if you close MandrakeUpdate and open it again, the updated software disapears from the list of required updates..
I noticed that as well.. try installing ntsysv I don't like control panels services panel, ntsysv has and does serve me well. don't know a think about kde3, never run it, so I cannot help you. are you using Xtart to swap window managers? if not, try it.. (get the latest version.) see if it helps.. it might be how you are starting the others.. I was gettign strange problems will I started using Xtart when I wanted anything but the default WM. (don't think this last suggestion is much help to you, but can't think of anything better offhand.) rgds frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vahur Lokk Sent: Tuesday, 4 June 2002 3:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Few problems Hello! Running Mdk8.2, with KDE upgraded to 3.0 and patches mostly on. Three problems. 1. There are some services like cups and hylafax (there may be others) that would not run on startup. I tried Mandrake Control Center/System/Services ticking the "run at startup" box. No use. Tried MCC/Hardware/Printers to make cups run at startup. No use. Next morning I boot up they are gone and need to be started by hand. 2. Mandrake Update does not eliminate the patches already applied from the patch list. Is something wrong here or does it act like it should? In second case I would strongly suggest changing the policy, otherwise the feature is of no use in half a year. 3. KDE runs rock-solid, at least for my purposes - KMail, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, XMMS (KStars crashing doesn't bother me, I would rather remove it). Whenever I try others like Gnome (I would like it much more than KDE), it will freeze in the end. I cannot point out any specific program or action what causes it, last time it was XMMS for example, but there have been others. Where to start looking for causes, what log I should dig in? Vahur
