HELP!HELP! Online update chrashed! and now ldpstartproc is loaded!
Hi! I was letting Online Update do some updating when the screen went black and I had to reboot my system. Now when Linux loads it tries to load a service/deamon called ldpsartproc and gets a "cannot find" message for that so it's skipped. How can I get everything back to normal. Is that ldpstartproc usually loaded? If not, how can I remove it? If, how can I restore my old one? And how about the other updates I loaded, do I have to download them again? - tk

Are you sure it's 'ldp' and not 'lpd'? The only abbreviation 'ldp' I've seen is the linux documentation project, and that would make no sense. I think it's a case of a missing newline, the script prints 'lpd' and then, presumably because you don't have lpd installed, you get startproc: file not found, or some such. Unless you were using lpd before the update, it's nothing to worry about. If you find the message annoying, you can always set START_LPD to "no" in /etc/rc.config If my assumptions are wrong, I'm sorry. regards Anders
Yes sorry. Here is the message I get at startup:
Starting lpdstartproc: cannot stat /usr/sbin/lpd: no such file or directory.
Skipped
Ain't lpd some kind of a printing manager? I don't know if lpd was loaded
before the update. But will I still be able to print if I set START_LPD to
'no' ?
If lpd is not a part of the standard install then I don't have it installed
:)
But doesn't the online update only mark updates recommended if you have the
prog installed?

Did you check if you have that file?

I think it is a fair assumption if you have it set to yes now it probably was installed and got messed up because of a failed update to it. I would suggest seeing if there is an update for whichever lp package you were using and try installing the update manually.
If lpd is not a part of the standard install then I don't have it installed :)
I believe it is. We all want to print. ;)

I would assume that. It would only mean it WAS installed. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Am I right to assume that the update failed after the updated RPMs were
downloaded (i.e. FTP connection closed)? And that you powered down when the
packages were being installed? YOU usually shows you what errors occurred
when it was last run.
If you know what you were downloading re-install the packages manually using
YaST1; they're in /var/lib/YaST/update/ or something similar I think.

Yes. The online update had already installed the two first updates I've
downloaded when the
third one made the system crash.
Is lpd needed in normal use? I mean, if it's only for printer-server use,
and I can still print without it,
then I don't need it.

lpd (Line Printer Daemon) will run if START_LPD=yes in /etc/rc.config.
Basically, it manages your local print queues and selects the appropriate
print filter. I think that it the lprold package, which I recently updated
using YOU. The updated patch should be in
/var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/7.2/n1. Use YaST1 to reinstall.
