Guest Rock-HOG Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hello, One of my New Years Resolutions is to convert from Windows to Linux. I have been using Windows for too long and its time to try something new. I have downloaded the dvd version of Mandrake 10.1 from the website and installed it on my machine. I have noticed a bunch of cool features and customizations settings that I could never do with Windows (about time). Anyways I noticed that there are some programs that do not start when you double click on them. I am currently using the KDE desktop and they are programs like the system configuration tool located on the task bar. You double click on it and its sits there on the taskbar acting like its gonna start but does not. There are others as well but I will use the configuration tool program as an example. Is there something I need to do to make these work again. Rock-HOG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarian Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) I've been getting the same error with a lot of progs (Kwrite, Kuickshow, Konqueror, Kedit), but nobody even replied with any proposal of solution to my plea for help ( ), so I did a double reinstall (it was messed up the first reinstall too) and for now it seems to be ok. For now. I think it has something to do with updates, updating your KDE in not the right order somehow.. really duno. edit: here is the original thread -> http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?act=ST&f=10&t=22145 Edited January 21, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anon Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Looks like you may have had a bad install of Linux. Try this, open up a consol and login (su) as root. Type: urpmi drakconf If it tells you "everything already installed" then type rpm -e drakconf (to remove it) and then try to reinstall it. Failing that, you may have to reinstall Linux.

Guest Rock-HOG Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Ok, I did as you requested and its still does the same thing. I did a google on it and its seems to me that im not the only one. Ive killed the partition and reinstalled as well. Must be either bad media or file. Ill just live with it till next version. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbrich Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yo, you might wanna just try downloading some new .iso's and burning new install disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
