sglafata Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I have no idea how this happened, but RPMDrake is now hosed on my system (possibly a recent power outage). Whenever I try to install anything, it hangs during installation. I've tried to re-install RPMDrake, but obviously, it can't complete the installation. I just need to get RPMDrake working again so that I can go back to installing as I used to. What other ways are people using to install software in Mandrake. I am using 9.2 currently. Will RPMDrake in Cooker work or is that compiled for the 2.6 kernel (in preparation for MLX)? I tried doing a search, but the Search functionality looks funky this time around. I got this huge listing of garbage (possibly the text of the search results). I don't know if they're working on it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 run rpmdrake from a terminal and see if you get any errors....and post them. For all the different mods of rpmdrake, like install, remove, add sources, mandrake updtae, do rpm -ql rpmdrake and look at all the /usr/bin/* Try to run different ones and get some errors. rpmdrake in cooker is going to require that you upgrade a lot of stuff. So that's up to u, but it's not recommended. Other ways? urpmi and rpm from a terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglafata Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 OK - I'll try that. I did try urpmi from a konsole and it did the same thing....it hung up during the install. I try it and post tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
