MCC recovery

[Guest veorves]

A few months ago I updated my computer from Mandriva 2005 to 2006 ; in the process, I somehow lost MCC.

 

I am not totally worried about that, as I can reach most install options through webmin (that still works quite well) but along with MCC loss some settings such as automatic CD and DVD drives have also disappeared, and I'm not an absolute champion of the command line yet.

 

However, I've tried to re-install MCC from urpmi, and every time I've tried I got the usual message "all packages are already installed", but I still can't launch it.

 

What I get when I try to launch it from konsole (as root) is the following :

 

can not find function c::bind_textdomain_codeset

c::AUTOLOAD() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/mygtk2.pm:21

Thanks in advance for help & advice

Upgrades are problematic. It is best to have the /home directory on a seperate partition and perform a fresh install with new releases.

Do an update off all "drake" tools. I would recommend configuring urpmi with EasyUrpmi found at the top of our board. Then install all of the updates.

I'm not an expert but it looks to me that drakx tries to call some gtk functions which isn't available. So I think it's rather a problem with gtk than with MCC.

[Ixthusdan]

Yes, of course it is. But, by installing the latest tools, urpmi should catch the gtk updates as well. This problem also occurs if one mixes mde rpms with standard kde rpms, although I think mmodem has said he is finally using the new gtk now.

You could force a reinstall of the draktools and some gtk libraries with urpmi.

 

urpmi --force <packagenames>
