Apps not installing " Simulation not successful .."

upALLnight · 2021-03-09 21:06

Tried installing Firefox and Chromium from the Software Centre but got following error message:

"Simulation not successful, sorry, I cannot install now.
"Cleaning and canceling ..."

Had previously installed Palemoon and a couple of other apps so this is a new one. Will wait for instructions on what report to generate rather than guessing. I did take a look online for that error message but the only thing that came up (DDG or Google) was one earlier post here, and then only for a download - couldn't access the post it came from, see:

Sorry, haven't installed a URL bumf stripper in Palemoon yet

Please run in terminal:
$ reportq4
and send the debug file generated via email support@q4os.org , or attach it here for us to analyze.

I did a boo boo ^

Instead of following instructions I asked for, I got lost in a task and installed full Q4os as a 'workaround' ... good news, tho?

Good news is that my desktop power supply died. Hard drive lives! Stuck it in an old Vista 32bit 2gb ram machine; simplest option I found is to upgrade to win10 to decrypt old drive. Then go back to Q40s minimum install on usb and wipe windows 10. Hopefully I can recreate the same problem and log the result.

Or would the old logs still be on this machine?

Yes, you can extract the application install logs from $HOME/.appsetup2/log/ directory.

Thanks for the debug file, you sent. We have examined the logs and found two different errors. The first is about "grub-pc" bug https://sourceforge.net/p/q4os/tickets/148/ , which is resolved at present, so desktop profiler should work fine now, as we can see from the log files.
The second error is about unresolved dependencies throughout Chromium installation. As you have added some alien repositories, what is not recommended, we are suspecting them from causing the failing installation.

deb [trusted=yes] file:/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local/ ./
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mumble/release/ubuntu hirsute main

Please remove them and try to run Chromium installation again. If the installation fails, run in terminal:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install q4os-chromium
and report back please.

Oh didn't realise other packages were not recommended.

Ok, so, not having any idea about how to uninstall, I looked up debian uninstall mumble and got this:
https://howtoinstall.co/en/mumble-serve … =uninstall

Tried this:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove mumble-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'mumble-server' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Same result for Mumble without the -server?
