Greg2 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I updated from MCC using either the DVD or one of the easy-urpmi links I have. Is it possible you have mixed up 32 bit and 64 bit software using your DVD and easy-urpmi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hmmm... that may be, but I'd need to check. I'm not home at the moment, but how can I see, if I've done it correctly (Easy-Urpmi)? If I've managed to screw up something there, should I try to install Mandriva again? The only thing is, that I have not been able to play the damn thing ever on this hw. Not even when I first set it up before I did any easy-uprmi.

Greg2 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I believe your using an i586 DVD? So check to see if when you set up easy-urpmi that you also used i586 and not x86_64? It looks like you may have installed a 64 bit (x86_64) perl or frozen bubble package? If you have managed to do this, and have installed very many apps and libs... it would probably be best to reinstall your system. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well that may be the case... I just tried to install new NVidia drivers and this is what I got: [root@localhost xxxxx]# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run ERROR: this .run file is intended for the Linux-x86 platform, but you appear to be running on Linux-x86_64. Aborting installation. I don't know where have I got this 64 bit information into my system, but I guess I must try to get it back showing 32 bit. This is one of the Easy-Urpmi addresses I've got: ftp://ftp.clinet.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-linux/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/updates If I want to reinstall the system, would I be able to do that without losing everything I've already installed... At least the wireless interface was a real pain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Well, I did install the system anew. Did a full re-installation, but no help. I get the same errors when trying to open Frozen Bubble from the /usr/games/ folder with Ctrl-E. Then again I tried to install the latest NVIDIA drivers and could not install the 32 bit version. I finally installed the 64 bit version and managed to do so. So I don't know anymore which system I have... It did give me some error notification about the kernel, but it seems to be working fine. I can get the glxgears to run smoothly. :unsure: I had previously managed to install both Quake 4 and Doom 3 (also with the expansion pack). I just need to install them again... I must say that ID has done a good job with linux installation. But I guess this is a little off topic for this gaming subforum and the subject.

dude67 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) Just today, I realized that I must be using the wrong system... At least when I changed the easy-urpmi versions to 64 bit versions and updated some packages (including the Frozen Bubble one) I managed to get Frozen Bubble running! Let's see, if I get any other problems with that, but for the moment it looks to work fine... So the problem presented in this topic is solved.
