All of the updates for 9.2 have an invalid gpg signature
For example :
rpm --checksig kernel-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
returns :
kernel-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm: sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS:
GPG#22458a98)
i even imported gpg key from https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS
same thing.
I used fr2.rpmfind.net to download updates.
How did you import the key? Did you do it using gpg?
If so, then you really need to learn how to use urpmi. urpmi will import
the key for you. You also need to use rpm to import the key since rpm
manages the keys internally now instead of using gpg.

Mandrake says that all of the mandrakeclub commercial drivers are
available.
Quote:
New commercial drivers for this kernel are available at Mandrake
Club.
Now my English is a bit rusty but this should mean that they are there
wright NOW !
I don't see them here :
http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/MandrakeClub/comm/9.2/i586/ByDate.html
The nvidia rpms should be up by now or very shortly... waiting on the Club
webmaster for that. The ATI ones will be up as soon as I obtain the srpms.

After updating my system KDE lost its desktop and also menus.
Deleting a user and adding it again didn't work.
I wasn't even able to run rxvt since alt+f2 didn't work.
Luckily there was menudrake in the menus so i restored the original
menus.
No one in testing experienced this, so I'm not sure what the problem was.
Perhaps you just needed to run update-menus as root... there seems to be
an issue with rpm not always running this, although it hasn't been confirmed
yet.
You people need a reality check. And some really heavy quality
assuring since this is really unprofessional. I don't remember
something like this happening before.
Now desktop issues don't bother me really but if such obvious things
are happening what is going to happen with nonobvious.
Well, let's see. The first issue was user error. The second issue is a
matter of mirroring and timing, and the third issue... well, that's really
the only issue.
I'm currently building a new firewall/ruter using 9.2 and I'm starting
to question myself should i do it with 9.2.
I can't afford such stupid things to happen on a central firewall in my
network.
Well, the obvious response here is to check the hands behind the keyboard.
=) That would have solved your first problem and, really, is the only one
that would affect your firewall/ruter.
Now how do you think this looks in the eyes of a desktop user ?
It shoes that Mandrake is really unprofessional.
It's no wonder that people look at me weird when a say that i use
Mandrake for all of my servers.
Maybe I should try some other distribution but since i have been using
Mandrake since 7.0 or so it would be really sad.
Just my 0.2 $.
Not even bothering to respond to the rest.
