Shayner Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 hey, im using mandrake 10.1, and im setting up to be a router. Im using the wizards in MCC to set this up. However anytime i click and type in an empty field, the system locks up. same way with the package installer, if it says additional packages needed, it freezes. Anyone know of any remedies? Oh, and last night it said that Urmpi was locked? but it installed today. Thnx -Shayner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I'd try the following now: - clean the urpmi cache - run updatedb - try to install the packages from the command line. (search for relevant packages with urpmq or urpmf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayner Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 lol. i have no idea how to do that. Im still a noob. i need stepbystep :) thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Oh... here we go. Click on the little black monitor icon. This will lead you to a terminal. In this terminal, type su then enter the root password (it will be hidden, thus you won't see what you are typing there). Once this is done, type updatedb for updating your system database. Once this is finished, type urpmi --clean This will remove all broken, partially or completely downloaded rpms from the system cache so you can work on a clean urpmi source. Now it is good to set up online mirrors. Go to here http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php and set up some online software mirrors. Once this is done, install the packages from the cli. These three links will be interesting for you: Information about urpmi (the installation tool): http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/urpmi/urpmi.8.html Information on urpmq (the query tool): http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/urpmi/urpmq.8.html Information on urpmf (the search/find tool): http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/urpmi/urpmf.8.html Try to search the packages that you need with urpmq and urpmf from the command line now, once you know what you want to install, type urpmi packagename1 packagename2 packagename3 etc. and hit enter. Urpmi will now install the packages and resolve the dependencies automatically. Hope that helps. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayner Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) The typing delay only happens in the MCC. The windows will also freeze for no reason. Edited March 28, 2006 by Shayner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
