It looks like ROSA is not going for Drakconf (MCC) once the repo above is updated Drakconf has to be removed to make the update go through. :confused

You can reinstall drakconf. Seems seahorse is a dependency and the actual problem. That said the latest update and I'm not booting... hanging up on a netmanager issue! Also seems they are in the process of changing the branding stuff. Think I'll give it a couple days and reinstall!

I will look into and try resolve whatever that might've fscked this up in cooker updates done by others, as well as the networkmanager & virtualbox issue in updates for my beta. :)

Meanwhile you'll find my repo with updates at rsync://proyvind.net/moondrake :)

Seahorse is indeed a problem
While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.
En av pakkene kan ikke installeres:
seahorse-3.6.3-1-mdv2013.0.x86_64 (grunnet utilfredsstilt libgcr-3.so
.1()(64bit))

But I did get drakconf back - thanks Woodguy

And I am not able to reach or sync that repo....

I amused myself with removing the auto orphans and that did remove my sudo too, so I guess that is not the first thing to try. :-D
After having started the dhcpcd manually once; the net is up every time I boot. So this thing is working OK here.

Well, I reinstalled the latest Moondrake, added OMA cooker repos, updated 600+ packages, reinstalled drakconf with --allow-force, now low and behold, I have a mostly working OpenRosaMoonDriva!

It appears Moondrake and OpenMandriva are drifting farther and farther apart. The mix of package versions from the cooker repos is wild! Hence OpenRosaMoonDriva!

I am at it with Openbox again:
For those who want to bind gmrun to ALT+F2 this will work in OpenRosaMoondrakeMandriva:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/ ... x86_64.rpm
Bind it in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml with:

Code: Select all

<keybind key="A-F2">
    <action name="execute"><execute>gmrun</execute></action>
</keybind>

Instructions on openbox: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2251&p=13708&hilit=gmrun#p13708

And maybe some guru will put it in the repos?

And Cairo-dock is completly wrong. When you start it the control-panel is fired instead of the dock itself! (Might be X related).

For those interested, I'm in the process of uploading a i586 dvd iso to same location as the other.

It's untested, but I *think* it should work quite well. :)

Well I don't think that I have any hardware that requires i586 so it makes sense to concentrate on 64 bit. I do think that Linux should stay good at reviving old hardware though so 32bit does (still) make sense.
