No software update etc in Mageia Control Centre

Postby sdrambo » Sep 1st, '11, 05:23

I noticed that while the DVD was installing some packages could not be installed. Aooarently they were important for the update function in MCC. How do I get repair manually. I tried updating the installation to no avail. Thanks

How did you notice that some packages couldn't be installed during installation?
And what DVD did you use? Have you checked it burned correctly by comparing the md5sum?

You should setup a complete set of software repositories and then do an update. This should do it:
Code: Select all
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist
urpmi --auto-select --test


Please post the output of the second command.
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
