Hello to everyone.
I have a problem difficult to state, that is why, if the answer already exists
out there, i didn't manage to find it. I will try to describe shortly: it
seems that, after installing RPM packages (in Mandrake 9.2), sometimes
(randomly), there are undesirable side effects. Examples:
- after installing some packages (i don't remember which ones) i lost the
icons of the Mandrake menus, and some other modules got lost, so KDE didn't
work properly (for example, KDE key shortcuts didn't work the way i had
defined). All these problems disappeared after installing EasyTag with RPM's.
- after installing drivers of ALSA, i got Emacs starting with a delay that was
way longer than tolerable. Emacs worked fine, at the usual speed, but it took
several seconds (up to around one minute sometimes) for its window to appear.
This problem disappeared upon unknown solution (unknown to me, of course)
- finally, today i installed NTP package (contained in 9.2 distro CDs), and
after that, i found arrow keys redefined in Emacs, so that they deactivate
the mark, what is really annoying. I think i can solve it, but it beats the
hell out of me how did it come.
Maybe installing packages have nothing at all to do with those problems, but
it is the only event that i can put in connection with them.
Thanks for the brain cells that you will burn with this :-)
