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!

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: 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.
