in to make a gui on top of the current ubuntuzilla...

Hey aysiu,

so, there appears to be an issue trying to run firefox3 on ubuntu dapper.
see the discussion between me and user 'stig' on this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=832407&page=2

our attempt to avoid compiling gtk2.10 appears a failure (but maybe you could give it a try on dapper yourself and see if this is the same for you)

so i wonder if you could help me out in getting ff3 running on dapper?

let me know if you have the time (and if you think it is even worth it to worry about dapper at the moment. true, it's "supported" for another year, but... )

I just recently tried Ubuntuzilla on Intrepid and Mint 6 and was quite impressed, although I had a minor problem in Mint. Anyway, I'm available, as time allows, for testing (I have a spare hard drive).

So feel free to message me if you want me to give something a test drive! My internet is fairly quick: 2500 KB/s DL and 400+ KB/s UL and unlimited downloads so if I can help please give me a shout!

I should add that I never could get Dapper to run on this machine.

Ubunuzilla, sounds cool. What makes it different for the other releases? Somewhere I can find info on it?

How do I test? Ok I have done like 5-6 Ubuntu installs, different releases on different PCs. I haven't really gotten down into it just yet though. Like a feature of the PC won't work (ie wireless) and I'll get fustrated and with tale tucked between legs crawl back to windows. I'm learning more commands and how stuff works in Ubuntu/Debian. I dig it.

What exactly do you want as far as info after the install attempt?
Just a yeh it worked, or it stopped at point ??? in the install?

I don't have a problem at all throwing down on some live cds. I've got like 3 PCs to that I can do that on. I even have a spare PC I don't mind going full install all.

Hi,
Another version to test, please see this post
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6474668&postcount=8

I have made the package and plugin path detection generic, not depending on hard-coded ubuntu version checks. should be both more "future-proof", as well as usable on any debian/ubuntu derivative distro, not just ubuntu.

Would appreciate some testing and feedback, before I release it into the wild.

Okay, running Intrepid, and I just
1) downloaded ubuntuzilla-4.6.0-0ubuntu1-i386.deb to my /home/ directory
1) uninstalled Seamonkey 1.1.14 via earlier ubuntuzilla-4.5.9-0ubuntu1-i386.deb
2) uninstalled ubuntuzilla-4.5.9-0ubuntu1-i386.deb via Synaptic
3) installed ubuntuzilla-4.6.0-0ubuntu1-i386.deb by double-clicking on the downloaded file
4) reinstalled Seamonkey 1.1.14 via new ubuntuzilla-4.6.0-0ubuntu1-i386.deb

And everything went well. My Seamonkey plugins are linked to my Firefox plugins, just like in 4.5.9. Flash and Flashblock work perfectly.

Lookin' good from my end.

Hi,
That's already in existence, it's part of sourceforge release monitoring functionality. so... go to this page:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=202789

and click on the "monitor" button next to ubuntuzilla. you will then get notified by email every time a new release is made.

you have to have an account on sourceforge for this to work, of course, but those are free and no-hassle to create.

Okay, super. Yeah, I had to login and study that page for about 10 minutes before I finally saw the little "Monitor" button. But I'm monitoring the package now. ;-)

Heh, yea, it's not very easy to find... Where do you think would be the best place to put a direct link to that on the homepage somewhere? I.e., if you were a person looking to sign up for email release notifications, where would you look first? (Since you were in that situation just now, I thought I'd ask for your opinion :) )

First test completed successfully with Ubuntu 8.10!

I was running the "test" version Ubuntuzilla so I began by running:

ubuntuzilla.py -a remove -p firefox

Then I went to synaptic and chose to "completely" remove Ubuntuzilla. (same as purge & remove)

No problems:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox

Well, I showed one "not-upgraded" package that was not related.

Not sure if it's important but I always make sure that Firefox is "closed" when I do these installations. Two ways of doing that: #1: Use either Abiword or Open Office so you can still cut-n-paste commands, or #2: Use Opera browser while you're ding this.

Linux Mint 6 is next, then Mint 5, then Ubuntu 8.04.2, hopefully within 24 hours!

Then the rest of the old stuff! (Dreading Dapper!)

But, I'm tired so maybe I did a goof!

it looks like you are trying to /remove/ rather than /install/? is it possible that you are trying to remove without having installed (i.e., there's nothing to remove?)

Another thought comes to mind. Should I also be trying this with a previous version of Ubuntuzilla installed?

Of course that should come later, because most people installing Ubuntuzilla are not going to have a previous version of Ubuntuzilla installed.

One thing at a time! Right?

I think I should retire for the night ............ I'm silly tired!

As I said before, if I'm way off track don't hessitate to shout! I want to help, not hinder, so feel free to criticize!

i'd say, don't worry about that. 99% of people who do use ubuntuzilla to install something use it only once per machine per package. further, the only thing that changes in this release is the plugin path detection... and that only inasmuch as the /method/ of detection changes, the path remains the same. so it shouldn't matter. so yea, don't worry about that bit. :)

thanks for the testing, enjoy your sleep :)

nanotube

January 6th, 2009, 09:44 PM

Oh, and we (I) did add that manual plug-in path in some installattions!

shouldn't matter when removing, since all that changes is the symlink inside /opt/firefox, which get's summarily deleted upon remove anyway.

Well, that said, it is a bug if ubuntuzilla doesn't recognize when there's nothing to remove, so i added a check to make sure that something was actually installed by ubuntuzilla before trying to remove it.

So, attaching the latest testing .deb, that includes that extra check. :)

Just tried this version (from post #69) on 8.04.2 and all went perfectly:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox

Retesting Linux Mint 6, first removing the Mozilla build of Firefox, then removing the older version of Ubuntuzilla, then installing the version of Ubuntuzilla from post #69, then installing the Ubuntuzilla build of Firefox.

A few errors during removal, but it all reinstalled OK. Plug-ins linked properly, etc:

lance@lance-desktop ~ $ ubuntuzilla.py -a remove -p firefox
If the original Ubuntu repositories version of Firefox is a full version number older than the installed Mozilla build (e.g., 1.5 vs. 2.0), your profile may now be incompatible with the older Firefox version. If that happens, you can restore the backup profile that was made when you installed the Mozilla build.
Are you sure you want to remove the official Mozilla build of Firefox , and revert to the Ubuntu repositories version [y/n]?

Ubuntu 7.10 worked great (using the version from post #69). This time I happened to think that even though I don't use Thunderbird or Seamonkey I should perhaps just check. All went flawlessly.

(Hmmmm, I didn't realize that terminal eventually "cuts-off text) In the future I won't bother posting the entire install script unless I see even a potential problem.

No problem reverting in Mint 4 either That's something I want to revisit in Mint 5 & 6. I can't imagine why anyone would want to revert, but just in case:

mint@mint:~$ ubuntuzilla.py -a remove -p firefox
If the original Ubuntu repositories version of Firefox is a full version number older than the installed Mozilla build (e.g., 1.5 vs. 2.0), your profile may now be incompatible with the older Firefox version. If that happens, you can restore the backup profile that was made when you installed the Mozilla build.

Hi
added a few extra sanity checks during remove
so when you test the removes, could you please use this latest ubuntuzilla version, attached to this post?
just install this .deb over the old ubuntuzilla, and then use the ubuntuzilla remove command to remove.

Ah, will do, but I just did a clean install of Mint 6 (it was needed for unrelated reasons anyway) and installed the Ubuntuzilla version of Mozilla Firefox from post #69, then I did a removal and it all worked fine:

lance@lance-desktop ~ $ ubuntuzilla.py -a remove -p firefox
If the original Ubuntu repositories version of Firefox is a full version number older than the installed Mozilla build (e.g., 1.5 vs. 2.0), your profile may now be incompatible with the older Firefox version. If that happens, you can restore the backup profile that was made when you installed the Mozilla build.
Are you sure you want to remove the official Mozilla build of Firefox , and revert to the Ubuntu repositories version [y/n]?

Successfully removed the Mozilla build of Firefox.

Are you sure you want to disable automatic update checking for the official Mozilla build of Firefox? [y/n]
Please enter 'y' or 'n': y
If you change your mind, you can always go back and enable the automatic update checker by running this script with option '-a installupdater'.

That old Mint 6 had been played with and modified to heck and gone, and at one point after reverting to the Ubuntu/Mint version of Firefox I got a "can't launch ......... blah, blah ..... child process", and I wanted to be sure that was just a glitch related to an over-modified install.

Anyway, reverting worked fine, Firefox launched fine, etc.

I'll try the new one right now though.

I used the newest one both to install and remove. Worked great! Made sure Firefox launched in both scenarios! Plug-ins properly linked, etc.

Great work! I've tried even the previous version (from post #69) to install and remove from Mint 4 and Mint 6. I'll still give Mint 5 a double check a little later, but I think you're good to go!

excellent :) i'll make the release, then.

Dapper was by far the most fiddly to work with, but I've always had heaps of trouble with Dapper!

what happened with dapper? did ubuntuzilla have any problems?

Sorry I took so long, I got wrapped up in other things.

Mint 5 went flawlessly, both installing and removing!

excellent :) i'll make the release, then.

what happened with dapper? did ubuntuzilla have any problems?

:)

No problem with Ubuntuzilla and Dapper. Dapper has always been difficult for me to obtain a readable resolution. I can always get it worked out, but I'm legally blind and it's a major pain in the butt!

That and with both Gutsy and Dapper it always begins with:
"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnotify-bin .....".

Which is easily resolved if you can see what you're doing:)

It's just a matter of enabling another repo or two and then your installer does the rest of the work.

Anyway, thanks for all the hard work. It's great to be able to use this with Ubuntu and Mint!

Okay, running Intrepid, and I just
1) downloaded ubuntuzilla-4.6.1-0ubuntu1-i386.deb to my /home/ directory
2) uninstalled Seamonkey 1.1.14 via earlier ubuntuzilla-4.6.0-0ubuntu1-i386.deb
3) verified /opt/seamonkey folder was gone
4) uninstalled ubuntuzilla-4.6.0-0ubuntu1-i386.deb via Synaptic
5) installed ubuntuzilla-4.6.1-0ubuntu1-i386.deb by double-clicking on the downloaded file
6) reinstalled Seamonkey 1.1.14 via new ubuntuzilla-4.6.1-0ubuntu1-i386.deb

And everything went well. My Seamonkey plugins are linked to my Firefox plugins, just like in the last two versions. And both Flash and Flashblock work perfectly.

Just ripped out the old kludgy chunk of code for sending notifications, replaced with code using python dbus interface.

the release candidate for the new version is posted in this bug tracker item:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2825626&group_id=202789&atid=982990

Please give it a testing.

Specifically would be nice if someone who hasn't yet upgraded to ff 3.5.1 would install this, and wait and see if the update notification comes up.

i added the display of actual language names to the localization choice process, since just the codes can be confusing (at least a couple of times people got uk=ukranian instead of en-GB for UK english).

Here are the release candidates for this next version - would appreciate some testing before i push it out to the world.
