Testing OM-Welcome

For the repo picker, why are the lines blue, but not links? Can we make the whole area a clickable link like the ones on Applications tab? Can we make the icon the same size the ones from Applications tab?

Correct. I did not touch it yet :grin:

Changelog:
Welcome screen: Fixed link appearance
Features tab: Software Repository Selector, Update Configuration, Bug Report Tool. Click on the images open the app.
System Update both from om-welcome and from Application menu is now dnf5 ready. Credits to @P_J

Original Look&Feel reason, nothing else :slight_smile:

Probably, but not top priority.
Any help?

@rugyada hey, I just updated and got om-welcome-2.9.3-1. Thanks for all the work! While I was in there, though, I poked around and happened to click on the repo picker… and it says:


even though I’m on ROME:

In the Repo Picker, I checked if the Extra, Restricted, and Non-Free were enabled if I happened to be on my correct Update Channel, but when I went to ROME, it gave the typical warning:

I feel like there is an error somewhere. So I ran dnf distro-sync, and it’s showing right:

@P_J I don’t think you should point the Update Channel to Release. It should point to ROME.

I agree, @WilsonPhillips. The issue is that the repo picker is saying that I am on Release, when I am on Rome. Also that it says I only have Main enabled, when I have all three other repos enabled, in reality, as seen in the terminal output.

Mine opens pointed to ROME, or rolling

If you change yours to rolling, do the repos check

That’s great. Have you distro-synced? I don’t know that the OM-Welcome update changed the repo-picker, but I had an update for om-welcome-2.9.3-1, which came out in the last 2 hours.

@WilsonPhillips I have not changed anything. I’m saying that the repo-picker is starting by stating it is on a different channel.

Since I added the Testing repo, it only had to be done once, I just to the regular distro-sync.

I get that it is starting with release in the box, but if you change it to rolling, does it show the repos checked?

I did try that. It gave the typical warning:

One of the devs will look at it. We did our part. :smiley:

To reiterate. I have not changed anything. I changed no update channel. I started on ROME and have never changed any update channel to be on any other channel. After distro-syncing this evening and getting the latest version of om-welcome (2.9.3-1) I started and browsed through the welcome screen just to see as I usually just try things out. That is when I saw in the repo-picker that it said I was in a different update channel. But as shown in the terminal output, I am not in any other channel called release or elsewise.

dnf repolist

Please.


I realize, perhaps, librewolf is a problem? I can remove it.
EDIT: I removed it to check if that had, indeed, created a problem. After removal, and running repolist again, it showing that there were no other than the standard repositories, I started om-welcome, went to repo-picker, and it still showed the incorrect update channel.

Okay. I restored symlinking of dnf to dnf-3 (instead of dnf5) in /usr/bin. Then went back to the repo-picker. It now showed correctly.
So, dnf5 is not showing the information that repo-picker understands to display the correct information. I apologize for calling an error when it was my own.

It’s probably a configuration bug. If you are getting the correct channels with dnf repolist then dnf knows what to do.

Exactly, I hear that. I was afraid that, perhaps, it might be confusing for a new user. I was comfortable doing all my work in the terminal.

Thank you so much @zeroability and @WilsonPhillips for your help.
