Change logs for kubuntu-driver-manager source package in Trusty

  • kubuntu-driver-manager (14.04ubuntu10) trusty; urgency=medium
    
      * Fix debug output typo s/beause/because/
      * Implement QApt transaction prompt signals
       + This adds three new qslots to drivermanager:
         - provideMedium
         - untrustedPrompt
         - configFileConflict
        + All three are copied from libmuon's ApplicationBackend and
          adjusted in the least invasive manner
        + All three trigger a KMessageBox to query the user for a decision on
          the respective apt/dpkg-level issues
        + The KMessageBoxes anchor to qApp::activeWindow as DriverManager is
          supposed to not contain UI logic and as such has no explicit method
          to get the master window id
        + These slots add new strings that were previously not available for
          translations, but should eventually get picked up by launchpad.
        + Module.cpp manually adds 'libmuon' as a translation catalog to draw
          translations from, while we have no translations of our own. This is
          to prevent the newly introduced strings from going untranslated.
          This relationship is not refelected on a packaging level since in due
          time our own language-packages should contain translation, plus the
          prompts are incredibly hard to trigger so even in an untranslated state
          99.9% of users will not ever see them. If we can get the translations
          from libmuon it's nice, if not we'll likely not care given the impact.

      [ Harald Sitter ]
      * DriverWidget: do not list builtin drivers as not selected.
        + This avoids breaking the system by trying to remove essential packages
          such as xserver-xorg-video-nouveau for being not selected.
        LP: #1311583
    
      [ Rohan Garg ]
      * Add a apport hook to provide more debug info when reporting bugs
    
    kubuntu-driver-manager (14.04ubuntu8) trusty; urgency=medium
    
      * Prevent crashes by properly locking the GUI while applying changes
        LP: #1311075
        + New function DriverWidget::setSelectionEnabled, disabling or enabling
          all QAbstractButtons inside the respective DriverWidget, leaving the
          header label unaffected to give a nicer visual experience.
      * Prevent state confusion caused by allowing 'defaults' to trigger a reload
        even when the manager is currently busy applying changes. Since we have
        no button control inside the KCM we simply turn load() noop while the
        manager is active. This is unfortunately not the nicest behavior, however
        the module will reload whenever the manager finishes, so implicitly we
        will simply execute the requested action once the manager is idle again.
        LP: #1311079
        + Introduce new function DriverManager::isActive evaluating the transaction
          pointer (nullptr when idle).

      * Bring back device notification persistency lost in refactoring

      * Use a checkbox when there's only one driver
    
      [ Harald Sitter ]
      * Set dbusinterface timeout to highest possible value to prevent timeouts
        when the dbus helper is tediously slow (LP: #1303209)
        Looking back that was probably why we opted for an async connection earlier

  • kubuntu-driver-manager (14.04ubuntu5) trusty; urgency=medium
    
      [ Harald Sitter ]
      * Fix dbus helper timing (hopefully)
        + Don't query drivers-common in ctor for no reason (block startup and
          everything).
        + Force the connection from the timeout timer to qapp::quit to be queued
          this gives us at least one additional loop run until it is actually
          called (should not make much difference).
        + Suspending and restart of the timeout timer is now done via a finally
          statement, this is to ensure that return actually has finished by the
          time we restart the timer as large chunks of data can take a while to
          throw at the daemon etc.
        = These changes combined should prevent the dbus helper from timing out
          before the data has arrived or is sent. at the very least it makes a
          system that previously had timeouts work even with a 5s timeout (i.e.
          half of what we use in production).

  • kubuntu-driver-manager (14.04ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=medium
    
      * Depend on python3-qt4 for the auto-quit logic in the helper LP: #1293948
      * Refactor
        - dbus helper now only has one function
        - dbus interaction uses explicit type demarshalling
        - new struct types Device and Driver representing the explicit dbus types
        - new class DriverManager encorporating most logic bits of Module such as
          dbus and qapt interaction
        - DriverWidget QApt queries moved to DriverManager's dbus handling, but
          continues to query qapt packages directly for name and such nonesense
        - Manual driver listing is no longer explicitly dependent on package
          findability
        - DriverWidget changes detection now happen through iterative queries
          in Module::possiblyChanged, fixing change tracking
        - Module continues to contain Debconf handling, pipe id merely passed to
          DriverManager
        - New Module functions enableUi and disableUi containing reoccuring logic
        - DriverWidget does not implicitly create left-to-right strings anymore
        - Module::load is now the grand unified way to trigger a (re)load of data
          while DriverManager::refresh synchronizes the reload requests with
          QApt/Xapian init, fixing all likely and less likely init order problems
        - New struct Device provides deep qdebug stream operators to debug
          stuff conveniently
        - Module includes have been cleaned up slightly
        - Drivers are now not only installed, but also removed, this effectively
          enables actual driver change as the way management works is that the
          consideration is that only one driver is installed at a time (except for
          the free version), which also is why manual always wins active
          detection as it simply prevents any other driver from being considered.
