Ugh, I always forget about the word wrap situation in bugs.launchpad. Here are 1-6 from above without the wrap-fragging:
To reproduce: 1. gdebi-gtk foo.deb (I was using opera_10.70.9053_i386.deb) (NOT TESTED: "sudo gdebi-gtk foo.deb". When I've experienced this it was in a non-sudo run, where (I believe this is how it works) gdebi-gtk exec'd itself under gksu when I told it to do something that affected the system. I suspect this loopback exec may have something to do with the failure to exit.) 2. Click the [Install Package] or [Reinstall Package] button 3. Satisfy the request for your password 4. When install is finished, close the terminal/installer window (NOT TESTED: probably the same if you previously clicked the "Automatically close after the changes have been successfully applied" button) ^U (went back and tested that, it behaves the same, as long as you meet the timing dependency in #5) 5. (TIMING DEPENDENT) when the install completes and while you are closing the terminal/installer window, the main gdebi-gtk window is refreshing its state information (you see a progress bar at the bottom of that window). CLOSE THE PARENT WINDOW WITH ITS GUI CLOSE BOX during this refresh period. Note: you cannot close it with its own file -> close menu, as that is not responsive during the state refresh. 6. The shell prompt from which you ran `gdebi-gtk ...` does not return. Depending on exactly when you closed it, you may see a message like: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GDebi/GDebi.py:275: GtkWarning: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5684: widget not within a GtkWindow self.button_install.grab_default() after a while; or no message at all. -- Cannot close gdebi-gtk package installer when finished https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626758 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
