HI IM NEW :D

[pelinio]

Hi, i want to try PCLINUXOS FULL MONTY but i want to do some questions. Will this i586 arch recognize 4GB RAM? And also how can i install from yum, softwares: wine,winetricks,playonlinux,nvidia drivers......

Welcome to this forum...

After installing you can add the needed packages via Synaptic (not yum  - PCLinuxOS works with apt at the moment, and yes, using rpm-packages)
=> to have the full 4GB available, you need to install one of the .pae kernels (the .pae or even better the .pae.bfs one => just install them via Synaptic, reboot, and give it some time on first boot into the new kernel for building some things  )

Most packages you mentioned are available in Synaptic; nvidia drivers are normally delivered within the Full Monty release
=> you'll see these packages after doing a reload in Synaptic


After all, enjoy your PCLinuxOS installation

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or that some of the repositories
in use are in an inconsistent state at the moment.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mixxx: Depends: libportmidi.so
E: Broken packages

What can i do?

[Just17]

What can i do?

Do not use

Code: [Select]

apt-get upgrade

I would suggest you remove mixx, do a full update and then install mixx 1.9.2-1 from the repository.

Also I strongly suggest you stick to using Synaptic for such operations.

If you had run apt-get dist-upgrade immediately after running apt-get update, it would probably have worked.

Running apt-get upgrade in between borked your install.

Synaptic is a graphical front-end for apt-get, but it saves you from a lot of silly mistakes.

Clicking "Reload" in Synaptic is the same as running "apt-get update".
Clicking "Mark All Upgrades", "Apply", and then "Apply" again is to all practical purposes the same as running "apt-get dist-upgrade".
There's no equivalent of running "apt-get upgrade", as that could break your system.

There's very seldom any benefit from running apt-get directly from the command line.

I remember this mixxx problem in my FM.
indeed, remove mixxx (from within Synaptic) update and install mixxx again.
