bvc Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) 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. ;) Edited May 19, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 wo0o0oa now that i look everything is in the metric system, did i forget to install some package???? 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.

Sherpa Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 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.

durvish Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 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.
