Error updating ICEWM menu

[Xunzi_23Member]

Just ran in to below error while updating.

And many thanks to anticapitalista for all the the nosystemd package updates.

What does
$ desktop-menu --version
return?

I’ve seen it today too (Trixie-upgraded antiX), output of the command suggested by @robin is ‘desktop-menu version 3.33’.
The log-file ‘/var/log/apt/history.log’ contains the following line
Upgrade: desktop-menu-antix:amd64 (0.3.1, 0.3.2)

Hi Robin, on sid
Same as sybok noted version 0.3.1, 0.3.2

[RobinMember]

I had asked for

$ desktop-menu --version
desktop-menu version 3.34

or

$ desktop-menu --version
desktop-menu version 4.00

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

Latest was built from dave’s repo here –

https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/desktop-menu-antix

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

On my sid install ICEWM

$ desktop-menu –version
desktop-menu version 3.33

@Xunzi_23 This is impossible, since the script in ver 3.33 has merely 698 lines, while your error message states an issue in line 723. You must have some version mismatch. 3.x and 4.x seem not to be interchangeable easily. So I guess this error you’ve reported is the upcoming 4.x version, not from legacy 3.33 or 3.34.

(Reason for asking that precisely is: If it is an error in 3.x, I’ll take care of it, while if it is in 4.x, Dave is the one who knows what to do.)

Something is indeed messed up with the desktop-menu today, and also some weird problems with the usual runit package; the environment is behaving as if init-diversity is in place.

Have their been any changes in the Bookworm repos with runit recently?
If so, they had an unintended side effect; I’ve been rebuilding my system for a while
because of these two things.

@masinick – do you have the dev repo enabled in antiX repos?
You shouldn’t have for bookworm.

The desktop menu says #!/usr/bin/python3
#Version: 3.33

as indicated in the error
line 723 with AsUser(user_info[0], user_info[1]):
724 print(“Current UID: {}”.format(os.getuid()))
725 print(“Current GID: {}”.format(os.getgid()))723

725 is last line

I didn’t realize that dev was included, but it was; got rid of it, and then the problem went away.
I think there was a repo package update; I sure don’t remember putting dev in there myself.

In any case, it’s gone now and so is that problem; thank goodness! I want to keep my stable
runit setup in place until we’re done with the next release; it had been rock solid until today.
Now that I have that “dev” out of there it’s back to normal.

Hi all,

My Sid install didn’t have dev repo included and I use Openbox without the other desktops installed, as far as I can tell.

So I just updated the antix list to include dev and only got gstreamer upgrades. No desktop-menu upgrade.

Like Xunzi, I also have a 725 line /usr/local/bin/desktop-menu file. (mine is for version 0.3.2 tho).

[Brian MasinickModerator]

All is back to normal (thankfully) for me now.
The only thing I don’t know is how dev was added to my repo list.
Maybe I messed it up accidentally without realizing it, but that’s
not a typical mistake that I would make, hence my confusion and
curiosity.
