mystified Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Well I happen to talk to Chris all the time and I know he is definitely not anti-mandrake but is instead a big fan of it. As he said he was simply issueing a warning. Please don't be so quick to jump to conclusions people. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hmm.. I just checked mandrake update and there is no XFree upgrade whatsoever (for my mandrake 9.2) while the gconf update is up. Maybe I just need to wait a couple of days more until the mirrors sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kuchwas Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 kuchwas, are you running cooker XFree86-server-4.3.99.902-1mdk and deps? Just curious? Yes. Have somthing going on with TV that I think must be it. No big thing, just loose hue, change channel and change back fixes it. Something else?

Pierre Baco Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Pierre, whoa friend, easy on your blood pressure. You got the stake through my heart! I had a bad evening solving this f... security update problem. I managed to do it but it took me more time than expected. First I was really upset by yet-another-too-soon-released update, second by the lack of reaction in MandrakeClub and then I read your post here. It was a bit too much. I admit I'm not specially receptive on saturday mornings After 3/4 coffees and half a pack of cigarettes I feel better now. Next time let's sync our clocks: when you post something a bit sarcastic, let me know, so I won't read it before 11:00 AM ;) but keep on doing it, okay ? Just like I'll continue to answer on the spot! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Well, chris, I was not aware that you were still using 9.1. I'm using 9.2 and have no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 UPDATE: i was just in the #mandrake board & i just finished speaking with one of the developers of the XFree86 update packages that are causing troubles in MDK9.1. they are now aware of the problem & are working on getting it straightened out. from what he said, the update mirrors apparently have 2 versions of the XFree86 packages on them. one bad version, one good version. but, nobody removed the bad version of the packages so they are the ones that are showing up as the update. the person i was speaking to doesn't have the neccessary security permissions to change things on the mirrors & he's trying to get a hold of somebody that can. but, he said the fix may not be able to be in place until tomorrow (Monday 12-22-03) unless he can find somebody to do it today. just to let you all know that this is being worked on & a fix should be in place soon.

chris z Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 YET ANOTHER UPDATE:.........to anyone who cares.......... the correct XFree86 packages for MDK9.1 are now up on all of the mirrors except for 4.......... MDK Updates FTP Mirrors i haven't installed yet, but will be doing so tonight after work. so, if you are leary of these packages, sit tight & i'll be a guinea pig & post back the results tonight.
