22.04 Upgrade?
NullDev opened this issue · 7 comments
Is a 22.04 Rebase for kWSL planned?
If I try to upgrade via KDE Upgrader I first get
Please install all upgrades first
Upon upgrading the held-back packages (kactivitymanagerd kinfocenter libkf5activitiesstats1 xdg-desktop-portal) I get:
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
Finally, do-release-upgrade throws new errors:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
This can be caused by:
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
And a small question: Why is discover automatically started as root?
Hi, do you run the instance in WSL1 or WSL2?
If it's WSL2, you can probably unhold those packages and try your upgrade again.
apt-mark unhold kactivitymanagerd kinfocenter libkf5activitiesstats1 xdg-desktop-portal
Otherwise, updated 22.04 packages would be needed to work around limitations in WSL1.
One limitation is a lack of PackageKit (systemd) support so I replaced it with KDEsu, and the reason you see that warning in Discover. Another is WSL1 can't deal with sqlite write-ahead logging so that has to get patched-out of kactiviymanager/stats.
I ran it in WSL2, and I tried unholding the packages. I then received the second error I mentioned
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
Would a WSL2 only fork of kWSL be possible, without those limitations (and maybe 22.04 base)?
I feel like the WSL1 compatibility restricts it's potential quite a bit
Have you tried 'sudo' in front, like so?
sudo apt-mark unhold kactivitymanagerd kinfocenter libkf5activitiesstats1 xdg-desktop-portal
One day I'll look at rebasing, but this project was initially made for WSL1.
Sorry, should've been more clear:
The unholding works just fine (yes, I used sudo)
But if I attempt to start the upgrade again (after unholding the packages), the KDE Upgrade GUI fails with
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
Aha ok... sorry I've never gone through the KDE Upgrade GUI before so was a bit confused.
Sounds like the only thing holding you back is that you need to launch the utility with kdesu so it has adequate rights to upgrade the system.
Ill give that a try later, thank you!
I will also try to make a fork optimized for WSL2. Thank you for your support so far!
Quick update: Unfortunately so far I wasn't able to produce a stable 22.04 build :/
Would be cool if this issue could remain open for the time being. Given that 20.04 support will be dropped in a couple of days
