Following my post http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/index.php?topic=2390.0 , I still have problems with Pisi.

Using the GUI or the terminal, I cannot update. See below. I am obviously connected to the internet, since I can write this.

Any ideas guys?

I see 1.0 RC2 is out. I guess I am going to wait for the release of 1.0 to update, but thanks!

Thanks, that did the trick!
Shame about my cache.... Tant pis.


PhiX, altolboo and Mhmrcs: thank you guys, we can always count on you! You are the guardian angels of the Pardus forum

Hey Phix

plenty of space left, I don't think that is the problem.


I re-booted and still the same problem....

Nope, doesn't work.
I uninstalled to do a fresh install and it does not want to reinstall. I get the same error message.
Hum, not happy......................

I ran pisi through the GUI this evening and three packages are to be updated. One of them is OpenOffice.org.
However, when I click on "Upgrade Packages", a pop up displays an error.
What's wrong? How do I solve that?

I found that the easiest way was to partition the drive.
On one partition you install the system, on another one the /home directories. A third one can be for documents for instance
Like this, if you reinstall the system, your home files will not be touched, since they are not on the same partition.
To do this, use Gparted, but the disks must not be active when you partition, otherwise Gparted cannot work.

Hum, although I do not disagree with the spirit of what you are saying, I do not think that it contravenes any laws. There is no trust or monopole of M$ on webmail, people can decide to vote with their feet and use yahoo mail or gmail if they want.

I think it is a strategic action from M$ which will have little impact since people who use linux (usually) can fiddle with their settings easily and I further doubt that many people who actually use linux want/have a hotmail account.

But you're right, it is pathetic......

I am on an Aspire One, and some others around are on the EEE PC. We have a small screen
This extension makes the menubar go away and gets you a bit more screen space. Just put the icon next to your other navigation icons and you can do without the menubar.

Well, you live in a lovely part of Hampshire!
She lived in Littleton (just North of Winchester) for a while.

I am with PhiX on the new Pardus theme.
Actually, I think the Pardus overall windows theme is not to the standard of the artwork for the icons, so I wish for something a bit more integrated.

Hey!
Joyeux anniversaire!

Great, this is indeed where I was going! 

Can you show us your grub.conf?

Hi Alan
Welcome!
Although I am a frog (please don't hold that against me), I also live in the UK. There seems to be quite a few of us in the forum.
Whereabouts in Hampshire? My girlfriend is from Winchester.
