cjc Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 (edited) Hi Gang I have been away from Linux way too long, a change in jobs, divorce (which really sucks), ssssssllllllooooowwwww dialup (26.6-24kbps), well now I have DSL - YES! Okay I used the typical easy way to do updates (Mandriva Control center), seems that Firefox 1.5XXXX has signature issues and refuses to install. I have changed mirrors and such and keep getting the same... Looks to me like I am going to have to do a manual delete of the downloaded files. Where does Mandriva store the downloaded files? Like I said I've been away for a while...back to noobie state. Sorry for the stupid question. Thanks CJC Edited August 27, 2006 by cjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 /var/cache/urpmi/rpms ? not 100 % sure but somewhere there they should be had no signature problems with the ff 1.5 update though, maybe the mirrors were not in sync at the time ?

daniewicz Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 If an rpm download is interrupted it will be stored in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms as lavaeolus said. To clean the cached rpms you can use: urpmi --clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjc Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 not that I'm any help but must say ...crikey dude . .welcome back :) .. haven't seen you round here for a while Thanks Paul...snif , someone remembers me.... Glad to be back mate! I think, M2006 is being unusually weird. Performed: urpmi --clean uprmi now locked...no problem, log out / reboot hey I'm a noob now! And I use Windows Back into Mandriva Control Center... pick a site any site for updates etc. Darned if none of them want to work...can't connect, configuration is wrong or other lame excuse... Heck I am connected...how do they think I'm posting this? Telepathy? Won't be a loss if I need to run the M2006 DVD and reinstall (nice having DSL!!!!! :D ) Suggestions?

cjc Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Well for whatever reason, on boot and giving Mandriva one last chance to get all the update links/downloads right... Everthing worked today :unsure: Still scratching me head over this...but hey I'm updated and current. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
