This appears to be a common problem in 8.1 software manager. I have used the following solution after wasting 2 days of reinstalling, searching, reinstalling:
delete all references to the ftp site in: /var/lib/urpmi Software manager should work again. Reload the list of security sites, and don't choose the offending site (nor the one I choose : ftp. club-internet.fr ...) Good luck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of mr_tortoise (Nathan Pryor) Sent: sábado 29 de diciembre de 2001 18:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] problem with Software Manager Hello. The Mandrake Software Manager freezes on startup when it attempts to refresh the security update source I defined (ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu). I have checked the ftp site and can logon anonymously with no problem. I did not provide a username and password for the security update source thinking it would logon anonymously by default. Is there any way I can delete me current settings without running the Software Manager? -thanks
