Guest ilago Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm new to Mandriva but not to Linux. I've used mostly debian based distros on and off so Mandriva is a bit of a change. I installed Mandriva 2007 from a Powerpack DVD on the weekend. I'm using KDE. I am dual booting Mepis on this this drive and using grub as bootloader. Grub is working fine and both systems boot correctly after manually editing menu.lst. The Mepis installation has been established for several months. I haven't even configured email on this system yet. It may be easier to simply reinstall. I have an error showing next to the clock - Updates: Service configuration problem. Please check logs and send mail to support@mandrivaonline.com When I click on check logs the only error I get is Connecting to ...Problem occured while connecting to the server, please contact the support teamComputing new updates... Connecting to ... Problem occured while connecting to the server, please contact the support team19:19:44 Computing new updates... 19:19:44 Connecting to ... 19:19:46 Problem occured while connecting to the server, please contact the support team Is this the log I'm supposed to email? Seems to lack detail? When I check /home/username I have a very long Xsession-errors log which is being added to while I type this. Which and what do I email to support or can I post the xsession-error log here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 If you have the updates applet by your clock, remove it. It's broken and isn't going to be fixed. This is probably why you're getting the problems. You do updates using the easyurpmi link at the top of this page, and manually apply updates to your system. You can also get around 15,000 packages from easyurpmi too, which is great :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ilago Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks ianw1974 - that explains that one. I'll do that tomorrow. It's nearly midnight here. What do I do with the massive and growing xsession.errors log :huh: Mandriva has only run for about 8 hours altogether and completely froze once. I suspect one or more of those errors are relevant here. I'd rather fix this (I get to learn more) than reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I don't know, what's in the log file? Would need to know what's causing the errors to stop them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
