Re: [Cooker] Install 7.2 problems with rpm's

[Bruce Abderholden]

I am also having the same problem.  I have installed the OPERA web browser 
RPM, Caitoo RPM, AOL Messenger RPM, and Knapster RPM.  All installed without 
error.  Yet when I attempt to locate the icons on the desktop all are 
missing with the exception of Knapster which reacts perfectly.

When attempting to install them again I get a cannot install error because 
they are already installed.  Additionally when I searched for the installed 
programs I was able to locate them in the RPM directory and if run from 
there they function fine.  My question is where the Hell did the icons go.

[Cooker] Install 7.2 problems with rpm's

[R Brown]

I installed 7.2 beta3rc1...install went well except with 2
errors.
The install wasn't able to install menu-2.1.5-40mdk, menudrake-0.2-3mdk and 
xinitrc-2.4.4-31mdk which I figure is my problem. When I logon,
everything starts with no errors, but when the desktop comes up,
there are no icons and for some strange reason there is a console
box half the size which can't maximized or minimized.

Like I said, no icons on the desktop. I can start netscape from
the
console and other programs.
I go into rpmdrake and try to install the two uninstalled rpm
files,
but get an error that says the rpm files have not been signed and
won't install. I believe if these three files will install, that
will solve the problem. Does anyone have a work around for this
or
know where i can get more info on a fix for this.

Regards,
Ron
