set_size_request is ignored [update-manager details is one line]

Suggest it's a dupe of Bug #739647

Sam_: it's not a dupe of that bug, because the other bugs is about the error dialog specifically, while this is about the terminal shown when an install progress is expanded.

Reassigning to aptdaemon package, the package providing the dialogs displayed in update-manager.

Robert, you're right of course. Although screenshots may make it easier to tell. If this bug is about the install progress dialog, then Bug #819201 comment #2 isn't a dupe of Bug #739647 it's a dupe of this one here.

Thanks Sam_, you're right on this one, marking bug #819201 a duplicate of this one.

Thanks, you got my bug (819201) unlinked from 739647. Not only that, but your's got a 'medium' while I only managed a 'low' :-)

This should be a relatively easy fix that will improve the appearance of the update status window (see my screenshot on bug 819201 for a messed up example).

Regards,

Chris.

Actually it's a regression. Two example screenshots from Natty show it's fine there, then why isn't it transfered like this to Oneiric, because of gtk-3?

ineed it is an issue with gtk3. but i haven't yet found the root of it.

Should we add gtk+3.0 then and sent it upstream like they did there? Bug #836604

Just updated via update-manager and found the details dialog window resizable and useful to read as with Natty.
aptdaemon:
  Installed: 0.43+bzr691
  Candidate: 0.43+bzr691
  Version table:
 *** 0.43+bzr691 0

update-manager:
  Installed: 1:0.152.17
  Candidate: 1:0.152.17
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.152.17 0

Resizable is better than not, but I think it is still a bug that it appears initially as one line. Initial appearance should be large enough to be useful.

The set_size_request is ignored in the case of the downloads list and the changes in the confirmation dialog.

My bug got duped here. I don't see a screenshot of the actual issue on this report, so I've attached on, even though it seems the problem is well understood.

Any chance of this being fixed in Oneiric?

This bug was fixed in the package aptdaemon - 0.43+bzr742-0ubuntu1

Hello ertai, or anyone else affected,

Accepted aptdaemon into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Verification failed.
It is work only at first time.

Step to reproduce:
1. Start updating
2. Click "Details" to expand - it works correctly
3. Click "Details" to unexpand - it works correctly
4. Click "Details" to expand - failed - only one line of details is visible

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirmed, it is a partial fix that works the first time only. I have a slower machine (2.8GHz Celeron) and observed something interesting:

1. Start updating
2. Click "Details" to expand - it works correctly
3. Click "Details" to unexpand - it works correctly
4. Click "Details" to expand - for a very brief instant the window expands to nearly it's full size as observed in step 2.
5. Window then collapses to one line
6. Subsequent attempt to close and open details only shows one line.

Chris, Boris: Are you using Precise?

Sorry, yes it is Precise 12.04 A1

I will double check apt-daemon version and re-test when I get home tonight.

Chris

The aptdaemon installed in Precise seems to be this one:
aptdaemon_0.43+bzr756-0ubuntu1_all.deb

I tried to install the aptdaemon from Oneiric proposed on my Oneiric test box but completely broke update manager in the process. I was following the instruction given in the link to bring in the proposed aptdaemon module.

I'm now back to where I was (unbroken) and tried the other option with aptitiude and got the following:

________________________________________________________

$ sudo aptitude install aptdaemon/oneiric-proposed
The following packages will be upgraded:
  aptdaemon{b}
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 15.4 kB of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  aptdaemon: Depends: python-aptdaemon (= 0.43+bzr697-0ubuntu1.1) but 0.43+bzr697-0ubuntu1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

      Remove the following packages:
1) aptdaemon
2) language-selector-gnome
3) sessioninstaller
4) software-center
5) ubuntu-desktop

      Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
6) oneconf recommends software-center (>= 4.1.21)
7) python-aptdaemon recommends aptdaemon
8) file-roller recommends sessioninstaller | packagekit
9) software-center recommends sessioninstaller
10) update-notifier recommends aptdaemon

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
______________________________________________________________

Obviously it wants to break something again so I'm wary... And yes I feel like a dill because I have no idea how to install the proposed module without letting aptitude uninstall all those other packages at the same time.

Chris

This is on Precise.

.xsession-errors says:
(update-manager:1229): Gtk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+3.0-3.3.20/./gtk/gtkliststore.c:851: Unable to convert from (null) to PyObject

This regression bug is still present in 12.04.1 LTS.

The aptdaemon fix does not resolve the bug [update-manager details is one line].

Does this mean the issue must be fixed in gtk+3.0?

Unfortunately the bug was fixed in the aptdaemon gtk widgets but update manager now uses its own progress window (quantal). I will have a look if we can back port the fix.

oneiric has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the oneiric task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

Still Happening on AA (17.10)

see http://i.imgur.com/VlV1bxu.png

for how it looks in Xubuntu

Still an issue in Bionic. Can't see how to add the release. If I understand comment #31 the bug is in update-manager now not apt-daemon

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
