PCLOS talking about Edu

hi melodie!

installed pclinuxos edu to a flash drive and updated from pclinuxos new repositories
whitout breaking anything... except for pacmanfm (it isn't any longer available in the repos)
so, lost access to file manager and to desktops (water, fire, earth, air).
is there a way to correct this?

thanks

Hi,

I can see the latest pcmanfm in the PCLinuxOS repositories. ie:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.updates

pcmanfm-1.1.2-1pclos2013.i586.rpm

You need to check your sources.list (See here if needed: http://pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php/Choosing_the_Right_Repository )

This should fix your issue. :)

hi melodie!

i've this repo enabled:
 http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2010 main updates nonfree kde games xfce4

and it gives:

pcmanfm:

Package pcmanfm has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list



so, i'm stuck... out of ignorance of what to  do...

melodie:
Hi,

Try these two commands in the console as root:

--- Code: ---rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*
--- Fin du code ---


--- Code: ---rpm --rebuilddb
--- Fin du code ---

Once it gives the prompt back to you, in the same root console do:


--- Code: ---apt-get update
--- Fin du code ---

and


--- Code: ---apt-get install pcmanfm
--- Fin du code ---

Well if you are sure that the distro is fully up to date, of course. If not, after "apt-get update" you can also type "apt-get dist-upgrade" for a full update of the system.

Hopefully it should work. If not you could get the necessary packages directly from the repos, but not having the package manager working normally would be strange.

hi melodie!
after issuing all the commands i get:

"E: Package pcmanfm has no instasllation candidate

and it returns to command prompt.

i don't know how to  get the necessary packages directly from the repos... sorry...

thanks for your help
