I am running 8.1
I have used MandrakeUpdate and selected the 3 categories (Bug fixes,
Normal, Security). I installed everything except the Kernels (3 packages).
After that, once rebooting, the following happens:
1. During boot the network is available (I can ping the Linux
machine from outside). As soon as the Login Screen becomes
available (or shortly after) the network is unreachable.
The Linux machine is not visible from outside and it
cannot reach other machines.
But it can ping itself (using 192.168.0.1 or the machine
name).
2. The Graphical Login wants to reconfigure my desktop as if
it was the first time. When I select the first step (the
KDE desktop but it is the same with Gnome), then the NVidia
screen appears and I am prompted again with the Login
Screen.
The only way I can access my system is via a non-graphical
console
Could someone tell me if I did something wrong when I used MandrakeUpdate
(I mean, should i only have used the "Security" category ???) or
if this problem was exprimented by other people?
How could I get a working system back (other than re-installing
MDK 8.1 again) ?
Thanks a lot. Best regards
