Hi, I updated my 8.1 distro with the cooker distro on CD in upgrade mode. Quite all ran fine but some things:
1- I got a message during XFree update signaling an error and since then I can only log as root with kde. If I try to log as user I get a message saying the dcopserver is not started and it can't access the /home/myself/.DCSPServer_localhost file:localdomain_:0 even this file is here. How could I do to correct this ? 2- Before upgrading, I had 2 kernels installed the basic 2.4.8 from mdk 8.1 and a cooker version 2.4.16.3, and lilo pointed to the files instead the symplinks ie: linux2.4.8mdk and linux2.4.16-3mdk, not to the linux symlink, so whatever is done on the symlink, the boot works. The update broke the /boot files and couldn't setup the new entry. I had to boot with the old kernel and hack lilo.conf by hand. 3- When lanching a console, I get a message saying that some fnt is anavailable. 4- The software manager just starts then vanishes after during the lists building. 5- Please avoid the message that there is not enougth space on disk for upgrade mode if one click on the packages families. Just disable the choices. It's a little bit confusing between install and upgrade. In my mind, upgrade is UPGRADE WHAT IS ALREADY INSTALLED not adding some packages. Installing more packages should be available by the software installer. Thanks for help to get all things working. Jean-Marie Fenaille
