Mdk ROOT PROBLEM.

After i installed some rpm's from texstar like :

 

fontconfig-2.0-1tex.i586.rpm

freetype2-2.1.2-2tex.i586.rpm

Xft-2.0-1tex.i586.rpm

 

i rebooted and suddenly the prompt changed from root to localhost.I typed root, and them my password and it worked.But tha bash promt is also changed, it no longer says root@localhost, it says bash-2.05.

 

I thought maybe something happened to lilo.conf.When i opened it with vim it had strange symbols, that i don't know how they got there like : @.

 

Still i thought smth messed up vim and i opened lilo.conf with gedit, gedit which told me that lilo.conf is a binary file.How could this have happened, lilo.conf isn't a binary file, at least it shouldn't be.

 

Do u have any ideas about what i should have to do to get things to work as before, because i'd really hate to reinstall Mdk9 the thid time, especially now that i've configured it.

 

I'm not 100% sure that the rpms did that, but i didn't do practicaly anything else.....

.bashrc is also binary : Could not open the file "/root/.bashrc" because it contains invalid UTF-8 data.

 

Probably, you are trying to open a binary file.

 

And any file i try to open with vim, it gives me this warning message :

 

viminfo:Illegal starting char in line :

viminfo:Illegal starting char in line :

viminfo:Illegal starting char in line :

viminfo:Illegal starting char in line :

 

After the : are some strange characters like an A with two dots above.

It's really annoing.I've made my mind, i'll reinstall MDK AGAIN. :cry::cry::cry::cry:

I've done it, i've reinstalled Mdk again :twisted:

Now i'm thinking wether to install those rpms.

 

Tell me smth, if i want to install freetype2 and xft should i uninstall the older rpms, if there are any, or should i install them over the old ones

(again, if they are present) :?:
