I tried installing Mandrake 9.2 RC2 on an IBM Thinkpad T21 already running
Mandrake 9.1. and it did not work. The following problems were observed.
1. During installation, it found my two partitions but could not identify the
legacy mount points (i.e. / and /home) so I had to enter them manually.
2. The install never displayed the upgrade option as it has in the past it
simply went into a normal install mode where packages have to be selected.
3. During the install it displayed "searching for packages" but afterwards it
displayed the normal Mandrake install screen with the normal default boxes
selected (it didn't detect installed packages because I had every package under
every category except Server installed under Mandrake 9.1).
4. After the installation completed and the computer rebooted I was taken to the
logon screen which I logged into and chose KDE but KDE never started. Instead I
received the following error "The following installation problem was detected
while trying to start KDE: No write access to /home/brian/.ICEauthority. KDE is
unable to start". I was then taken back to the logon screen where I logged in
and chose Gnome but Gnome also would not start. Instead I received the following
error "The files that contain your preference settings are in use. You might be
logged in to a session from another computer, and the other logon session is
using your preference settings." When I press the continue button I receive
"Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following problem.
Could not resolve the address "xml:readwrite:/home/brian/.gconf in the
configuration file /etc/gconf/2/path":Couldn't resolve address for configuration
source" Can't read or write to the XML root directory in the address
"xml:readwrite:/home/brian/.gconf."
Thought I would pass this information on. Right now I don't have a working
version of Mandrake 9.2 RC2 on my laptop.
