A switch to smart could make this happen. Just make smart listen on dbus and you are golden. Allows the UI to be run as the user, which means good things for accessibility and security. -- Perform operations in the background https://launchpad.net/bugs/17138 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 17138] Re: Perform operations in the background
I just found this soc project: http://tw.apinc.org/weblog/2006/05/26#summer-of-code-acceptance It is about providing an unified dbus interface for background tasks :) I will setup a spec, since it could be worth a try for edgy+1 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BackgroundPackageInstallation -- Perform operations in the background https://launchpad.net/bugs/17138 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 17138] Re: Perform operations in the background
Using a dbus interface could be a nice idea. So that apt runs in the background and the frontends only send a signal e.g. install package-1. A symbol appears in the notification bar and we notify the user that packages are getting installed now. If something went wrong we show the installer dialog and the error message. -- Perform operations in the background https://launchpad.net/bugs/17138 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
