boatman9 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I tried to install knetworkmanager, but got the following message. [root@evo user]# urpmi --auto --noclean knetworkmanager A requested package cannot be installed: networkmanager-0.6.4-5mdv2007.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libiw.so.28) Anyone else unable to install knetworkmanager?

aphelion Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 You could try installing libiw29 first, it contains libiw.so.29, not the same version, but it's newer, so it may be ok. Then try installing knetworkmanager again. [Edit] Oh, forgot I am on 2008.1, so you might not have libiw29, but just search libiw, then check what files are in it by highlighting it in MCC, then click files, and see what version of libiw.so is contained in it. If it is .28 or .29 it should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman9 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I tried that, here is what happened. [root@evo etc]# urpmi --auto --noclean libiw29 Package libiw29-29-0.pre22.1mdv2008.0.i586 is already installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelion Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) The version of knetworkmanager that you are trying to install seems to be for 2007.1, but you say you are using 2008 ? root@evo user]# urpmi --auto --noclean knetworkmanagerA requested package cannot be installed: networkmanager-0.6.4-5mdv2007.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libiw.so.28) Why aren't you installing the one for 2008? knetworkmanager-0.2-1mdv2008.0 (it is in contrib) hmmm, I'm getting confused bouncing between versions :| Edited April 6, 2008 by aphelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman9 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have no idea where that networkmanager-0.6.4-5mdv2007.1.i586 is coming from. I am doing urpmi.removemedia -a then adding all my sources again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelion Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Do you not like MCC? I find that you can see so much better what is going on, I don't mind the CLI, but I only use it if I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman9 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 What is MCC? I also tried adding knetworkmanager via the "Install & Remove Software" GUI tool. It did not work there either, but it was Version: 0.2-1mdv2008.0. The error messaage says "Sorry, the following package cannot be selected", no reason was given. I use the command line because I like to save all the downloaded rmps for another computer, and do not know how to do that from the GUI tool. I think the GUI tool deletes the rpms after they have been installed. When was 2008.1 released? I have not found it anywhere yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelion Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 What is MCC MCC is the Mandriva Control Center, Start Menu/Tools/System Tools/Configure Your Computer, or link in task bar, or just mcc in a konsole as root, will get you there. I use the command line because I like to save all the downloaded rmps for another computer, and do not know how to do that from the GUI tool. I think the GUI tool deletes the rpms after they have been installed. You can have the packages saved while using the GUI, at least you could, I haven't yet tried it with 2008.1, but I guess it will work. You have just got to edit a file. When was 2008.1 released? I have not found it anywhere yet. Well, it's not released yet, but they made the final ISO's the other day, so I guess it's finished. I am using RC2, updated via cooker to the latest, which is/will become the same thing as the final 2008.1. The updates have pretty much stoped over the last day or so, and it now says 2008.1 (Official), so I guess it's as final as it's going to get. It's supposed to be officially released on the 9th or 10th this month, so it's not far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking777 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Won't drakconnect do what you want? In my opinion it is vastly superior to knetworkmanager. Drakconnect on its own it is one of the main reasons I have switched to Mandriva as my default distro it is so superior to anything else I have ever used.

coverup Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I recall seeing an article on mandriva Wiki, according to which Mandriva have decided in favor of net_applet over knetworkmanager. Therefore, you won't be able to install knetworkmanager using regular tools such as urpmi/rpmdrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 A requested package cannot be installed:networkmanager-0.6.4-5mdv2007.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libiw.so.28) You have came across a bug that has been reported, but has not yet been resolved:qa.mandriva.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman9 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Won't drakconnect do what you want? Apparently not. I only wanted to try knetworkmanager in case it might solve a problem I am having with my Orinoco Gold card. See my post about that here: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=54784 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
