Canam97 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I have reinstalled mandrake 4 times now and also bought 10.1 powerpack and still get the same issues. I want to update/install the kernel source code so i can get my ati drivers to work properly. I get this error: unable to access rpm file [kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-12mdk.i586.rpm] error registering local packages This is not the first ime I have had this and there seems to be no way past it. I have done nothing but update my media(several mrrors) And used thacs to install xorg 6.8. Help me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 You may have a corrupt database. Open a consol as root (su) and run: rpm --rebuilddb then run: uname -r to check your running installed kernel. Then get the kernel-source that matches exactly your running kernel.

Canam97 Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 performed the rpm rebuildbd then uname -r tried to urpmi kernel-source still the same error. went to system/configuration/packaging/install software and it worked(or i think it did) Now do i need to reperform the driver install? I believe the gcc is already there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
