Newbie cannot find Mandrake Control Center
 

Hi, I just installed the Mandrake 9.1 but I could not find the Mandrake Control Center. According to the manual pages, it states that the MCC should be in 2 places: desktop, and the menu. I cannot locate it in either place.

I don't know if this would have a relevance but when I logged into KDE for the first time the system the hard drive kept going right after the "Initializing Devices"(or similar msg). When this happened for about 35 minutes straight, I reset the system and was finally able to see the KDE desktop. I am theorizing that the reset caused a part of KDE initialization to break down and hence I have no Mandrake icons(or just about anything non-KDE).

So here comes the main question: is there any way to just install the Mandrake Control Center(from rpm perhaps)?

Thanks in advance!

Run drakconf from a terminal.

DrakConf was not installed. Installed using urpmi drakconf

Another forum helped me out on this. Thx for the response.

no prob. so you got it to work then?

Hi Uclafreako

CONFIGURATION
Mandrake Control Centre

Locura - yes, i got it to work.

skyline - maybe i wasn't clear. It wasn't in the configuration or any of the other menus.

I had to install it manually using "urpmi drakconf."

I have the same problem in so much as MCC was installed but dissapeared after installing some software. I have tried a number of suggestions but to no avail. When I go to a terminal window and change to root using su and then put "urpmi drakconf" the response is "urpmi unknown".

Am I entering this correctly or should I be doing something else. I also get the same with "urpme drakconf".

If anyone can assist before I throw in the towel and reinstall (which I would hate to do as its admitting defeat) this newbie would be very grateful.:newbie:

You are a GOD
 

ok about 1/2 the time I boot into Linux all the drake modules are gone. I could not figure out how to get them back. Thank You for:
urpmi drakconf
