is there an undocumented (or documented) specified firefox download directory for cnr to work?


i reinstalled ubuntu Hardy 8.04, and have changed its download directory. when i try to download or install programs from cnr, the file is downloaded but not installed. cnr says the app is alrady installed on this machine.


any suggestions?

Update:

I have checked in the CNR "Manage Software" tab, and Skype is not listed anywhere in the list.


When I ask CNR to reinstall Skype, CNr says it is already installed.


Perplexed here,

OK I looked there and i do not think this is the "answer" but it may help. It shows just 2 apps installed on this partition/reinstall. If deleting the gutsy and mint from their (other) partitions would help, I can do that. Here is the cnr-history.conf file:

So this does not seem to explain the CNR errors for a number of applications that were installed on this PC previously but have never been installed in this fresh install.


Does CNR keep track of all apps installed by a user, or is the tracking linked to the partitiions?


PS


JDoyle I hope your penguins have a great season.

Is there anything in /var/cache/cnr/client/pool ?

That is where the client keeps the downloaded debs

I reformatted my other partitions (no more gutsy or mint) and now CNR works fine. My boot loader still things the other distros are options. one step at a time.


Thanks, again.
