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? - tk ----- Original Message ----- From: Anders Johansson To: Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2001 1:28 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] HELP!HELP!

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?

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.
