Beta1 - Nice update on an old Laptop

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

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.

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_musicStarted 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
