Greetings ! I am trying to update my Mandriva 2007.0 to Mandriva 2007.1. I am using "Mandriva Linux Control Center" / "Software Management". When I start it has selected "Security Updates" and I thought that would be a reasonable start. It then displays groups of programs in a list. My issue is this: Should I have to collapse each group and subgroup and check every single component for update ??? I mean there are *many*.... Isn't there a way to choose "All" and then hit 'Apply'? Is there a commandline thingy to update from 2007.0 to 2007.1? (and no urpmi isn't there, it says "unkown command") Best Regards, Genin
I think so... Are you logged in as root? Then there should be urpmi. What's the output of Code: which urpmi ? BTW, this script in chapter 7 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_mandriva_2007_p4 might just be what you need.
Wooohooo I forgot that root has diffrent settings.... I SU:ed from my user and then urpmi was found ! I the ran the follwing from a console: Code: urpmi.update -a; urpmi --update --auto-select --auto It then flooded the console with updates! Some 50 of them. After that I went into Packagemanager again and almost all from "All Updates" where gone. I checked the rest manually and let the packagemanager update those. Then it said there was no packages to update and it was empty.(list) Howevere when I rebooted it still says Mandriva 2007.0 and not 2007.1 Uhh why is that? My network is functioning but I dont understand that first bit about etc/hosts ? Thanks again for the help !!! It is *much* appriciated /Genin
Ahhhhhh I think it was the "p4" at the end that stole my focus Thanks ! I have shifted distribution again.....and now have a Fedora Core 6 that I am pretty happy with
