I've removed the "PackageKit" branding in commit 55eb7657ec1ccf1d4f5b5ffc9b1c61ed050955af -- I'll fix the rubbish error reporting in a minute. That method really shouldn't have failed like that -- what's the message in the "more details" box please? Thanks. "failed to get a TID: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1" PK version is 0.3.1 btw. Okay, there are three errors here: 1. The daemon failed to start 2. The libpackagekit library didn't recognise the error code 3. The GpkClient session code didn't have a good translation for the code Addressing these my end: 2: commit 3cc92e5665d57f6e597580506ef3bb501aa2cf8b Author: Richard Hughes <richard> Date: Wed Sep 17 14:33:24 2008 +0100 bugfix: when we can't start the dameon from a DBUS method, emit a proper error code rather than just 'failed' :100644 100644 cc710d6... 284be12...

M libpackagekit/pk-control.h 3: commit 4542d787232df61abafcd687ae03fdd88d87c48a Author: Richard Hughes <richard> Date: Wed Sep 17 14:53:18 2008 +0100 bugfix: use the new CANNOT_START_DAEMON error code to display a more useful message to the user and for 1:, I need to know what happens when you (as root) type this: /usr/sbin/packagekitd -v Thanks. I get a "failed to cache rpm database (1)" error. I don't think it's worth to look into this any further as the system seems to be horribly broken (it's a test vm tracking the unstable distribution after all). I will install a new VM when the next alpha (beta?) is out, I'm sure the error will be gone then. That means you've got a very broken rpmdb -- you can try to --rebuilddb if you are feeling lucky, but the system looks pretty hosed. I'll close this bug, but please re-open if you can reproduce. Thanks for all your help. |
