Ultimate Edition Script (Ultamatix)

[TheeMahn]

wow, lazy is far from true, enjoy your Ultimate Edition 1.9 thread & I am certain you will enjoy Ultimate Edition 1.9 before others. I do appreciate what you do in a daily point of view. You will enjoy it before the end user even has a chance to do so. I do want to say thanks & why I hired you lol. It is uploading as promised, link you can't find if you are capt. hack daddy. I want if no other admin your opinion. You put yourself in this position. 8 hrs, and u r set. I call a alpha, funny how a lazy man views it? You will think release it.

Thanks for doing my job,

Thanks, installed fresh 8.04 64 and just installed Ultamatix on it.
Bad thing is I had headphones on full blast

Hehe pain is good......
Just added KDE update, works 100% so far. All compatible settings and firefox addons have carried over.
It is the best of both worlds all rolled up in one. Wonderful.

I must be doing something right. Softpedia - APPLICATION OF THE MONTH

That is very experimental, incase you did not read it. I too have installed it and it worked, I used to have compiz fusion git built on that list and scrapped it, it indeed worked on everybody's system that tried it. I just felt it was a bit on the dangerous side so I yanked it from the list the code is still there, but there is no way to execute it. Left it behind incase I want to walk down that path later. I will set an exclusive lock on it and not sweat the load that is probably close to the only error it has other then adding the repo twice, things that I am aware of, but not a show stopper.

Thanks for checking it out,

Well for me Its like back to my early experimental days. I have learned by plenty of mistakes and have 1 750GB + 2 externals with important stuff on it and 2 x 250GBs where I have multi operating systems on them and not care if I mess up.

BTW my Ubuntu has turned into Ukubuntu as it has a lot of the Kubuntu stuff on it now. But I honestly do not care. Nothing is gained without....

Well done for Softpedia

#1 error in "Automatix" is fixed - implemented in Ultamatix 1.8.0-4, a bit of work to say the least solid python...

Code: Select all

def checkConflicts():
   """determine if any conflicting programs are running..."""
   if(testOutput('ps -U root -u root u | grep "synaptic" | grep -v grep')):
      return ("Synaptic","<b>Synaptic is running</b>\nPlease close Synaptic and restart Ultamatix. ")
   if(testOutput('ps -U root -u root u | grep "update-manager" | grep -v grep')):
      return ("Update-Manager","<b>Ubuntu Update Manager is running</b>\nPlease close Ubuntu Update Manager and restart Ultamatix. ")
   if(testOutput('ps -U root -u root u | grep "apt-get" | grep -v grep')):
      return ("Apt","<b>Apt-get is running</b>\nPlease close Apt-get and restart Ultamatix. ")
   if(testOutput('ps -U root -u root u | grep "adept" | grep -v grep')):
      return ("Adept","<b>Adept is running</b>\nPlease close Adept and restart Ultamatix. ")
   if(testOutput('ps -U root -u root u | grep "ultamatix.py" | grep "/usr/bin/python" | grep -v grep | grep -v %s'%os.getpid())):
      return ("another Ultamatix session","<b>Ultamatix is already running</b>\nOnly one Ultamatix session may be run at any time. ")
   """ get the APT lock //major bug in automatix, will not exist in ultamatix
        try_acquire_lock"""   
   return None
def exclusive_lock():
   try:
      apt_pkg.PkgSystemLock()
          except SystemError:
      return ("Unable to get Exclusive Lock","<b>A package manager is running</b>\nPlease close and restart Ultamatix. ")
   else:
      return None
def unlock_apt():
        """unlock here to make sure that lock/unlock are always run pair-wise (and don't explode on errors)"""
        try:
            apt_pkg.PkgSystemUnLock()
        except SystemError:
            print "WARNING: trying to unlock a not-locked PkgSystem"
            pass

Results of the above code... if a user has synaptec open it detects it tells the user to shut it down and exits graciously same for gdebi, apt, dpkg, adept update manager or another ultamatix, this is where it gets even better, if you are running ultamatix and try to fire up and of those listed it says another package manager is already running and exits, so no chance for the end user to bork their system even if they try or are unaware.

Exclusive lock:

Have a exclusive lock (Ultamatix owns it)

I don't think so 1 at a time ;)

The above was the #1 complaint of the ubuntu team, so they can now shut their pie hole

Current changelog:
Ultamatix: 1.8.0-4

• Exclusive lock subroutine written (making the possibility of package breakage impossible)
• Tons of python code cleanup
• Total restructor of file layout to comply with "debian standards" (/etc/
• more to follow

File layout (no more dumping files into users /etc/ folder as Automatix did (now standard /usr/share/doc/ etc.):

once I have solved 100% of "all issues", currently above 90%. I will begin on adding additional software & set it off the hook. The individualsthat are cluesless on the net think it is the same automatix, because it looks the same, I wish they could see the changes I have made under the hood. Pisses me off when I hear there is no need for ultamatix as well, hmm sudo apt-get install return to castlewolfenstein, americas army... the list goes on... Repo issues is the next in line (not asking the end user if they want thier sources modified as well as asking them if they would like them restored on ultamatix exit).

It is not currently perfect, but will be. The Automatix team gave me alot of work in just cleaning up their code... Once I get all issues resolved, I am going to install "debian" and run it through the ringers. I look for this to be a "must have" program when I have it completed.
