mcc won't start

[oldnoob]

I recently installed some dvd author software and now several things dont work including mcc.

 

I am using Mandrake 10.1

Recently i went to install software from install software in the nice gui in kde, i chose a few programs as i like a choice, all downloaded but wouldnt install for reasons i cant remember. I tried a few times over a couple of days. So then i removed my urpmi sources and installed new sources from another mirror (japan), took ages, normal mirror australia, much quicker. Installed software from japan mirror, it downloaded and installed ok.

 

Some of the downloaded programs would start but others wouldnt, which i didnt think much of. The next day my son tells me that his favourite game (frozen bubble) wont start, so i think i will remove some of the software i have just installed. So i go to Packaging/Remove Software, it wont start, now i start to worry! So i go to command line (SHAKY Ground for me) and try to start mcc from there

 

[root@localhost everyone]# mcc

Segmentation fault

[root@localhost everyone]#

 

So i google Segmentation fault and dont come up with much i understand, a couple of mentions about accessing memory.

 

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to approach these problems.

 

Because google mentioned memory, I dont know if this has anything to do with it but i thought 246404 used of my 256mb is a lot for konqueror and a mail program to be using

 

[root@localhost everyone]# free

Segmentation fault means that some other program the MCC is depending on is missing/changed. Open a console, log in as root and type: urpmi.update -a (make sure you have all repositories). Then do: urpmi --auto-select.

 

If that doesn't work use the repair script from the tips and trick forum on this board.

 

Good luck.

I tried urpmi.update -a

all i know is that there appears to be a lot of missing files, how would i go about replace/repairing them?

What urpmi sources do you have? Have you set these up:

 

http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php

[devries]

Can't locate URPM.pm in @INC

 

means that urpm.pm is missing. With http://rpm.pbone.net/ you can find that it is in urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk.noarch.rpm so you need to install that package. If you can't install it with urpmi (very likely) download it, open a console, cd to the directory the rpm is located and type: rpm -ivh urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk.noarch.rpm

 

Good luck.

My probrems started when rpm´s from my local australian mirror would no longer install (previously everything worked great). I then did urpmi.removemedia -a and then chose japan as my mirror, then the rpm´s from the japan mirror would install-the same rpm´s that wouldn´t install from australian mirror. When i started to notice things not working i did urpmi.removemedia -a and chose australian mirror sites again (but I have a feeling that the names of the sites were different to when I initially set it all up).

 

I tried installing urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk.noarch.rpm, but it came up with

 

# rpm -ivh urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk.noarch.rpm

Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

package urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk is already installed

 

and no, I couldn´t install with urpmi, it came up with same message

 

Can't locate URPM.pm in @INC, etc, etc....

 

Can I somehow force it to install even though it says it is already installed?

[arctic]

try with the force command:

rpm --force ...

in a console, type rpm --help or rpm --man for the full list of commands for rpm. ;)

[oldnoob]

I had a look at the man urpmi, but i thought i should ask first before i cause more havok on my machine

 

# rpm --force -ivh urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk.noarch.rpm
