studmuffin007 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 When i go into MCC and look for available software and updates, as soon as i click anything whether its the search button or the directory on the left it closes down and i am back to the opening screen of MCC it only started last night. what could be causing it and how can i repair it?

Timppl Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sounds like something has messed up a bit. I had the same with the rpmdrame from testing. Try logging in as root from a console and run 'urpmi --update --autoselect'. Oh and check you havent got testing as one of your repos ( probably a good idea to disable any plf repos temporarily as well ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin007 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks for that but this is what it returns the entry to update is missing (one of main_release, contrib_release, non-free_release, main_updates, contrib_updates, non-free_updates, main_backports, contrib_backports, non-free_backports, main_testing, contrib_testing, non-free_testing) Whats that mean? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I do believe some of the mirrors are having problems. I re-installed all my sources because I was getting a similar result as you are. What is happening I have no idea. Anyway all I had to do was go to easyupmi (link at the top of the page) and use a different mirror to the one I already had, which was a UK one and all was well again. Hope that helps. Don't forget to remove the old sources first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin007 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I have done that because i was having problems before, suppose it wont hurt to give it another try. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin007 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 OK deleted my sources and added newer ones but i still have the same probs. What else could be causing it? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 is any entry marked as update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin007 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 If you mean when i go to MCC and select where software packages are DL from i have one called main upddate's. When i run urpmi.update from console i get this urpmi.update the entry to update is missing (one of plf-free, plf-free_backports, plf-nonfree, plf-nonfree_backports, main, main_updates, main_backports, contrib, contrib_updates, contrib_backports, non-free, non-free_updates) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Ok, when using urpmi.update you also have to give the name of the media to update, To update all use: urpmi.update -a After that run urpmi --update --auto-select to download and install any new packages.

Mhn Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 have you restarted mcc? If something closes unexpectedly it use to work after I've closed down mcc and then started it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin007 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yes done that and restarted the pc but to no avail on numerous occasions Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 greetings studmuffin007 The first two things i would try is to run from a terminal as su rpmdrake or mcc To see if there are errors. Next i would login as a newly created user, then launch mcc to see if the problem is related to a specific user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Sorry studmuffin007 I lost track of this thead. INTERNAL ERROR: can not find image state_installed MDK::Common::Various::internal_error() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/mygtk2.pm:274 mygtk2::gtknew() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/ugtk2.pm:610 /usr/lib/libDrakX/ugtk2.pm /usr/lib/libDrakX/mygtk2.pm are part of drakxtools package. Maybe checking if you have these files or reinstalling of drakxtools will help. Here is a link with similar symptoms to yours. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...ad.php?t=527362 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
