Hello,

I have latest community CSSU and since upgrade have some stability problems with widgets -- "something" cause hildon-desktop to crash and all widgets dissappear, can add them manually but just got "tired" and for now I live without them (it's my only phone, calls and mails work, other stuff is not so important). Only widgets are affected, application shortcuts are OK.

Usually I use HAM, but today I decided to update via terminal and "apt-get upgrade" told me that I have 84 packages waiting. It went OK, but there are still some packages left:

Code:
Reading package lists... Done 
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done 
The following packages have been kept back: 
libqtm-11-feedback libqtm-12 libqtm-12-contacts 
libqtm-12-declarative libqtm-12-location 
libqtm-12-messaging libqtm-12-multimedia 
libqtm-12-publishsubscribe libqtm-12-serviceframework 
libqtm-12-systeminfo libqtm-12-versit libsdl-mixer1.2 
pyside-qt4 python-pyside syncevolution 
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded. 
/home/user #
I have 2 questions:

- how to upgrade those packages
- how to reinstall CSSU

I have working backup of all my stuff and I am completely aware of consequences, so if possible I'd like to try everything else before reflashing device.

Thanks,
b.

Which widgets do you have installed? some of them could be the culprit, f.e. Currency Exchange Widget.

You can upgrade those packages by specifically asking to install them e.g.:
Code:
apt-get install libqtm-12
They're usually held back either because they require installing additional package, or because they require uninstalling existing packages. Not necessarily a problem, but it's best to check what it's proposing to do each time before continuing.

I'm not aware of any way of re-installing CSSU (other than by reflashing). You can re-install individual packages, but the CSSU itself is just a meta-package which pulls in specific versions of other packages via dependencies.

I use: bluezwitch, Calendar Home Widget, Conversations Inbox, OMWeather, Personal Dataplan Monitor, Personal IP Address and recaller.

None of them caused any problems before so I assume my CSSU upgrade was not completely successfull -- as I said, before upgrade had zero problems. Other than hildon-desktop crashes everything still work OK. Have kernel-power49, limits 250-850 and no additional changes, no batery or speed patch, no modified hildon-desktop.

I would uninstall & later reinstall CSSU, but as wiki said this is not recommended, I'd like to avoid that.

Will try to install individual packages, tho.

Thanks,

Manually updated libqtm-11-feedback, libqtm-12, pyside-qt4 and syncevolution (+ whole bunch of other stuff that had dependency). After that espeak update was found and now I don't have any packages left.

Will test if stability is better

Thanks for tips,
b.

Update: it seems manual updates fixed widget's stability problems -- after pretty heavy testing in last few days I had no unexpected reboot or desktop crash since update.

Thanks for help,
b.
