eroica Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 hello, I've been experiencing problem w/new rpmdrake package causing my laptop to freeze. I reinstalled old old_rpmdrake package but it is not used when using MCC. I tried removing the updated rpmdrake but urpmi wants to remove old_rpmdrake also. Any suggestions on howto make old_rpmdrake open by default in MCC? Has there been anything about the new rpmdrake causing troubles. I looked in the latest errata but saw nothing.thanx.....

daniewicz Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Has there been anything about the new rpmdrake causing troubles. Have a look at this thread: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...26&hl=urpmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eroica Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 thanx but that's not exactly what i am experiencing. I have no trouble adding repo's or accessing and updating. It's that my install has become very unstable since i updated to new rpmdrake v3.3. i will be in MCC doing a systemupdate or looking for packages and a good 50% of the time while i'm in there my cursor just disappears and keyboard totally locks up. cant ctl-alt-f1 or anything. have to do a hard reset which i hate doing to bring system back up. I want revert back old_rpmdrake to see if problem persists. I've looked in system logs but see nothing that stands out. Is there any logs for rpm i could look at. As for getting old_rpm to work w/MCC i'm thinking of renaming all old_rpm binaries in /usr/bin to the new rpmdrake binary names. Do u think this will force MCC to bring up old_rpmdrake....

Why do you need it to invoke from MCC? Either: 1. Use the cmd line and enter (as root) "old_rpmdrake" or 2. create a shortcut in your menu or desktop that runs the command "kdesu old_rpmdrake" -Crispus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eroica Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 to be honest i'm having so many stability problems that I just want to always run old_rpmdrake. And it simplifies maintenance. I know if I want to do something/anything I can do it from MCC.And to me the less clutter on the desktop the better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
