update-manager crashes on 23.10

Open 7sparrow opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

I just installed the latest build and it went really well! Everything run's smoothly except for a few things post system setup.

My software updated is crashing everytime, even on restart. Im not sure how to troubleshoot it. Any tips/docs?

The keyboard backlight isnt working. Im on an M1 - should it work automatically? What should i check/do otherwise?

GFX drivers - Seem's we cant enable night light due to the current driver. Is there a workaround?

Thanks and great effort so far!

Hello @7sparrow o/

For software updates, could you try this in a terminal sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade ?

Keyboard backlight came up recently in the irc. From kaazoo advised: "Gnome has a keyboard brightness control in the menu on the top right of the primary screen, where you can also change wifi, sound volume and so on. " or try enabling it with brightnessctl from a terminal.

For night light, most DEs have issues on arm64 except KDE. More info on: https://github.com/UbuntuAsahi/ubuntu-asahi/issues/53

Yap, works perfectly fine now. Upgrade/update works but the software updater is still crashing.

I dont know how i missed the keyboard section. I cant tell if it appeared after i installed brightnessctl if not. Either way, its also working.

Is there a way to have timeout for backlight just like mac ? currently if you turn on, it just stays on infinitely

Thanks, I managed to reproduce the update-manager crash issue on a fresh 23.10 installation. I'll see if I can find out what's wrong.

For a temporary fix you can sudo apt reinstall dbus. I am still investigating why this is needed. Probably something broken in the image we currently ship.

Found the bug that caused this in our build system. Traced it down to wrong usage of tar. We will have to see if we can fix this in an update. chown root:messagebus /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper should fix the problem.

Should also be fixed in the newest installer images now.
