Using drakxtools 1.1.5-47
Trying to use the bootdisk creator - I cannot create a bootdisk now.
It
appears to try to write the kernel and image files before it has even
finished formatting the disk - then it says failed.
There is no prompt to put a disk or warning about wiping a disk it
just
starts writing to the disk. If no disk is in the drive at the time it
hangs and then there is a blank page - which leads to a partial X
server
crash when exiting(you already know about this bug).
Reinforcing menu bug mentioned elsewhere - menu editor is not embedded
so
drakconf thinks it has crashed.
Hardware -> Display configuration with SiS6326AGP card comes up with
nothing - blank page which then crashes X when you exit
Boot Config shows a picture of Aurora when you choose to disable
Aurora
and shows a text bootup when you choose to enable Aurora (ie the
sample
picture is backwards). I still cannot configure Aurora using this tool
either.
Internet and network configuration shows my eth0 connection not
connected
(even though it is).
I don't know where the problem occurred with rpmdrake and my install
(it
was a 7.2->beta1 install) but it has never worked. Neither does urpmi.
launched from a console rpmdrake says:
/home/conman/.gtkrc:1: error: unexpected identifier `lication',
expected
keyword - e.g. `style'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
urpmi xtraceroute (for example) gives me:
malformed input: [/Mandrake/RPMS/traceroute-1.4a5-14mdk.i586.rpm]
malformed input: [/Mandrake/RPMS/xtraceroute-0.8.14-20mdk.i586.rpm]
I initially installed from my harddisk using a bootdisk. Could this
have
started the problem?
Phew.. nothing's ever simple!
