Hi all. I finally managed to update my mandrake 9.2 yesterday. I tried deleting the lock file from the /var/lib/urpmi file as directed by Derek, but was denied permission. So I thought I would change the permissions and then delete the lock file. After adding the permission to the /var/lib/urpmi directory I was able to download the update files without even deleting the lock file. Should I still delete the lock file? It took about 3 hours on my dial up connection to download the updates but it went without a hitch, I thought. KMail has likewise apparently been obliterated.
When I booted up today I found that I no longer have the icons for any of the OO.o programs in my kicker/panel. In there place are several gear icons leading to nonexistent directories/files.I checked the "Office" heading on my main menu and there is no sign of OO.o there either. What did I do wrong? What must I do to get my OO.o programs back? I also now find that I have 20+ Gzip files in my /var/lib/urpmi directory. Should I do something with these? Are they even supposed to be there? I also now have about 30 text and XML files and about 24 directories in my home directory Which weren't there previously. Is this expected? Should I remove the added permission for/var/lib/urpmi? Also I no longer have any sound. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. LTR }}:{( [EMAIL PROTECTED]
