Not sure where you have been, as this problem is being talked about all over the place, but all you have to do is run 'update-menus -v' as root and that should fix the menu problem. I'm surprised you are running into a screesaver issue if you have applied all the updates, since the new kde packages supposedly fixed that problem. Are you sure you have kdeartwork installed.

Hi guys, Just curious.. Is there an updates iso made anywere?? seems like that would be handy, and could even be automated.. I'm currently downloading all the updates in the mdk9 updates directory on FTP.. so I can update all my machines completely without having to do each one.. Incidently, does anyone know of a way to stop MandrakeUpdate deleting the files in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms That would be handy, then I could just grab all the packages and burn them to CD... rgds Franki Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Updates with non-mdk packages - e.g. snort
Hello - all experts: What is your recommended/preferred/used methodology for upgrading previously installed mdk packages, with latest non-mdk rpms or even tar balls, with minimal or no effect on existing conifguration and workings? Example: I have 1.8.7 snort, pre-installed from the mdk packaging, as snort-mysql-1.8.7-..., with its own set of rules and acid for interface. Having tried to update the rules, I found out that 1.8.7 rules haven't been updated in a while, and 1.9.0 are the only ones being actively worked on, they won't work with the 1.8.7 binaries, and I have already setup acid, mysql and snort to work with each other under 1.8.7. I would hate to have to redo evrything from scratch (including re-compiling from source, and reconfiguring the snort-mysql-acid combo), if it would be an easier way/path for upgrade(s).

Pretty much any mirror... take a look at

Updates will typically be in a Mandrake/updates/[version]/{RPMS,SRPMS}
directory on the FTP mirrors.

You've got a bad mirror. I looked at ftp.stealth.net the other day
and the updates there are quite old... it hasn't been updated in quite
a while. Find a better mirror. =) MU works fine.

[expert] Updates (Descent Config utils in Mandrake 8.0 PLEASE!)
I have just read some stuff about MandrakeSoft making new ISO's with all the security fixes etc.. I don't think this is what we need. Ok, it is good if you release some "Updates" CD's for the people that don't have fast connections, but many of us just stick to updates. What we need is (like many have said) good MandrakeUpdate. The one that is in use now in almost at NO use for server installs. I don't have X on many servers, so I can't use MandrakeUpdate and other config tools (since all are X library dependant, even if they have text versions). What we need is a good text mode update system, that could be run from console too. There I would be given an option what I can upgrade and that is it! But don't make it so like MandrakeUpdate is...If there are 3 versions of same update I see all of them...I think we are interested in LATEST one not in older too... This is just my 2 cents...
[expert] Updates
On MandrakeUser it says, "You can keep your Mandrake-Linux distribution
up to date by using the 'MandrakeUpdate' program installed on your box."
But I find no evidence of such a utility on 7.0.2...
Also, anyone know how to change the size of the KDE system font? (in
menus, etc) In Gnome you put this in ~/.gtkrc:
style "icon" {
font="blahblahblah font here"
}

Trying to burn Mandrake-6.0 CD and having a previous experience with RedHat 4.1 - 5.1, I downloaded the 6.0 tree and updates and then "cleverly" replaced the packages from Manrdake/RPMS with updated packages. Thought the disk will be "better than original". You know what happened then ;-) I've got a disk and tried to install, but the names of packages appeared to be hard-coded as a whole, the installation allowed me to choose packages, formatted partitions and then failed to find the kernel, lilo, initscripts etc. Linux went from the comp. So, I think it's maybe better to scan available packages before and choose existing ones for installation. Attempting to regenerate the hdlist may not even be possible in install stages, due to being on a cdrom. Also, the installator checks the available space, which is nice. Are the sizes hardcoded too? My next step would be to move Mandake/ tree to windows partition, change the names to 'before-upgrading' ones and try to install from that partition, but usually updated packages are bigger. Redards, Tima. You'll need a working linux system to modify the packages, cd to the root of the soon tobe cd and exec misc/src/install/genhdlist ./ to get your updated packages into the hdlist
