Julie if I may chime in get 10.0 right first then try upgrading to 10.1 much easier BTW do you have broadband ?
What I've done is in my ignorance begun updating 10.1 when what I had was six-month-old 10.0 installed from discs. The 10.0 was fine :( until I messed it up with this "update." Now it's all screwed up. Where do I begin to fix it? I'm sure what I have now is part 10.0 and part 10.1 and missing some vital parts of each due to conflicts and/or dependencies. Where do I start??
put your 10.0 disk in and choose upgrade ..this should resolve *some* of your problems the main problem is that 10 and 10.1 can and often do use different kernel versions
Thanks Aron, I did that; had one message during install saying graphical interface would not be configured, the rest went quickly. Rebooted and everything looked as it did before; still can't access KMail nor MCC. On reboot got a crash message:
Soundserver - the KDE Crash Handler Soundserver (artsd) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)
What do I do next; see about 10.0 updates at easyurpmi?
I would set up my urpmi sources for 10.0 at
http://www.urpmi-addmedia.org/
or
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/
and make shure you have main contrib and updates plf and jpackage will also be usefull
(it is a learning experience isn't it) :-D
Yes it is! Everything seemed to go fine for a while, I did the following:
urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/mandrake/10.1 with hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia --update updates http://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.1/main_updates with media_info/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia main http://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia contrib http://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/contrib with media_info/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia jpackage http://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/jpackage with media_info/hdlist.cz
urpmi.update -a --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select && rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n && ldconfig -v
and each media gave me this:
unable to take medium "jpackage" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.jpackage] exists
then when all looked done, this happened:
...retrieving done
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz]
