Sign of life

[Wolfgang Scheffner]

Hi Simon,

thanks for your help! Unfortunately there was no success. The apt-file
search command returns nothing. Two times the I tried the apt-get
install and got an offer to have something done I didn't understand
answered with "J". for a while hell broke loose in the terminal but
afterwards I still got no result with apt_file search. I started the
automatic update again and got a similar error message. I modified the
apt_file search command accordingly but still got no result.

I'm at the end of my wisdom (there is not much wisdom anyway) but just
to keep me from getting bored another problem popped up to which I like
to ask Gilles.

Hi Gilles,

a few weeks ago I installed Mageia 6 on an old laptop because wanted to
check out whether it's really an alternative to replace Kubuntu which I
have more and more trouble with. After a few weeks of playing with it
and installing first programs I did a system update. But now I cannot
log in anymore. I always end up in front of the welcome/login screen
with username, password and session. I cannot select a session and after
typing in the password and clicking "Login" nothing happens. Any idea to
that? Or do I have to re-install (perhaps I would like to buy another
laptop anyway because theis one is very old and very, very slow)?

Greetings

Wolfgang
