kamicota Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 BOY Julia you LOVE throwing CURVE Balls at me How do I UPDATE MENUS Colin Quote
teacher Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 I have to think since I am at work and have no Linux. You can try update-menus from the command prompt or go into your commands for Yast and look around for it.Julia Quote
kamicota Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 No success in finding commands to update menus, update_menus, update_ start applicationsOh well the plot thickens on the Suse 8.2 trail just "Gimping" along aren't we Colin Quote
quint Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Colin,First off - YAST does not like my system...at all!!! I do all updates, etc., from the "konsole"; which is why I put the process in the "Quote"...(thanks Tranquilo, for informing). Julia's advice to use "YAST" is the best course...but I don't understand why you had a problem. I had "Gimp 1.2.3" installed, used the konsole to install (update) it to "Gimp 1.3.19"...took mere seconds, and it also automatically "updates the menu", for the "Gimp" selection...couldn't be easier. BTW, I also had a "Gimp 1.2.3" icon on the taskbar, and it, too, opens the new version. HTH's somehow. Quote
kamicota Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 HTH thankx What commands do I put in the console to update to 1.3 etcColin Quote
quint Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 HTH thankx What commands do I put in the console to update to 1.3 etcColinColin, The explanation of what I did is in Tranquilo's post:The quote is quint successfully upgrading the gimp from a console.From the rpm man page, these are the three options used:rpm {-U|--upgrade} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...This upgrades or installs the package currently installedto a newer version. This is the same as install, exceptall other version(s) of the package are removed after thenew package is installed.-v Print verbose information - normally routineprogress messages will be displayed.-h, --hashPrint 50 hash marks as the package archive isunpacked. Use with -v|--verbose for a nicer dis-play.hthtranquiloGood fortune...try Julia's advice first. Quote

kamicota Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 As Far as I know QuintI installed it with the Suse 8.2 install BUT OOPS may have erased it with the conflict when I was upgrading to Gimp 1.2.5 Guess I'm at a Stalemate againColin Quote
quint Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Perhaps you can try "re-installing" it? If it's already installed, YAST or konsole will let you know. Quote

tranquilo Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 A simple way to check what you have installed is:rpm -qa | grep some_filename_hererpm -qa | grep libgimprpm -qa | grep gimprpm -qa | grep saneOf course, I suppose you could use YAST but I know nothing about it since I am not a suse user... ;)hthtranquilo Quote
kamicota Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 I GIVE up I THINKSomewhere in all this there is a bigger lesson for me to swallow the pride and just play with what I HAVE installed and probably go back in the posts find what it is that was deleted & see if they can be restored or something along those lines :'( Quint Tranquillo I have had another exciting ride into the linux Console Colin Quote
