liquidzoo Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 The only 2 times (one each, laptop and desktop) that I have tried to update XFree86 I have backed completely out of X first. If you didn't do this before you ran the urpmi, you might very well ruun into those problems, but I'm not sure at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 OK, still no go; here's what I'm doing: 1. Notice menu missing 2. update-menus -v as root (won't work as regular user). No errors. (menus were updated for gnome, kde3, xfce4, etc, but of those three, they only show up in gnome's.) 3. killall gnome-panel ... gnome-panel & 4. Menu restored. XMMS missing... 5. Menudrake -> add XMMS. Save! 6. Menu gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Thanks LiquidZoo That must be it. I'll test that one later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... that's what I thought too! I'll try backing out of X before updating XFree86; I should use urpmi --force to make sure they update?

liquidzoo Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I did urpmi --media urrdate_source --auto-select It grabbed everything from the update source, but I didn't use --auto because I wanted to see if it was going to uninstall everything. It all installed just fine. Make sure you run urpmi.update -a before you run the above command to make sure you will get everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbman Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I just did a clean install of 9.2 and the latest Release 6 updates seem to have this problem licked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 These are the packages that it wants me to update: bootloader-utils-1.6-3.1.92mdk.i586 drakxtools-9.2-19.5.92mdk.i586 drakxtools-newt-9.2-19.5.92mdk.i586 harddrake-9.2-19.5.92mdk.i586 harddrake-ui-9.2-19.5.92mdk.i586 kernel-source-2.4.22-26mdk.i586 libxmms1-1.2.7-25mdk.i586 xmms-alarm-0.3.3-1mdk.i586 It wouldn't let me because of the XMMS packages; they conflict with my own compiled rpms. Will the former ones help this situation? gabbman, is the release 6 the same as the 9.2 I downloaded from Mandrake's site, just updated? As in, should I go through the trouble of downloading it?

That's, kind of what I'm trying to find out, maybe on of the 'club' members will be able to shed some light on this for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
