Guest infin1ght Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 After just doing a clean install of Mandriva, everything was working like it should on a new distro. However, after a bit of tweaking, windows will ranomly close. In firefox, it will simply close immediatly under certain odd circrumstances(opening PDF?), which did not happen prior. I'm using KDE on Mandriva 2K7. In the configuration menu, I can no longer access the urpmi package manager. I'm really baffaled on this one. Any input would be much appreciated.

arctic Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Welcome aboard. :) Could you explain what you tweaked? Try starting the applications from a terminal and check for the error messages when the apps suddenly close. Also, create a new user and check if this affects the new user, too, or if it is only your old account that has these hiccups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest infin1ght Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Welcome aboard. :) Could you explain what you tweaked? Try starting the applications from a terminal and check for the error messages when the apps suddenly close. Also, create a new user and check if this affects the new user, too, or if it is only your old account that has these hiccups. Well, basically, I did a lot. Everything I normally do with a new distro. I installed fluxbox, although I still use KDE, started installing easyURPMI, changed kde appearance settings and the such. One of the most noticable problems is whenever anything is attempted to be downloaded in firefox, it immediatly closes. I'm lead to believe that it may be the appeance changes, as when I tried to run the package manager from drakconf, I got the following error: -WARNING **: Theme file for default has no name Gtk-WARNING **: Theme file for default has no directories Right before the window is closed. Not sure what to do about this.. I suppose I could try changing themes. EDIT: It did work, when I picked a pre-loaded KDE theme, however I'm still left in the dark on what would cause this, any insight?

adamw Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 It's a known bug in 2007 that was solved (a long time ago) with an official update. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandr...h_invalid_theme Make sure you install all the official updates to 2007, there are many bug and security fixes.
