Bruno Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hi RakemupCould you give this command ( as root ): # urpmi.update -a --wget && urmpi --auto-select --wget In the end you will get a list ( or only a few ) packages with a question "Y/N" . . . Say N there for the moment but please post what you see on the screen here on the forum ( last 20 lines ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Okay that looks good up to now . . . now we take the next step, do the command again and this time say Y . . . . . it will either start downloading /installing . . . or first give a message that something eles has to be removed Y/N before it can proceed: in that case say N ( not yet remove and post again. If ( 3rd option ) it starts downloading installing and it gives an error message in the end I want to see why and what the conflicting package is.So little baby steps, just to be careful and have it all documented on the forum ( we have packages and version numbers to restore what might go wrong ) But we should be able to solve this . . probably we will have do download and rpm somewhere and install it manually before we can do the updates you listed above . . we only have to know exactly wich rpm. The same tactics I often have to apply on my cooker install and it always turns out okay ( FYI: On my install all the packages you listed are installed ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Now please do # rpm -q fglrx So we are sure about that package . . . . . I think you will not need that one . . . What kind of graphic card do you have ? Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 An ATI card . . .we have a problem . . . . . . . and do you use the ATI 3D drivers ???See the fglrx-4.3.0-3.11.1 is related to the ATI card . . . if we remove it you will have no 3D accelleration and it will just behave like a "normal" graphic card . . . . The only way to update the XFree packages is to remove the fglrx-4.3.0-3.11.1 first . . . but there is no way to reinstall the fglrx after that. . . . . We can however remove the fglrx . . . wait with the updates . . see how you like it without fglrx . . . . . and if you like it we do the updates . . If however you do NOT like it we re-install the fglrx-4.3.0-3.11.1 and forget about the updates . . . You decide . . . Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Wait another minute . . . . I see Thacs has updated ATI kernels . . we might be able to work out a trick . . . Add the following source: urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/10.0/RPMS with hdlist.cz Ahnd then try to run the update command again and see if it picks up the new needed fglrx . . . . .

rakemup Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 let's remove itI'm thinking that 3D acceleration only comes into play when playing games like Quake -- which I never play. I do run dual monitors and occasionally run a TV program --- but these do not use 3D. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Before we remove it I do have another question though . . . . is this a download edition or a pre-pack ( bought ) version of Mandrake 10 ? Because the download does not have the "real" ATI drivers but generic ones . . . . also I would like to know if it is the download version: did you get the ATI-kernel ( same number as default ) from the Thacs site installed ( that one has the "real" ATI-drivers.See, we do not want to loose X just for the few days that are left till the new 10.1 version comes on the mirrors . . and the 10.1 no longer makes use of XFree but made the switch to Xorg ( where these problems no longer exist ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi RakemupYou know what ? . . Let's go for it . . . according to the info I get from other ATI users you can do without fglrxSo here is the plan: open The MCC Softwaremanagement --> Remove ==> fglrx ! . . And then do the updates ( Just the way you want them to do, in the MCC or on the commandline like we did yesterday with "urpmi.update -a --wget && urmpi --auto-select --wget" )After that reboot . . and start singing out loud crossing your fingers . . . . . . . . . ( . . . . now imagine disaster strikes and you do not have X but you get a prompt in a text console: log in as "root" ( not "su" ) and type XFdrake ( capital X and F, the rest in small characters ) . . and you get a tool to reconfigure X . . after that reboot and start singing again . . . louder ! . . . )Go for it ! . . . Don worry . . . I am right here ! :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 You can always add fglrx in afterwards. I don' thave it running right now in the distro I am in and everything is fine. Gears runs a little slow is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakemup Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 I did remove fglrx --- and everything is fine after using XFdrake. I now have all of the updates installed -- and feel much better fyi -- I do use a downloaded 10.0 --- but I'm gonna splurge for the powerpack soon. That way maybe I can answer some of my own questions. THANKS AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Wait for the next release. I think you will be fine to add the fglrx back in. It seems to me I had to do something like that once but it is great in Mandrake now. There was a time about 3 or 4 months ago when fglrx seemed to break every distro but that appears to be fixed at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Glad all went well Rakemup !!! Hurray !!( I asked about the boxed version because then you would have the official ATI-drivers, those are not "free software" and thus not included in the download edition . . . however you can always download a few weeks after the release from Thacs . . . . . So: In the case you would have the official drivers we had to make sure we could get a replacement ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
