Unable to install smplayer - Manuk - 04-30-2017

Have tried several times to install smplayer from the repository using
Synaptic without any luck.  Below is the error message I get:

Selecting previously unselected package smplayer.
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
reading files list for package 'qml-module-qtquick-dialogs:amd64': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

Thanks

Re: Unable to install smplayer - ralphy - 04-30-2017

Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install smplayer


Re: Unable to install smplayer - Manuk - 04-30-2017

Thanks for the quick response.

Typed in the commands one at a time into the terminal.
Still was not able to install smplayer.

Below is information from the Terminal:


After this process finished...
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

This is what I got:

Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
reading files list for package 'qml-module-qtquick-dialogs:amd64': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)



After this process finished...
sudo apt-get install smplayer

This is what I got:

Selecting previously unselected package smplayer.
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:

The qml-module-qtquick-dialogs package info somehow got corrupted in the dpkg database and that's why it couldn't be fixed with the above commands. It is not part of smplayer but QT I believe... anyways, the point is that it didn't happen because of smplayer installation but because of some other package previously installed in your system. QT maybe?

The way you can fix this is by manually editing the status file under /var/lib/dpkg.

1- First, create a backup copy of the /var/lib/dpkg/status file. For example: to your home directory... from Terminal:
Code:
cp /var/lib/dpkg/status $HOME

2- Open /var/lib/dpkg/status as administrator. From Terminal:
gksu leafpad /var/lib/dpkg/status

3- In that file, find the qml-module-qtquick-dialogs package info and delete it... for example, for lxterminal this is what it would be like:

Code:
Package: lxterminal
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 971
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 0.2.0-1
Provides: x-terminal-emulator
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0), libvte9 (>= 1:0.28.0), libx11-6
Description: LXDE terminal emulator
LXTerminal is a VTE-based terminal emulator for the Lightweight X11 Desktop
Environment (LXDE).
.
It supports multiple tabs and has only minimal dependencies thus being
completely desktop-independent. In order to reduce memory usage and increase
the performance, all instances of the terminal are sharing a single process.
Original-Maintainer: Debian LXDE Maintainers <[email protected]>
Homepage: http://www.lxde.org/

4- Save and close the status file and run once again from Terminal:

Code:
dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install smplayer

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

Re: Unable to install smplayer - Manuk - 04-30-2017

I am fairly new to Lite - about 6 months.  I am not sure I performed the operations correctly.  Still same exact error message. 

I am going to need step by step instructions so I can try again.

Sorry,

Sorry,

It's ok Manuk. You have to do your part too... if you are not sure you performed the operations correctly how can I know? So, you nee to be sure Smile

Here, try these commands one at the time and post back any errors.

Code:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude install -f
sudo apt-get install smplayer

Let's see if it can remove the following packages:
   
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge kactivities                               
sudo apt-get remove --purge plasma-framework                         
sudo apt-get remove --purge qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrols
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove



Re: Unable to install smplayer - Manuk - 05-04-2017

I've gotten busy lately and haven't been able to work on the problem.  I do want to fix the problem and possibly learn something. I will try out the commands when time permits and let you know what I come up with.

Thanks for your patience.

Re: Unable to install smplayer - Manuk - 05-08-2017

Here is what I get after running the commands one at a time.  Needless to say, still cannot install SM Player nor any updates.  Conky desktop widget says "System Never Updated."
