Mod Installations being forced to AD, Autodetect

[7ranceaddic7]

Background

CKAN Version:
1.24.0-PRE

KSP Version:
1.3.1

Operating System:
Linux Jupiter 4.13.0-25-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 8 21:14:41 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Have you made any manual changes to your GameData folder (i.e., not via CKAN)?
No.

Problem
CKAN is forcing AD, autodetect on mods install by CKAN. All mods in this shot were selected for install by CKAN.

[HebaruSan]

Any clues how it got to that point? The issue template headers you deleted might have been pretty helpful...

[7ranceaddic7]

I had unchecked ModuleManager to force the uninstall of dependent mods then unchecked the rest. When I went to reinstall some mods for testing this happened.

[HebaruSan]

OK, I saw Astrogator as AD in your screenshot, so based on your description I:

1. Installed Astrogator
2. Uninstalled ModuleManager
3. Uninstalled Astrogator
4. Re-installed Astrogator

Looks pretty normal so far:

Any other hints of what I can try to make it happen?

[7ranceaddic7]

Yeah, that's essentially it. I did it with ALL those mods; not just one at a time. I'll keep a keen eye out for future occurrences.

[HebaruSan]

OK, maybe there's something weird with those relationships then. What's the full mod list?

[7ranceaddic7]

Are you sure you want to know that information? Okay ...

[HebaruSan]

Thanks!
Can you try a ckan list from the command line to get the identifiers? I can turn this into a command to install your whole pack on my system for testing if the names match up, but for example [x] Science! isn't compatible with that.

[HebaruSan]

OK, I managed to pare that list down to things that are actually in CKAN and change the names to match their identifiers. It looks like there's a conflict, though. Did you install these two mods with CKAN? Maybe something weird happens if we add a conflict to two mods that are already installed...

The following inconsistencies were found:
InterstellarFuelSwitch 2.10.3 conflicts with ConfigurableContainers 2.4.1.2, can't install both.
Install canceled. Your files have been returned to their initial state.

[7ranceaddic7]

Get back to you in the am with mods the mods that were manual. But, if memory serves, both IFS & CC were installed a while ago via CKAN. There was not notification of conflict.

Since I know IFS is a dependent of some others, I'll uninstall CC, test with a bunch of un/installs and report then too.

[7ranceaddic7]

Just .noticed this discussion; might it be related?

Throw explanatory message when user selects incompatible mods
#2237

(Sorry for the crude link, don't know how to do it the right way.)

[7ranceaddic7]

True manual installs include:

Amazing Curve Editor
Haystack Continued
Kerbal Construction Time
RosterManager
TestFlight

[7ranceaddic7]

Still haven't been able to replicate.

[joelmeaders]

I might be able to help here. I am new to KSP and mods but I got autodetect on the very first mod I ever installed.

I manually installed mechjeb into my mod free installation. Afterwards I learned about CKAN and installed it. MechJeb has always showed as autodetect, but other mods installed with CKAN can be added and removed without issue.

[linuxgurugamer]

You need to manually remove Mechjeb by deleting the entire directory, restarting CKAN, and then you will be able to install it via CKAN

[HebaruSan]

No reproduction of this since January. Closing; please let us know if it happens again.
