All of the updates for 9.2 have an invalid gpg signature For example : rpm --checksig kernel-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm returns : kernel-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm: sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#22458a98) i even imported gpg key from https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS same thing. I used fr2.rpmfind.net to download updates.
Next : On this page http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKA-2003:020 Mandrake says that all of the mandrakeclub commercial drivers are available. Quote: "New commercial drivers for this kernel are available at Mandrake Club." Now my English is a bit rusty but this should mean that they are there wright NOW !!!!! I don't see them here : http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/MandrakeClub/comm/9.2/i586/ByDate.html Next: After updating my system KDE lost its desktop and also menus. Deleting a user and adding it again didn't work. I wasn't even able to run rxvt since alt+f2 didn't work. Luckily there was menudrake in the menus so i restored the original menus. You people need a reality check. And some really heavy quality assuring since this is really unprofessional. I don't remember something like this happening before. Now desktop issues don't bother me really but if such obvious things are happening what is going to happen with nonobvious. I'm currently building a new firewall/ruter using 9.2 and I'm starting to question myself should i do it with 9.2. I can't afford such stupid things to happen on a central firewall in my network. Now how do you think this looks in the eyes of a desktop user ? It shoes that Mandrake is really unprofessional. It's no wonder that people look at me weird when a say that i use Mandrake for all of my servers. Maybe I should try some other distribution but since i have been using Mandrake since 7.0 or so it would be really sad. Just my 0.2 $.
