I already did that...still dont work

Chaosbringer · 12-12-2005, 07:02 AM

btw, this is the error i get now

Code:

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

that is when i type ./configure to install a new prog(such as ksmoothbar)

And the solution is already in my first post.

Code:

[root@localhost chaosbringer]# urpmi libkdecore4-devel
One of the following packages is needed:
 1- libportaudio18_1-18.1-3thac.i586 : An audio I/O library. (to install)
 2- libportaudio18_1-devel-18.1-3thac.i586 : An audio I/O library. (to install)
What is your choice? (1-2) 1
Some package requested cannot be installed:
libkdecore4-3.3.2-124.2.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied menu-xdg[>= 0.6-5mdk])
libkdecore4-devel-3.3.2-124.2.102mdk.i586 (due to missing libkdecore4-3.3.2-124.2.102mdk.i586)

reddazz · 12-12-2005, 10:31 AM

Maybe this problem is happening because you mixed official Mandriva sources and Thacs.

Chaosbringer · 12-12-2005, 10:38 AM

should i take out thacs?

i am never able to upgrade the kde 3.2 to anything

Chaosbringer · 12-12-2005, 10:40 AM

now that i took out thacs 10 i get this

Code:

Some package requested cannot be installed:
libkdecore4-3.3.2-124.2.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied menu-xdg[>= 0.6-5mdk])
libkdecore4-devel-3.3.2-124.2.102mdk.i586 (due to missing libkdecore4-3.3.2-124.2.102mdk.i586)
Continue? (Y/n)

I went to the site and dled the menu-xdg but they are for 10.2 and they wont work...

tkedwards · 12-12-2005, 04:39 PM

No wonder you're having problems - you've got an update source for 10.2 in your urpmi config yet you have 10.1 for everything else

. The reason you can't install menu-xdg is that it is not in Mandrake 10.1. What is probably happening is that since you have the 10.2 update source setup, which undoubtedly has KDE packages in it since there were lots of KDE updates in 10.2, when you try to install any KDE packages it is automatically pulling in the 10.2 pacakges from the update source. urpmi is smart enough to automatically install the latest updated version of packages but not smart enough to fix your mistakes about which sources you should have!

So either upgrade to 10.2 (preferably by doing a full reinstall) or stay on 10.1 but change the update source to that for 10.1. If you stay with 10.1 check what versions of the KDE packages (eg. kdebase) you have - is it still 3.2.3? Anything higher (its 3.3.2 in 10.2) and you've probably got some of the 10.2 KDE packages installed. You can downgrade them by doing an rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps on the equivalent KDE packages from 10.1.

how do i know which rpms i installed already are for mandrake 10.2?

also what command do i run in the terminal to fix this mess i got my self in?

thank you!

Chaosbringer · 12-13-2005, 01:35 PM

hmmmm
im gonna upgrade to 10.2
....i think...lets see how that goes.

tkedwards · 12-13-2005, 03:54 PM

To see what RPMs are installed in using the GUI go menu->System->Configuration->Packaging->Remove Software
From the command line run

Code:

rpm -qa

Chaosbringer · 12-14-2005, 10:01 AM

hmmm, when i installed the mandrake 10.x on my comp something wierd happen, instead of a gui i get a konsole

how can i make it have a gui? i think it said something like

could not start 'x' or something like that...im on my windows hdd but i hate it and want to go back to linux again...im dling the mandriva linux 2006-free- iso's for i586...

aparently i cant get the official version..only the free one

well, either way, im going to install that and hope for the best once again.

Have a look at the troubleshooting section of the docs:
http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/Mandrak...ubleshooting-x

Otherwise post this as a seperate thread here otherwise you won't get enough people looking at it.

The free version is the 'official' version. Once you've setup the repositories at easyurpmi you have all the software (and more actually) than comes with the boxed-set or club versions. The only stuff you don't have is the packages of closed source stuff (Nvidia, Java, Flash etc.) that comes with the pay-for versions.

Chaosbringer · 12-14-2005, 04:11 PM

that is so cool

there is one prob i am having tho its burning the iso's i have wasted around 10 cd's trying to get this right, nero keeps giving me errors

either way, thanks a bunch.(if i have any probs ill start a new topic

)
