one more question before i leave what were those commands u gave me "urpmi" and such, i used those and it seemed as though i could install and uninstall things w/o dependency issues they were great

[bvc]

I'm not sure what you mean, but they're above in this thread somewhere.

 

urpmi name_of_pkg (will install)

urpme name_of_pkg (will uninstall)

urpmf name_of_pkg/file (will list pkg with that name/file in your sources and doesn't look as to whether or not it is installed. It's a 'rpm find within your sources' function)

urpmi.update -a (will update your sources)

urpmi --auto --auto-select (will update all installed pkgs.....be careful with this one, as kernels and bootloaders among other things will be installed) Personally, I put;

kernel

lilo

grub

in /etc/urpmi/skip.list to avoid these from automatically installed and do it myself, if I want to.

 

again, SEE:

remember the --help and man for

rpm

urpmi

urpme

urpmf

urpmq

 

example: man urpmi

or

urpmi --help

 

Glad you're rolling again!

 

Oh, the Software Installer (rpmdrake) is just a gui to these urpmi commands, but as usual the commandline gives you a lot more options. ;)

if you're still having the metric problem, go to KCC (Kontrol Center, IE: configure your desktop)->accessibility->country, region & language. check under the various tabs & make sure things are set approriately for your country/region, etc. click apply. you may have to restart KDE for the changed settings to take effect.

ya i went and change to use the imperial system instead of the metric, now im having slow startup, and it has crashed a couple of times; the login screen would not come up in the GUI when it was supposed to , but the mouse still worked and i could do ctrl alt F1 and work in the text system, i left it crashed like that overnight and when i woke up it was in KDE so now i am updating everything...... hopefully that will fix it, there are a ton of updated that are supposed to fix a bunch of bugs for KDEBASE and other things, but right now i have not turned off my computer to see if any thing bad has happened by me updating things, hopefully not though.

google to "easy urpmi" and follow the directions , if you have kde up and running then after you set up easy urpmi go to MCC and run an update, this should fix any dependencies issues.

yep everything works now, thanks, NOW if i could just get my surround sound system to work with SB Audigy 2

[Sherpa]

YES YES YES, after installing all of these updates, a new version of kmix is out and my surround works...... i am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
