KMail and Kontact will not open. My addressbook is in KMail. I am using Mozilla now, and that is fine, but I need to get into KMail to get my addresses and contact information!
Cannot get into MCC
No screensavers

MCC won't open? Gnome is broken?
That definitely sounds like some problems.
Can you run rpmdrake? Does that do anything?
Because I'm wondering if perl might be borked.
Hi Stephen
How this began is after having Mandrake 10.0 installed for about 6 months I went for my *first* urpmi update and mistakenly chose 10.1 instead of 10.0.
Then I could no longer access Kontact or Kmail.
I then used my 10.0 disks and "upgraded."
I then went to easyurpmi.org and ran everything for 10.0.
got error message:
"unable to take medium "jpackage" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.jpackage] exists"
added medium jpackage
ran:
# urpmi.update -a --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select && rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n && ldconfig -v
still got error message:
"unable to take medium "jpackage" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.jpackage] exists"
urpmi'd the following list (because MCC won't open):
drakbt ok drakclick ok drakconf ok drakconf-themes ok drakconnect ok drakcronat ok drakfax ok drakfirsttime ok drakoo ok drakopt ok drakpxelinux ok draksync ok drakwizard ok drakx-autoinstall-doc ok drakx-finish-install no? drakxtools ok drakxtools-backend ok drakxtools-http ok drakxtools-newt ok drakxtools-ng ok harddrake ok harddrake-ui ok mandrake-doc-common ok mandrake-doc-drakxtools-en failed? mandrake-doc-en ok mandrake-menu-directory ok mandrake-mime ok mandrake_desk ok mandrakegalaxy ok mandrakelinux-kde-config-file failed? mandrakelinux-release ok mandrakelinux-theme ok menudrake ok moneydrake ok packdrake no? park-rpmdrake ok rfbdrake ok rpmdrake ok userdrake ok
drakx-finish-install and packdrake "do not exist," but they do according to google. mandrake-doc-draxtools-en and mandrakelinux-kde-config-file failed because of conflicts.
then I went to eslrahc.com and added that site as a source to urpmi use.
ran:
"urpmi.update -a --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select && rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n && ldconfig -v"
but got stuck on the "which mail program" question you answered previously. that's where I am now.
Yes, rpmdrake downloaded. I haven't tried to run it yet :)
thanks, Julie
