philip101a Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Well, this is where I tell you that it is time for drastic measures. Maybe your download disks were bad? Did you do an md5sum on them? Do you still have the ISOs and the *.md5sum files to check them with? I would either: (1) Use those disks to do an 'Upgrade' (not a complete reinstall...choose the Upgrade option) or (2) Download 10.1 and do an Upgrade with it. Of course checking the md5sums. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes Still have discs. As I said in earlier post - for me its no problem (at the moment anyway) to just ignore the opening messages and accept that software management is u/s. I will wait for 10.2 (sometime in March is my understanding and do upgrade then. Anyway Steve it has been a good experience for me to work with you (albeit at a distance - about 3000m at a rough estimated) and a learning one for me. Thanks again for all your help Phil from Frome.

philip101a Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hi Spiny Norman and Anon. Well noted your comments and I did infact originally enter the correct line into console (wonderful thing cut andpaste :D ) For the sake of good order and to be certain have just done same again with following result. [ phil]$ su Password: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: Invalid argument locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: Invalid argument locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: Invalid argument [phil]# cdDesktop bash: cdDesktop: command not found [ phil]# cd Desktop Desktop]# [root Desktop]# rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs perl-5.8.1-0.RC4.3mdk.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl-base = 2:5.8.1-0.RC4.3mdk is needed by perl-5.8.1-0.RC4.3mdk perl(re) is needed by perl-5.8.1-0.RC4.3mdk perl(warnings::register) is needed by perl-5.8.1-0.RC4.3mdk [root Desktop]# Thanks for your interest in my difficulties. Any suggestions gratefully received . Your keen eyes will have noted my ability to enter cdDesktop without the space. Says legions for my CLI ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
