eror
 
eror:
msconfig
No such file or directory

msconfig is a Microsoft program for Windows 98, not Linux. No wonder it won't work; :rolleyes:

If you try sndconfig and get this:
Code:

bash: sndconfig: command not found
That means that it isn't installed yet.

sndconfig wont work .
same eror :(

sndconfig isn't installed by default, so before you can use it, you must install it. Have you done so?

rpmfind

Download and install it.

I dotnload sndconfig-0.70-2.i386.rpm and for some reason it wont install

Alf829 07-28-2003 08:10 AM

Hi Born^Dead,

Did you use rpm -Uvh sndconfig-0.70-2.i386.rpm to install it?

Also, were you the root user when you did that? The root user is like the administrator in windows systems.

Hope this helps.

Born^Dead 07-28-2003 08:13 AM

when i use my root acount it wont work at all .
but with my user account it eror :
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
