Upgraded from 42 to 43 ujust and distobox issues

Aurora
1

hi all

I left Aurora unplugged for about five months approximately and decided to plug back the SSD that Aurora 42 was on. To my surprise there were just under 7 GB of updates and image updates to Aurora 43. After about ten minutes of downloads and installs the system rebooted successfully until I wanted to upgrade my containers and try the ujust update and distrobox update commands which only gave me the following errors.

  • env: ‘/usr/bin/ujust’: No such file or directory
  • bash: line 1: distrobox-upgrade: command not found
  • env: ‘distrobox’: No such file or directory

I have no idea what to do……. HELP! :sweat_smile:

i got ujust update to work, but had to hack the following /home/tolga/.local/share/applications/system-update.desktop to:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=System Update
Comment=Update Aurora, Flatpaks, Distrobox containers, and more
Icon=aurora-update
Categories=System;
Terminal=false
Exec=konsole --hold -e sh -c “ujust update; echo; echo -e ‘\033[1;32m[✓]\033[0m \033[1;33mUpdate complete!\033[0m \nClose this window when done.’”
StartupNotify=true
NoDisplay=false

This is an indicator that you created your problems yourself. /usr/share/applications/system-update.desktop should be enough. Why do you have system-update.desktop locally?

5

Why on earth would I create that file. It was originally aurora 41 and rolled the upgrades as they came through

6

I don’t know what happens on your system but system installations/upgrades do not create files in ~/.local/share/applications

I would move it away and then, when things working fine, that file could be deleted.

Unfortunately I don’t think they support upgrades past a month old due to the resources needed for testing.

We don’t put updater to ~/.local/share/applications so not sure how that got there.

Upgrading from 42->43 should be totally fine, but we have made some massive changes during the last few weeks that it might have caused issues (like removing a lot of ujust scripts etc) if you have done some custom stuff.
