Tonfotos: An up-to-date list of supported Linux distributions

Andrey

bjorn Is tonfotos compiled on Ubuntu 20.10?

We use docker image amd64/ubuntu:20.04

Andrey

bjorn Thus, support of very old libraries is probably not very important.

The issue is, some distros are lagging far behind, that even latest releases are too outdated compared to ubuntu for example. And for some reason those distros are quite popular.

bjorn Would flatpak be a solution for this headache?

Yes this one , or snap could potentially be a soluiton, but again, that is just a theory that requires testing. And that would also mean complete rebuild of our CI/CD system. I am afraid we will not be able to find enough time for that in our roadmap any time soon. Sorry.

Andrey

That’s a pity.

This time, I installed tonfotos on MX Linux 23, which is based on Debian 12.
It installed and scanned my 35.000 images well.

On day two, I started to batch write people tags to general tags of the files (to have them permanently stored and be used by other apps).
It seems that this action (after a couple of times) makes tonfotos freeze. I had this feeling before, on Ubuntu and Debian 12.
The terminal gives this message: MenuCommand context_to_tag
After that, it produces no more output. The UI of tonfotos freezes.

Does this give you any clue, Andrey?

bjorn

After restart, tonfotos ran fine for a while.
After batch writing a tag to a couple of hundred jpg’s, the UI froze.
Terminal said:

bjorn Does this give you any clue, Andrey?

Nope. Please turn on debug logging, this will give much more information: https://community.tonfotos.com/d/26-making-debug-logs-in-tonfotos

bjorn Error sending usage statistics: /app/collect Error: socket hang up

This should not be related. This is anonymous statistics, it can fail but this should not affect anything.

Andrey

Now, the UI freezes directly and every time.
No debugging possible.
I think I have to give up for now.

I am running 24.04. Apart from the occasional freezes ( 100% reproducable when going into the duplicates album) it is working well ( I have to delete the “ui” section in config.json to be able to run again after a freeze).

I notice the Ubuntu version is 1.11.4 while the RPM is 1.11.7 is there an update available?

Andrey

Phiznlil Thank you for noticing. We will check the distribution publishin system.

Thanks for the info. I had given up a little while ago and was occasionally checking for updates on the forum. I had been running Tonfotos 1.11.2 on Linux Mint 22.1, it was stable for a while then the ui froze again. As you mentioned, I deleted the “ui” section of the json config file and it works after a restart. I am going to do a manual update, I downloaded the 1.11.14 deb version and will install it today. It seems that the newer versions, 1.11.7 and now 1.11.8 are not available for download as deb files yet.

Phiznlil

Any news on the Ubuntu version being updated? The rpm is now 1.13.0 but the deb version still 1.11.4

Andrey

Phiznlil Unfurtunately, the release publishing system we use is broken for some reason, it works for everything else except for deb distribution. This is open source that was not mantained for years by its creator. We already fixed few issues there in our own fork, but did not yet have time for fix this one, unfortunately. My guess is there is another breaking change in utilities it relies on.

So techically we have fres deb files, but they just don’t get published into repo currenlty.

Phiznlil

Oh I see… Is there some other way I can get it then? Can you email me the deb or does the publishing system have to create it? I want to test it before deciding whether to buy a second license as I dual boot between Ubuntu and Windows.

Andrey

Phiznlil Sure, I will publish link to distribution here after weekend.

Andrey

Andrey Here is the DEB file for 1.13.2

Phiznlil

That’s great, many thanks Andrev. Seems to be running smoothly! 🙂

Hi there, glad I found this thread!

I’m here for two reasons:
1) I added the apt repo to get automatic updates, but noticed that the guide on the download page still uses apt-key which is deprecated since Ubuntu 22.04.

Maybe this can be updated to directly use gpg to convert they repo key:

wget -O - https://tonfotos.com/distribution/public.key | gpg --dearmor > tonfotos-keyring.gpg;

cat tonfotos-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/tonfotos-keyring.gpg > /dev/null

echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tonfotos-keyring.gpg] https://tonfotos.com/distribution/tonfotos/release/linux/debian/ binary/' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tonfotos.list

2) Is there an update regarding the build release publishing system?
I installed 1.11.4 since that was the latest available version, not knowing that I could get a newer version here 😁
(and 1.13.2 deb file is a bit outdated by now compared to the other OSs 1.13.5 anyway)

Andrey

adrianklein I am sure that publishing problem has something to do with keys issue you just metnioned. Unfortunately, we don’t have that much linux expertise in our team, so any attempt to figure this all our just takes disproportional amount of resources, that is why it is hard to prioritize that issue. I am really sorry, but that is the truth.
