[newbie] Mandrake Update not possible
After upgrading to Mandrake 9.1 I chosed 'Update Software' and got a list of software that I could update over the network. I selected a few ones but during the update I got messages that some libraries are needed and can't be found (it's a large list). I assumed that all the stuff needed for update should be on the server. I tried it again a few weeks later and than I got the message that the server has no files at all for Mandrake 9.1. Did you experience similar problems? Any hints? -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Prämie sichern!

(I'm assuming you did an upgrade as opposed to a clean install). Try urpmi --updates --auto-select if this doesn't work, make sure that all of your package sources are pointing to 9.1 sources and not 9.0. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 03:47:38 up 15 days, 9:28, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Update not possible
When you upgraded to 9.1 did you delete your old 9.0 update source? That would explain why you had trouble with libraries. You can remove your old source with the source manager GUI in Mandrake control Centre, and you can select a new 9.1 source from http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php Add a source for contrib and plf while you are there:- derek On Thursday 10 Jul 2003 8:43 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After upgrading to Mandrake 9.1 I chosed 'Update Software' and got a list of software that I could update over the network.

I also recomend throwing disk 1 in the CD-ROM before you urpmi anything.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Update not possible
Once the sources are sorted out the first thing you should update is urpmi itself. From the command line urpmi urpmi or use the Software install GUI. derek On Thursday 10 Jul 2003 11:12 am, Michael Adams wrote: I also recomend throwing disk 1 in the CD-ROM before you urpmi anything.

You need to update the sources - so in the Mandrake Control Center, go to Software Management = Software Sources Manager = Update - and you can update the sources; that way, when you actually try to update the system, you're getting the proper listing. You should do this every so often as the update lists change... -- Thu Jul 10 22:35:00 EST 2003 22:35:00 up 4 days, 7 min, 2 users, load average: 0.16, 0.10, 0.09 - |____ |kuhn media australia| | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * The instruments of science do not in themselves discover truth.
