Even if i try to update through the control panel - software - updates i get this msg:Which version of Mandrake 10.1 did you install? Community or Official? If you installed Community version (which really could be called "late beta"), you should:
"it's impossible to retrieve the list of new packages from the media "update_source". Ether this update media is misconfigured ......"
I have tried to configure the source but all it shows is the original 3 install disks. When I try to up date it with any of the online sources that it gives across the world i get the ubove msg

I have installed mdk 10.1 over a week ago and am unable to do auto update
or do software updates. The kicker bar icon shows red with a question
mark. If i click on it .It takes me to the configure wizard. and when I
put in my mandrakeonline usr and pasword it gives me "your log in
password was wrong" message. I can go to mandrakeonline with my browser
and log into my account and set up a profile, but there are no machines
registered.
If I go to the software updates (Configure my computer) and choose one of
the update servers I am unable to download the update list, on all of the
servers world wide. I can download stuff, just downloaded the deb iso's
and email so no problems with connecting to net in general, just the
mandrake update stuff.I have installed the Linux Format DVD disk version.
I suggest you contact your Mandrakeonline service provider (that is, Mandrakesoft or Mandrakesoft's reseller in your country; in my case it was Amavis - and I am in Poland). They should give you a solution to your problem. In my case, the solution was to: 1) Register to Mandrakeonline with a new login name (it was already taken by someone else - hence "your log in password was wrong" in my case) 2) I was given a Mandrakeonline activation code by e-mail 3) After a login to my Mandrakeonline account with my web browser I went to my "hosts" page and activated my host (computer). Now I was able to use my Mandrakeonline service to this computer (for a month, because that was what I got with a boxed version of Mandrake).
And until you solve your problem with Mandrakeonline service, you can always use MandrakeUpdate without any payment. :) Updates there are as quick as on Mandrakeonline servers. I hope that will help you!

1) Remove all media ("urpmi.removemedia -a" as root)
2) Add medium "base" to Mandrake 10.1 *Official*. Use Easy URPMI site's instructions to do so.
3) Update every package (be patient) with "urpmi --auto-select" as root (or MandrakeUpdate or RPMDrake with choosing view "all applications, according to their update availability" or something to that effect).
4) And after that, install the latest kernel (2.8.1-12mdk); reboot with a new kernel - now or later
5) Now after you have upgraded your Mandrake tools, the list of Mandrake mirrors and their locations should work well; use MandrakeUpdate to update all your software to the latest version
Your Mandrakeonline should be now working well, too - if you have paid for the service and Mandrake's servers work well.
Keep in mind that Mandrakeonline works only with *Official* version.
