First of all, hi all conectiva users!

I discover this distro just for case!

I have a little question, hoping you can help me!

Wich is the updated source for apt?

i was using ftp.nl.org, but i saw that it is not updated since a year!!!!

Actualizacoes is so slowly and doesn't work for a check!

So any suggest? There's a chance to see gnome2 on my conectiva linux?

Tnx of all!

hi there Viceversa

this are the ones that i use:

rpm ftp://ftp.nl.linux.org/pub/conectiva 8/conectiva main extra kde gnome games

rpm ftp://ftp.nl.linux.org/pub/conectiva/atualizacoes 8/conectiva updates

just look for them on your /etc/apt/sources.list file and remove the # symbol in front of them

then, make sure that the rest of the lines in that file begin with a #

about updates: the last update that i have notice of, took place on 2003-03-03 19:30:00 and was a fix for a remote vulnerability found on the sendmail package.

if you'd like to be e-mailed every time that a new update is made available, you could subscribe to Conectiva's updates mailing list. Just send an empy e-mail to atualizacoes-anuncio-subscribe@papal...nectiva.com.br

by the way , where are you from?

see ya

hi! tnx for your answer! i'll check it, but i think i used it!

Anyway yesterday i add a line form one post in this forum, then

apt-get clen
apt-get update

now i have xfree86 4.3.0!

but got caught signal 11: server aborted!

Hi Viceversa,

The version you are using is from the snapshot version, try to install from the updated version (usually recognized in names by U80) the last update is:

XFree86-4.2.0-21U80_2cl.i386.rpm

Other repositories can be found in this thread :

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=33643

hope that helps ...

so you think that problem is the new xfree?

i can start x now, but only the simplest mode!

grey windows and in the upper left corner a shell! if i write starkde i say that couldn't not localize kdeinit!

with synaptic it says me i have broken dependecies, and it suggest to correct them! But it will remove 13 essential package! (apt too!) and 54x other package!

it s a good idea to install conectiva again with minimal (s.o only) and than use snapnshot to upgrade and install packages?

If you want to instal from snapshot it's a good idea, the oficial snapshot is already frozen because of the release of cl9, so if you install all packages, probably will be stable. But if you install only some packages, its possible that you have some problems ...

so you are saying i have to do as ia say?

Yes, will be a faster way to solve your problem. But if you wait just a little more will be released an oficial version of CL9, that will contatin an intaller to made that installation easier ...

and how much i have to wait?

why conectiva has no update for 8?

Actually the prevision is to 23/04 ...

It has several updates, like the one I posted earlier, if you didn't notice, and was released too the versions CL8+ and CL8++, that was in editions of "Revista do Linux" magazine ...

sorry, i don't see repositoru to add...

can you write me the line to add?

I have a repository updated, but if i write

apt-get install task-gnome it cannot install for some errors!

why? it is because repository is not good?

ftp.unicamp.br/snapshot this one!

add this

rpm ftp://ftp.nl.linux.org/pub/conectiva snapshot/conectiva main extra games devel gnome kde doctools wmaker database audio cross experimental obsoleted orphan printer

saludos

tnx a lot!

all my problems with conectiva are now solved!
