Not Geeky Enough

i really thought i had foobar'd the system last time i tried to update and couldnt figure out what was happening,well i got something really weird going the last two times i tried updating.i got signature key errors and onother error that told me nothing except it didnt update because of needing some RPM that it was d/l ing at the same time.
the last time i finally updated one at a time and everything went fine but this time i wanted to try to solve what was going on.
i keep thinking i am doomed on this mdk 10.0 and 2.6.3 kernel because i never had these issues before.
anyway lots of talking led to a key word with someone that hangs with me on irc a lot
they connected the 2
RAM is the keyword.
i have major RAM issues which i already knew.
but i never connected it to update problems.
but when i mentioned this was only happening with updates that had to d/l a bunch at one time he said "Br3n dont you have RAM problems too?"
bells and whistles.
sigh
hopefully i will be able to get more RAM in a few weeks.and that should solve lots of problems that i seem to be having.
i know the kernel needs updating but so far it just didnt seem critical as of yet.
i have no other users except my daughter on my box so the vuln doesnt effect me from what i read?
moral is I am NOT a GEEK yet!!
just a wannabe Geek!!

Is the RAM problem that it's defective? Or merely that you don't have enough? If it's defective, then you need to replace it, not just add more. If the only problem is that you don't have enough, then you could perhaps miticate this by setting up (or increasing) your swap space.

i have just spent over 9 hours d/l updates to this box.
sigh.
if i disappear it is because i have updated and messed it up so bad i may never solve all the errors.
although so far i only saw a few renaming to such and such with rpmnew on the end because of no dir.
so far all the apps i use work except kontact.
havent tried it yet.too many things open right now to add that too.
just an FYI.

This used to be a spambot post that is flooding the site. Due to volume, I had to resort to this while I work to block access by these bots. My apologies - thanks for your patience.
