Testing the upgrade to Qt 5.12

dobey · 11 Jun 2020, 18:45

Good news everyone!

Work on the Qt 5.12 upgrade is at a point where more people can test it. Unfortunately though, there are some complications with the differences on Pinephone and Raspberry Pi devices, so it cannot be used there just yet. However, for anyone using an Android based device, it should work pretty well at this point.

To install, you should first be on the devel channel, then do the following:

mkdir -p apt/cache apt/lists
sudo mount --bind apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mount --bind apt/cache /var/cache/apt
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_qt-5-12

For Pinephone you will also need to add xenial_-_qt-5-12_-_wayland with ubports-qa. Devices using Android 9 base, such as VollaPhone will need to add xenial_-_qt-5-12_-_android9.

Then reboot and start testing. Please note if there are any packages removed or such by apt when performing the install. Please test all your apps as you use them, to ensure there are no crashes or such, and if there are any crashes please specify the app and action causing the crash when reporting it here.

DO NOT perform a standard system update after installing this, as it may break your device, requiring manual repair or reflashing to recover. Instead, it should be safe to simply do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (with the above mentioned bind mounts in place) when changes are noted in this thread below.

Thanks and enjoy!

What update channel is best to be on before testing this? Devel I presume?

dobey · 31 Aug 2020, 16:01

@arubislander Yes, you should be on devel. (I've edited the original post to clarify, thanks!)

Are you missing a sudo in front of that last command?

I ran it on my BQ M10FHD and it said it wanted to downgrade 5 packages.

The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
  libqmenumodel0 libsystemsettings1 qmenumodel-qml qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-extras0.2 ubuntu-system-settings

Will report back on testing.

I am testing it already a couple days, update seems that worked correctly with just

sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_qt-5-12

on OnePlus 3T.
I've got a couple issues, Telegram and Dekko shows just blank screen, inhibiting of screensaver doesn't work, QQC2 checkboxes and (checkbox or switch) delegates was broken, and Transport app is unable to remember list of transport types.

Perhaps. Updated.

It seems there was a versioning faux pas with qmenumodel, and the other two had changes that landed in xenial branch after I created the 5.12 branches. Getting them updated now, thanks!

Can you clarify a bit more what you mean with these two comments, and perhaps point at something more specific where I can test them as well?

Not sure why Teleports is blank, as there's nothing useful in the log. Dekko seems to have some components failing to load (likely a bug in the Dekko code simply made more apparent by newer Qt)
Transport app seems to be in similar situation to Dekko, and its log is filled with QML warnings (it was very unstable when I tried it here, and would crash easily)

Thanks.

BQ 4.5: Got a crash at startup for sfxr: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/khrnt9xc2R/
Crash also for Teleport, messaging app
Blank page for Dekko

Note that in the drawer, i have only 2 app icon columns (scaling 12 in UTTT) and distorted spash icons on several apps.

On E5HD I got a couple of issues:

I'm pretty sure this is because I have been testing some PR but nothing was installed when I checked with ubports-qa list

The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
  messaging-app

Unpacking libqt5webenginecore5:armhf (5.14.2+dfsg1-2~ubports2) over (5.14.2+dfsg-2ubports0) ...

@danqo6 Thanks. I've pushed the fix for this and the SwitchDelegate issue in qqc2-suru, so those should all be good now after an update.

dobey · 1 Sept 2020, 17:29

@CiberSheep Seems there was a change in messaging-app yesterday for OTA-13, which I've pulled in now, so should be included in the update as well.

Otherwise though, is your rootfs full? Did you already install some other things extra in it perhaps from Ubuntu archive?

arubislander · 1 Sept 2020, 17:38

Wow, I come back to find everything I intended to report already reported! It isbgreat to see the community come together like this.

How should one go about acquiring the updated packages? Just repeat the process in the original post?

The app crashed? Or the shell? Sfxr seems to work mostly fine on my Nexus 4, though I have noticed a couple issues with the app itself (and I think unrelated to Qt 5.12).

Crash also for Teleport, messaging app

Again, are the apps crashing, or the shell?

Note that in the drawer, i have only 2 app icon columns (scaling 12 in UTTT) and distorted spash icons on several apps.

Yeah, there seems to be something up with the app drawer column math it seems. Not sure what though, since I'm pretty sure it is untouched.

Mostly. Just do sudo ubports-qa update instead I think (or just sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade after doing the mount commands).

Yes the app crashed. What do you mean by shell, Lomiri crash and reboot ?

dobey · 1 Sept 2020, 19:30

@lduboeuf Yes.

@dobey I made fix for missing images in checkindicator and spinbox, look https://github.com/ubports/qqc2-suru-style/pull/48/files

I'll install a fresh image and try again to be sure
