arthurking Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 fuzzylizard, YOU ARE THE MAN :D the problem was the encrypted passwords. I don't remember setting that but I may have, confusing it with null password, or some b.s. Any way thats my excuse :woops: Are you running 9.2 from the newly released iso's or rc2 like I was? Damn took me all day, plus most of last night to install the new 9.2 iso's. Md5's were all ok, but it kept on hanging during install, then I installed and updated some kdebase thing and lost all the kmenu items, configuration, network, only a small handful of programs, and I couldn't urpmi or rpm to update. I re-installed again ( a couple of hangs later) and now I'm in :unsure: I set the encrypted passwords to yes and then no, just to be sure and that was it! Thanks for your help.

fuzzylizard Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Cool, congrats on getting it all working. The install hanging like that is a little weird, but hey, if it works, who cares. The install that I used was 9.2 from the mandrake club bittorrent ISO's. Although, with all the updates, it should now be the same as the general public ISO's.

arthurking Posted November 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I'm about to add a post in the install forum having weird/ strange install sessions. md5's are OK but sometimes the install hangs or says something about error installing xxxx_ package or some crap. Very hit and miss, I thought it was corrupt data on cd2, I don't know. But now having trouble with updating stuff too, tried to update kdebase from .79 to .79.1.92 and then I lost 95% of my K menu applications and all the icons that remained turned into folders. AAAHHH!!!! Turned into a right old mess, had to re-install again/again/again.... if you know what I mean. Any way thanks for your help, I'm going to the install forum now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Losing the menu options in KDE when you upgrade has been a common problem. I had it as well when I updated. To fix it, all you need to do is to run the menu thingy, menuconfi, or something like that. Do a search for dissapearing menu items and you should find info about what to do when it happens.
