Beta1 - Nice update on an old Laptop

[Lebarhon]

Hello,

I updated a Mandriva 2010.2 with Mageia Beta 1, everything is working fine, however, I have some remarks :
- I chose the French language and the text of the license was in English
- There was no proprietary driver for the graphic card (NVidia GeForce FX 5200), the Geforce FX series didn't work. I have to use the "nouveau" driver which only supports basic features.
- I am not fluent with the command line but, since in the wiki test page it is asked to install the nonfree repository with the command :

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia nonfree $PROTOCOL://your-favorite-mirror/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/$ARCH/media/nonfree

I tried the command :

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia nonfree ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/nonfree

it didn't work.

curl failed : exit with 9
no metadata found for the media "nonfree"

I used the MCC.
Thank you for Hugin

The answer is simple, the path you used is not valid

Here is the good one :

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia nonfree ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/nonfree

Thank you for your help, the path given in the wiki is wrong !
I will try this one.

[stormi]

Can you point me to the page where the error is ?

hello,
It's the same problem :

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi.addmedia nonfree ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pu ... ia/nonfree
ajout du média « nonfree »
... échec de la récupération : curl a échoué : sortie avec 9

pas de métadonnées trouvées pour le média « nonfree »
[root@localhost ~]#

the same error message than above.

The error is here : http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=qa_install#what_do_i_have_to_check line 6-1-b

[stormi]

Sorry, my mistake.

Here is one that works

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia nonfree ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/nonfree/release

The error is here : http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=qa_install#what_do_i_have_to_check line 6-1-b

This is not an error, just misunderstanding. The line reads:

Code: Select all

$PROTOCOL://your-favorite-mirror/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/$ARCH/media/nonfree

where "your-favorite-mirror" must include everything in the mirror URL what is before "Mageia/". This is different on each mirror. On MandrivaUser.de the URL is ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/ so the line has to be:

Code: Select all

$PROTOCOL://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/$ARCH/media/nonfree

on distrib-coffee its different, and yet different on another mirror.

@ stormi : Yes, it works fine, thank you

@wobo : Thank you for the explanation, but a mistake is still present at the end, /release is missing.

No, it's not missing anymore, I added it yesterday

Hi,
I am continuing the tests with KDE. I have problems to read .flv. Totem desn't works and crash. Avidemux crashes also. A first error message pop up :
CODEC
Internal error opening CODEC_ID_RAWVIDEO
OK

After the clic on OK :
Avidemux

Crash

Amarok doesn't say anything but doesn't start either. (I must say, whatever I tried with Amarok 2, it always failed !)

Downloaded the following .flv-file from Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZKgzQnf ... None_music

Started Totem and opened the file, no issues.
Started Amarok, opened file: no problem.

Must say, i am at Beta2.


Edit: installed avidemux as well, and no errors opening the aforementioned file.

Under Mandriva 2010.2, this video is OK with Totem, no sound with kmplayer and nothing with Amarok.
Under Mageia1 Beta1 updated to beta2, this video has no sound with avidemux, nothing with Totem and Amarok.

Here is the message from Avidemux
