Hey, Three minor problems due to updates -- one in an attempt to install a scanner driver & the others due to MandrakeUpdate: 1. I'd installed various binaries & rpms trying to get a scanner driver installled to no avail. Now I get some libc errors when opening images. The images open, but it's annoying to have the errors. 2. Updated cups last night via MandrakeUpdate. Now the printer won't work. I try to get to the settings for the printer, & I'm prompted for CD 1, it installs the original kups files, but the printer still won't work. I get this: a) Reading CUPS drivers database... b) The box goes away but I still get a timer on DrakConf with this: chroot: cannot execute /usr/bin/poll_ppd_base: No such file or directory unable to connect to cups server at /usr/lib/libDrakX/printer.pm line 384. Sat Feb 10 08:02:31 2001 Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library at /usr/lib/libDrakX/my_gtk.pm line 178. Clicking Add does much the same as attempting to open the printer already configured. And, naturally, if I try to print, I get either (depending upon the command used by whichever app) lp (or lpr) command not found. 3. And this only since this morning (I suspect it's due to my having opened Konqeror in hopes of opening a page Netscape displayed badly but there was java & Konqueror won't do java): kdecore (KLibLoader): Factory still has object 0x80f7c20 kurisearchfilter kdecore (KLibLoader): ... deleting the factory 0x80fc580 kdecore (KLibLoader): Deleting KLibFactory 0x80fc580 kdecore (KLibLoader): add pending close 0x80d3f28 kdecore (KLibLoader): try to dlclose 0x80adb48: not yet. kdecore (KLibLoader): Deleting KLibrary 0x80f7188 libkuriikwsfilter kdecore (KLibLoader): Factory still has object 0x808e490 kuriikwsfilter kdecore (KLibLoader): ... deleting the factory 0x80e8f88 kdecore (KLibLoader): Deleting KLibFactory 0x80e8f88 kdecore (KLibLoader): add pending close 0x80adb48 kdecore (KLibLoader): try to dlclose 0x80adb48: yes, done. kdecore (KLibLoader): try to dlclose 0x80d3f28: yes, done. kdecore (KLibLoader): try to dlclose 0x80c4ac8: not yet. kdecore (KLibLoader): Deleting KLibrary 0x80e24a8 libkshorturifilter kdecore (KLibLoader): Factory still has object 0x81034f0 kshorturifilter kdecore (KLibLoader): ... deleting the factory 0x80e06c0 kdecore (KLibLoader): Deleting KLibFactory 0x80e06c0 kdecore (KLibLoader): add pending close 0x80c4ac8 kdecore (KLibLoader): try to dlclose 0x80c4ac8: yes, done I suspect all I need do is remove the libc files & kde libs & reinstall from CD, but is there maybe another -- better -- alternative?
