Guest winton Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 First i am new to linux new to Mandriva. I got Mandriva 2007 installed the 4 CDs. Now when i try to install superkaramba it says " must select packages first" I thought i did that by clicking on superkaramba and clicking on apply. So i try to delete it and to reinstall but the box is checked and green circle is on also. But i am unable to get it to work or find it anywhere on the computer??

daniewicz Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) Welcome to MUB B) In this link artic reports that rpmdrake under Mandriva 2007 may have some problems. His suggestion is to use the command line (terminal) to install. to install rpm xxx and it's dependencies (after typing su and giving the root password): urpmi --keep xxx.rpm Edited October 16, 2006 by daniewicz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It seems search does not work when you select install software. I searched for kdewebdev and nothing even though it has been added to media manager. A urpmi kdewebdev-3.5.4-4mdv2007.0.i586 installs it so it does know where it is, it just don't show up in a search or on the list to install. Any fix?

ianw1974 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 You can do from the console: urpmf --name packagename replace packagename with what you're looking for. Here is an example, I used "pdf": [ian@europa ~]$ urpmf --name pdf ghostscript-dvipdf xpdf-tools xpdf kdegraphics-kpdf acroread-nppdf acroread-plugins-legalpdf ghostscript-dvipdf xpdf-tools xpdf pdftohtml tetex-dvipdfm docbook-utils-pdf gcc-doc-pdf glibc-doc-pdf kdegraphics-kpdf fax2pdf gcc3.3-doc-pdf gpdf patriarche-pdf patriarche-pdf-en pdftk php-pear-XML_fo2pdf ppdfilt libpdf1 libpdf1-devel libpdf1-static-devel php-pdf libcpdf2-devel libcpdf2-static-devel libcpdf2 of course it lists all packages with pdf in the name. You can immediately disregard lib files since these are libraries, and will be pulled where necessary for the relative package you install.
