mandrakeonline

[beesea]

anyone here use it? i'd like to get it working cause i'm too lazy to update myself.

 

first off, i did run the mandrakeonline wizard from configuration -> other -> discover custom services (and i did choose to have automatic updates). i also made sure to schedule updates from mandrakeonline.net and i do have a permanent internet connection.

 

even though i did all these things, my machine isn't updating automatically. anyone know how to get it working? after searching through my /etc/cron directories i found that the program in question is /usr/bin/mdkupdate. if i run it manually all scheduled updates are downloaded and installed. however, nothing is downloaded or installed when cron calls it. i'm positive cron runs it, but for some reason nothing gets downloaded

I'm having exactly the same problem, does anyone know how to make Mandrakeonline install the files it downloads at night?

Have you made sure that crond is running ???.

It is not necessarily set as default to run. Go into MCC ....Services ..........Enable or disable the system services and make sure there is a tick in crond.
