Also, glance at your > .xsession-errors file in your home directory. Post both. Hello again. I have been trying to run MandrakeUpdate from a terminal window. I never get any message to indicate a problem. As for .xsession-errors, the last entries, after trying MandrakeUpdate twice in a row and then looking are: KDE detected X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 14 KDE detected X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 14 I ASSUME these relate to MandrakeUpdate though I cannot be sure. There is nothing explicitly indicating this anywhere in the file. There is never anything in /var/log/messages either. praedor -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain
