RE: [newbie] Updating
I've had the same problem as well. But today for some reason the Find archive list worked and I am able to update a couple of packages at a time. I have found that it does quit for some unknown reason. It has been my experience that if the path settings aren't exactly as it expects it just drops that source from the list. Not sure why...or how to fix it. If I find something more I'll let you know. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Peter Watson Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 5:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Updating On Tuesday 04 September 2001 4:35 pm, Scott Thurmond wrote: I have LM 8.0 installed and everything is working beautifully.

I tried several of the FTP URLs but each time the software manager finishes looking at the site, I open the defined sources and the list is gone. It never retains the sources I put in there. For example, one of the sources I defined was this one: ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/ftp.sunet.se/Mandrake/8.0/i586/ What am I missing?

[newbie] Software Manager(rpmdrake) frustrations
Hi All, Could someone tell me why I can't add a new source for rpms and get it to actually work? Every time I add new one the software manager doesn't appear to look at the new source. I have had absolutely no luck adding an ftp location. The Security update part doesn't work either. Nothing is found when updating the list of mirrors and manually typing the location is useless as well. TIA Bryan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] bash1 sh and stuff problem
I might be wrong but I don't think you are have a problem with bash. I think your problem is Java related. For LimeWire to work you must have a Java VM installed. There are packages available for a jdk. That should fix your problem HTH Bryan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Isaac Curtis Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 2:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] bash1 sh and stuff problem antoine rivoire wrote: hi all, i ran into this prob when trying to install limwire. i lokked at akll the prevous messages, and followed the instructions. when typing sh runlime.sh i got that message back: runlime.sh: java: command not found ilooked for a while and it occured to me that java and sh commands are related somehow to the bash1-1.14.7-26mdk.i586.rpm package (maybe i am wrong?) here is what i got when lokkig to install it: root@ libgtk]# rpm -Uvh --test bash1*.rpm [root@ libgtk]# rpm -Uvh bash1*.rpm bash1 ## install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/bash1.bz2 execution of bash1-1.14.7-26mdk script failed, exit status 1 [root@ libgtk]# rpm -Uvh -f bash1*.rpm rpm: unexpected query source [root@ libgtk]# rpm -q bash1*.rpm package bash1-1.14.7-26mdk.i586.rpm is not installed [root@ libgtk]# rpm -Uvh --test bash1*.rpm package bash1-1.14.7-26mdk is already installed [root@ libgtk]# rpm -q bash1*.rpm package bash1-1.14.7-26mdk.i586.rpm is not installed [root@ libgtk]# rpm -Uvh --force bash1*.rpm bash1 ## install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/bash1.bz2 execution of bash1-1.14.7-26mdk script failed, exit status 1[ odd, i thought, so i am asking anybody out there who can to help me ps i have j2sdk-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin installed cheers Antoine, I have had the exact same problem.

RE: [newbie] bash1 sh and stuff problem
My bad on the previous post...you do have the jdk installed. In which case runlime.sh can't find java in the paths it has access to. Adding the path to where the jdk's location to your PATH environment variable should do the trick. Sorry, I can't give you the command. I'm new to the Linux world.

[newbie] Installing a Diamond FireGL1 video adapter
Hi all, I'm trying to install a Diamond FireGL1 video adapter but I keep running into an error during the Install.sh script. The error is something about strings command not supported. It appears this is the offending line: tmp=`strings $LibcPath | grep -i 'c library'`. Any Ideas? Thanks Bryan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com
