Mageia forum

Hi all. This installation of Mageia 8 was installed a week before the official release. It was a release candidate I believe.
So far Mageia says it has no new software to install. I would like to confirm that it is running the full Mageia 8. Any ideas?

You can check what you have in /etc/mageia-release.

You should check what repos you have enabled via

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active --list-url

and if

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update

reports that no packages need to be updated then you have Mageia 8.

There are not much updates released yet, but there are quite few in testing to be released soon.

urpmi --auto-update did the job resulting in many updates - thanks for this.

also a list of my repos - hope they are correct.

Code: Select all

$ urpmq --list-media active --list-url

Great.
It seems you have double set of same repo, same mirror, so delete the *distrib*
